September 3, 2008 Is the pope a Catholic? Does a one-legged duck swim in circles? Will Americans vote for another moron? Ahhh…you’ve stumped me
This article in the Sydney Morning Herald tells us that Republican Presidential nominee John McCain was “stumped” by the tricksy question posed by a wily reporter in November 2007 of whether he *thought the use of contraceptives could help prevent the spread of H.I.V* – John McCain “You’ve stumped me”. Asked if he would support the distribution of condoms if he *knew* that they *would* stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, he replied, it is reported that he had *never got into those issues before*.
Well, don’t worry John – I’m sure this won’t come up as an issue at all when you’re LEADER OF THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!
I’m sorry, but I think if you are *stumped* by that question you have no business in politics. It’s no intellectual curve-ball dumbarse…it’s like do you believe in gravity? It’s a no brainer. Condoms. Save. Lives. Sex. Is. Normal. People. Will. Have. It. They shouldn’t die for that.

I don’t have a link for it but several months ago, John McCain was asked if he thought it was right that Medicaid covers Viagra but not contraceptive pills. He said he needed to think about it. Because, don’t you know, these issues are “womens’ problems” and he leave this stuff to Cindy. There aren’t that many women in America really.

Yeah, if you click on the link, this article talks about that (not that in depth, but it gets a mention). I wanted to write a longer post on that specific point (I mean clearly helping men maintain their erections is a crucial medical issue, whereas choosing if/when/how you have kids is frivolous tomfoolery) but I had to make it a quick hit as I was writing from work…
Gaaaarrrrrggggghhhh!!!
