By now, we’ve all heard John McCain tout “Joe the Plumber” (an unlicensed plumber) as his poster child for the middle-class American, but what many Americans don’t know is that John McCain went through a lengthy selection process (even longer than the selection process for Sarah Palin) to find the right poster child to exploit.

Anybody who has tried to play the “family values” drinking game during televised McCain/Palin rallies has probably found themselves in a disappointing state of sobriety.

The GOP has recently ridiculed Colorado representative Mark Udall and his support of a “Department of Peace” through an ad in which a hippie decries this effort in front of a VW Microbus that, when the door is opened, billows thick clouds of grey smoke.
This shows the absurdity of the GOP’s values. They don’t mind [...]
