ready on day 1

John McCain last Monday:

I’d like to start out by giving you a little straight talk. (1)

Under the present set-up because we’ve (2) mortgaged your, our children’s futures, you will not have Social Security benefits that the present day retirees have unless we fix it (3).

Americans have got to understand that. Americans have got to understand that we are paying present-day retirees with the taxes paid by young workers in America today. (4) And that’s a disgrace. It’s an absolute disgrace and it’s got to be fixed. (5)

(1) Gag.

(2) "We’ve" as in John McCain, US Senator from Arizona, serving in Congress since 1983.

(3) He says this like a fix for Social Security would be more difficult than putting a man on the surface of the sun. If a fix is necessary it would be easy to do, just like it’s been done in the past.

(4) Yes, I understand how Social Security works John McCain. That’s how it’s always worked.

(5) Uhhh, a disgrace? WTF are you talking about? Are you stating that Social Security as a concept, one of the most successful federal programs in the history of the country,  is a disgrace or that the system of funding Social Security, the same funding mechanism that has always been used since the start of the program, is a disgrace?

John McCain, did you just discover how Social Security works?

This is what you need to solve that problem you were talking to me about at the track on Monday night.

It works fine.

Soler went out today.



Millar

I noticed that the most recent version of this VS. ad has replaced the end shots of David Millar with more shots of Vino.

I wonder if someone complained?

The first time I saw the ad I did not think that it made sense to use Millar. He served his time and the images they were using were post suspension.

Someone must have thought the same thing.



W ‘08!

Don’t give me any of this “Bush is not a conservative” bullshit, especially those of you who voted for him twice already. You know who you are.

Be honest, between Obama and Bush you would vote for Bush again. Between McCain and Bush you would still vote for Bush.

I mean, who cares that McCain voted with Bush 100% of the time in 2008 and agrees with every single policy of the Bush Administration? Why hold your nose and vote for someone you never liked in the first place?

Go there, sign up, keep “God’s President” in office another four years.
