John McCain was on Ellen Degeneres' show and she brought up the subject of gay marriage. Dun dun dun! Ellen started by saying that she wanted to address " the elephant in the room." I was expecting Mike Huckabee to come out with glazed donuts and GWB to follow behind with a coffee jug. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.
No big surprise that ol' Johnny doesn't believe in gay marriage. Duh he has to play to his base. Ellen used the opportunity to voice her opinion, "I think that it is looked at and some people are saying the same that blacks and women did not have the right to vote. Women just got the right to vote in 1920. Blacks didn't have the right to vote till 1870. It just feels like there's this old way of thinking (that) we are not all the same. We are all the same people. All of us. You're no different than I am. Our love is the same." Ellen is right. We are all the same people. I know many blacks hate when there are comparisons to the struggles of black and gays, but in my opinion, we all have discrimination in common. And I don't think anyone who is oppressed (or has experienced oppression should discriminate against others).
Ellen went on to say, " It sounds to me like saying well you can sit there (points in one direction), you just can't sit there (points in another direction). That's what it sounds like to me. It doesn't feel inclusive. It feels isolated. It feels like we aren't owed the same things and the same wording." DUH! You think these powerful white men want anyone who isn't like them sitting at their table in the lunchroom? Oh hell no!
John responded, "I've heard you articulate that position in a very eloquent fashion. We just have a disagreement and I, along with many, many others wish you every happiness." Whatever grandpa. People who make snide reads like that you just wanna slap the shit out of them. I know I do.
Ellen finished with a joke, "Thank you. So you'll walk me down the aisle? Is that what you said?"
McCain doesn't believe in gay marriage and I don't believe in old people running for president. Someone get this prick some Medamucil!
