My first endorsement!

I'm beginning to garner the support of the sock monkey community. Stan, the playboy sock monkey, and sock Satan have thrown their full support behind my campaign. I'm sure that others in the sock community will soon follow suit.

But, you know, it takes more than a few endorsements to win an election. It takes money. While McCain spouts lies about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (aren't those two of the Bobbsey Twins?) giving heaps of financial support to Obama, the truth is that McCain has received more contributions from the directors, officers and lobbyists for Mac and Mae. Honestly, if McCain would just use the internet, maybe he wouldn't get caught in so many lies.

Did you know he was a POW?

But let's get back to the ISSUES. I think we can all agree that the economy is in big, huge, honkin' trouble. We can also agree that health care is an important issue. So what does McCain think? He thinks health care should be deregulated just like the banking industry. This was reported in an actuarial magazine, so you know it's true.

In an earlier post, I said that it seems like McCain is exhibiting some of the symptoms of dementia. Here are the symptoms, according to WebMD, and how McCain stacks up:

• Having difficulty recalling recent events. [Check-can't remember from day-to-day where he stands on issues]
• Not recognizing familiar people and places. [Check-president and location of Spain]
• Having trouble finding the right words to express thoughts or name objects. [Check-every time he speaks]
• Having difficulty performing calculations. [Check-how many houses?]
• Having problems planning and carrying out tasks, such as balancing a checkbook, following a recipe, or writing a letter. [Check-campaign is floundering big time]
• Having trouble exercising judgment, such as knowing what to do in an emergency. [Check-Palin as VP, lies lies lies, and many others]
• Having difficulty controlling moods or behaviors. Depression is common, and agitation or aggression may occur. [Check-he recently was testy with some reports and accused one of taking a cheap shot]
• Not keeping up personal care such as grooming or bathing. [Check-he can't comb his own hair]

Ok, that last one isn't fair. But the others speak for themselves.

P.S. Thanks to Mark and Jenn for the Freddie Mac and healthcare info!
