Conservative Republican idiocy a sure thing
Quote: “I read the other day that Sen. McCain likes to gamble.Quote logo He likes to roll those dice. And that’s OK. I enjoy a little friendly game of poker myself every now and then. But one thing I know is this: We can’t afford to gamble on four more years of the same disastrous economic policies we’ve had for the last eight.”
Where there’s conflict-of-interest smoke . . .

Were Palin to become president, her handlers would make sure White House veterans such as Karl Rove . . . maybe even Dick Cheney were brought back to do the real policy-making and political strategizing. . . .The result would be the worst of the Bush administration reloaded, re-energized and turned loose to do their damnedest again.
Dishonest duo out to break GOP record
With a cranky, sold-out septuagenarian and his flaky female sidekick to peddle, the McCain campaign has settled on a strategy of flooding the airwaves with falsehoods. Face it, as McCain’s handlers obviously have, honesty and openness will never win the White House for these Republican lamers.
