The Democratic Party has hoisted a great spoof website called Exxon-McCain 2008 that uses the guise of an Exxon/McCain presidential ticket as a way of talking about John McCain’s connections not just to that one oil company but to the oil industry in general. Did you know, for instance, that right after John McCain executed his flip-flop from opposing offshore oil drilling to supporting it, McCain received huge coordinated contributions from the Hess oil corporation, including from multiple employees of Hess, all on the same day? Well, it’s true, and the Exxon-McCain 2008 page exposes this and other facts with sourcing and with glee.

The Democratic Party is trying to get this meme to spread around the ‘net and the physical world, making their logo publicly available for printing on signs and such. But they don’t have a ready-made Exxon-McCain 2008 button people can use to stick on their jackets and go, go, go.

Here’s a solution: two Exxon-McCain 2008 sturdy metal pinback buttons, designed and produced by us independently but in support of the Democratic Party effort. Click on the image you prefer to get yours at the bargain price of just $2.75 apiece including shipping. We’ll ship them out right away via the U.S. Postal Service.
