McCain has great vision and policy planning!

[Lux Interior]

Yes. I applaud all efforts to give the advantage to the super-wealthy candidates.

In fact, we should just appoint the wealthiest person in the nation as president.

What the hell, I don't care if he rides his wife's jet every day, for free.

Concentrating on this sort of minutiae is how we end up with someone like Bush in the White House, a "good boy" who would be "fun to have a beer with" and doesn't look "French". Jeebus.

Lux- fortunately that hasn't worked so far- Ross didn't win, either. Of course Bloomie got to be Hizzonor in NYC. Then again, St. JFK's family money sure didn't hurt his run for Prez.

Wow - a politician who knows how to work the system.
That's new.

You want a more French-looking President?

That's the most peculiar example of a qualification I've seen in a while.

Stick a beret on their head, a Gallois in their mouth, and a baguette under their arm and anybody looks French.

Put a pair of boots and a fancy belt buckle on a French guy, and he looks like a Texan. What difference does it make? lol

Oh, that was the big anti-Kerry thing. That he looked French. And that his wife was rich.

Oh no!. He asked for swiss cheese. Oh no! He windsurfed.

And, he was a flip-flopper. McCain is 100 times the flip-flopper.

That right wing echo chamber gave us four more years of Mr. Bush. LOL

I remember the "He looks French!" thing.

Honestly, if that actually swayed anybody, they should lose their right to vote.

Nah. The big, German guy I saw yesterday wearing shorts with black socks would have still looked German.
