Know what, Maverick? I can change my Avatar back.

I'm hearing disconcerting rumors that McCain is planning to endorse the so-called Gang of 10 16 20 energy legislation. That would be a huge mistake. In terms of its effect on the conservative base, supporting the Gang of 20's energy bill would be like McCain pouring a big bucket of cold water on the fire he started with the Palin pick.

Well, that would be putting it mildly. What it would do precisely is ram a shiv in the neck of Maverick's newly energized base and probably put Barry "Jesus, my brother, was a Community Organizer" Obama in the White House.

It would, in other words, be precisely the sort of frigtard stupid nonsense we were expecting after Maverick was safely in the Oval Office - but had every reason to believe, especially given the Palin pick, would be kept under control by, well, brighter people until at least November 4th.

Brilliant move, Maverick - toss-in your lot with Congress and their 9% approval rating just at the time gas prices are starting to creep back up.

Freaking. Brilliant.

Let us all hope, my sisters and brothers, this is just another Lieberman-Pro Choice Veep-type headfake.

For Ace this is a "flaming skull" moment - never a particularly good sign.

It's better to have no bill at all than a phony one which dishonesty "proves" there's simply no point to drilling more American oil.

At least with no bill, we can keep fighting on this vital issue into the future, with some hope of success.

Precisely so. Ace continues in a vein much like I would like to say here - but posting guidelines prevent it. I'll just say "Amen" to his rant.

that brilliant move all on his own...and lest we forget, or in case you hadn't heard...John McBrilliant is promising to stock his cabinet with a healthy dose of Democrats!

Sarah's gonna be busy saving him from himself over the next 4 years!

It’s not worth all of the angst until it actually becomes true. Remember all the other rumors that we have heard lately? Does a guaranteed Pawlenty pick ring a bell?

and that he is a known leftist, McCain couldn't lose this election if he tried.

DocJ and too many conservatives and repubs wake every day up looking for a reason to be defeatist, partially a consequence of not reading my informed blogs!

haha

but seriously, known leftists lose

agree on the fact that it would be a huge mistake

Palin knows better. She knows that we must remove obstacled to drilling and building refineries by gutting the Endangered species act and other ways lawsuits stop America in its tracks.

You know, I'll happily update this blog with a retraction if Maverick denounces Little Lord Lindsey's "compromise" sell-out. But until someone can tell me it's implausible Maverick truly is this stupid this is my story and I'm sticking to it.

And damn near every day John McCain wakes up looking for a reason to kick me in the nuts.

And frankly, I'm a little sore from 10-years of it.

Oh, and FWIW, Palin, you'll recall, is Number Two on the ticket - she will do what Maverick says. Get used to it.

defeatist...I'm the one that's said for a month or more that we could take back Congress and been called an idiot for it...now the polls bear me out...

But I'm a realist where McCain is concerned...It may well be a rumor...my reply to that is...SO? Maybe Pawlenty or Lieberman or Ridge were rumors too...my question there is..."Were they really?" Isn't it possible that it was our objection to them that got us Palin? I don't know the answer to that...but I know it's possible that had we not responded to those rumors we might well have gotten Lieberman as the VP nominee and a guaranteed victory for the golden child in November.

Our silence is our consent...and if the Maverick is thinking of supporting Little Lord Fauntleroy in his subterfuge...we need to let him know we won't tolerate it!

And were it implausible - even unlikely - I'd never have forwarded it.

But, you know, it's not only plausible, but likely. Right?

and contrite in the drilling deal...but the Dems in the cabinet is no rumor...he said it with Cameras rolling.

I guess I'm too quick to expect the worse from the Maverick...because we've so often gotten just that...there is no harsher teacher than experience...

I'll give him a pass on this one for Sarah's sake...but I won't put on the rose colored glasses concerning him either.

... but folks there is a simple answer for this - and I mention it here.

That Maverick supports this is still, blessedly, a rumor.

That Chamblis, Isakson, Corker, Thune, and Little Lindsey support it is reality. Here's their numbers...

Sen. Saxby Chambliss (GA) -- 202-224-3521 -- 770-763-9090
Sen. Johnny Isakson (GA) -- 202-224-3643 -- 770-661-0999
Sen. Bob Corker (TN) -- 202-224-3344 -- 423-756-2757
Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC) -- 202-224-5972 -- 864-250-1417
Sen. John Thune (SD) -- 202-224-2321 -- 605-334-9596

I've called and left messages - have you?

The ranks of the Crapweasels on Energy are, ahem, growing.

Methinks they ain't gotten the message, yet.
