It's down to Palin-Biden folks

Today's Inquest
Debate
College Humor's President Palin

There was nary a "YES!" McCain moment  last night, but a few verged.

MCCAIN: Well -- well, let me give you an example of what Senator Obama finds objectionable, the business tax.

Right now, the United States of American business pays the second-highest business taxes in the world, 35 percent. Ireland pays 11 percent.

Now, if you're a business person, and you can locate any place in the world, then, obviously, if you go to the country where it's 11 percent tax versus 35 percent, you're going to be able to create jobs, increase your business, make more investment, et cetera.


There were several "YOU STUPID MFCSMF" moments when Obama was responding.   Here was one ...

OBAMA:  Just one last point I want to make, since Senator McCain talked about providing a $5,000 health credit. Now, what he doesn't tell you is that he intends to, for the first time in history, tax health benefits.

So you may end up getting a $5,000 tax credit. Here's the only problem: Your employer now has to pay taxes on the health care that you're getting from your employer. And if you end up losing your health care from your employer, you've got to go out on the open market and try to buy it.


What a great concept! Didn't we do that once?  Everyone  going to the markets for their health care would mean competition, and lower cost. A concept utterly lost on Obamanation.  And how many of Obama's statements were entirely devoid of falsehood?  Maybe the eight times he said "Well, Senator McCain is absolutely right.

But that's not what I was gonna talk about.  This is.

The left have been using the prospect of McCain dying in office as a scare tactic (my graphic is a screen cap from this College Humor home movie).  First, guess whose mother was alive and attended her son's nomination ceremony?  Hint: It wasn't Obama's. Second.   That sort of reasoning only serves to make this a Palin-Obama race, and puts a huge emphasis on the Palin-Biden  vice-presidential debate.  Not what Democrats want, I'll assure you.

I know you're kidding the same way I have, but no doubt about it. To put it gently, the specter of "President Palin" is all rainbow colored.

But if I'm unwilling, as I am, to gloat about Ted Kennedy's immediate future::, I sure as hell am not going to wish for it. I think we're lucky. The worst candidate could field is George Washington next to the Democrat's best. USA!

Alas, I believe in karma, so I can't bring myself to wish or hope or pray that McCain gets elected and then croaks and leaves Sarah in charge, but I confess to thinking that would be the best thing for America.

There. I said it, G-d forgive me.

Say Three Hail Mary's and a good Act of Contrition and you're absolved. (Did you know I'm ordained?)

The only thing he's done right in the last 7 years is pick a running mate.

Many consider McCain keeling over and making Palin the president a very good outcome. Not that I'd wish for anything like that, of course... but hey, he's had a good run....

My personal fantasy is that the judge messes up and switches the oaths of office. Whoops! Sorry, no do-overs!

AWM: only in a Common Law nut's dreams.

If the oath is given incorrectly, you just take it again.

Once the official has taken the prescribed oath correctly, he is done with it.
