Juan McCAIN-BLOOMBERG ticket (gossip)
Thanks to Davepdx for relaying the wingnut attack moniker "Juan McCAIN" from his e-mail exchange with wingnut whacko Lars LARSON:


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2809406

"Funny thing, it was in my spam folder. He didn't address any aspect of the issue that I emailed him about. Instead he included a link to an article he had written for HumanEvents.com that was about John McCain's various positions on immigration.

In his signature he had the following: 'Just say NO to Juan McCain!'
I'd expect no less from him to tell the truth. So much for a conversation about the facts with him.

I considered replying to him with a link to a BlueOregon article that I had written last week about Sen. Gordon Smith. Then I thought about the old saying 'Don't try to teach a pig to sing...'

Dave"


There's no satisfying wingnuts in their quest for ideological purity.

Perfect(sic) Team?


WITH John McCain the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, it is unlikely Mayor Bloomberg will decide to run for president as an independent. McCain does well with independent voters and the two men are friends. McCain campaigned for Bloomberg in the 2001 mayoral election. But now there's speculation McCain will ask Bloomberg to be his running mate, with the promise that McCain, 71, will step down after one term so Bloomberg can succeed him. "Bloomberg would lock up the Jewish vote and help carry New York," said one Republican. A spokesman for McCain didn't return calls, but Bloomberg's rep said, "He's already said he's not interested."

1. I like this gossip better than the ones where Bloomberg is cast as "the good guy"
He got two meager victories in NYC in 2 elections with least turnout - by spending respectively 70 and 100 million (I calculated $100 per voter in the last one).
The guy who invited the RNC in NYC in 2004, is responsible for the spying on activists, the unlawful arrests that time is less consequential that Rudy was - and certainly NOT on our side. I say, file him in the same "Obsolete" folder with Nader the Cadaver

2. Wow, that would be a completely senseless ticket. Might as well
make sure his entire base stays home on election day. Can't see that happening.

3. Maybe Lars listens to Glenn Beck re: "Juan McCain"

I guess that this slam is making the right wing radio circuit.
