The McCain girls are back with a new video. You may remember them from “It’s rainin’ McCain” which I showed on March 24th. There are a lot of mean and hurtful comments on both of these video’s and I wanted to voice my support for these ladies. Sure they may not conform to America’s narrow and unrealistic preconception of “beauty” like Obama Girl. They may not have Leah Koffman’s singing ability. But they have every right to sing their songs without suffering mean spirited personal attacks about their appearance.
Besides, if John McCain could raise more than the paltry 15 million a month he would probably attract beautiful and talented women too. As it is I think the McCain Girls are doing great and should keep at it. It takes real skill and courage to pull off this kind of brilliant satire. Stephen Colbert has to be jealous. Thanks for the laughs and I look forward to the next song.

Update: I got an email from a reader that this video wasn’t working. Well I checked and it appears that “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by The MCPS – PRS Alliance Ltd.”. Thats too bad because it was hilarious. ~ William 4/9/08
I have to go with Obama on this one too.
I also think that supporting a holiday, especially with a proposal for a windfall profit tax on the oil industry is a politically smart move by Clinton. She’s nothing if not shrewd. However, I view this as just part of the continuing move to defund government, which is part of the problem with why “our government can’t do anything right” conservative philosophy.
I am almost with you on the issue of church and state.No one should force their relegious beliefs upon others via legislation.However,legislation regardless of how it originates is generally nothing more than the written will of some of the population being impossed upon others.All legislation starts with nothing more than personal belief,or collective belief.Relegious people often believe the legal ststem should reflect their relegious beliefs.Atheist are no different,they believe legislation should reflect their belief that there is no God. If we are going to have goverment by the people for the people, and if those people are relegious then we are going to have to accept the influence of relegion upon goverment.I am not so sure that I want a goverment that is totaly structured by the beliefs of atheists ! Many atheists seem to believe that man is god,therefore the state can and should be all powerfull.This of course is bad for human dignity and freedom,which is what we are concerned with of course ?
