During a speech in Houston, TX, where McCain announced he is now for offshore drilling, after being opposed to it during his first Presidential Run, he lapsed into the "Good Ole Days" stating, "With gasoline running at $4 a barrel."

Add this to the growing list of McCain lapses or moments of confusion.

Prior to his announcement of support of offshore drilling, a move called a total sell out to Big Oil, McCain attended a number of fundraisers with Texas GOP Elite.

4. It was just a "senior moment."
Time to resurrect the old Genesis "Land of Confusion" video,
and substitute Mc(Ar-)Cain for Reagan when he can't distinguish
between the "nurse" button and the "nuke" button.

6. Should we be concerned?
It isn't just an age thing, McCain just generally, seems to lack clarity.

11. True enough. Bush lacks clarity whenever he opens his mouth
And he is over ten years younger than McCain.

7. Bullshit runs $4.00 a barrel.
It's the cheapest commodity in America.

10. To me, it looks more and more like a question NOT of how we
run against McCain BUT whether we will run against McCain at all.

Who can play the white knight and save the GOPukes from the disaster this bozo all but promises them?

I cannot beleive that the folks running that party will stand by and let this happen.

O and the gang had better have a strong Plan B on hand, and maybe a Plan C if it comes to that.

Let us not be Pearl Harbored by yet another sneaky Bushoid manuever that puts Jeb in the top spot on the GOP ticket.
