The Republicans’ Leaky Asses
To have any chance of winning this election, John McCain is going to have to prove he is different from his predecessor GWB. Amazingly, McCain has stayed relatively close in polls (8 points is relatively good when the president has a 28% approval rating). Interestingly, Republicans have long considered themselves champions family values and morals, like not allowing gays to marry or be in the military, and putting the country through expensive impeachment hearings for a blow job. It is a sad world we live in where denying a group rights is moral triumph for many, whether that group presently be homosexuals, or non-whites in the past.
Moral relativism is one thing when religion is involved. To a certain extent, the republicans are correct; homosexuality is by no means condoned in the bible, and depending on how you interpret certain passages, you could even see why racism might be biblically justifiable. Obviously, both homophobia and racism are wrong, but when you believe in an invisible man in the sky, logic is often not part of the equation. But I digress.
Anyways, the big moral issue that John McCain is following right in Bush’s footsteps on is leaking. No, not the plumbing type, and I know what you’re thinking, you were hoping for some Republican plumber asscrack in this post. Sorry. Rather, McCain recently revealed that his opponent, Barack Obama, would be in Iraq in the coming days. Shockingly, this could be a problem. From Reuters:
“If it is true that Obama is going to Iraq this weekend, it is a very serious mistake for McCain to have disclosed it publically. Even for run-of-the-mill CODELs the military gives guidance like, “Please strongly discourage Congressional offices from issuing press releases prior to their trips which mention their intent to travel to the AOR and/or the dates of that travel or their scheduled meetings. Such releases are a serious compromise to OPSEC.” If Obama is going to Iraq this weekend, I can not begin to imagine how much this is complicating the security planning for the trip.”
So now the terrorists know he’s coming. While McCain may have thought Obama would be eager to hook up with his old friends, most sane people and Hillary Clinton recognize that Obama has a giant bull’s eye on his head right now, and Iraq is full of one-eyed bulls.
This has to bring up the memories of the Valerie Plame scandal, in which Bush or someone in his administration released the name of a CIA agent to the press. This tends to blow one’s cover when it is reported in the New York Times, so Plame had to quit her job out of fear for her life.
Perhaps someone should check into Republicans putting American’s lives in danger for political purposes. It seems like it might be a worse getting a blow job.

The biggest thing McCain has in his favor is the drawn out battle between Obama and Clinton. As those two hacked each other to pieces, the Democratic party was further and further divided. I don’t know if Humpty Dumpty can be put back together again by November.
God is not an “invisible man in the sky.” Jesus Christ, as God incarnate, walked the earth for 3 1/2 years. Colossians 1 describes him as the “image of the invisible God.”
Good science tells us there can be no effect without cause. Do you still want to talk about logic?
Ah use the bible as evidence for your claim. Are you aware the majority new testament was written 90 years after the life of Jesus? The bible is a fictional political document, and any claims otherwise are easily disproven. You can believe in a higher power all you want, but the Bible’s version of it is nearly absurd and transparent in it’s attempts to control people
