I understand that Andrew Jacksons opponents call him a Flaming Jacobite, and even spread a rumor he married his cousin on occasion. Racy stuff. This has gone on since the dawn of time, and quite frankly, I want a president that is tough enough to take it. When John McCain ran for congress the first time in 1982, he responded to charges of carpetbagging with the following quote<br> "Listen, pal. I spent 22 years in the Navy. My father was in the Navy. My grandfather was in the Navy. We in the military service tend to move a lot. We have to live in all parts of the country, all parts of the world. I wish I could have had the luxury, like you, of growing up and living and spending my entire life in a nice place like the First District of Arizona, but I was doing other things. As a matter of fact, when I think about it now, the place I lived longest in my life was Hanoi."<br><br><br>Game, Set, Match to McCain<br><br>I do love politics, especially Bare knuckled Chicago Style, even the dead get a chance or two to vote.

At all. Not when I saw him in person, not in the debates, not when he sends me the same email three days in a row. In fact, when his campaign does that last one, I question his ability to efficiently run the U.S. if he can't even manage his campaign. In thinking about my lack of inspiration the other day, though, it occurred to me that perhaps I am unimpressed because I already believed the things that he is trying to inspire me to. What optimistic American who still believes in the political process wouldn't?j.http://unjuicier.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
