1. Meanwhile, people are starving themselves so they can afford to fill up their gas tanks

But, yeah, McCain is a real man of the people. :eyes:

3. There's no reason people should starve --

we should just haul our lazy asses over to OUR man-made lakes on OUR 10 acre estates to catch us some lunch.

[Coexist]

4. hell, why don't we just fish at McCain's?

[gateley]

5. Great idea! Maybe Cindy will send her jet

to pick me up!

[gateley]

2. Wow. K&R. nt

6. Then NC must be full of elitists: "lakes" = "farm ponds"

I think the state will still help you stock them with fish. They would years ago. I'm not so elitist now since we sold that property.

BTW Bush has a similar "lake" on his "ranch".

8. yes it mentions Bush's lake in the article

all we get here in Florida is "retention ponds" that wading birds may "stock" for you.

I've never seen anyone other than a gator fishing in them.

9. There are fish in the NC ponds, but I mostly caught

Growing up, I fished quite a lot but didn't catch much. A big difference.

Some in my family were pretty good at it. I mostly caught redbugs/chiggers and ticks.

BTW those retention ponds in FL probably don't have any shade and get much too hot for most fish. You really need the trees, their roots, etc. to make it fish friendly. We have gators in NC; they particularly like all those new golf course water hazards along the coast of NC and SC.

7. McCain...

...is toilet shit. Normally I would be nonplussed by his run for "Prez", but idiots, mental paralytics, and retards are the preferred choices of Repubics for president. Republic cult members would be very wary of a candidate with a brain, or "ideers" greater than theirs.

As to McCain:

McCain's a pussy by my approximation...My grandfather(an Estonian) was captured by the Russians during WW2...and broke out with others, rejoined the fight...and subsequently escaped to the West. McCain was a pampered coward who let the Vietnamese subdue him...In other words, McCain should be in a grave...having not given secrets to the "enemy"....this fucker survived because he spilled the beans. This dickwad is no "Hero" and the fact that a coward like this is running for Prez is high comedy.

10. Cut him some slack; his condo on Camelback Road doesn't have a private swimming pool!

A man has to make compromises somehow...

I hope it's obvious, but in case it isn't: :sarcasm:

11. building a lake is not that extravagant

you sell the dirt for fill. In some areas fill is in such short supply that a lake will nearly dig itself.

The rednecks across the road made one for themselves and they are oystermen.

[gateley]

12. I bet having a lake is the only thing

McCain and your redneck oystermen neighbors have in common, though.
