Let me second that. Many of us don't have the luxury of scrolling through hundreds of posts all day long. The more often an article is posted, the better.
That said, McCain will be very brave if he actually takes a stand against government ethanol subsidies. I think the time is perfect, though. It won't make me like him, but it will help me choke down the bile when I vote for him in November.
AMEN!

But economic conservatives should take heart. McCain's chief economic adviser - and perhaps his closest political friend - is the ultimate pure play in free market faith, former Texas Senator Phil Gramm. If McCain follows Gramm's counsel, and most of his current positions are vintage Gramm indeed, his policies as president would represent not just a sharp departure from the Bush years, but an assault on government growth that Republicans have boasted about, but failed to achieve, for decades.
I am fully aware of the many negatives that McCain carries with him, but he does have positives. He's a mixed bag when all is said and done. He'll be about as conservative as Bush. Not my preference, but the best option we've got at this time. I wish people would stop bitching like a bunch of girls about what's going on at the top. Do something to reconsititute conservatism at the local level. The presidential campaign is what it is, we lost. Get over it and do something positive.
