John McCain has gotten onboard the GOP's horseless wagon powered by the content of that newfangled Web technology which now floods the datastreams with vacuity, Twitter. McCain stands proudly together with other Republicans, as Tweety Blurred LooneyCons, the GOP's rank, texting byte-sized messages small enough to be ingested by The Party's defiled. To believe Twitter is the path that leads to a future Republican majority is InterTubular Fails.

U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has taken his fight against wasteful government spending to the Twitter social networking site and continues to push for small business tax cuts to help the sagging economy.

McCain's Twitter posts include earmarks for pet projects in various states...

McCain also criticized federal spending in the stimulus package and other appropriations bills on Fox News Sunday reaffirming his preference for tax cuts.

Now some who read this will be doubters and naysayers; wondering whether McCain is actually Tweeting away, thinking that he probably has some aide do it. Justin Germany, formerly the McCain 2008 Director of Online Media, and Bush-Cheney 2004 videographer, tweeted two weeks ago about McCain taking to wing, as the skypilot in control of his twittering:

• RT @anamariecox If you have noticed a slight change to the tone of @senjohnmccain's Tweets, that's because he now writing them himself. - 3:40 PM Feb 25th

Justin spun the truth some; but that's unsurprising considering he is a partisan loyalist media flack, and Mac elitist. The very next day, McCain tweeted about steep learning curves, keeping him from going solo navigating through the canyon lands of posting 140 character max text messages on a Blackberry alone. It was also the same day that McCain started taking his stimulus opposition to the tweets, posting lame top-ten lists of projects he asserted were wasteful:

• YEs!! I am twittering on my blackberry but not without a little help! - - 6:07 AM Feb 26th
• Tmr I am gonna tweet the TOP TEN PORKIEST PROJECTS in theOmnibus Spending bill the Congress is about to pass - - 10:08 AM Feb 26th

This had to be McCain's composition. No Senator's aide with even a smattering of Web2.0 self-consciousness would text the fabricated word: "Porkiest". When the medium is texting delimited by 140 characters, the message often is castaway when littered with anti-semantic folderol. Judging from what McCain presented as the most egregious examples of Congresspersons bringing the fatback back home as cracklings for their constituencies, it looks as if the Democrats have proven once again that when compared to Republicans, they are the lamer of two evils, in this instance, nowhere near as fiscally irresponsible as the debauchers who starred in The GOP Gone Wild In DC: 2002-2006. Many of McCain's examples are distorted descriptions of the funded projects, and even if every one of them are improper uses of the public treasury, the sum is insignificant, when compared to the total in the stimulus bills. I have extracted out of McCain's Twitter stream, the seven top-ten "porkiest project" lists he has posted so far. Oddly, those seven top ten lists added up only to 67, and two of those were duplicated, one within the same list. Hell, John didn't even have to take off his shoes, because he was only ciphering up to ten. If math and details aren't his strong point, maybe some other Republican should be leading this charge.
