McCain Talks Of His Imaginary Friend Obama

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

John McCain, who is running for President against himself and all he stands for, held a Town Hall meeting on ultra-liberal media outlet Fox News yesterday and challenged imaginary friend Barack Obama to a duel:

“I think this town hall meeting would have been a little more interesting if Senator Obama had accepted my request,” McCain said to applause. 

To confused applause, that is, as most of the audience, if they are supporting someone as crazy as John McCain, probably have never heard of a man named Senator Obama... 

Meanwhile, the mysterious and publicity-shy Barack Obama has taken up a nefarious habit, one which will down him in anti-tobacco strongholds like New York and California, where John McCain will now surely win.

Another setback came in the form of Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, who will refuse a VP slot, even if it's forced upon him. Can McCain win Ohio now, too? Damn, this could be a landslide....

Obama can't keep his word on smoking, so how can we trust him to run the country?  Other than that he's a total phoney baloney gasbag.

Is John McCain a better Presidential choice who requested yesterday that people who disagree with him on the issue of health care should "please go to England and Canada"?  Who wants four more years of intolerance?
