Yeah!! We need steady leadership and 26 years of experienced steady deregulation policies to right this ship in the storm of Global Economic uncertainty.
To the Locker!

Who's with me?!

McCain's forecast for the economy under his administration includes me needing a tiller.

Either he means I will need to grow my own food, or set sail for a more prosperous land.

Either way, I don't want him touching my tiller.

No, please explain (without googling it).

And I think you mean "You've never heard of a tiller".

OK, I googled it and can't believe it. Who uses the word "tiller" in a sentence?

The "steadiest hand for the tiller"? Does McCain think these are the 1684 elections?

There are two types...one that we used back in the country up in the hills of Ohio where I grew up. It is a machine with metal tines in the front that tills up the dirt so we can plant our gardens. This was back in the day before I became a rich evil white corporate President of my own company. Actually, I was white back then, just not rich, evil, or President of my own company. But we grew our own food, and I proudly boasted the largest tomatoes in Gallia County at one point. My father told me no one would buy my hot peppers that I grew, but I put em' brown paper lunch sacks and sold them for $1 per bag, and sold every last one. But alas, that was the days before I actually had my own companies (yes I own 2), and created jobs, and was responsible for employees, and paid taxes. Yes, I sure do miss the good ol' days for sure. That was a beautiful simple life, and I shoulda just stayed up in those hills and let ol' Obama take care of me and my family instead of looking after myself so much, cause now he's gonna take it all away with taxes anyways. *Sigh*

But like ol' Hank said, A country boy can survive. And I will too, it's my employees I'm more worried about.

Nevertheless, The other is the type that is used to steer a boat with. If you turn it right, the boat goes left, and vice versa.

Explanation sufficient?

An Obama support not knowing what a tiller is is no big deal.

McCain supporters not know what a good candidate is IS a big deal.
