“it’s remarkable” alright—unless it pertains to McCain and then it’s lies. /s

Google anyone and generally the first entry is from Wikipedia. If McCain is using the “I feel lucky” button then we’re screwed.

One of the few things I agree with McCain about.

After all, that’s how I found out what an incredible Judas he is.

FRs own Linda Eddy did that poster.

You really need to see her web site ( http://www.iowapresidentialwatch.com/ ) for some really great stuff. Her political cartoons are superior.

Does she have the one on McCain search where there are no results for Conservative and it suggests Liberal instead?
