<<You want snake oil, the Republicans have the snake oil, as well as the oil their biggest supporters will try to keep us addicted to.>>
The best example of snake oil in years came out of the Saddleback debate:
Pastor Rick: What will you do about evil?
McCain: I will defeat it.
Hopefully McCain will go with that as his campaign slogan: "Vote for me, I'll defeat evil."
To be fair, there's snake oil being sold by the other side as well, most notably Obama's "explanation" of how he'd pay for all the grandiose programs he was promising - - by going through the budget line-by-line and eliminating all the wasteful expenditures. Sorry, I think Obama's MUCH the better candidate, in every way, but THAT, my friends, was pure snake oil.
