I haven’t looked at Cousin Oliver’s cavalcade of stupid (as per Ace-o-Spades policy, no link. It’s http://www.oliverwillis.com if you must) for quite a while, so I forced the browser to go there against its better judgement. To answer the question “is Ollie still saving his limited brainpower for marriage?” The answer: “oh my yes”.
I just have to show you The 10 things you need to know about John McCain.
Senator McCain did indeed oppose the MLK holday 20+ years ago. On racist grounds? not so much. The argument was that there were already too many paid holidays. Not a great argument in 2008, maybe better in 1987 I don’t know. He has since changed his position and wholeheartedly embraces the holiday. What was Senator Obama doing in 1987? Joining Reverend Wright’s church. Maybe this isn’t such a good point Ollie…1. John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has “evolved,” yet he’s continued to oppose key civil rights laws.
Umm.. good point Ollie, sounds like a winner to me.2. According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain “will make Cheney look like Gandhi.”
If Senator McCain, of all people, cannot be trusted to make good and moral decisions regarding torture then nobody in the world can. Nice of Ollie to point out yet another good point for the Senator. Very sporting.3. His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.
PERFECT!4. McCain opposes a woman’s right to choose. He said, “I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned.”
Could he mean the SCHIP bill for poor folks making under 100k? Do you really want to remind the folks of that Ollie?5. The Children’s Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children’s health care bill last year, then defended Bush’s veto of the bill.
Ollie is the ever-happy class warrior. Let’s not mention Senator Obama’s “fantastic” year.6. He’s one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a “second job” and skip their vacations.
What advice would you give those facing foreclosure? “Real” people get 2nd jobs and don’t take vacations when they are in financial trouble. I for one will not be going to DisneyLand this year because of the house I just bought. I suppose Ollie would suggest that the Government should send me some money for that trip because “its only fair”.
Who said this? I wonder if by “One Republican senator” he means “The MSM”.7. Many of McCain’s fellow Republican senators say he’s too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: “The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He’s erratic. He’s hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me.”
This from someone who supports Senator “I don’t take money from Big Oil”.8. McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.
Reverend Wright. Nuff said.9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his “spiritual guide,” Rod Parsley, believes America’s founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a “false religion.” McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God’s punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church “the Antichrist” and a “false cult.”
And yes, Ollie can’t count either because it ends right there.
Honestly, if you call him a schmuck, it would be an insult to schmucks everywhere.
