As I’ve said before I can’t fathom an egomaniac like McCain who clearly would have sacrificed one of his kids to Baal to be elected President would act as a “ringer”. He didn’t run a winning race cause he’s a RINO idiot and pussy who didn’t want the media to hate him for going after the Black guy. Even the mild extent to which he did earned him lasting scorn from his base (reporters). I don’t understand why that’s harder to believe than your “He must have lost on purpose”. People are stupid, weak animals and stupidity and weakness are always more likely than grand conspiracies that would have to involve countless people. And the same goes for Mitt, this prick had daddy issues, daddy got embarrassed and he needed to win for daddy, he’d have dipped his balls in sulfuric acid before he’d lose on purpose.
However Chesse Puff, I completely dismiss your “Obama was destined to win” malarkey, which is just that. That kind of fatalistic nonsense might make you feel better about losing but not me. The future is not writ, and while we may not know what or be able to do what is needed to achieve the outcome we want, there’s usually a way, in studying defeats we can learn how to avoid them next time.
Bammy won for 2 reasons
1)The economy was in the potty
2)McPain ran a crummy race
#1 is big and it’s hard for the incumbent party to hang on in that circumstance because voters are desperate, grasping troglodytes prone to reacting like rats in a maze.
But that doesn’t mean a good candidate running a strong race couldn’t have beaten Obama. The funny named cipher was “inspirational” cause that’s what the media told people he was. What McPain needed to do was deconstruct that crap and rip out his throat with savage attacks on that worthless cokehead. Trump showed how to do that 8 years later against other anointed piece of poo poo.
As for Bush, he was garbage and a major cause of aforementioned economic sanitation situation. But he can hardly be blamed for the 2008 candidates, there were plenty of them, I don’t know what kind of “planting” you expected “farmer Bush” to do. Other than replacing Cheney with a successor type there wasn’t much he could have done on that front. I wish would have vetoed the bailouts and crap, that was something in his power. Running against the bailout might have been the ticket to GOP success that year.
I wanted Mark Sanford to run in 2008, which I soon discovered would have been a disaster. The candidates that ran were crap, I understand why freepers were hardcore for Fred Thompson despite his poor position in the polls. There’s no one to blame, except all of our candidates and our own voters for not demanding better candidates than The Clap (McCain) Crabs (Huckabee) Syphilis (Rudy) and Chlamydia (Mitt).
I’ll stand on my conclusion that both McQueeg and Willard were ringers to my dying breath. They weren’t running bad campaigns, they were running the campaigns designed to achieve the outcome they wanted. Both were Derp State operatives, both were world-class liars deceiving the voters on their true agenda. McQueeg was jumping out of his skin to go to the Demonrat party in 2004, but couldn’t make it. He would’ve been finished had he tried.
It demonstrated how corrupt and statist and in bed the GOP was with the Demonrats that either of those two ended up anywhere near the nomination. It would’ve been like Sheriff David Clarke getting the Dem Presidential nomination, but on purpose. Half the Dem base would’ve bolted.
Both their goals were the same: to destroy the Conservative agenda, to sow dissent in the ranks, and to stop a viable candidate from being the Republican to challenge Zero (or Hillary). Eventually, as we saw, even El Jebbe was fully aboard with the plan to be the ringer for his step-sister the Butcheress of Benghazi (please clap) for 2016. He wasn’t planning on running a bad campaign, he was planning on losing.
These people are not on our side. They never have been. I hate sports metaphors, but these guys were there to score points for the opposition, because they ARE the opposition.
“..The future is not writ, and while we may not know what or be able to do what is needed to achieve the outcome we want, there’s usually a way, in studying defeats we can learn how to avoid them next time....”
Spot-on and well said.
Trump showed how to win. It’s called “Fighting BACK”. He wasn’t the typical gutless RINO p*ssy that the dems expected.
“The Clap (McCain) Crabs (Huckabee) Syphilis (Rudy) and Chlamydia (Mitt).”
So, in other words...Earth Whores.
