These Aren't the Droids You're Looking For

This year it seems like since the entire country is fed up with the destruction the republicans wrought on this once greatest country in the world, the GOP seems to have gotten the idea that its best strategy is to run on the platform of:

"The last 8 years of Republican policies have been disastrous! Elect John McCain to throw the bums out and fix America!"

And if someone were to ask, "hey but wait, John and Sarah ARE Republicans, and in fact their ideologies align perfectly with all of these policies they now claim to be against."

And in response to such a a voter getting so "wise" to their ploy, they then try the Jedi mind trick and basically just say, "these aren't the Republicans you're thinking of. Move along."
