A Good Laugh LTTE on McCain/Palin being candidates of change

A Good Laugh

I heard a really funny joke this week. A lifelong government employee who has been in Congress for nearly 30 years and whose campaign is run by lobbyists is teaming up with a woman who is known as the Queen of Pork-Barrel Earmarks and are trying to sell themselves as the candidates of change. That is hysterical. The only thing John McCain and Sarah Palin will change in Washington is running up the deficit even further while we enrich lobbyists, getting into wars with Russia and Iran and destroying Social Security and Medicare and having the middle class pay for it all. How can John McCain seriously sell himself as a candidate of change? That’s the biggest joke in politics since Howard Stern ran for governor of New York, or since Ross Perot added Admiral Stockdale to his ticket.

1. Let's just not hope the joke's on us again

The Republican ticket would be guaranteed a solid 42% even if the ticket
were comprised, AGAIN, of Bush and Cheney. For that matter, they could
count on a solid 42% if their ticket were comprised of Osama bin Laden
and Benedict Arnold. If McFailin' takes office, it will be the sickest
joke of our lifetimes, and one I'd rather not have to tell.

3. If they got 42%, it would be an historic landslide loss

even bigger percentage-wise than Mondale losing to Reagan or McGovern v Nixon.

4. That's just the percentage that would vote for them blindly

I was guessing, at that. I didn't include the other 10% who will vote for
them because they actually LIKE what they see and hear. It's still an uphill battle.

2. The only thing McLame changed

His tune. This is what he is:
