- Maybe try the other guy’s bus
If you want to order a custom made outdoor banner (25 character limit) from McCain’s website store – price $250 – here are the limitations given: “Demeaning or derogatory names or phrases are not acceptable”, and “All personalized banners are subject to content approval by the John McCain 2008 campaign.” No other limitations are mentioned.
You can buy ready-made signs with “Veterans for McCain”, “Sportsmen for McCain”, “Asians & Pacific Americans” for McCain. And you can also get ready-made T-shirts with “Jewish Americans for McCain” or “Business Leaders for McCain”.
So when Craig Brownstein who is a Democrat, gay and a supporter of McCain’s campaign for president tried to get a sign made saying “A Proud Gay Democrat for John McCain”, he got a call from a site representative rejecting the text.
Brownstein says, “I was told it could only be personalized with names.” They would for instance, accept “Craig and Doug for John McCain”.
I somehow think if Brownstein had ordered “A Proud Democrat for John McCain” that the order would have had no problem being fulfilled.
I could have saved Brownstein the headache. He should have read my post that if you’re gay and vote for McCain, he’ll sell you down the river.

A gay Democrat for McCain is like a chicken supporting Col. Sanders…
actually, I take that back — a human being for McCain is like a chicken supporting Col. Sanders.

I have to agree with Loomis on this one. You can’t have an intelligence and vote for McCain. Even the old man in Loomis’s avatar is younger than McCain.

Hopefully Craig Brownstein woke up and realized McCain ain’t on his side.

sadly he probably did not, but i hope it serves as a wake up call to how welcoming the GOP is to LGBT repubs.

My gay friend, called me and said he was considering McCain, yet he didn’t even know McCain’s position on gay rights. He wants to get married and adopt a kid in the future. I told him that McCain doesn’t support gay adoption. After that he completely changed his mind and will vote for Obama, so I feel like I have done my civic duty. Hope more Gay Americans will see McCain for what he really is.

Thank you sensico. That was a great service you did for your friend. On this blog, I’ve tried to point out to gay people – especially the Log Cabin Republicans – that it is not in their best interest to vote McCain.
