Political Hate-Slogans Explained! (At least to myself)

I was on the MetroRapid 754 from USC to Wilshire/Vermont and I was bored, so I automatically started inventing puns. All that came to mind were puns in the style of those hateful political slogans and mockery-names you see around election time ("NObama" and "The Goreinch Who Stole the Election", for example). The few I can remember are, "Between Barack and a hard place", "McPain 2008: ImPalin America", "O-blah-ma", "McCain and Able, 2008", "Go-bomb-a yourself", "Parah Sailin'." These are bad, even just as puns, but as I often feel when a pun pops up in my mind there is a certain satisfaction in the sensation of its creation, and it's likely the people who actually come up with such slogans may just invent them for the sheer pleasure of invention rather than to contribute to the general din of rally noise.

Anyway, as it turns out, a quick internet search shows that all these puns have been previously thought up, except the one about bombs which in truth is actually my worst. It just goes to show that someone out there really spends way too much time examining a candidate's name, teasing its sounds in the mouth a hundred times over and replacing every letter with another until these useless slogans become war-cries for a battle that everyone will have forgotten about within a couple of months. Perhaps I should find another way to entertain myself on the bus.
