Throwing Radical Conservatives Under the Bus, One Lie At A Time

I Swear…

…there’s a joke here about McCain “keeping it up”, but I just can’t bring myself to make it. :)

Roll Them Bones…

I usually feel that a candidate’s personal life is exactly that – personal. I only get concerned when private behavior indicates something troubling about a public servant’s abilities in the office they hold. McCain holding the highest office in the United States already sounds like a bad gamble to me, but this article just makes that worse:

A Sense of Humor…

…is something I greatly admire in people, whether they are running for political office or fixing my vehicle (thank you for that, guys; I had NO CLUE how to get that radiator out).

That said, there’s a time and place for some jokes. Everyone knows that…

…everyone except John McCain, apparently.

Always Two There Are…

I won’t make any bones about it. I do not like John McCain. He stands for things I despise and detests things I care about strongly. That said, I will never openly insult the man. He has done a lot for this nation and his service record is to be appreciated. I will give him his due.

The only reason I mention it is that McCain is now facing the most important decision of his campaign – the Vice President choice. If he chooses poorly, there will be TWO people on the Republican ticket I dislike…

In With The Funny!

I think that in all things, a little comedy is good to have.

In all seriousness though, please read the text that goes along with these images. There is nothing funny about some of the points being made.

Enjoy,
