Hey People Did You Know John McCain Is Still Pro Life?

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Even John McCain is shocked to learn this.A lot of people think John McCain supports abortion rights and other things many ladies care about, even though he doesn’t support these things. One of those confused people is McCain’s potential lady running-mate Carly Fiorina. On Monday, she said, “There are many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra but won’t cover birth control medication. Those women would like a choice.” But of course John McCain voted twice against legislation that would require insurance companies to cover birth control.

Terrible Douchebags Launch New War On Birth Control

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

June 7 marks the 43rd anniversary of the best Supreme Court decision ever — even better than the “abortions for all!” one — of Griswold v.

Friday, December 28th, 2007

huckprogress.jpgPolitico reports this morning that Mike Huckabee accepted $52,000 in speaking fees from research centers that perform all kinds of anti-Jesusery, like embryonic stem cell research and birth control. Now that’s an outrage! I thought he was only supposed to speak to those with whom he agreed. It’s almost like, if he became president, he’d allow citizens who use birth control to be part of the country! [Politico]

Democrat Cuts Spending, Republicans Object

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

See, what I'm trying to say isThis is Democratic Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia. He would like to cut some spending that studies have shown is useless, see, to help shore up the state’s budget because $275,000 isn’t pocket change.
