A candidate who is the son of an Admiral, owns nine mansions, wears $550 shoes, hosts "Saturday Night Live", and shares a $150 million fortune with his trophy wife is a humble, authentic, salt-of-the-Earth crusader who understands the struggles of average Americans.
A candidate who has a father from Kenya and was raised by a single mother from Kansas is an arrogant, elitist, uppity snob who couldn’t possibly understand the struggles of average Americans.
The last thing America needs is a President of the United States that the rest of the world views as intelligent, honest and inspiring. We’d rather have Europeans burning American flags than waving them.
Republican policies that have failed America since 1968 will suddenly start working on January 20, 2009.
The best way to honor wounded troops is to show up at their military hospital and hold a campaign rally. Doing anything else proves that you hate American troops.
The way to prove you’re running a high-minded campaign is to compare your opponent to Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Moses.
Celebrities should never be considered for political office, unless their names are Ronald Reagan, Fred Thompson, Sonny Bono or Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The candidate with the superior street cred on matters of national security is the one who thought the Iraq War was a great idea.
The ultimate measure of one’s patriotism has nothing to do with what’s in your mind or heart – only what’s in your jewelry box.
In an environment where the President and Vice President are from Big Oil, are funded by Big Oil, give Big Oil huge tax breaks, ensure Big Oil makes the largest profits in American history, and unleash endless war in the Middle East. . . the person to blame for record-high gas prices is the junior Senator from Illinois.
Anyone who attends a church is responsible for every word ever uttered within the church. If something is uttered in the church that you don’t necessarily like or agree with, the only acceptable course of action is to burn the church to the ground – otherwise, you agree with (and are equally responsible for) what was said.
Drilling for more oil – as opposed to developing clean, renewable sources of energy – is better for our economy, our environment, and our national security.
Corporations are always honest, moral entities that would never do anything that wasn’t in the best interests of the consumer.
Noting that you’re a unique Presidential candidate is "playing the race card from the bottom of the deck."
Iraq and Pakistan share a border.
In a nation where the economy is the number-one issue, it’s harmless to elect a President who has all but admitted that he knows nothing about economics.
In the 21st century, it’s harmless to elect a President who just learned to get on the Internet.
Having your airplane shot down automatically qualifies you to be President of the United States. Anyone who doesn’t agree with that is "attacking the military service" of the person who was shot down.
Drinking orange juice and being lousy at bowling should disqualify someone from becoming President.
Dumping your former wife after she was in a horrific car accident and offering up your current wife as eye candy at a biker rally should not disqualify someone from becoming President.
If one candidate lies and the other candidate tells the truth, then both candidates are "slinging mud."
Jokes about killing Iranians are funny, especially if they come in the form of Beach Boys lyrics.
Czechoslovakia is still a country.
The media has a liberal bias.
