Pinko Magazine Hedonism + Activism

A new poll finds that 28% of Hillary supporters and 19% of Obama supporters would vote for McCain in the general election if their candidate isn’t the nominee. Are you fucking kidding me? Has anyone read McCain’s fucking positions on the issues? My guess is no.

For some unknown reason people see John McCain as some kind of liberal maverick who is a hard sneeze away from being a total bra-burning commie pinko. I’m sure if he hadn’t been a POW, he probably would have been getting high with Arlo Guthrie at Alice’s Resturant, right? Hardly. The reality is that John McCain is a right wing hawk whose only liberal credentials are occasionally being a prick to fellow republicans (He’s always a prick!) and that he was once in a movie with boobies.

But “Wedding Crasher Republicans” beware! This man’s positions are far more right of center than his choice in acting jobs might indicate.

Here is a sampling of McCain’s positions. All of these quotes come from McCain’s official website:

John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench.

Do I have your attention? How about this gem on “Protecting Marriage” (i.e Protecting Straight People from the Horror that is Gay Marriage):

As president, John McCain would nominate judges who understand that the role of the Court is not to subvert the rights of the people by legislating from the bench.

Or this on McCain’s favorite topic, Killing Eveybody:

John McCain believes Syria and Iran have aided and abetted the violence in Iraq for too long. Syria has refused to crack down on Iraqi insurgents and foreign terrorists operating from within its territory. Iran has aided the most extreme and violent Shia militias, providing them with training, weapons, and technology… The United States must also bolster its regional military posture to make clear to Iran our determination to protect our forces in Iraq…

In summation, if you candidate doesn’t become the democratic nominee, don’t be an asshole. Be an adult and vote for Barack Obama a democrat.
