Admit it: the country would be a lot better off with four more years of Bush/Cheney than four years
of McCain/Palin.

Bush/Cheney would give us their special blend of incompetency, stupidity, hubris, contempt, corruption, and evil. But they're very predictable. We know exactly what they'll try to do.

McCain/Palin would be a hair-raising rollercoaster ride of What the Fuck is This Nut Going to Try Next? As a senator, McCain could run around pretending he's still Johnny Actionhero, yucking it up telling dirty jokes with the press, but unable to do a whole lot of damage as just one senator. But a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants president, always desperate to prove he can still get it up, could have us soon wishing for the relative stability of the Bush/Cheney years, when we only lost two towers and 3,000 civilians, thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, a drowned city, our middle class, our international reputation, and our Constitution.

Obama simply must win this election. And he will (by at least one hundred electoral votes).

2. Wow. That's really saying something, isn't it? I mean, have we absolutely no standards anymore?.
I'll admit, I was afraid more of us would end up in Gitmo be for B*shco left Washington.

3. That's like asking me if I'd rather face execution by guillotine or firing squad
neither prospect is very appealing.

6. You're right.
I never thought we could have a worse president than "W", until recently.

If McCain somehow manages to win, these will be the "good old days."

7. I think it's a choice of Satan or Beelzebub
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 10:39 PM by TheDonkey
either is an intoxicating mix of ignorance, hate, and incapability.

8. Today, I told my mom that McCain/Palin makes Bush/Cheney look like a million dollar lottery ticket..
I know this is crazy, but I honestly think that Bush has more talent in his left pinkie toe than the McCain/Palin ticket. And that's saying something. lol

9. What? You better see a doctor or an exorcist--something is wrong with your fingers.
If this was the Bible, someone would be pulling out their eyes or fingers, hair. Someone needs to help you find your lost marbles.

Just kidding, but please....we don't type like that here.

10. 100% accurate
Bush/Cheney at least have some kind of game plan and have competent but evil people around them.

McCain/Palin gives you everything fucked up with BushCo. but without the knowledge, processing power, and competence. BushCo. APPEARS incompetent because they don't give a shit about the people but they are at least good at executing their mad schemes and destruction of the government.

12. So, it’s a choice between evil people who are competent enough
to push through their warped agenda,

OR

evil people who are probably too incompetent to push through their warped agenda?

Who to choose? Decisions, decisions :freak:

11. Yup. Cheney's evil, but at least he's an evil genius. McC/Palin are just...bad.
