There were probably some really scintillating attack ads about Barack Obama’s other rumored vice presidential candidates ready to launch, but alas, they’ll never see the light of day. Instead, after Saturday brought word that Obama had chosen Joe Biden, John McCain’s advertising swat team quickly unveiled its first spot aimed at the Delaware Democrat.

“Damn”  I say it every day at 5:00 just before I get up and go to work.

Biden wanted to be come prez and still does.  I don’t hold anything against him in his verbage against his competitors.

Ron Paul came close to endorsing Obama’s foreign policy objectives amongst all democratic candidates.

Hey, McCain!
Guess what?
Biden’s running against you!

We all know what politics is… entertainment on the go. Until it’s went.

A Poetical Reflection on the American Political Circus

Whoever lives for banners, drums and glory
Is dead; this dervish understands this story,
And calls it windy noise-winds vainly flap
The banners, hollowly the brave drums tap.
Don’t gallop on the horse of vanity!
Don’t pride yourself on your false nobility

They skin the leopard for his splendid pelt;
What’s good a leader when the led have slept!
