It’s McCain/Bush, stupids! Get your heads in the game!

Good, God!

Just how much do Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton want to give the White House to McCain/Bush/Hagee? It’s almost as though they are
climbing over each other to tear down what once was an easy hit.

It’s not even just the candidates and the media. The backers of the
two candidates are sniping at each other (at the same time they are
sniping at the news media for the “horse race” coverage, which they are
eating up).

Look, you knotheads! Think of this as an audition. BOTH of you and
all of your disciples turn the circular firing squad around and try a
few shots at the enemy.

In case you don’t know, and from all appearances you don’t, you are
looking at a bloody road to a convention that already is set to
implode. Not only are you going to have a fight inside the convention
hall in Denver, you are going to have hordes of people outside calling
for your heads.

How about you two actually DO something? How about turning around
some of this FISA crap? How about calling McCain/Bush on getting in bed
with John Hagee?

Did you happen to notice the frigging unemployment numbers, thanks to the McCain/Bush policies? Want to talk about that?

Nope. You want to talk about nasty remarks one of the minions made
in Scotland (for Christ sake) or tax returns. Or, you want to enpower a
drug addict megabigot and sit around and whine about cross voting.

Have either one of you knotheads asked your driver what the price of
gas is? Here’s one that stumped Poppy Bush. What’s the price of milk?
Do you know (or care) that it is skyrocketing. Want to give McCain/Bush
a pass on that? Fine. Go ahead.

Don’t whine about horse race coverage when all you are doing is
stupid horseplay that is handing the election to the same people who
have been stripping of our rights.

Rights? Remember them? Well, let’s hear about it, for Pete’s sake.

OK, back to your mudfights. All of you.

At first, I thought we were going to relive 1968 with the peaceniks.
demonstrations, a pasty platform and the evil Richard Nixon. Now, it is
looking more and more like 1972 and George McGovern. I want to welcome
all of you new activists to the Democratic Party. Looks as though
you’ll cut your teeth on the same kind of successes I did when I
started.

There’s another, less known saying of Will Rogers, and it’s never been more true.

You’ve got to be optimist to be a Democrat, and you’ve got to be a humorist to stay one.
