A little political note:

[urbpan]

This president we have, with the lowest approval rating in the history of approval ratings, is a member of the Republican Party.  Everything that he has done to earn the disrespect of 3/4 of the American people is known as "The Republican Platform."  As much as it seems like we vote for a personality to be president, we're actually choosing which party we want to have the disproportionate power of the executive branch.  If you believe that President Bush is doing a bad job, as 225 million Americans seem to believe, then voting for the Republican ticket--NO MATTER WHO is on it--makes no sense.

Once again for simplicity's sake: We have a Republican president, if you want "change," DO NOT vote for a Republican candidate.

I don't know why this is confusing.

EDITED TO ADD: my point as seen as a comic strip

Oh, but McCain is a different kind of Republican.

He's a Maverick. Definitely not in line with his own party.

And he spent 5 years as a POW.

And did I mention he's a Maverick, dontcha know?

I am floored by the McCain campaign's attempt to spin Obama's critiques of Bush as "living in the past." Anytime during the debate that Biden mentioned Bush and how McCain is similar, Palin accused him of looking backward! Are you kidding me?!

yeah, they've been doing that for a long time as a way to weasel out of any kind of culpability. "Oh, don't point fingers! It's time to look ahead and not backward!" (but hey, you just broke the law, just there...) "Oh, let's not play the blame game, let's forge ahead!!"

But OMG, McCain is hooking us up with a chick! And she's a hockey mom who wrestles bars nekkid in her spare time! And she's hot! You must hate women if you won't vote for her as VP!

*Doesn't do as good of a job as she'd like to think she does.

Yes.

I've been flailing and wringing my hands and getting heartburn and agita . . . I'm pooped out. Why didn't I just say THIS instead? :-)
