McCain

Well, since I am on a political kind of roll, I might as well keep it going.

So you say you're voting for John McCain, because you just can't bring yourself to vote for a black guy with big ears and a funny name? "Well, he's a Muslim, he's too Liberal, his wife is too mouthy...blah, blah, blah." Let's step into the world of reality, and out of the world of shallowness for a moment, shall we? If you're a female, consider these few (but not all, by far) points about John McCain:

He has consistently voted against women's issues. In fact, he has a received a "zero" rating from Planned Parenthood. http://www.womenforbarackobama.com/McCain.html You can read it for yourself.

He wants to overturn Roe v Wade, and will have the power to appoint Supreme Court Justices who will do so. While abortion is a horrible thing, it is still a woman's right to decide.

He makes jokes about rape, one of the most horrible and degrading things that can happen to a woman (or man).

He calls his wife a c*nt in front of reporters. (I would kick his teeth down his throat).

During his time in a Vietnamese prison camp, his first wife was seriously injured in a car wreck. She was disfigured, and walked with a limp...upon returning to the US, he left his wife for a girl 18 years younger than him, who was a beer heiress with a lot of money, whom he married one month after his divorce was final.

He doesn't think birth control should be covered by your insurance (if you're lucky enough to afford it), but by all means it should cover Viagra (how else can he keep a woman 18 years his junior satisfied?).

His wife stole medications from her non-profit relief organization, and managed to avoid jail time (how fortunate for her).

His wife's company, one of the largest Annheiser Busch distributors in the US, regularly lobbies against Mother's Against Drunk Driving.

Can you say Keating Five scandal? Look it up if you want to know what it is.

These are just small glitches in McCain's "armour." Seriously, how could you vote for this man?
