POS McCain is at it again!!!

GGG Ping.

Damn. Is there ANYTHING that nitwit doesn't have his hands involved in?!

[Stellar Dendrite]

This man is more dangerous than the Democommies, at least we know they're the enemy. Many naive Republicans think McAsshat is someone "great" just because he's got an (R) next to his name. One has to wonder how effective the North Vietnamese propaganda was on this man....

My bro-in-law worked at the Smithsonian. Among other things repatriated to the Indians were scalps taken with blond female hair.

POS McCain is at it again!!!

I'm rooting hard, very hard, for The Lump but it's taking 'way too long and much damage is being done in the interim.

[Hank Rearden]

The Indians are scared spitless that Kennewick Man will be the beginning of a lengthy unravelling of their claims to being the "true" Americans. Witness the bulldozing and complete destruction of the site where the remains were found, and their current demands to abort the study of this skeleton.

There will be other Kennewick Men, and competing casinos, eventually.

Put a "D" by his name (arguably what he is) and reaction would be quite different.

This man is no different than Hillary, he's just smarter.

McCain has been very busy trying to round up a Clintonesque coalition of minority groups. The only thing that I can figure is that McCain either doesn't plan to run as a Republican or that he can persuade a lot of Democrats to cross over in the primary. He sure won't get the conservative vote.

What is wrong with him? What is wrong with the Indians for that matter? I can understand not wanting your great-grandparents' graves treated as an archeological dig, I really can. But Kennewick man is hardly in that class.

What gets to me is the mumbo-jumbo that gets said, the Indian creation myths, and how "that truth" forbids studying these ancient bones. And the liberal media eats it up. But let some Christian start talking "creationism" and they are ready to put them in the gulag. (Yes, I said gulag on purpose).

Why, WHY, are the richest and best educated of our civilization ready to sell us all down the river in a thrall to primative cultures at their most primative, ignorant, violent and destructive?

I watched Mutiny on the Bounty (mel gibson version, yes!) last night and all I can say is Bligh, Cook, et al must be rolling in their graves.

[Howlin]

Hank! Hank!

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winnah!

You are SO damn right; that's why they have been fighting this for YEARS!

[Soul Seeker]

Mccain thinks he can summon up enough Dems and Indy's and RINO's to vote for him in the primaries. His victories in 2000 were in states that mostly allowed open voting. Too bad there weren't enough of them to actually win the nomination. All he is succeeding in doing is creating an ABM clique that will unite to make sure he loses.

meanwhile the groups he thinks will lead him to victory are the same groups Hillary needs. So they'll be fighting over the same people, leaving the conservative block of Dems and Reps (far larger) open for the right candidate.

Kennewick Man to be studied in Seattle

Jim McDermott is going to be studied?

[Reactionary]

The bones appear Caucasian. That's what all of this is about.

The various Leftist groups that have erected the edifice of cultural guilt are bothered by that fact. They don't mind politicizing science if it suits their twisted cultural agenda.

An article in the WSJ, this morning, states that recent polls show John McCain and Rudi Guliani as the lead contenders for the Rep. nomination in 2008. The article said that both are better described as Mavericks than liberals, that Guliani is as resolute on terrorism as Churchill would have been and that McCain mixes social conservativism with media pleasing iconoclasm. (I guess the authors haven't been paying attention.)

[blam]

If push comes to shove, I'd vote for Rudy.

[Eva]

I'd vote Rudy over McCain too. I think that Rudy Guliani is a what you see is what you get kind of guy, where McCain is all smoke and mirrors, mostly the mirrors.

Thanks Blam. As seems obvious, McCain is undermining his political party by participating in this kind of crap. Does he seriously expect anyone in the country -- from the other side of the aisle -- to remember this? Even people with tribal affiliations elsewhere in the country aren't going to say, "oh, let's vote for the local Republican candidate" because of McCain's amendment.

The doctors, professors, and other scholars are going to be against it, but I doubt that they'll vote in favor of the local candidate either, once they remember what party McCain is from. There isn't enough public exposure of this action.

One way to get such exposure is to propose another amendment -- one that cuts funding for all archaeological projects on US soil. THAT would call attention to it. The rationale for the amendment would be that there's no point in digging if the finds can't be recorded and analyzed, ergo, it's a waste of money.

Obviously I'm not in favor of either amendment, but supporters of the McCain amendment are in fact advocating just that, and need to be called on it in a public way.
