You may have heard about this ad released by the McCain camp, in which a former Hillary Clinton supporter, Debra Barstovich, says that she is now supporting McCain.
Now, we already know how I feel about former Hillary supporters turning their allegiance to McCain, but there has been an interesting turn of events in this story…
The Republican party put together a little press conference yesterday with Barstovich, in which she was asked how she felt about McCain’s anti-abortion rights stance. Barstovich replied that McCain opposes overturning Roe v. Wade! I’m not kidding! Read the quote HERE!
Of course, we know quite well how John McCain feels about the right to choose - he has even said explicitly that he thinks Roe v. Wade should be overturned. It doesn’t get much plainer than that.
You’ll note that the McCain quote Barstovich referenced was from 1999; since then, McCain has changed his position on a myriad of issues, not the least of which being abortion rights. So it seems that these looney-tunes turning from Clinton to McCain may not just be crazy, but grossly under-informed as well.
I like how my fantasy-girlfriend Rachel Maddow summed up this situation last night on MSNBC: It’s post-rational. That is the perfect way to describe this mess. It is completely post-rational that Clinton supporters would give their votes to a man who stands on the opposite end of nearly every single issue that Hillary Clinton ran on. There is no logic in what they are doing. It is completely post-rational, and yet it continues!.................
