OMG McCain is an ENVIRONMENTALIST! He speaks for the fishes just as the Lorax did for the trees…

Amanda, whether or not fish congregate around oil rigs is not an issue of any import.

Contrariwise, damage to offshore oil wells and the breakage of pipelines leading between offshore rigs and the mainland destroy many fish and other marine species, as well as foul coral reefs and other littoral nurseries.

We can’t bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell ‘em stories that don’t go anywhere – like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah – the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

Sen. Obama has explained six way till Sunday and you knuckleheads can’t comprehend lint. You are just jealous that Sen. Obama will bring back the shine to the US.

see you in Alaska!

I guess you proved my point, you idiot, 2 party system has failed.

You get elected president in america on charm, sound bites and sounding sincere…saying things of substance will disqualify you.

Its the fuzzy feeling that the candidate conveys. It makes us all feel soo f##cking good.

Mc Cain, Palin, Obama, Biden not a thing to offer this sinking nation.

And by the way, on that oil rig — and I’m sure you’ve probably heard this story — you look down, and there’s fish everywhere! There’s fish everywhere! Yeah, the fish love to be around those rigs. So not only can it be helpful for energy, it can be helpful for some pretty good meals as well. […]

Only an insensitive jerk would mention “good meals” without thinking about the environment or the species of the fish being killed. Only a repug would talk about eating these fish w/o the benefit of knowing how safe the fish are around oil rigs.

mcchimpy thinks he’s Jesus or something, turning oil rigs into fish to feed the masses.

John “Tuna Fish” Mc Cain strikes again possessing an in-depth knowledge of the subject matter and mesmerising his deeply “curious” audience with his captivating wit and candor!

All we have in America to run for president is an over-the-hill white-guy and a black guy who can’t expand on his message of “change”.

WTF…America will you please throw out the corrupt and useless two-party system and start a REAL democratic system all over again.

No one ever hits McCain on his education. The guy just isn’t very bright and it shows in his statements like this. He was 894th in a class of 899 at the Naval academy. One the other hand Obama was a professor of constitutional law. Who would you rather have lead this country? I’ll take the young smart guy over the dumb old guy any day. He insults all our intelligence by these ridiculous statements.

By that logic, since smokers congregate near ashtrays, ashtrays are good for smokers.

And since dolphins are frequently found in tuna nets, tuna nets are good for dolphins.

And since dumbasses are frequently found at McCain rallies, that means McCain rallies are good for dumbasses.

When my President remarks about another country I want more than “I’m not sure what the play is”.
McCain continues to shine a light on his inability to lead when it is necessary to employ the tactics of fear and half-truths and tells the people it will taste good too.

Hi Evil Spaniard! On behalf of the American people, I’d like to apologize that J. Sidney McCain is seemingly including your Prime Minister in the “Axis of Evil”

But if it’s any consolation, most of us understand that he’s just an old, dumb ph*uck.

PEACE

No need to apologize on your behalf. We know what is a crazy old fart, and we know other people isn’t responsible for its irresponsible babbling.

I also heard a spokesman for the Alaska pipeline say the caribou love the pipeline because it is warm. Ignorant bastard

I forgot about that one!

Sounds like all animals are lovin’ them some oil! Well, except for the dinosaurs. I hear they’re still holding a grudge about being referred to as “fossil fuel”.

PEACE

And then they said the herd of caribou was getting bigger because of the pipeline. Of course the next day they said they had to have aerial wolf hunts because they were decimating the caribou herd. Go figure.
