McCain to Dave -- Yep, I Screwed You

31. #18. I totally agree about Dave. I have always thought he was hilarious. I guess some of these children that say he is not funny, are just used to way to many fart jokes to understand great comedy when they hear it.

33. Dave killed McCain! I was laughing my ass off. Too bad Obama can't use the same info to attack McCain because it would be politically unwise with him being the favorite and all:

Obama McCain
Electoral Vote 352.2 185.8
Win Percentage 94.7% 5.3%
Popular Vote 52.1% 46.3%

FiveThirtyEight.com is basically the go to place even over Real Clear since its author, Nate Silver is a math genius who developed PECOTA for baseball. He then went onto predicting electoral races using some of the same math principles:

"Reading the polls, most pundits predicted [Clinton would] win Indiana by five points and noted she’d narrowed the gap with Obama in North Carolina to just eight.

Silver, who was writing anonymously as “Poblano” and receiving about 800 visits a day, disagreed with this consensus. He’d broken the numbers down demographically and come up with a much less encouraging outcome for Clinton: a two-point squeaker in Indiana, and a seventeen-point drubbing in North Carolina. On the night of the primaries, Clinton took Indiana by one and lost North Carolina by fifteen. The national pundits were doubly shocked: one, because the results were so divergent from the polls, and two, because some guy named after a chili pepper had predicted the outcome better than anyone else."

34. President Obama wouldn't treat Dave like that. McCain is a good guy and will continue to serve his country well in the Senate.
There's gonna be so much for President Obama to fix in Washington. Our economy is in the tank, and our military is stretched. He will need guys like McCain to support him in the Senate, and it's good to know the guy has a sense of humor.

35. To all you kiddies out there:

Obama wants to take your hard earned money and "redistribute" it others......

Do you get it?
"Redistribute the wealth"

You graduate from college, maybe open your own business, work your azz off to make it successful.... Obama taxes the pizz out of it because it's your "patriotic duty" to GIVE TO OTHERS WHO DON'T WANT TO WORK AT ALL!!!

Capitalism: you work 70-80 hours a week, pay taxes, keep you wealth, be successful....
Socialism: you work 70-80 hours a week, obama takes your money and redistributes it to others who sit at home all day, laughing at YOU.

36. @35 "Obama who?"

That's bull. Obama's tax plan calls for cuts for 95% of Americans. Anyone making under $250,000 would not have their taxes increased. Anyone making under $200,000 would receive tax cuts.

38. It's sad that too many people in America, even Joe th Plumber, don't understand the tax system. Yesterday on good morning America Joe the Plumber had the truth explained to him. He now understands that under President Obamas tax plan he would in fact get a tax break.
This is why it's so important for the countries educated to mobilize and go to places throughout Ohio and Penn, to help the average American understand the practicle aspects of the different policies.
McCains tax plan is more of the same, and much the reason our economy is in bad shape.

So, I work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, make" $250,001" Obama will Tax me MORE (PRETTY MUCH PUNISH ME) and "redistribute MY wealth" to others who work LESS, or maybe not even work at all.

40. "People like "Sally" #10 are just too idiotic for words. Unfortunately, there are many like her. Their opinions are ruled by emotions." Wow, A crazy moonbat, Liberal/Communist Obamacolyte who has no idea why they like "The One" other than he's black and assuages their white guilt, or if they are black are voting for him for primarily racist reasons, has the gall to say that McCain/Palin supporters are ruled by emotions! The only argument these liberal/Communists have is based on pure emotion.

41. Letterman hasn't been funny for 10 years now. Overpaid and over-rated!

42. John McCain has a great sense of humor! We need this man. Lived through torture, and he is still a happy, smart guy, a real American Hero.

For all of you who are looking for a pretty boy with silky words, Why not just put Brad Pitt on your ticket. The president should be chosen on their merits, integrity, and their experience of how they helped America. These are the areas your well groomed Harvard Pedigree Falls Short. His only history is failure of his program in Chicago and some Felons he has done business with. ACORN and the Fairness Doctrine, please google them now.

Don't be fooled by looks. I also would take Palin over Obama any day of the week. She fought corruption in Alaska, your darn right she questioned why a trooper who used a TASER on his 10 year old son (child abuse, abuse of power) was not fired. She may speak off the top of her head in eloquent form, no, she is one of us....half sentences and all. Only Palin has a track record of turning her State of Alaska into a better place to live, unlike Barack Husain's failed city program.

Posted at 11:22AM on Oct 17th 2008 by John McCain an American Hero, Battle scars and a sense of humor!

43. OPRAH WINFREY FOR VEEP!!!

45. I question Obama's patriotism.

I'll never question McCain's patriotism.

I question Obama's faith.

I'll never question McCain's faith.

That's just the beginning...
