Of course, I replied "ALL" on this baby

Whoever wrote this forgets that Republicans tend to crank out more debt than Democrats do. So that $5 mil in pension is chump change compared to the $5trillion increase in the national debt we've seen over the last 8 years. And don't forget, McCain is a 3 time cancer survivor....there's a good chance he won't complete 2 terms, and then we'll be stuck with his presumably younger VP. There go your savings right out the door! Now that I think of it, we could actually save a lot of money by NOT electing someone who is going to declare war on yet ANOTHER country that never attacked us. Hey, this economic analysis thing is actually starting to make sense!

2. Not yet, but I will!
I'm surprised, since most of my wingnut relatives don't send RW crap anymore. They've been burned too many times. :evilgrin:

4. I've been doing a point by point reply to Republican lies. I then invite
them to try to find fault with my arguments. I reminded them to do as I do by supporting their arguments. Calling me a baby killer or a looney leftist means nothing without evidence to back up the charges. Nobody has been able to find fault other than saying the New York Times and the BBC are liberal rags.

3. God, they're truly grasping at straws, aren't they?
I can't believe the shit people come up with.

5. I believe that wingnut politics really is that juvenile
Sad, but this is what passes for actual argument in those circles.
