   John McCain, the man who made robo call for Pombo.He just did it again.  Knee jerk reaction again.  Anyone who seriously thinks about nuclear electric power, and that include Ahmadinejad as well as McCain, need to take a long drive out to Flagstaff and talk to Stefanie Raymond-Whish at Northern Arizona Univ... or better yet go on over to Farmington New Mexico and talk to her mother, Nellie Sandoval, a breast cancer survivor.
   Rayomond-Whish is doing research at NAU which documents uranium's behavior as an estrogen mimic and provides us with a direct link to cancers.  
   Every nuclear energy plant should be mandated to pay for every instance of cancer around any of the mines that provide the raw uranium and all of the way up the chain.  
   McCain will say whatever is politically expedient, support whatever is popular among Pomboid Republicans and smile while he does it.
   Then, he should come back and explain why women's lives are so cheap, why Indians are still expendible and what he is going to do about rising health care costs.

   Senator, you have no spine.John McCain blasted Bush's four tax cuts for the rich as irresponsible when they were proposed. Now he wants to make them permanent.  He favored action on climate change and reductions of greenhouse gases, but now he wants to burn more fossil fuels that produce them.  He favored protecting public lands such as the Arctic Refuge, but cheers when someone rich says "drill everywhere."  In short, he is a fraud.
