    USA to "Grampy" McCain: It's time for you to retire.

    At last, we Democrats can focus our attention on our true opponent: John "Grampy" McCain. Grampy will not win. He's an angry old conservative white man with a huge vindictive streak and a fondness for military action over diplomacy. He's also filthy rich and a born aristocrat. We do not need him, and when you put him side by side next to Barack Obama, all of his glaring weaknesses will become manifest.

    Now, if we can get 60 Democratic Senators (not including that putz, Joe Lieberman), we might actually have a chance of rescuing this country from the downward spiral the Repugs have put us on since the damned Reagan MisAdministration.
