The wife of John McCain appears in ads opposing Proposition 8, the California initiative passed last year outlawing gay marriage. (This came out a couple of days ago, but PHXated is just getting to it after a couple of days working on a redesign of the site.)

The views of the senator are exactly the opposite — he even supported the ludicrous Arizona constitutional amendment last year.

McCain’s views are presumably those of the Mormons and Catholics who support anti-gay marriage measures — that gay marriage is somehow a threat to the sanctity of traditional marriage.

McCain’s respect for that sanctity is well known, including a decade or so of neglect of (and sleeping around on) his first wife after she had a disabling car accident.

Here’s some more recent evidence of his idea of what traditional marriage is, from the new book Game Change, on the 2008 presidential campaign:

“FUCK YOU! FUCK, FUCK, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!!”

McCain let out the stream of sharp epithets, both middle fingers raised and extended, barking in his wife’s face. He was angry; she had interrupted him. Cindy burst into tears, but, really, she should have been used to it by now.
