Harnessing the power of the Internet, Stephen Colbert challenged his viewers to place the usually drab John McCain into more lively circumstances by using the latest Christ-created green screen technology.

C’mon, sheeple, let’s ask better questions:  WHO had video cameras pointed at the Twin Towers on the morning of 9/11, waiting to catch video of the opening salvo of the ‘surprise’ attack, just so that George W. Bush could watch it on TV that morning (as he’s twice admitted he did; and the DoD, via a FOIA request, says he could have)?

(note:  the only known video of the 1st WTC impact was shot to tape, and not available for Bush to have seen that morning.  No civilian networks had any footage of the 1st WTC impact until after midnight—CNN has always had it on their web site dated 9/12...)

When McCain declines to uphold his oath of office by failing to question Bush’s repeated, public, voluntary confession statements, that seems to merely prove that Republicans put party loyalty ahead of the Constitition (big surprise, eh?).

But when elected Democrats also decline to uphold their oath of office by refusing to question Bush’s voluntary admissions of treason—he TOLD us he was effectively in the loop—well, that betrays the long-standing fraudulent nature of the entire duopolistic U.S. political system.

IOW, taking sides in Republican-Democrat “battles” is like fanatically rooting for one professional wrestler over another.  Staged/fake/phony opposition fools most of the people most of the time...

oh if you let him in the door of the White House, i predict that he will be very very exciting.

If there’s one thing we can expect from President McCain, it’s excitement.

The only thing that would make McCain exciting would be if he, in his confused and contradictory statements, said he was resigning from the campaign trail. Make sure it is captured on live video and aired in excess on TV, the Internet and any other available ways of informing the public so they are aware of it.

Then make him resign-no allowing for him to deny he said it or that he misspoke. After all isn’t he “The Straight Talk Express?” Let’s hold him to it.

McCain couldn’t be exciting if he caught on fire and leapt off the stage.
