But it appears that he has nothing against porking lobbyists.

I'll be playing here all week.

2. I thought McCain meant to say that he kept kosher, so he didn't eat pork
There is pork and then there is pork.

6. Instead of having an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other
to balance each other out, I just have two devils. :)

13. Strange, but I never remember him condemning "lobbyists"
He always used the super sanitized term "special interests."

Does the money he gets from lobbyists make a difference?

17. I added it for the trolls
you need to spell stuff out for them. Being part of Chimpy's 19 percent means that they're a little slow.

Mercer was looking attractive, but I never felt he could roll up his sleeves and just dive right into the mud headfirst.

32. I have a unique ability to lower the bar like that
I am the rare candidate who actually believes the discourse isn't bad enough. That may also explain why I have no delegates. .... yet...

37. I know that almost kills the suspense
because I was hoping people would think: "McCain against pork... lobbyists... is this going to be a McCain as a maverick post?" But no, it's me, so you just knew it would get dirty. :)

39. McCain is nothing special.
He's not an independent, he's not a maverick. He's still beholden to the same corrupt GOP machine that gave us Reagan, the Bushes, and that gave us 8 yrs of investigating imaginary crimes under the Clinton administration.

His only claim to fame is that he's an extreme asshole who just happens to have been able to survive national scrutiny without killing someone.
