Holy Crap John McCain Works for the Dark Side

Of all things unholy the presidential candidate representing small government, low taxes, and individual liberty is a moral nemesis from the homebrewer's perspective. Totally unacceptable from any beer lover's perspective; from any lover of truth itself.

John McCain not only has many ties to Anheuser-Busch. Not only does his wife serve as the chairwoman of the board. Not only is his son the CEO. He once held one of the two earthly positions most loathed by every conscientious proponent of truth in advertising aware of real beer.

CHIEF PUBLICIST!

This man made a living attempting to deceive us in the most sinister way imaginable. He shamelessly perpetuated a lie so vile, so disturbing, so absolutely nefarious, that all who appreciate beer recoil in horror at its mention; that Budweiser is actually beer.

The other position loathed equally as much; the equivalent employee over at Miller (whoever that is).

I need not explain my case for lovers of the art of brewing. But for those who are unaware of the deception...

Bud isn't beer. Much like Valentines Day, it is an invention of a huge corporation. It is a cheap fermented beverage produced in an ethanol plant at almost no cost. It is a discount delivery system for booze with no flavor, no passion, no spirit.

The inspiration for its production is an unquenchable thirst for money using any deceptive tactic imaginable no matter how fallacious or irresponsible.

The proposition that a political campaign requires little more than a billion dollars, talking frogs, and a super bowl commercial is disturbing, but it puts things into perspective. Maybe this is just another reminder that American politics is limited to perception with little regard for intellectual depth, philosophical integrity, flavor.

Mr. McCain has obviously succeeded in his ability to convince the mindless droves that Budweiser is the only beer worthy of consumption despite the thousands of wonderful alternatives.

Perhaps the Republicans know what they are doing after all.
