Scarborough: McCain’s Platform Is ‘Less Jobs And More Wars’
Scarborough: McCain’s Platform Is ‘Less Jobs And More Wars’

During the coverage of this evening’s Florida primary results, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough discussed the impact of John McCain’s victory with Pat Buchanan. The Republican establishment will rally around McCain and say “he’s the guy,” Buchanan said, but he cautioned that McCain’s vision for America was foreboding.

“What does he say? The jobs are never coming back, the illegals are never going home, but we’re gonna have a lot more wars,” Buchanan said of McCain. Scarborough remarked that McCain’s “inviting” presidential platform for the fall consists of “less jobs and more wars”:

BUCHANAN: Here’s a guy, basically, what does he say? The jobs are never coming back, the illegals are never going home, but we’re gonna have a lot more wars.

SCARBOROUGH: We’re gonna start a lot of wars! He has promised, for the record Keith, John McCain’s platform — and it certainly looks inviting for the fall — he has promised less jobs and more wars. Now that’s something we can all rally behind.

9. That this longtime Arizonan miss no opportunity to exoress her extremem displeasure with the
spineless, corrupt (remember the Keating Five?), lying, war-mongering, torture-enabling asshole who wants to be president so badly he abandoned his family and his principles to do so--well, all I have now is another fugly pic, but hey--WARNING: Creepy as hell...




From a thread I started a few weeks ago--apparently very few want to slam the "other" party much--sigh...

10. Ohhh...To Have Been Able To Mindread Olbermann
First...there was Tweety's constant spinning for his man-love, Rudeeee. He tried to put so much lipstick on that pig, Maybelline called with a C & D order.

Then there was the Joe & Pitchfork Pat show...you could see how both pained they were about the GOOP primary but also the joy in their voices in predicting their own party's demise. Kinda macabre. None of the remaining candidates "measure up" to some Raygun scale they've invented...and it seems they have more fun tearing things apart than rallying behind a candidate.

Olbermann was goaded a couple times to step from the "newsman" role and didn't bite. He just stood back as the others made total asses of themselves.
