McCain Camp Mulls Whom to Blame if He Wins
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace · 27 Comments

(2008-10-30) — While unnamed sources inside John McCain’s presidential campaign have reportedly decided to blame running mate Sarah Palin if the GOP ticket loses next week, a vigorous high-level debate rages on about whom to blame if Sen. McCain should defeat his Democrat rival.

“If McCain’s victorious, we’re really in a jam,” said one anonymous campaign strategist. “We don’t yet have a contingency plan for that. There’s bound to be a lot of finger-pointing, but in the highly-unlikely event that McCain-Palin wins, the media will demand answers and someone’s got to take the fall.”

“A McCain-Palin triumph would undermine the foundations of a political process established on push polling and professional image management,” the source said. “It would present the ominous specter that average Americans can do whatever they please in the privacy of the voting booth.”

Gov. Palin was not available for comment, according to a top McCain aide, having “gone rogue” for the afternoon.

Why is this funny? Because, like all good humor, there has to be a grain of truth in there.

McCain will be peeved if he wins . . . after all, his actions over the past two months do suggest he's trying to throw the election.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

thanks Hank, I was thinking no one would comment.

I'd blame it on Sarah Palin.

Uhhhhhhhh.....Fistful....Doh !!!

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
