Signing Off (Mark Steyn)
National Review ^ | 10/8/08 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 10/08/2008 6:39:45 AM PDT by steve-b

This reader out-Andies Andy:

Well I have gone outside and pulled up my Mcain/Palin sign. This election is over. I will vote for Mcain but I know that come Nov. 5 Obama will be our president-elect.
I feel sorry for Sarah Palin. A once promising career will be permanently connected to the landside loss of John McCain.
I weep for my children and their families.
Steady on. This next month is going to be a long month. Lots of things will happen. But McCain has to make some of them happen. His charge that Obama doesn't know the difference between "strategy" and "tactics" could equally well be leveled at his own campaign.

Hand wringers and cry babies crawl under your beds and hide, while the rest of us stand and fight the communist storm trooper terrorist appeasing thugs as they come over the walls. I would rather have an “Alamo” stand than be herded into reeducation camps or chambers filled bad air.

Since the OHB term will be an unmitigated disaster, you can bet your bottom dollar that HRC is already planning on running in 2012 to correct the DEM’s “buyer’s remorse.”

While I agree this will be a landslide, I have no idea which way it will go.

Yeah that’s the American Spirit...........give up , quit trying. Don’t help. Fatalist to the end oh woe is me......

Anyone who hasn’t the cajones to stick it out to the end needs to shut up and crawl back in their hidy hole and let real Americans battle sedition, socialism and the boogieman. And the end is not the first week of November, regardless of who wins. The end is when ya take that final big dirt nap and get your well earned rest for eternity ! Emphasis on EARNED ~!

FIGHT Damn it !

What happens if a disqualifying bombshell hits the chosen one? Does Hillary step in?

Mark Steyn falls prey to astroturfing.

I know they had 300 McCain/Palin signs on order here. And I haven’t gotten mine yet!

All-in-all, you’re not seeing too many signs at all, but more are popping up - and more and more McCain signs going up!

Personally. I think McCain will win. I just don’t think the majority of American people are stupid enough to vote for ‘the one’. The FBI is now investigating ACORN and, though he didn’t blow obama away in the debate, McCain did better than Obama.

I just can’t be a pessimist.

I guarantee Palin doesn’t agree with half the shit McCain says, but has to grudgingly toe the line and defend him.

I don’t think Palin will be permanently damaged since the loss can hardly be blamed on her. She’s the only thing that kept him in the race. She can become one of the conservative national leaders of the party in the next four years along with Jindal, Pence, Cantor, and others.

While he's sitting there “weeping” for his children in some corner, the rest of us will be fighting to save the republic. What a pantywaste.

I haven’t put up the sign. They sent me one which is just McCain. I don’t like McCain, never have and the more I see him the less I like him. I also have a bumper sticker that says “I’m voting for Sarah” but my husband won’t put it on my car because he’s afraid my car would get keyed, even in this red county, red state and he’s probably right. So I’ll vote for the R ticket. I don’t think that if the R ticket loses that its been a bad thing for Sarah to be on the ticket - she’s set for 2012 or even 2016. She is now a national conservative hero and a proven fund raiser, vote getter.

Fight for what? Another McBama socialist plan to bailout Wall Street plus a new add on plan to shovel out 330 additional billion dollars.

What a quitter! McCain will win of course. Hillary still has a chance to stab the opponent in the back. Courts are looking into Nobama. Gas is down. Plenty of food.

LIFE IS GOOD

Don’t be so sure. Did Obama pay off her campaign debts? She was in the hole by several million, even after using her own money from her book sale. He may be holding that over her head as a carrot/stick...............
