Here is the whole McCain campaign problem in a nutshell.

Rather then try to build a bridge to Conservatives. McCainacs are running around screaming insults at everyone who questions their god.

That is not going to win him any votes. Conservatives have legitimate questions based on John McCain's record over the last 10 years. Screaming at them they HAVE to support McCain "because the other side is worse" isn't going to sell.

Senator McCain should go to the Senate and start picking fights with the Democrats on some key Conservative issues. Spending would be an easy one for him to fight on since he has TALKED such a good game. Actions speak louder then words.

He needs to show us he is willing to fight FOR us, not just against us. He has the time to build a bridge to Conservatives while Hillary and Obama slug it out.

Arrogantly demanding our support as his due is not going to work. We know his record. From our vantage point, a GOP Liberal pushing a $ .50 a gallon gas tax hike isn't all that different from the Democrats.

Yep. GOP establishment keep trying to win on that “bogeyman” forever, and keep trying to buy us with “I am with Ronald Reagan” which makes me sick because Ronald Reagan never did anything close to that - never traded on anyone else’s name and appealed to people to vote for him on the basis of his ideas and policies he would bring.

How long till we hear McCain’s “Where is the outrage?”
