McCain Plane Still Flying
Cindy McCain said Thursday that she would never release her personal income tax filing even if her husband, Senator John McCain, was elected president. But Federal Aviation Administration records indicate that she appears to be using her personal wealth to help his campaign, through the continued use of her corporate jet.
Mr. McCain has said his campaign’s method of reimbursing his wife’s company for the plane is legal, and no one disputes that. But critics have argued that Mrs. McCain is effectively subsidizing her husband’s campaign because either she or her company has to make up for the difference between what his campaign pays for the jet’s use and what it really costs to operate it.
OT percent change of receipts vs. outlays (how much 'taxing' grew compared to 'spending'), year-over-year, averaged for the term of presidency
for the 4 years of carter, collected 2.50% more than it spent for the 8 years of clinton, collected 4.75% more than it spent
for the 8 years of reagan, collected 0.25% less than it spent for the 4 years of bush I, collected 2.00% less than it spent for the 8 years of bush II, collected 2.50% less than it spent
'tax and spend' is better than 'borrow and spend' as the benefits are enjoyed by the people who pay them now and as opposed to the costs being passed on, t'would be better to tax appropriately and spend less, but hey, that would be the fiscally prudent thing to do

This woman is a perfect match for the GOP. Wasn't she caught spying on her employees? Did she have cameras in the bathroom? She is an ugly piece of work. I stopped buying HP products shortly after she took over. The quality of HP products went into the crapper under her management. HP and Compaq are in my NO Buy Zone.

This is why no one should vote for McCain:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain said on Tuesday he would appoint judges in the mold of conservatives John Roberts, Samuel Alito and former Chief Justice William Rehnquist if he were elected in November.
McCain = Bush

Carly Fiorino looks like Barry Manilow with a wig.

They look impressive, but I think they're cubic zirconia. I could be wrong, though. McCain runs with a champagne crowd - he knows every lobbyist in the country from what I've been reading.

As my ex-wife used to say, that could deflate a horse.
