Tony GOPrano said...

Despite the feeble attempts by Fox News, Rush 'Oxi-Contin' Limbaugh, Sean "Romney & Colmes" Hannity, John McCain IS the only choice for Republicans. Rick 'I am a LOSER' Santorum who got his ass handed to him in 2006, is just a SORE LOSER. Who went out of his way in 2006 to go to PA and try to help save that moron Santorum? No other than John McCain.

McCain endorsed? It's called insanity right? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? McCain runs around making deals within the establishment in return for their support. We send another arrogant career politician back to DC, who has already been there for 25 years (anyone impressed?), as Pres he has to return all of the endorsement favors. Is this progress?

Yes, Progress:the development of an individual or society in a direction considered more beneficial than and superior to the previous level.

Yes, By Johnny, You've Got it!

That's the ticket - a gradual understanding of what everyone else knows!
