This settles it
You Kool-aid drinking kids can have Pee Wee Obama:

The President of the US or a member of Pee Wee's Playhouse?
I’ll take Sarah “Biker Babe” Palin any day:

Hot chicks on hot bikes are...well...hot
One is a total dork. One is a total babe.
One is a socialist. One is a populist.
The choice keeps getting easier and easier.

UPDATE (Sept 12) — According to Peggy Noonan at The Wall Street Journal, this post has gone viral via e-mail around the Inter-tubes. You might have seen it in your email boxes with the subject title, “This settles it.”
My hit-counter (more than 3000 unique hits on just this post today) is spinning from the links — from places like Elephants in the Bluegrass and various message boards.




One is riding a bike the other is propped up against one like a piece of meet.
You don’t seriously want to believe she got on that bike after the photo was taken? In that skirt?
Jonny
[Editor --- Jonny, you've obviously never been to a biker rally if you think riding a motorcycle in a skirt (or less) is all that unusual.]
Looking cool
Too cool for school – get those shades!
Jonny
Anyhow, I’d be more concerned about what my goverment where actually doing in office rather than worrying about what they look like:
“US unemployment climbed to a near five-year high of 6.1% in August as non-farm payroll figures showed an eighth straight month of job shedding by US firms.
Job losses in August also came in higher than expected at 84,000 compared to a 60,000 job losses in July, a figure revised upwards from an initial 51,000.
Most of the job losses were among manufacturing firms though retailers also trimmed 20,000 jobs. Factory payrolls dropped 61,000 after decreasing 38,000 in July. Economists had forecast a drop of 35,000. The decline included a loss of 39,000 jobs in the car and related parts industries.”
Oh dear….. are you sure you don’t want a change?
Jonny
The person who posted this is obviously a very shallow thinker who is grasping for a symbolic way of bashing their opponent and making their candidate look “cool”. Does he think we are stupid? This election is about issues and who is best qualified to address them.
Even though most republicans (myself included) are having a lot of fun with this, everyone knows that a politician’s physical appearance is irrelevant.
No one is going to vote for McCain just because his VP candidate is pretty, any more than we would just because his VP candidate is a woman.
I am voting for McCain because his views are more in line with my own than Obama’s are.
And, while the Vice-President is obviously not as important as the President, another reason why I am voting for McCain is that Palin’s views are more in line with my own than Biden’s are.
Of course, that’s not news to anyone. All the left-wingers who are complaining about it (including Jonny and Elton Smith) already know this; they just want to complain about something.
Not complaining Colin, just saying I wouldn’t like to vote for a wildlife hating-pro-life-gun toting-right winger.
She’s Bush in stockings.
Jonny
George Bush that is…… ah, forget it.
Jonny
“She’s Bush in stockings.”
“George Bush that is…… ah, forget it.”
That made me laugh out loud, causing at least one co-worker to look up and wonder what I was doing.
He was probably thinking. “Colin’s surfing the Internet instead of working, again.”
BTW I would like to vote for a “wildlife hating-pro-life-gun toting-right winger”, because I am one, myself (I don’t actually hate wildlife, I just give it a lower priority than you probably do).
I’m engaged to a Beaver!
(and in a funny way, I am!)
Jonny
To me it comes down to this: Do we want country that’s more like Chicago or Detroit, or one that’s more like Alaska or Arizona.
The bike picture is kind of low blow, I ride both kinds of bikes, and when my kids were small like his I towed them in a trailer like he’s doing there.
My understanding is that HD is in fact her motorcycle and she does ride it, but I’m not 100% sure on that point.
But at least it’s a real picture of Obama, not a photoshop lie like the liberals have been churning out by the hundreds.
“US unemployment climbed to a near five-year high of 6.1% in August as non-farm payroll figures showed an eighth straight month of job shedding by US firms.”
The problem is that the ‘change’ Obama wants is to turn the clock back to the Carter Administration,. In those days the both unemployment and inflation were close to 15%. Single digit misery indexes were considered unachievable pipe dreams.
To me the photo says one is actually riding a non-polluting, inexpensive form of private transportation that provides one with lots of exercise and the other is standing next to a motorcycle.
He’s also obviously towing someone (probably his children) behind the bike rather than raising them so poorly they went off and got knocked up at 17.
Which brings up an interesting point. I’m nearly twenty-three now, and I was lucky. Even though I went to a private Christian school, the curriculum was rather secular and I received full, comprehensive sex education from 5th grade onwards, at school as well as home.
Palin’s advocation of abstinence-only sex education is pretty appalling, and oh-so-ironic given that her daughter is now pregnant. Were Palin’s daughter and her partner using condoms or any other form of birth control? We’ll never know, but I’m willing to bet not.
If Palin wants her children to suffer as the result of state-imposed ignorance, fine. But I don’t want her forcing her baloney, puritan, terrified ideas about what constitutes adequate sex education onto the rest of America.
The same goes for her advocacy of creationism being taught in public schools (although she’s backslid on that one now, apparently).
Photoshopped pictures of Obama? Never!
Here’s a photo of the future!
Yeah!
Jonny
To be fair, the republicans can’t be totally blamed for statistics such as home ownership and employment – it’s a global disaster as the moment.
They can be blamed however for what they are doing about it.
As far as I can see, nothing.
The ‘Labour’ party over here is making a mess out of things.
Darling gave us a reprieve on housing stamp duty for a year, but he announced he was going to look into things a month before he took the option. They are slowing the economy by not making action statements. They think the usual politician stance of, ‘Hey we’ll think about talking about something maybe next month’ doesn’t wash in todays economic nightmare.
Action is needed. Pure and simple.
Jonny
Back to the Dork vs Babe…
Obama needs to air up his back tire, and replace the missing reflector in the front wheel assembly. Certainly he has an “elite” bicycle mechanic on staff to tune his bike. Nice touch with the rubber band along the bottom of the jeans to keep it out of the chainring. Definitely Dork.
I bet Palin turns her own wrenches. Babe.
True. I can safely say I have never been to a biker rally. Got a cousin who owns a pub/bar where bikers meet but I’ve never been. I’m guessing the UK counterpart is somewhat different to the US?
I guess what I was saying is that a I would be surprised if VP candidate Palin was to mount that bike in that skirt.
Hell, if that’s the case, she gets my vote no fail!
Jonny
Back to your original post Robbie, I’ve caught you out!
Yes, I’ve had a look around the internet and have found the original photograph of Obama that you cleverly photoshopped.
HERE is the original!
What do you have to say for yourself?
Jonny
Here are some examples of the kind of BS photoshops the poo slingers of the left are manufacturing: http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/palin.asp
These aren’t jokes, they are lies.
Sorry Jim, but anyone with half a brain cell can see these are photoshopped. ‘IF’ you’re saying some liberals are doing this is the guise of pretending they are real then they’re bad on two counts; slanderously mocking another human being and more importantly, they have terrible photoshop skills!
I’d suggest you take these with a pinch of salt – like the majority of people viewing them.
Jonny
Sarahcuda!!!!
Pam, Heart has filed a cease and desist order, forbidding their song “barracuda” from being played as her campaign song.
I used to like the Wilson sisters, but not no’mo’.
Heart can go pound sand. The RNC had obtained and paid for all necessary license. Apparantly, their cease and desist letter contains no legal grounds beyond “we think republicans are icky.” Furthermore, the song writer and the lead guitarist have no objection to it being played and they acknowledge that the RNC can use the song whenever they want and publicly for non-profit operations. Heart, of course, is entitled to royalties and to STFU.
Good!
Then Heart should also STFD.
I know a picture is worth a thousand words, but this picture is worth the words of a thousand lying alleged journalist.
Biden lies about the truckdriver who hit his wife’s car.
He’s been going around for years saying the driver was drinking. However, the police determined that no alcohol was involved, he was not speeding, and his brakes worked. He was cleared of any wrong doing. It was Mrs. Biden who pulled out of an intersection without looking which caused the collision.
Oh, man! The internet is going nuts.
Trig strikes back!
Matthews/Olbermann removed from election coverage!
54-44 McCain lead!
That’s some interesting clippage, there, Anon. Where’s the linkage?
Here’s one you might find interesting, from an expat in the UK.
And from Melanie Philips.
Carefully listen to what B-HO says.
Couldn’t link it earlier because it was all teasers. Check Drudge.
Just saw the stories over at Gateway Pundit.
guess he forgot to take his own advice and inflate his tires.
no, these pictures say:
One is a real person.
The other is just an image of what they want us to see.
Palin’s real.
Obama is made by the corrupt Chicago political machine and George Soros.

Now you guys can get you’re hands on a Palin.
Jonny
These two photos sum it all up. Beautiful.
It amazes me how you people compare the PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
to the VP NOMINEE
Yall need to vote for him.
Im voting for the BARRACUDA
[...] Cycling [...]
Jonny et all your friends: Just took a quick look at when all this bad news really started FYI:
Unemployment rate begin of 2006 4.6% current rate 6.1%
CPI 2006 2.6% current 5.6%,
Guess what happened in 2006, the Dems took over Congress and things havegoneright into tha tank since. I BHO gets elected with the current congress in 2010 umemployment will be over 10% and the CPI will top 18% kinda like Jimmy Carter. You go figure bonehead!
You can say what you want about Palin’s beleif in “abstinence only” sex education, every time you use it, IT WORKS EVERY TIME!
So Jonny, if you’re a Brit why should we care what you think about American political candidates? For that matter why do you give a rat’s behind about American politics? You should be more concerned about the moonbats taking over your country.
Every choice gets easier, the less thought you put into it. Soon you will be truly brilliant.
I’m votin’ McCain/Palin. Not because of these pictures. But I do think they’re kinda fun.
Hell I was voting for McCain before, regardless. I don’t want a transnational socialist for a president.
But now I’m even more excited, because Palin’s more of a small-government conservative than McCain is. But at least McCain’s anti-pork and pro-constitutionalist judges.
Man, there’s always at least a little truth in the things that are the funniest.
What’s wrong with being a gun toting pro lifer. My family has always hunted and we eat what we kill. We can’t wait for dove and deer season to open. That unborn child also has rights from the time of conception. The mother can give it up at birth and never even see it and make some family very happy. We need to stick to the real issues and stop the mud slinging. The media is so biased. It is cruel what they are doing to this lady.
I never thought that I would vote for a woman for a high office Well!
Was I wrong. My prejudice is showing
It must have been another handsom fellow. I hve never written to you before
“The problem is that the ‘change’ Obama wants is to turn the clock back to the Carter Administration. ”
The administration to which Obama really wants to turn back the clock is not Carter’s but Lyndon B. Johnson’s, when a president with a complaisant Congress pushed through liberalized immigration, gun control, affirmative action, confiscatory taxes, etc. Under the Obamachine, we can expect “hate speech” legislation, cleverly disguised racial reparations and much else, all of it inimcal.
Hey, both candidates offer change as far as I’m concerned. The question is, what kind of change? More government or less government? Personally, I think we have the problems we have because government has kept growing and gotten bigger. The solution isn’t to change toward more government, it’s to change towrad less government. That’s why McCain/Palin offer a better change than Obama/Biden.
Yeah, it’s about issues. The issue is this: should the government decide how to spend YOUR money?
Obama wants to raise taxes, and increase the size of goverment. McCain does not.
What other issue matters?
Johnny,
You’re an idiot. This is called a recession. Its also called basic economics. The economy goes in cycles and George W. happened to be at a downturn. Obama has zero experience and just likes to talk. If he gave any real good ideas, I’d be open to listen.
PS Johnny,
You’re from Europe, that means that you’re a socialist that would have no comprehension of how a GREAT economy like that of the US runs.
Elton Smith,
You want to know who is more qualified to run our country? Not the dork. This is merely a comical bash at a loser. The Dems made fun of Bush for not being able to play basketball when Obama could. Same thing. Lets look at the issues. Palin: morals, gun rights and Jesus. Obama: kill babies and America sucks. Palin: experience. Obama: “community organizer.” That my friend is almost as big a joke as these pictures.
[...] An amusing contrast. From UrbanGrounds [...]
Awesome button with Obama on the bicycle and Palin on the motorcycle, click here
It’s hard to know what is correct on all the political information put out these days but the one thing I know is correct is that the Democrats are viscous and vindictive in their attacks against Sarah Palin. The proof is in when you actually see them make their horrible statements concerning Sarah Palin on TV. How they claim to be God fearing Church goers after the damming remarks they make is unbelievable. These remarks demonstrate actually how they damaged President Bush. They called President Bush the most horrific names any person could call another. They kept this name calling up for the 8 years he has been in office.
RAW
Anyone know of a good online bumper sticker company? I want one like this:
McCain / Palin
Pro-Life
Less Government
American Hero
That settles it for me
This needs to be distributed as widely as possible
:):)
Jonny is a typical Dem.
Can’t even spell “meat”; let alone eat it.
Don’t forget to take your seat off your trike before you go for your next ride.
[...] sono andato a cercare le foto di questa famosa email. Eccole: addthis_url = [...]
For you libs out there, have somebody read this to you. Doofus is demonstrating how we can avoid drilling for offshore oil, especially when he pumps up his rear tire. Or it is possible his limo ran out of gas.
And Sarah is posing for a picture.
I have a hard time getting behind either of these two for different reasons, but these photos, besides being kinda’ funny, also tap into something people really feel about the two of them.
I think part of Obama’s problem is that he is perceived as weak – maybe too weak to be Commander in Chief. To exacerbate this, Palin is now the second woman (after Hillary Clinton) to make him seem even weaker by comparison. Maybe even the third woman… after his own wife…
Poor baby.
Come on. What’s wrong with wearing a bike helmet? And does having legs qualify you for the presidency? This settles something? I really don’t think so.
Ha, this is funny. Some people just don’t understand irony. Bicycling shows independence (able to use own enerygy), leadership (not subject to peer pressure to drive just ‘cuz everyone else is), community values (quiet and clean), and good sense (economical, practical). Motorcycling shows many of the same things, except in this case. That’s a ridiculous noise machine, give me a Honda any day.
This is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. You, and other morons like you, are the reason this country is in trouble.
[Editor --- Sigh. Go put on your big girl britches, Franky. And lighten up. That you and your buddies don't realize that this is a tongue-in-cheek poke at Obama --- and not an actual factor in deciding on whom to vote, shows your complete lack of a sense of humor.
And that's the reason that your party is in trouble.]
Great post!
McCain / Palin = Honorable Hero & Reformer Babe
Obama / Biden = Con man & Clown
I like Calvin.
Where’s the pictures of Cynthia McKinney, Bob Barr or Ralph Nader?
Just because mainstream media pre-selects the two ‘electable’ parties, doesn’t mean bloggers need also ignore the other candidates.
How about a 5-way photo comparison?
And wasn’t Obama lecturing us about having our tires pumped up?
[...] course if you looked as much like dork as Obama does while wearing a helmet, I can see why he might not want to wear [...]
