Choice?

I've been somewhat avoiding this issue because I've had so many other issues that the republican party was perpetrating that consumed my time and this particular issue just got left behind. I want to talk about WOMENS Issues. I visited this site that was called "Women For John McCain." That site was either satire in it's highest form or it was staffed by some of the most deluded women I have never encountered.

From time to time I have gone back to this site, still trying to figure out if it is for real, real. Well today I got my answer. When I noted their new petition:



I was appalled until I read the fine print on the bottom and found out what they were really asking women to sign:

In the Senate and House, the “Abortion on Demand” Act will overturn the ban on partial birth abortion and go further than Roe v. Wade to enshrine abortion on demand into law. Introduced as the innocent sounding Freedom of Choice Act, this act would:

  1. Overturn the ban on the gruesome partial-birth abortion procedure
  2. Overturn laws that restrict taxpayer funding of abortions.
  3. Nullify all pro-life laws on the federal and state level.
  4. Force doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other health-care providers to perform and pay for abortions – even if they are morally opposed to abortion.
  5. Insist that insurance companies pay for abortions
And what further cemented the deal for me was when I tried to capture a few pictures from the site and this is all I got, over and over again:


It is now confirmed to me that the site is extreme satire and these people go way over the top. A sample of their tactics is as follows:
“It will fall to the next president to nominate hundreds of qualified men and women to the federal courts, and the choices we make will reach far into the future.” - John McCain

John McCain has worked closely with the national press to gain his “maverick” reputation - and that’s why women are choosing John McCain! On the complicated issues of womens’ rights and reproductive choices, we need a strong man with years, and years, and years of experience in the halls of Washington to think and speak for us - and that man is John McCain. With John’s record on choice, he’s uniquely qualified to make our most personal, private choices for us as President.

“I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned.” (all emphasis is added from the article)

But the jokes do not stop there. I clicked on one of the topics called Betty Cracker and this is what I got:

The REAL Presumptuous Nominee

Remember how your so-called liberal media snickered at Obama for coming up with a faux presidential seal and presuming to speak to foreigners and meet with heads of state in Europe? Just who the hell does that guy think he is, anyway?

Meanwhile, McCain is pulling an Alexander Haig-like power-grab in the middle of an international crisis, and no one seems to notice. Yesterday McCain bragged to a campaign crowd about expressing solidarity during his daily conversations with Georgian President Saakashvili, who replied:

“Yesterday, I heard Sen. McCain say, ‘We are all Georgians now,’” Saakashvili said on CNN’s American Morning. “Well, very nice, you know, very cheering for us to hear that, but OK, it’s time to pass from this. From words to deeds.”
The real presumptuous nominee is not only inserting himself into the Russia – Georgia conflict: He’s dispatching twin butt-gerbils Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman to that country as a delegation. WTF? Perhaps they’ll be accompanied by McCain’s foreign policy advisor / Georgia lobbyist Randy Scheunemann, who was paid big bucks to lobby McCain on behalf of the Georgian government before the campaign got underway. Client relations, you know.

Here’s another interesting tidbit via the Talking Points Memo:

President Saakashvili today told Georgians that the US military was moving in to take over control of the country's air and seaports -- which would be a pretty big deal since much of the country still appears to be an active war zone.

And about five minutes later the Pentagon said he didn't know what he was talking about.

"We are not looking to, nor do we need to, take control of any air or seaports to conduct this mission," said Geoff Morrell, Pentagon press secretary. "The role of the U.S. military is strictly to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the victims of this conflict."


John McCain says he's talking to Saakashvili every day. What's he telling him? Is he confusing the situation?


That’s a good goddamned question. If McCain is engaged in freelance foreign policy shenanigans that are confusing a head of state in a potentially very dangerous context, isn’t that worth looking into? Someone needs to get Britney or Paris to Tbilisi NOW so the media will start paying attention.


I nearly fell on the floor after reading that one. But the bottom line is that I firmly believe this site is fine and more women should check it out. Yes, they are over the top and yes if you did not know it was satire some of the things they say would really piss a person off; but, they seem to be one of the good guys. Take a chance, check out the site and after investigating and finding out they are for women (not McCain) join and help Choice and me to make sure McCain does not make it to the White House.

This is Obama's struggle:



This is the reality of McSame winning the White House:
