Now, Barack Obama is a Democrat - and that is terrible. But John "Snakes in the Brain" McCain has spent months, especially the last few weeks, encouraging the few talk radio-lobotomized cattle still left in the Republican Party to believe that the Dems decided this time around to nominate for President an Arab, Muslim, Terrorist, Enemy of the People of America (I guess that's still better than Hillary), and that the DNC's treasonous coup can only be averted by supporting his former...
