A semi-recap.

Now that the election is over, I want to recap some random thoughts from the election.

Here are some things I am glad we (shouldn't) will not be hearing any more:
"You betcha."
"Say it ain't so, Joe."
"Hockey Mom."
"Joe Six Pack"
"First Dude"
"Socialist"
"Palling around with terrorists."
"Bill Ayers"
"Reverend Wright"
"Maverick"
"Gamechanger"
"Skilled politician"
"Joe the Plumber"

The funniest thing said by John McCain, at least in my opinion, was during his interview with NBC's Brian Williams when Williams asked him about his thoughts on being down ten-percent in the polls. McCain said, "We've got them right where we want them."

Feel free to suggest or add any phrases I left out.

Getting back to the "socialist" label...Rush Limbaugh was all over Rush today, claiming Barack is socialist and playing the race card again, saying that Barack made a deal to the voters by saying that if you vote for him (because he's black), he will do you a favor (tax cut). That kind of talk isn't needed today but has come to represent the views of so many who voted for McCain.

Struke, you made me laugh with this post. I hadn't realized there were so many of those catch phrases and words from this campaign until you listed them. I have to say I am glad to not have to hear them anymore! Thanks for the laugh! :D
