This might sound silly, but it seems to be working.
Whenever I'm talking to people and the election comes up and it's a situation in which I feel I can do this*, I use the words "McCain" and "douche" in close proximity. I've expanded out to "douchetastic," as well.

I don't straight up say "God, he's a douche" unless my opinion on him is directly asked. I just associate the word McCain with douche a lot.

I like to keep my "memes" simple and to the point. McCain = douche. Douche = McCain. End of story. It seems to be effective, a couple of people I talk to regularly who are pretty apolotical have started strongly agreeing with me on the McCain = douche thing. Tomorrow I'm making sure they're registered to vote.

That's it. Keep it simple. Why don't I want him to be president? I've already HAD a douchebag for a president for eight years! I'm douched out, man!

If he can make sure even the most remote villages in Siberia know he WAS A POW!!!! I can make sure everyone around me knows what a huge douche he is.






*I leave out this strategy at church, but they're all in-favor-of-gays-settlin'-down libruls anyway. They already know he's a douche.

1. YOU ARE RIGHT!
It doesn't matter where I go.. if the topic of politics comes up, and someone mentions the words, "McCain" or "Palin" the next words are, something along the lines of WTF is that?? lol

2. I also very innocently pretend I don't know how to pronounce
"Palin" and then I "remember" because "it rhymes with failin', that's right!"

4. Be very dismissive.
Someone even says "McCain...." and you flip your hand in the air and mutter "what a douche."

6. My sister had a 'wedding Reception ' pool party this summer.
My husband wore his OBAMA shirt under an open Hawaiian print cotton shirt to the party. Near the end of the day a woman said,'So you have decided who to vote for early.' My husband took a breath and replied,'Well, I'm not going to vote for a doddering old fool!' The woman was speechless. Go Obama!

10. I'm a southerner...we have license to insult...politely.
Here's how it works: "Sarah Palin? No I didn't listen to her speech. Her voice is just so annoying it works my last nerve, bless her heart." You can say almost anything about anyone as long as you add "bless her heart".

I also like to point out her annoying voice whenever possible. It's the power of suggestion. Her voice IS annoying and people will notice it the next time they hear it.
