"Lipstick On a Pig" - Embrace It

[Oilwellian]

Let's face it. Lipstick on a pig is a classic American phrase. And there's just no better way to describe the McCain-Palin ticket. The 'Reformer' whose whole campaign and senate office is run by a crew of high-rolling DC lobbyists? The earmark slayer whose state this year got ten times more earmarks than any other state in the country? Whose city when she was mayor got twenty times as many? The whole operation is just one big bamboozling lie. And lipstick on a pig is just using good American English to explain it. If McCain and Palin don't like it they should have thought of that before they decided to run as frauds.

1. "Lipstick on a Pig" is brilliant. It resonates beautifully and it is

beginning to stick. McCain/Palin in a nutshell - Lipstick on a Pig.

3. Make 'Em Suck On It...

They opened this sty...now let's help them wallow in it. Let's talk pork...like Rick Davis, Phil (Bankruptcy) Gramm, Randy (Georgia on my mind) Shuenemann and my personal fave:



Vickie Iseman. And then there are all the Rove hacks who need a solid butt kicking as well. It took one hell of an over-play to get to this point, but here we are and ready to rumble. Let's put thse scumbags on defense...hammering with truth...their credibility is now totally shot...time to go in for the coup de grace.

Cheers...
