Conservative? McCain? No, sir, not in Houston, Texas. He''s more of a water boy for any cause that suits him. I think they call him a mealymouthed maverick. Method in the madness. And, say, I thought he was the same guy the RNC roasted when Bush was the party favorite. What happened? McCain got saved,too?

McCAIN ON THE ENVIRONMENT-- AT BEST A MEDIOCRE AND CONFUSED FLIP FLOPPER

Oh there''s a good one! Call McCain a flip flopper!

Obama stumped on Hanford nuke waste clean-up, %u201CUhhhhhhhhhh%u201D
By Michelle Malkin %u2022 May 19, 2008 07:43 PM If you put yourself out there as the presidential candidate most in touch with The People, if you put yourself out there as the champion of the environment, and if you put yourself out there as the candidate best able to represent the Pacific Northwest and bring about %u201Cchange,%u201D you should have a staff competent enough to brief you on the biggest policy issues consuming the electorate%u2019s energies there as you campaign for votes.

The Hanford nuclear waste clean-up has gone on for decades. It%u2019s been a cause celebre for environmentalists and the PNW congressional delegation. When I worked at the Seattle Times, I took a tour of the now-closed Fast Flux Test Facility at Hanford, which some cancer researchers said could have been used to produce life-saving medical isotopes. Every year brings new funding battles. Hanford is to the region as Yucca Mountain is to Nevada, and Obama was plenty opinionated about the latter issue.

Well, McCain was asked about Hanford last week while in Washington state and offered a concrete policy answer!

Freaking Obama had never HEARD of it! One of the most dangerous places in the United States!

Borrow one of Obama''s race cards and throw it at him! And call all the people that vote for him ignorant people who can''t see past their turbans and Korans!

You should''ve just claimed you didn''t have any lobbyists on your campaign team like Obama did!

My friends, the definition of stupidity is believing in fairy tales and wishing for change from an inexperianced and unqualified candidate. MCain will win in Nov. 2008. It is because of Clinton that this will happen. Those who support her now will not vote for Obama. This, my friends, is a fact.

My friends, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.

McCain=Bush.

Ergo: don''t be insane, say no to McCain!

''Mindful that the unpopular Bush is a liability, McCain has started to distance himself from the president in speeches that encapsulate his own vision. Still, McCain is signaling he will use Bush where necessary; the two, for example, are appearing at a joint fundraiser later this month.''

It''s too little, too late. Only a short time ago, McCain was fawning over Bush in the Rose Garden and he''s changed his original views to back Bush (flip-flopping) too many times over the past few years. And to appear at ANY fund-raiser with Bush is simply going to reinforce that he is more of McSame.

In a sign of the troublesome times, the GOP has lost three special elections to fill vacant Republican seats this year.

The backdrop to those defeats: Bush''s popularity is low, and a vast majority the public doesn''t like the direction the country is heading. It''s on the brink of a recession - if not already in one - and it''s in the sixth year of a costly Iraq war that most people no longer support but that McCain does. Fundraising figures and primary turnout numbers also indicate that the GOP base isn''t nearly as revved up as its counterpart.

Pack it up, old man.....
