You wanna know what is so insane about McCain's comments that illegals started the wildfires in Az?

[jillan]

It's June in Arizona... the hottest month of the year.

The 'illegals' that are crossing the southern desert in triple digit temperatures are NOT making campfires to stay warm.

This is what accuweather.com looks like for Arizona these days:
...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM NOON TO 7 PM MST WEDNESDAY... ...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM NOON TO 7 PM MST THURSDAY..

* TEMPERATURES...THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURES OF THE SEASON ARE EXPECTED WITH TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM 104 IN EASTERN AREAS TO AROUND 110 NEAR TUCSON.
* IMPACTS...POTENTIALLY NEAR RECORD HEAT WILL CAUSE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS.

1. Now don't be trying to throw logic at Gramps.

[Vanje]

2. He might as well have said

the fires were caused by the Joos , or the blacks, or taking a page from Westboro Baptist, the Gayz, because Gawd hates those Gayz, and Gawd, in His omnipotence surely has some matches or a lighter.

Its hate speech y'all.

[lonestarnot]

3. No, June is not the hottest month in AZ. July and August by far.

Lumpy was senile long ago. Good thing he doesn't consider himself a masochist. ;)

[jillan]

4. July and August much more miserable when the humidity gets higher. No doubt about that.

[lonestarnot]

6. Also longer run on strings of hotter days in the teens.

I hate having to shut down the swamper for numerous reasons.

[politicasista]

5. delete..not important n/t

[Politicalboi]

7. Of course illegals started the fires

They did it, so they can blend in and sneak on the fire trucks to get a ride into town. The firemen who are white, look darker after a fire, so no one will notice.:crazy:

[NICO9000]

8. Bravo!

That's the best explanation I've heard yet!

:yourock:

[Politicalboi]

10. Yes because we know how much

The illegals want the authorities around while sneaking into the good ole US of A.

[UTUSN]

9. Mc5planes has 7 houses (he couldn't remember how many) & prolly has artificial fireplaces

so thinks "fires" are for ambiance.

The Blue Ribbon Fire about 85 miles northeast of Tallahassee had previously been declared contained, but it flared back up ...

Cigarette butts, power lines, hot engines, spontaneous combustion of some organic matter, lightning strikes -- hell, I wouldn't be surprised if a spark caused by a rockfall sometimes didn't set off the tinderbox
