Vote McCain (on back of each card in the deck)

Single playing card from the "McCain Presidential Playing Cards" deck. Image in the center of the card is framed in a red rectangle. X: Is the Jack of Diamonds featuring an image of Rush Limbaugh next to a microphone. A sign next to him reads "Dittoheads for McCain." "Rush Limbaugh radio personality."

There is a complete set of playing cards (52) along with two Jokers. Rush Limbaugh is a radio talk show host. His loyal fans (when they call into his show) usually say "Ditto, Rush" and then add something they want to say. This gave way to the term "Dittoheads." The term is also used as a pejorative by his critics who feel that Limbaugh's supporters tend to accept what Libaugh says, without thinking on their own.
