Doesn't have the nads for it?
Smart money says, you most likely don't.
McCain is an odd duck, and a great bullshitter... I think he'd do just fine.

Yeah, but hes anything but cool, calm and collected. He'd blow his stack for sure. Ever watch Parliment? Its funny as hell. Like UFC, only for politicians!

As always, it's McCain in the spotlight. My biggest problem with McCain is his constantly seeking the approbation of the media (and face time on the shows) - he's got his face so tight to their butts all he can see is cheeks.

You can say what you want about Pres. Bush, but he doesn't give a flip what the media thinks or wants. That makes him OK in my book.

I would love to express my opinions and have Congress ask anything they wanted to ask, but I'm sure they would be upset to hear the TRUTH they so steadfastly hide.

No politican likes the truth.
For some reason, we have let lying become a profession in this country.

I like the idea. The current administration has done a terrible job of getting out it's message, instead leaving it to CNN and the left wing press.

I have a warm spot in my heart for Obama. He is as bad as it gets. That's where conservatism comes from: Finding yourself out of a job, because some someone shafted your company because "it was good for the country".

I like the latest game of mandating our auto industry out of existence with stiffer and stiffer CAFE standards. Cars will get smaller and smaller, import cars will come in to keep prices down, and the automotive industry finally realizes there is not money in it anymore and decides to stop manufacturing. Just like GE recently did with appliances.

Who is getting the word out that if your job is connected to the domestic auto industry, you are soon going to be history.
