OWN jabs McCain with "Stamporee"

Liberal group One Wisconsin Now is putting on a "Stamporee" outside the convention to highlight what they say is John McCain's "rubber stamp" record on voting with President Bush.

The demonstration is being acted out on a street corner near the convention center.

In the Stamporee sketch, OWN director Scot Ross plays the part of a narrator who lists various issues, from the war in Iraq to women's reproductive rights to actors wearing Bush and McCain masks, and an actress dressed as Cindy McCain. McCain then applies a giant rubber stamp that spells out "McSame" to a poster board as banjo music plays in the background.

"We're showing how in the United State Senate John McCain has been a rubber stamp for George W. Bush. Many of these policies have been disastrous for America and for the rest of the world," Ross said.

Ross said the display has gotten a few honks, while one motorist shouted "Yeah, stay the course."
