Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeettt

.
Sunday night on 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley elicited few details from John McCain. Oh there was a laundry list of issues where he differed with President Bush--a short laundry list that belies the facts.

Treatment of prisoners, Senator? But you supported George Bush's authorization of torture...after you opposed it.

Mostly, during the segment I viewed, McCain seemed to be more inclined to bash Obama with deceptive statements [Obama will raise taxes...well, yeah, except for that 95% of Americans who will get tax cuts.] than to offer detail on how he would accomplish any of the goals he espouses.

Well, there was one little detail he mentioned. A detail that surely will perk up the ears of farmers who raise sugar beets up here in Prairie Country. Farmers down south who raise sugar products, too.

McCain said tonight on 60 Minutes he would cut the sugar subsidy.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttt.
