Does any of these country-clubbers think the vote would be anywhere near as close as it is if McCain had selected the acceptable-to-them Olympia Snowe?
Get real! McCain would be 20 points down by now.
They decided early on that McCain was going to lose this thing. Not a Republican year, and all that rot. But John McCain did not get into this race to lose, and he will not go down quietly. The country-clubbers will never forgive him for that.
Or z-z-z-z-z-Susan Collins-z-z-z-z...
Olympia Snowe? Where’s the barf alert for this thread?
I live in Maine and I can tell you, if McCain had picked Olympia Snowe as his running mate, I would be staying home on election day.
Sarah Palin spoke at an Air National Guard Hanger at Bangor International Airport in Bangor, Maine last Thursday morning. Sarah’s 40 minute speech was televised on the local ABC affiliate, but not on CBS or NBC.
Anyway, before Sarah spoke, Olympia Snowe droned on and on in her annoying voice for 20 minutes! Meanwhile, Sarah was standing on the stage, patiently waiting for Snowe to shut her damn pie hole. I was yelling at the TV, shut up, Olympia! The crowd wants to hear Sarah, NOT you! Now granted, Snowe was saying good things about John McCain, but thousands of people had lined up for hours in the early morning cold to hear Gov. Palin, not the RINO Olympia Snowe.
As I watched Snowe drone on, all I could think was Olympia Snowe has more in common with Barack Obama than Sarah Palin.
Sarah’s speech was great, as usual. At one point she asked veterans to raise their hands, and then turned her body in all directions and repeatedly thanked them.
I have said all along that a deal was struck that this is the Republican's turn to lose. These corrupt people that we keep electing to Washington, don't want to lose their power so they make these deals with each other to keep themselves there forever. This is what is wrong with our government - these people have roosted there so long that they have completely lost touch with the American people.
The chicken-$hit Republican party has seen that bad things are coming down as a result of the way that they & the dems have run things & they don't want to be associated with it. I don't think McCain the "maverick" is in their little clique right now & so he is their sacrificial lamb. That's the only way I can explain the events that have led to us having John McCain as our nominee. I think you are right - McCain isn't in it to lose & when he picked Sarah Palin that turned the elite's world upside-down.
That wasn't supposed to happen! We have to keep praying more than we ever have in our lives. God threw Sarah Palin in the mix, and now he's given us Joe the Plumber. We have to keep up the fight & not give up - the American people can win this thing.
I don't think they care. It's more important to these snots to have a candidate who regularly throws out Emily Dickinson quotes on the campaign trail.
