McCain's Lost a Vote
I tried to send this message to Senator McCain's campaign through his website. However, like his social policy, his website is broken. Here's what I tried to send:
I was appalled to learn that Senator McCain had announced his endorsement of the proposed constitutional ban on gay marriage in California.
Please inform the Senator that his actions have cost him my vote and ensured that I will do what I can to help Senator Obama win in Virginia (where I live).
The idea that we should use constitutions as political weapons against a group of people to motivate another group of people to get out to vote is wrong on so many levels that I can't even begin to list my reasons or this would be a much longer message. Having seen just such an event here in Virginia and seen the damage it does, I could never support a political candidate that seeks to turn a group of people who have done nothing wrong, other than be born different than the majority, into second class citizens.
I hope Senator McCain will come to his senses and change his position. Please note that there is a lot of room between supporting gay marriage and supporting constitutional marriage bans. I'm not asking him to move all the way.
With great disappointment,
Linda Thomas
Here's what his website said:
We're sorry. There appears to have been an error with your request. Please try again or if the problem continues, please contact us.
The "contact us" was a link back to the contact page where I had just tried to send a message. I guess McCain's more interested in talking than listening. It's only July and he's managed to totally alienate me. For someone who doesn't have the words "George" or "Bush" in his name, that's pretty bad.

McBush: drug pushers are OK, homosexuals are not
Oh, come on! In McBush's world, most cases of emphysema and lung cancer and a large percentage of heart attacks and strokes are caused by homosexuals, not tobacco.
Did you know that McBush has turned against FDA regulation of tobacco after he was for it? Check out:

Did you know that McBush's senior adviser (Charlie Black) is a glorified drug pusher? (Oops, I mean Phillip Morris lobbyist.) Check out:

Rest assured that Charlie Black had absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with McBush's change of heart on FDA regulation of the tobacco industry or tobacco taxes. Forget all about the nonsense that tobacco is the only legal product that kills such a large percentage of users even when used as directed. Those 400 thousand fatalities per year are caused by homosexuals. Rest assured also that the analysts on CNBC are trying to help you make money, not unload shaky assets at premium prices to gullible people.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT tell anyone in Utah about Joe Camel's efforts to help McBush protect America, uphold moral values, and preserve the sanctity of life. That would spoil everything.
