These days I am getting free entertainment by watching snippets of 72 year John McCain talking on some TV channel or the other. His comments make me laugh and I am enjoying every bit of it. And, yeah, I also pity the Arizona Senator for his growing senility.
Let me tell you about the snippet that made me laugh a lot. McCain speaking on a TV channel on Sunday repeated in his 'hushed' voice "We must know the true relationship between Mr. Obama and Bill Ayers". As soon as I heard this sentence I burst out in laughter. Why?
Because Senator Obama met Ayers when he (Obama) was only 8 years old. And Mr. McCain wants to know the 'true' relationship between the two?!! Do you mean, McCain wants to know what was the true relationship between the two when Obama was just 8? The whole of US knows that Obama didn't meet Ayers until years later they both happened to be on the same Board . Incidentally, on this Board there were some strong pro-Republican folks also.
So, what makes me laugh is what 'relationship' detail is the 72 year senile McCain looking for ? You know, the straight face and seriousness with which he (McCain) asks such idiotic questions makes me feel more amused. The most bizarre aspect of this is that the Arizona Senator thinks in his mind as if he had just stated something brilliant.
I feel sorry for the depletion that has taken in McCain's mental faculties. As it is he was intellectually challenged (he was in the bottom 10 of his military training cohort), and now he is fast skidding on the slope to ultimate senility. I have already mentioned in one of my previous posts about his vacuous, dumb smile. If you visualize the two together - his foolish smile and his idiotic remarks - you can not but burst out in laughter.
Another remark that proves beyond any shade of doubt what a numskull McCain is. This one is about so-called 'distribution of wealth' alleged to be proposed by Senator Obama based on which McCain labels the Illinois Senator to be 'socialist'.
This again is another foolish comment because the 72 year old senator does not seem to have any idea as to what makes one socialist and what constitutes 'socialism'. It is very clear that as McCain finds himself trailing more and more, and as his running mate Palin publicly disagrees with him over and over on campaign strategies, the Republican presidential candidate is going further berserk - mentally.
So, if you want some relaxation after a day's hard work, simply watch the senile McCain trying to say something profound with utter seriousness. Don't try to look for any meaning in what he will be saying because there won't be any substance in them, just enjoy the inanity of his pronouncements and laugh.
By the way, comedy script writers the world over are taking a break because they are not having to exert much to create something funny, they are getting all the material free of cost courtesy 72 year intellectually challenged McCain. These people surely don't want Nov 4 to come soon!

"McCAIN EQUATES OBAMA WITH SOCIALISTS" - WHAT A FOOLISH STRATEGY!
One of the cable news reported that after grouping Obama with socialist European leaders in his weekly radio address on Saturday morning, at a rally later in the day McCain accused his opponent’s campaign of waging an “attack” on "Joe, the Plumber" and small businesses across America.
How confused McCain is! What is he trying to convey to his audience? How is Obama a 'socialist'? And, by the way, is any debate on socialism or capitalism relevant at this point in time when US is facing the worst economic turmoil since the Great Depression?
First, the day President Bush's administration decided to buy stakes in top 9 profit making Banks of US (Citi Group, Bank of America etc), it marked the end of so-called free market reign in US. Because, the buying of stakes in the banks is indeed partial nationalization of the said banks.
The above move of US administration came after the European nations of G-7 group had already implemented that strategy starting with Britain. In reality all these European nations have also partially nationalized their banks. But are these industrialised G-7 nations crying about socialism having entered their systems? No, they are not.
If partial nationalization smacks of socialism, then surely Mr. Bush has converted in to a 'socialist'! Mind you, he is an avowed Republican.
So, what is the sense in raking up 'socialist' word in the current context? Gordon Brown of Britain, Angela Merkel of Germany, Silvio Berlesconi of Italy, these leaders are not perturbed, even remotely, about 'socialism' supposedly creeping in. Because, socialism is not creeping in - either in Europe or US.
Then, what is McCain's plank of logic when he is using the 'socialist' word in an attempt to scare people away from Obama. And, therefore, where in God's name will there be any logic in trying to connect Obama with any past or present socialist leader of Europe? What will be its relevance? (Is there any socialist leader in Europe at present?)
This then begs the question: Does McCain know what is he talking about? The 72 year Senator doesn't seem to have any idea of how UK, and the G-7 European countries are trying to tackle the present economic crisis. How pathetic! This again goes to show the hopeless shallowness of McCain's knowledge about foreign affairs - an area in which he touts his 'deep' knowledge.
Now, the 'Joe, the Plumber' issue. By now every American knows that Joe is neither a plumber nor his annual income is more than $100,000. So, to cite Joe-the-Plumber case to build any argument regarding Obama's proposed tax strategy is utterly meaningless.
Moreover, how many small businesses make more than $250,000? Ans: Less than 1-2% of all small businesses. Therefore, Obama's proposal to tax people earning more than $250,000 is surely not going to impact the small businesses segment. Hence, it is clear that Mr. McCain has got it wrong here as well.
So, what is the conclusion? The conclusion is that the middle-class segment of USA is not going to be taxed more under Obama's tax plan. On the contrary the American voters need to remember is that Obama proposes to provide monetary help to the middle class segment.
So, how is Obama a socialist? And, how does his tax plan even remotely seem to sneak in socialism? Btw, is it a crime to provide relief to that segment of society which is in dire need of help, namely, the middle-class?
In all the Presidential debates not once did McCain mention the word 'middle-class'. He seems to be totally averse to providing help to this largest segment of American society. And he claims that he going to do good for the people at large, how sickening is that!!
One hopes the US voters will see through the charade of this Republican candidate and provide him a befitting reply by planting a footprint on his posterior on Nov 4.

DO McCAIN-PALIN THINK AMERICANS ARE DUMB?
I am getting worried about the tone and tenor of the campaign strategies currently being employed by McCain-Palin ticket. The Republican advert about Obama being associated with Bill Ayers, the robocalls, the FBI investigation in ACORN - all this is sickening!
First, let us take this Ayers thing...I have listened to the actual story as per which Obama purportedly met Ayers when the Illinois Senator was just 8 years old. In recent times Obama was on a Board which had Ayers also as a member. But the fact is that this Board had other members too who are known Republican supporters. So, are these pro-Republican people also so-called 'terrorists'?
Dave Letterman pointedly asked McCain during his show on Oct 16 about Arizona Senator's hobnobbing with a guy called Liddy who was a radical/terrorist element. McCain clearly got flustered and gave some utterly incoherent answers.
Anyway, the question is: if Obama is dangerous just because he sat on the same table with Ayers, then by the same token McCain is also a 'radical' and 'dangerous' person because he interacted with Liddy. In fact, McCain's association with Liddy is said to be far more closer than what Obama had with Ayers.
So, the thought comes to one's mind is: what do these Republican candidates take the American voters to be ? Do McCain-Palin think that American people will buy their distorted, twisted propaganda? Do they think that the American voters are so dumb that they will not be able to distinguish truth from blatant lies?
So, what should the American voters do? The American voters must think rationally and analyse each Republican commercial advert that they hear, each word that the Republican candidates utter in their rally speeches. If they do so, the people of America will come to the incontrovertible conclusion that both McCain and Palin are totally incompetent to be President and Vice-President, respectively.
Intellectually both McCain and Palin just don't have in them to hold the above mentioned positions. McCain fumbles on every topic, including foreign affairs, for which he claims to be highly knowledgeable. McCain doesn't even know which Muslim sect lives in Iran. There are so many other examples of his disgusting gaffes.
Worst of all, McCain has no understanding of economic issues either. His increasing age seems to be making his mental faculties slower, weaker by the day. His comprehension seems to be clearly handicapped by rapidly decreasing number of neurons of his brain. The result: he just reads out something from the paper placed in front of him, or blurts out something that he had memorised without understanding what the question was, or whether what he said made any sense.
If you watch closely McCain's conversation, you will notice that he often smiles abruptly. And, if you watch closely you will find that that smile is totally meaningless. The smile resembles typically that of an idiot, or a moron, or an imbecile. A vacuous, foolish smile.
One hopes that the American voters will make the correct judgement on Nov 4, and will give a resounding slap to McCain-Palin by voting against them in huge numbers.
One thing is for sure: this Republican ticket is probably the worst in American history. Therefore, they should be consigned to where they actually belong to - political trashcan!
