The socialist metaphor
I started watching the second presidential debate this evening and after 5 minutes switched it off. Watching that debate was about as interesting as watching someone cut through a really really thick board with a really really dull hand saw. There are only 4 ways to a happy outcomes as I see it
- Barack Obama drops dead - then McCain wins
- John McCain drops dead - then Sarah Palin wins
- Both John McCain and Barack Obama drop dead- Everybody except O. & McCain wins
- Somebody catches me off guard and puts me out of my misery
I had to switch off at the point McCain suggested bailing out homeowners that were under water with their mortgages. Sorry but that’s crazy socialist talk. McCain can’t bust out of his Captain Queeg like mode of expression and B.O. is unable to break out of his leftist communist approach towards government. Its too irritating to see how McCain has blown it and will leave us at the mercy of the socialists for the sole purpose of gratifying his ego. He’s just not a strong candidate. He’s Bob Dole II and its annoying that republicans would nominate such a weak candidate. These are two truly non-great men. They will only do big things if circumstances forces it upon them.
The only consolation I have is that Palin will be back in 2012 and will beat the tar out of B.O. This campaign will give her practice and in the intervening 4 years she’ll have time to develop her own policies instead of the stuff McCain and crew put in her to say.
We should start the campaign November 4, 2008.
Disclaimer: I am by no means advocating violence. This is handwringing about the unpleasant process of being forced to choose between 2 senators for president. Its widely known senators make poor presidents. I now know why. Its the first time in my lifetime I have seen them run and its not a pretty sight. I know in reality violence solves nothing. It would not affect the electorates flawed critical thinking process one bit.

Ben Stein is definitely on my list of favorite Jews.
