Trying to align with this country’s past events with those who stood to their ground for freedom, fall very short.When his past actions and statements don’t even align with the facts of the present events.
This leaves more than just a little to question.

McCain’s Lexington Project
By MICHAEL COOPER
LAS VEGAS – Some might have called it bold, and others foolhardy, when Senator John McCain followed his call to allow offshore drilling with a visit to California, where the idea is controversial to say the least.
My comment here:
I would call it based on yet more lies my self.
The same thing could be said of his trip here on Wednesday, where his call for 45 new nuclear plants by 2030 cannot but remind voters of the plan to store nuclear waste at nearby Yucca Mountain.
My comment here:
I wonder if he would be willing to leave at the base of Yucca Mountain?
But Mr. McCain, summing up a couple of weeks of talking about energy policy, gave a speech here Wednesday in which he lamented “the timid litany of limitations” when it comes to energy policy.“We are offered the same agenda of inaction
My comment here:
Would this be the same agenda of inaction of the Bush administration‘s to his energy policy or lack there of?
that long recitation of things we cannot do, energy we cannot produce, refineries we cannot build, plants we cannot approve, coal we cannot use, technologies we cannot master,’’ he said.
My comment here:
Would this be the same, technologies that have been buried by this same administration
The same refineries they want to drill off shore that they have done nothing with the ones they have.
Or that they have reports for they have had from the start they would not effect gas prices.
Instead, he said in a speech here at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, he was offering an energy policy he called the “Lexington

TAMPA - In a three-day tour of Florida this week McCain had to answer for positions he has taken against the interests of Florida on two key state issues: a bill including Everglades’s restoration money & a national catastrophic insurance fund.
McCain sided with Bush on both issues while Obama sides with Floridians, among whom Everglades’s restoration and a "cat fund" to help stabilize insurance rates are popular causes.
Making a stop in the Everglades on Friday to showcase his environmentalist credentials, a distinction he hopes to make between himself & Bush, his campaign found itself defending his opposition to the Everglades measure.
The bill, the Water Resources Development Act of 2007,
The state-federal program, intended as a 50-50 split, has gone mostly unfunded at the federal level since its 2000 inception.
But McCain opposed it and, when Bush vetoed it, urged colleagues to sustain the veto. The veto was overridden.
Gov. Charlie Crist called the passage "one step closer to our goal of restoring the South Florida ecosystem"
McCain insists he has been & remains strongly for Everglades restoration. "I am committed to the preservation of the Everglades," he told a group of newspaper editors Wednesday in Orlando. "I will do whatever is necessary to do so."
My Comment here:
And it showed McCain opposed it than sided with Bush on both issues when Bush vetoed it, urged colleagues to sustain the veto.
Just like Yucca Mountain he will do what every it takes to get your vote.
To bad it’s not in the best interest of the public or they environmental ecosystem in which we have to live.
''John McCain's decision to side with George Bush & break our promise to the Everglades demonstrates that he's offering nothing but four more years of the same all-talk, no-action approach to the environment,''

''John McCain's decision to side with George Bush & break our promise to the Everglades demonstrates that he's offering nothing but four more years of the same all-talk, no-action approach to the environment,''
Florida's Republican senator, Mel Martinez, voted with the 79-14 majority to trump Bush's veto of the legislation, the first of his presidency.
Gov. Charlie Crist lobbied for the override in Washington & said the measure authorized ``desperately needed projects & funding that will ensure the continued restoration of one of America's greatest natural treasures.''
Eric Draper, deputy policy director at Audubon of Florida said ''It bothers me that Sen. McCain would vote against this funding & then come down and act like he's a friend of the Everglades,''
