Ad idea: Play mp3 of McCain lettuce comments over "Brokeback McCain" photo
The mp3 of this:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12155322 /

McCain responded by saying immigrants were taking jobs nobody else wanted. He offered anybody in the crowd $50 an hour to pick lettuce in Arizona.

Shouts of protest rose from the crowd, with some accepting McCain’s job offer.
“I’ll take it!” one man shouted.

McCain insisted none of them would do such menial labor for a complete season. “You can’t do it, my friends.”

Some in the crowd said they didn’t appreciate McCain questioning their work ethic.


Playing over this photo:



Voila! a fifteen second ad.

2. that looks like a painful photo--probably more humiliating than
anything they did to him in Nam since that didn't break him but the Bushies did.

3. So, how much do FARMERS and SOLDIERS make?
Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 12:36 PM by Inland
I can't think of harder jobs, with worse hours and conditions. Do they make the equivalent of $50.00 an hour? Nope. But farmers insist on it, and they make their children work the farms, too, as they are exempt from labor laws. Everyday Americans take military jobs just to get a leg up.

Fuck McCain. Fuck the idea that nobody will work hard, no matter what their straits, if an American.

4. I would pick lettuce for $50 per hour
And I am almost finished with my PhD.

I know it would hurt, but hey, I could use the money to buy dental insurance.

6. McCain is such a little nothing of man. If ever there was something...
... admirable about him, it is LONG since gone.

Lately he has been saying and doing some real stupid things.

10. I'd instantly be financially independent and clear of debt with that job.
Yeah, I'd do it, and I've got the body for it too.
