MoveOn.Org has released a new ad focusing on how to talk to your parents if you catch them thinking about voting for John McCain.
Look, it's understandable. You're out at a party with the guys you went to high school with. Maybe one of them is a mid-level executive. Maybe one of them is a pretty conservative religious dude. It's okay, everyone has friends of all types. And you know, they might start talking to you about John McCain, how good you'll feel if you vote for him, how cool Palin is, how fun and with it you'll seem, giggling at the lipstick/pig joke.
But I want you to know, that I love you. And I will always love you. And that the people who are your real friends will still be your friends if you don't vote for John McCain.
Now I know I may not seem "hep." I'm thirty years younger than you, my candidate doesn't wear red suits and Tina Fey glasses or get his supporters to yell pretty out-there, crazy, sexy things at his rallies. But I've been around the block a few times, and let me tell you: voting for John McCain is never the right choice. You have so much potential, why would you waste it on that stuff?
Mom, dad, please don't vote for John McCain. It's not going to be any better than that time you voted for GWB and thought you saw God eating brownies with purple elephants and then had to lie down for awhile and totally missed seeing Jerry Garcia's big encore. It won't be better the second time you try it.
Feel better? Come on, we'll go get you some ice cream.
Seriously, spread this around. This ad is a much more funny and light-hearted way to respond to unserious support for McCain than yelling.
