After the events of this past week it seems safe to assume that those who support John McCain would also vote for Mickey Mouse as long as the letter “R” followed the rodent’s name.

If the other candidate was Obama, you might be right!!!
A vote for me is a vote for George W. Bush and John McCain so be sure to get out and VOTE for ME!!
Almquist: If you list John McCain’s very long record and accomplishments and compare that to Obama’s limited and simplistic resume and you still think like you do, you apparently would vote for the droppings Mickey Mouse leaves under the tool shed.
Only a seriously irrational person would presume that a man with a zero record of accomplishments is THE dude to change the world. Writing your memoirs twice is not a qualification for President. Associating with a number of different radical assholes is not a qualification for President. Standing on a Chicago street corner, smoking pot, jacking and jiving with those that stroll by, “organizing the community,” is not a qualification for President. Becoming a Senator, doing nothing besides preening yourself and then spending the majority of the time running for President, is not a qualification for President.
If a lifelong paraplegic is rolled up to you in an artificial lung, and eloquently proclaims that he is the man to bet on in the upcoming Olympic 5000 meter marathon, you apparently would be the first one to grab your wallet and bet on him. After all, he said it well and that’s all that counts, right? Even Mickey Mouse isn’t that stupid. A reminder: The prescient never hide from obvious reality…but the deluded often do.
hey ct belza…I would have to agree with you…if I was a judgmental, self-rightous hypcrite, with a skewered view of the world…oh and a republican…but I am an american, who works 40 hrs a week, and still can’t make in this “Republican world” so I will vote for the “Dude of Change”
because the “wheel is broken”
Ever see Obama speak without a teleprompter or prepared speech? I’d take the mouse.
