Hey, Republicans, this might just be your opening, if you're looking for a new nominee for your party: John McCain may not be eligible for the office of the presidency after all.

It's not too late to lose that millstone around your party's neck and find someone new. 😀

I'll give you $344 billion reasons why Obama won't be president:
According to the nonpartisan National Taxpayers Union, Ill. Sen. Barack Obama's fiscal agenda will cost $344 billion a year. The Illinois senator's plans include:
• A government health care system that would likely cost more than $100 billion a year.

Originally posted by epiphinehasThe latter isn't an issue for me personally, but to be consistent, the folks who had issues with Bill Clinton's cheating should consider these issues about McCain. (Not saying I approve of cheating on a personal level, but it's not really something I'd judge a president based on; their job is to run the country. In any case, we don't know whether their spouse is in fact consenting to them having sex with someone else, in which case it wouldn't be cheating.)
OMG. McCain just slammed Obama for missing a vote to condemn the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization. There's only one minor problem with that: McCain himself missed the same vote! 😀

More pathetic John McCain news to report. (Big surprise, I know...)
In Pittsburgh he was asked what comes to mind when he thinks of Pittsburgh. He answered, "The Steelers," and went on to tell a moving story about his years as a P.O.W.:
"When I was first interrogated and really had to give some information because of the pressures, physical pressures on me, I named the starting lineup, defensive line of the Pittsburgh Steelers as my squadron mates."
Problem was, in the original story (which he wrote about in his book, and told countless times) it was the GREEN BAY PACKER'S starting defensive line he named.
Wow...... 😞

John McCain is demonstrating to the American people that he cannot run a competent campaign. Here are the top ten reasons why the Republicans need a different nominee (Note: all of these blunders happened in one single week - this week).
1. McCain unambiguously called Social Security "an absolute disgrace."
2. McCain's top economic policy adviser ca ...[text shortened]... ls:

2. McCain disavowed his advisor, however, the advisor was partly right. he just had the wrong target. the media and the democrats are a bunch of whiners ... look at the HUGE NUMBER OF FAILING LOANS ("NOOOTTT"😉.
3. i've notice that whenever Yahoo News or it's suppliers say "Iraq calls for timetable" it's actually some Iraqi politician calling for it. you wouldn't say "the USA calls for" when actually it's some functionary calling for, would you? has anyone managed to make this the official policy of Iraq? until then ... zzz.
