$2 Button For Sad, Ashamed McCain Voters

Nothing says “Ha ha, enjoy your black president next year” like this “I WILL HOLD MY NOSE WHEN I VOTE FOR MCCAIN” button sold on a Republican trinket website. There are many other sad and unintentionally hilarious gewgaws for sale at RepublicanMarket.com, but this is the only known example of wingnuts paying two dollars for the privilege of announcing in public that they are repulsed by their only 2008 presidential candidate.

    …where is the “I will give up UTERUS when I vote for McCain” buttons?

  2. ronaldpagan says at 8:17 pm, June 17th, 2008

    Ha ha! Black is the new president, bitch!

  3. AngryBlakGuy says at 8:17 pm, June 17th, 2008

    …damn it miss the “my”

  4. Brutus Harlot says at 8:18 pm, June 17th, 2008

    “I will hold my nose when my grandson is drafted.”

    “I will hold my nose when my daugher is brought to the hospital hemorrhaging after a back alley abortion”

    “I will hold my nose when McCain shits on our Constitution.”

  5. ronaldpagan says at 8:19 pm, June 17th, 2008

    This is the exact same shit that doomed John Kerry. Remember all the merchandise that was like, “Kerry: at least he’s not Bush”, and things like that? Poor Walnuts probably already realizes he’s lost.

  6. AngryBlakGuy says at 8:22 pm, June 17th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: …he realized that on Monday when Barry pulled ahead in every demographic accept white men!

  7. ManchuCandidate says at 8:23 pm, June 17th, 2008

    “I will pay $20 bucks to a swarthy black man to blow me after I vote for McCain”

  8. Ken Layne says at 8:25 pm, June 17th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: Right, like those “I loved Dean but maybe Kerry could win?” bumper stickers. Inspirational!

  9. wheelie says at 8:25 pm, June 17th, 2008

    Another alternative to holding your nose: stick it up in the air. That is what we Elitists do. Let us lift our noses!

    I will hold my nose when the sale on truck nutz ends.

  11. ronaldpagan says at 8:28 pm, June 17th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Oh come on! I’m sure McCain was also leading among bitters, “Hillary Is 44 bloggers”, gun-clingers, angry white pastors, yokels, sister-fuckers, West Virginians, senile white feminists, Kentuckians, sons of the soil, Joe Lieberman, Geraldine Ferraro, and other terms for “racists.”

  12. Brutus Harlot says at 8:30 pm, June 17th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: And that’s why we need to introduce the white men to Bob Barr.

  13. El Bombastico says at 8:36 pm, June 17th, 2008

    This is extremely insulting to John McCain. Insofar as he cannot hold his nose, since his arms do not raise above his shoulders. I would expect more sensitivity.

  14. El Bombastico says at 8:37 pm, June 17th, 2008

    Hey, I wonder why McCain is all of a sudden polling 40 points behind in the Latino vote?

    “Thanks for not aborting me, mom and dad!”

    And the smiley looks like it has serious fetal alcohol syndrome. (The design also comes in bib form.)

  24. El Bombastico says at 8:55 pm, June 17th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: YES! I was thinking the exact same thing. The mother is clearly a born-again meth addict. Also that it looked like one of Senator Brownback’s non-aborted fetuses.

  25. iwillsavethispatient says at 8:56 pm, June 17th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: Isn’t it a bit of a tautology, surely Republicans of every gender like men?

  26. andersoncooperihardlyknowher says at 8:57 pm, June 17th, 2008
  27. ronaldpagan says at 8:59 pm, June 17th, 2008

    andersoncooperihardlyknowher: Jinx. Imagine the irony of some 90-pound mulletted toddler running around unsupervised with two days worth of feces in his sweatpants, a giant bag of Barbecue Doritos in one hand, and daddy’s loaded rifle in the other, wearing the “My parents chose life!” shirt.

  28. ronaldpagan says at 9:02 pm, June 17th, 2008

    andersoncooperihardlyknowher: Hah! I am really tempted to go on a Republikitsch buying spree, but I know these assholes would just spend my money on meth and hookers.

  29. wheelie says at 9:07 pm, June 17th, 2008

    McCain has set himself up for disaster already by touting the Old Republican Approach of Mocking Big Government and saying how it is So Terrible. That’s all he got intellectually.

    Old old old.
    McCain comes off “old” because he peddles so many old ideas.

  30. andersoncooperihardlyknowher says at 9:08 pm, June 17th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: ha totally…*male* hookers, of course

    The funniest part on that link is the bit about stopping Hillary’s coronation. Remember when that was going to happen?

  32. Brutus Harlot says at 9:10 pm, June 17th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: I think it’s saying Republican women are lesbians. Republican woman are like men.

  33. confusionanddelay< says at 9:10 pm, June 17th, 2008

    I can only hope that they hold their noses, turn blue, and die. Preferably before pressing the ‘vote’ button.

  34. junkscience says at 9:10 pm, June 17th, 2008

    Some of those bumperstickers are just plain mean. It’s great.

    Brutus Harlot: I’ve been trying for months to get my daughter to parse the name of the band “Boys Like Girls” for the same reason. Is the work like a verb or not?

    I prefer to assume that the repub button has a companion button that finishes the thought. “Republican Women/Like Men”…Have huge veiny hands/And penises”.

  37. junkscience says at 9:19 pm, June 17th, 2008

    My gay ass just got hate-crimed by looking at those ties.

  38. eatsshootsleaves says at 9:36 pm, June 17th, 2008

    “Vote McCain: At least he’s White.”
    “Vote McCain: Everything Republicans loved about Bush, minus the likability.”
    “Vote McCain: Because I fear change.”
    “Vote McCain: Because he’s probably going to fall off a stage at some point and that will be totally hilarious.”

  39. shortsshortsshorts says at 9:42 pm, June 17th, 2008

    eatsshootsleaves: “VOTE MCCAIN:

    He is kind of a combination of a Couple of Presidents who did not suck that bad. Did we mention he is not Muslim?”

    A little long but it might work.

  40. shortsshortsshorts says at 9:47 pm, June 17th, 2008

    junkscience: It’s like Rep platform now-

    Things aren’t great for the campaign?
    “BRING IN MORE FUCKING FLAGS.”

  41. AudicityofHope says at 9:48 pm, June 17th, 2008

    McCain voters will be holding their nose because of the rotten putrid smell of death that will permeate through the ballot due to WALNUTS! name being on it.

    BTW, on “Verdict!” Kinky Friedman just brought up Hitler and his use of synthetic fuels in WWII while talking about global warming and McDrillbit’s recent flipflop. All the split screen panelists, including Dan, were speechless.

    Vote McCain: The undead have rights too!

  48. Anita Cocktail says at 10:07 pm, June 17th, 2008

    How about a button that says “If my husband called me a cunt, he’d have to get my foot surgically removed from his ass.”

    Probably too long for a button, eh?

  49. AudicityofHope says at 10:12 pm, June 17th, 2008

    Harriet Christian’s button: “I will remain bitter, but will cast my vote with glee against that inadequate black male Barack HUSSEIN Osama when I vote for McCain”

  50. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:14 pm, June 17th, 2008

    AudicityofHope: Harriet would keep it simple if she had a brain:

    “I am a failure of a human.”

  51. AudicityofHope says at 10:19 pm, June 17th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: or: “I’m an inadequate racist white female.”

  52. evolutionista says at 10:23 pm, June 17th, 2008

    how about one that says:

    i will stab myself in the eye with scissors while i vote for john mccain.

    i will whip myself bloody after i vote for john mccain.

    i will vomit on the ballot when i vote for john mccain.

    i will hold my breath until i turn blue, passout, wake up, vote for mccain, eat a cookie, get in my hummer, drive home, watch dancing with the stars, read me some people magazine, wait - what were we talking about?

  53. DoctorCulturae says at 10:24 pm, June 17th, 2008

  59. ronaldpagan says at 10:46 pm, June 17th, 2008

    andersoncooperihardlyknowher: Of COURSE.

    Vote McCain: he used to be pretty.

    Beef Supreme: Whoa, WEIRD. I hate easy Democratic bumper sticker slogans as much as anyone, but at least they don’t have any buttons saying “Proud to be a Racist.”

  60. ronaldpagan says at 10:47 pm, June 17th, 2008

    Cicada: I know. Why don’t we get shot-glasses saying “Thanks, Mom and Dad, for aborting me!”

  61. Cicada says at 10:54 pm, June 17th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: Or how about a bumpersticker saying “I won’t vote for Whitey”.

  65. RuperttheBear says at 11:08 pm, June 17th, 2008

    The back of the button says “Because I fart when I vote.”

He does Sudoku puzzles and he’s a brilliant DIY type, by the way. Anyway, before I woke up, a campaign button flashed onto the screen and I thought “that’s cool.” It said “Our 1st Black President.

    McCain, Lieberman, Graham - Redux. February 2003 they wrote this Sense of the Senate Resolution, Sub-itled “France and Germany -What the Fuck Do They Know”, where they went on to thank those others who “stood in solidarity with the US” because if they don’t it is a threat to world peace”.

    “[T]he United States
    [has] presented compelling evidence to the United Nations Security
    Council detailing Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction programs, its
    active efforts to deceive U.N. inspectors, and its links to
    international terrorism”.. “..a clear and present danger.”

    Not like Bush, McCain says? McCain, Lieberman and Graham helped write and push the damn thing- they’re three times as WORSE THAN BUSH.

    And Harry Reid gave Lieberman back his positions…
