"[no] values voters"

A nice parody of "values voters" from the Onion...

Favorite line: "Obama did coke and McCain probably killed some guys in Vietnam-- but for me, that's just not enough"

UPDATE: As PianoMom's comment notes: You should be warned that there is an F-bomb written on a placard at the beginning of the video. (Somehow I didn't catch that; I must have been listening only!) And by the way, I have no idea who Branford Fisher is; it's probably fictitious.

"Fuck the Future"

Interesting that you would put that out there for us to enjoy, eric

The production itself felt a little forced.

I think they are playing on claims of the Right "voting values" and their supposed attempts to demonizes the Left for having none?

Of course, In reality, everyone "Votes Values"
Your values are what is most important to you and that's what motivates your choice.

The Left has values; the Right has values; the Libs have got values.

Which values are the right ones? That would be the big debate and I guess brings us back to the point of the parody.

Sorry about the F-bomb, but thanks for catching it. I've changed the post to reflect that. I must have been listening only for that-- or going blind!

I think the style and substance of what you saw is precisely what they were trying to do.

If they were spoofing the Left, they would have had fun with stuff like "End Racism" or "Stop Apartheid".
