In a surprise announcement John McCain stated that he's running as a democrat for president in 2008. Today in a speech in Washington DC, he announced his party change. Only Arizona Newswire was there to cover it.
"I look at the party platforms, and I am closer to the democrats on major issues. I support the 2nd amendment right to hunt, but I also support for gun control. I think violent events such at Ultimate Fighting need to be banned. I destest these issue ads in campaigns that distort my record. I support going after tobacco companies. I support ending global warming. I oppose tax cuts. These are all democrat issues, so I have decided to finally join my good friend and war hero John Kerry in the party I agree with." McCain said to a large crowd of 50. He later continued, "How dare do the republicans question John Kerry's patriotism! It's time to take the patriotism card away from the republicans, the NRA, the Swift Boats, and the right wing wackos out there. This is why I have decided to run for President of the United States. This is why I am running as a Democrat, and if any of my opponents want to question my patriotism, bring it on!" to the eruption of the crowd.
The Republican Party could not be reached for comment.

Satire? Maybe, maybe not!
Loved the part about the "large crowd of 50". W-O-W.

"I support the 2nd amendment right to hunt, but I also support for gun control."
He must support the right to hunt for rich wives - without a gun of course - you use a wedding ring instead.

Nuh-uh. Madman McCain is King of the Maverick Party, pardner. I read it in the papers all the time.
