For Some Gays McCain Is The Right Choice (For President... Of The United States... Of America)

A few days ago I was shocked to see that a CNN poll was showing that 11% of Germans thought McCain would make a better president than Obama. Although the poll has been updated to show that it is actually only 6% of Germans, it still boggles the mind that after the thorough denazification Germany went through, there are even 6% thinking McCain would be suitable as leader of something beyond a highway trash pick-up crew. (And in Italy fully 15% think McCain's the one!)

Even more shocking than what Germans and Italians think, is what a new Harris Poll shows about gay and lesbian Americans. 14% of LGBT voters claim they plan to vote for McCain! Are there that many sad, pathetic self-loathing gays out there? Or is this just the racism talkin'? Now the Greed and Selfishness Republicans-- led by sick, dangerous and hypocritical closet queens like Mitch McConnell, Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Patrick McHenry, Troy King, David Dreier and, most of all, Lindsey Graham-- are understandable. It's all about the money. But that's not 14% of Americans. That's not 4% of Americans.

The Mad Professah summed it up elegantly this afternoon:

This is a man who doesn't even know what the acronym LGBT stands for.

He also doesn't really believe in gay adoption, supports a ban on gays in the military, is worried if his clothing looks too gay, isn't sure if condoms stop the spread of HIV, thinks same-sex marriage ceremonies are okay as long as they're just pretend, and has promised right-wing religious groups that he'll start speaking out more vocally against LGBT causes.

Any gay person who votes for McCain should have his or her membership card revoked.
