The google ad beside this post says "A shocking secret coffee co's
don't want you to know"

I gave up coffee, so I don't care.

I hope that McCain and Clinton both lose, because they are awful,
awful people. And I really don't want to know any more about Obama,
because if I did, I might find out why he's horrible too. I would like
to press fast forward and get the election over with.

It is already over, Pie.

BTW, Obama's rhetoric has spawned a new product: "Hooked on Obamics"
coming soon to your WalMart so that your child can learn to orate
brilliantly and say absolutely nothing.

Speechwriting. It's writing, innit?

Ted Sorenson was JFK's speechwriter. He's currently backing Obama.

She pretty well nailed it. But American liberals love to hear that kind of
vacant rhetoric. As long as the words "Change, Hope, Children, and
Together" are mentioned in the same sound bite, it's a winner. Oh, and it
helps to mention "Health care". Just mention it, that's all. You can watch
liberals choke up and you can see them swallow hand as they listen to it.

Yep. They gobble it up allright. Like turds on a duck pond.

But the crap Hillary and McCain are throwing out is no better.

Here's a great line: If Obama gets the nomination the democrats will
finally be able to run someone who will make Jimmy Carter look
competent.

Obama has great potential.

he's a way better communicator than Hillary (let alone Carter).

he's even a better communicator than Ronald Raygun.

but if Hillary is actually taken out of the running, the media will
abandon him in two seconds flat. and the sheep will follow.

that gives the presidency to McCain's VP.

We've already got stagflation.

Would Obama make George W. Bush look competent?

Jesus H. Christ on a Crutch. It's not like Republicans don't have
similar catch-words.

There's only one candidate who didn't vote for the war. Everything
else is noise.
