WHEN IS JOHN McCAIN ACTUALLY GOING TO JOIN BATTLE WITH HIS OPPONENTS IN THIS CAMPAIGN?
I have grown so discouraged with John McCain's inaction; his seeming lack of commitment; his refusal to take the fight to the enemy in this Presidential Campaign, that a few moments ago I submitted the comments below to his Official Campaign Website. For all I know they may be deleted and totally disregarded by the operatives at his end. But they relect my true feelings at this juncture.
Sarah sparkled like a diamond in her debate and fought like a MAN! Now when is John going to gut it up and ATTACK the lying bastards in the other party? Enough pantywaist hands-across-the-aisle wimping out! The Dems are eating John's lunch, and he gives NO indication that he even NOTICES it! Why did I WASTE my money on a non-starter?
Poor Sarah! A thoroughbred hitched to Beetlebomb! John! John! This is NOT a game of "Drop the Hankie!" This a battle for the future of The USA! Obama Is NOT an honorable man! He wants to honor his mentor, Saul Alinsky and bring Marxism to the White House! And he will achieve it if you continue your milquetoast pseudo-campaign!
You're the TOP of the ticket. And if you don't start showing some BALLS, you're going to LOSE! Has that possibility crossed your mind at all? You are LIVING UP TO every accusation of being a RINO that has ever been made of you.....in Spades!
How can you let your co-candidate go out and take a stand for RIGHT and Honor and Republican Principles, while you drivel and blab about insane crap like having Al Gore in your Cabinet?! Dear God! Why did I waste a cent of my money or a moment's trust and hope on YOU?! 80% of the people say they think man-made climate change is a huge crock, but that is nearly ALL you can talk about! Nobody believes that crap, John! Talking about it makes you look like such a doofus! And having your staff force Sarah to spew that global warming drivel, too! It's bad enough that YOU do it!
Why don't you talk about how you tried to introduce legislation to control Fanny and Freddie, but that the DEMS shot it down? And give dates and NAME NAMES! Why don't you NAME Barney and Chris and Maxine, et al? They've been NAMING YOUR NAME with great abandon and mendacity! Don't you even have the balls to stand up for YOURSELF?! You're no fighter! You're just one helluva big disappointment, because you're trying to MAKE NICE with corrupt, rotten, disloyal bastards who would just as soon run over you as look at you.
Drop the "my esteemed fellow-Senator" bullshit and point out the damnable LIES they are spewing about you and about Pres. Bush and about Republicans in general! I counted 16 huge whoppers from Biden Thursday night. Unless you find a pair of balls somewhere and TAKE THE BATTLE TO Biden and Obama, Barak Obama is going to be our next president! Is that what you WANT?
Poor Sarah! I think she made a BIIIIIG mistake!
Never.
He is running a Bob Dole campaign (and will get the same results)!
Truthfully, we should be RUNNING SARAH FOR PRESIDENT!!! Drop McCain, he’s useless!
He did take a stand. He voted for a Socialist bailout!
You people have to understand. If McCain fights back, the media may not like us anymore...
BUMP!!!
It is too bad that McCain is not calling Obama on what he is, his lies, his associations and his track record on everything ANTI-AMERICAN.
If McCain loses, it will be because he GAVE THE ELECTION to Obama. He has more than ten times enough “ammo” to sink Obama -— he just needs to use it NOW, NOW, NOW !!!!
I honestly the only reason he’s not going after the democrats for their obvious role in Freddie Fannie is because of the Keating 5 scandal. That’s it....I think it’s moronic.
I agree. McCain should shut up and let Sara talk.
I also think that Governor Palin will return to Alaska and continue to do her stuff there and we will not see her nationally again. She is a go-getter and she will relaize that she can still do much for her constituents without having to put up with the likes of Congress and the Dims and the lazy Repubs.
Who do you think put in the line in “air raiding villages and killing civilians”? Expect it to be a repeated quote by McCain.
I reject the defeatist notion that this is a Bob Dole campaign. Bob Dole would be down 20 points under these circumstances. Let McCain thrive. It’s clear he wasn’t fully prepared for the first debate because of his trip to Washington. He has two more shots that I suspect will be better.
Good Question
Obama is a communist and McCain should call him on it.
“I am beginning to think that McCain really does not want to win.”
You can’t offer a single plausible explanation for that assertion.
These defeatist vanities get us nowhere.
Palin/Thompson!
“He is running a Bob Dole campaign (and will get the same results)!”
The difference is that Palin is his political viagra.
Having said that I feel somehow ashamed.
McCain lost me with that vote. Not that he had me, I was holding my nose because of Sarah. All he had to do was just act like a conservative for a couple of months, but instead he reverted to type.
Everyone has to do what they think is right. I’m personally writing in Sarah’s name instead.
aahhhhh NEVER
When? LOL!!!!!!!! McCain is a washington insider, a two faced POS elitist. Palin is the reason to be positive. If McLame wins we hope for McLame to keel over and Palin becomes president.
I agree Norman. He must fight.
The VP debate is over, and we won that. The bailout garbage is taken care of.
Time for McCain to go Truman on the Dem Congress and Obama
Look for McCain to get very aggressive in the coming days. If I’m wrong I’ll eat crow.
Two things:
ASSama is trying to win, even lying, cheating, doing anything legal and illegal to win. He is everywhere, saying anything, doing anything. He is motivated and actively working to win.
In contrast this whole tread is about McCain and his efforts in the campaign. The contrast is too dramatic.
Dud candidate? Who cares?
At least he’s not Mormon!
/sarc
Obama’s peaking too early. Look for McCain to get very aggressive when it counts most.
I hope so, I am counting on it. If not, it is time to let Sarah bail.
Gore did the same as Obama in 2000. He was everywhere also.
These comments are the same we heard in past elections.
What do you mean he wasn’t prepared? He’s had 26 years to prepare. It’s not like the questions were that involved or difficult. Give a short layman’s answer and call your opponent out on his lies. Simple as pie for a long time senator.
You may be right. I was disgusted waiting for McCain to fight like a man, and then he unloaded on 0bama to great effect just before the conventions. He may be doing the same thing now.
He may also have wanted to wait until the bailout was signed before stirring the hornets' nest.
Too bad, of all the times we need a great candidate, we’re stuck with Mac.
Zero has so much that can be put out there and all these ads are not enough.
I feel sorry for Sarah because I think she is the one carrying the load
and Mac is dragging his feet with all this nicey-nicey crap and where did that get Bush?
The media won’t tell the truth, they won’t even hint at anything bad about Zero.
It is beyond belief why the media are in the tank for this person. Lord help us.
In how many weeks now?
There is a hit piece on Cindy and drugs right now on CBS.
Maybe McCain does not want to win anymore. We are all headed down the toilet and maybe he doesn’t want to be the one to have to deal with this mess.
Do you want salt and pepper and a side of taters with that crow?
I listened a bit to Rush today. When he was asked this question he said he had heard a rumor that McCain, and through him his campaign, believes that elections are really decided in the last 72 hours of the campaign. If that is true then I am very wrong and you are very right.
But I still wonder why McCain's actions are so damnably tepid. He could save the 18" guns for later but in the meantime his base is getting frustrated and demoralized (hence this type of thread) because he is not even using the 50 calibers, just the paintball guns. I fear undecideds are making up their minds and will quit paying attention to what is happening. There is also the early voting. Every vote McCain loses in this early stuff, and it is all across the country, is a vote which cannot be recovered. That is bad.
I do hope I am wrong, mainly because I hate to lose Palin in the process.
The Dhims are going to make sure history sees to it the right-wing Most corrupted party ever (their words) is at fault for this. No tax increase when Zero gets in—
We have just been given our INCREASED TAXES before Zero ever got in.
Your kidding. What about Obama and his crack and marijuana use. After all, both are in the past.
They must be desperate. I thought the wives were supposed to be taboo?
Like Never Dewd.
Juan criticizes Conservatives and Republicans, but NEVER EVER criticizes Democrats.
Juan is 72 and is not going to change because you want him to or because you contributed to his campaign. These serial vanities clogging up the board whining about this is getting tedious.
Hey John! you pushed Sarah, AN INTELLIGENT, BEAUTIFUL, SUCCESSFUL MOTHER OF FIVE into the spot light, subjected her and her family to these vile, despicable media creatons and the even more despicable Obama campaign scum. She has done her job beyond expectations, ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE HER OUT THERE TO DRY, IS THIS FOR LAUGHS. You had better get your a## in gear, put the gloves on and come out fighting because you will not only loose the election you will forever be berated and raked over the coals by the Americans who support you for bailing on Sarah. NO MORE MENTIONS OF WORKING ACROSS THE ISLE AND BIPARTISANSHIP, save it! WE WANT ACTION!
Not kidding. Shouldn’t be any surprise.
Dhims never play fair.
Zero has soooooo much more then crack and MJ in his resumé
Media don’t care. Any Dhim but Bush.
RE: “Look for McCain to get very aggressive in the coming days. If I’m wrong I’ll eat crow”
I’ll join you in eating that crow.
We have a whole month left before the election, and two debates. I fully expect to see McCain unleashed, big time, after the last debate on October 15. For now I think the campaign team is being a little careful knowing McCain and Obama will face off two more times.
Let Obama flit around the country meantime with his fluffy hope/change messages. Those have already gotten old. The more he blathers on, the easier it will be to hang him on his words.
I think we should be patient; calm down and hang in there a bit longer before imploding.
So we will never hear from Palin again ? She has a shot at vp. If not there is a political body called the senate. Sniff sniff , whats that smell ?
RE: “He may also have wanted to wait until the bailout was signed before stirring the hornets’ nest.”
I totally agree!
Pray for him to find his mettle. He needs a Saul-knocked-off-his-mule moment.
I don’t know, but I get that funny feeling again that McPain is nothing but a democrat trojan horse. Somehow he would look more heroic today fighting the democrats than he was being a prisoner of the Viet Cong in the 60’s. The question is: does McPain want to occupy the White House or will he make a path to it for 0bama?
McCain should announce that WHEN he wins, he is forgoing his salary for the length of his presidency. He could call this another example of sacrifice for “Country First”.
