GOP Voters Will Save Gas on Election Day

Scrappleface proves once again the parody can come dangerously close to truth:

(2008-05-13) — A day after Republican presidential candidate John McCain unveiled his cap-and-trade plan to defeat the imminent threat of global warming, a coalition of conservative voters announced it would enthusiastically support his proposal by refusing to burn fossil fuels on November 4, 2008.

“We’re eager to live out Sen. McCain’s conservative vision for the earth,” said the group’s unnamed spokesman, “by keeping millions of Republican-owned SUVs and pickup trucks in their garages on election day.”

The coalition said the symbolic move would not only “cut carbon emissions by thousands of tons,” but it would also “put a president in the White House with John McCain’s views on the global warming issue.”

As an fitting follow-up to the Scrappleface post, I got this in my email just now:

Good thing barf is biodegradable and "eco-friendly" because that's what McCain's globaloney makes me want to do.
