John McCain supports SJ

[Bubbler]

Or least McCain advertises here. Anyone notice the ads?

Maybe he posts here. Hey McCain, I'm not voting for you, but fetch me a beer anyway.

Yeah, fetch me a beer as well, McCain, you douche. And none of your Cave Creek Arizona pisswater, either. A nice, cold Harp with a chilled Pilsener glass, if you don't mind. Or even if you do mind. Warmongering asshat.

sheesh, way to make the thread political, irish.

Maybe we an ask John which is worse: A Vietnamese tiger cage or SportsJournalists.com on a dark, lonely night.

So when was the last time a presidential candidate used something besides red and blue or blue and white for his/her campaign color(s)?

I'm thinking Carter in 1980: green and white. Didn't work. Of course, the hostage crisis probably screwed him worse than his use of green.

By the way, just for the record, I respect McCain's military service. His political career, no.

That kinda like the Dallas Mavericks green and white in your avatar?

Hey McCain is a bad ass! He can walk through an Iraqi neighborhood and nobody messes with him.

Carter used green and white in '76, too.
Worked then.

 

[Claws for Concern]

I'll take a Newcastle, McCain.

I was too young to remember Carter's wearin' o' the green in 76. Really, I don't think there's any significance to a candidate's campaign colors.

As for the Mavs, they switched from having green road unis to blue ones right in the midst of their early 90s gotterdammerung. Didn't help.

For some reason, the color digression made me think of a funny story. A buddy of mine went through a Marxist phase as a teenager...this was the early 70s. At that time, he was a student at Grand Prairie (Texas) H.S. Well, the little town of Grand Prairie (between Dallas and Arlington) was growing and they needed a second high school. So they created South Grand Prairie H.S. to serve the town's south side, where most of the "Mexicans" and other poor folk lived. Students at the old GPHS were offered the option to transfer to the new SGPHS regardless of whether they lived in the district. My buddy and some of the other countercultural types from GPHS transferred to the new school in the barrio.

The new school had a referendum to choose the new school colors. My friend and his pinko commie buddies chose red and gold in honor of global socialist revolution. Sounded good to everyone else. To this day, SGPHS proudly sports the red and gold.
