I think you nailed it. They are trying to save what is left of their backsides. McCain never did take the gloves off, really.
Palin had to be the attack dog, and they had her on a tight leash. I understand if you go too far, you risk inciting someone on the fringe to violence, but McCain never played the Odinga card or the Ayers right bower; only Hannity did that. And whine, whine on the left, too many negative ads. How negative was the MSM towards Palin? Much worse and their sycophants.
What finally got out there about there about Ayers, unbelieveable how the left yawned over it.
McCain has no one to blame but himself. He truly suffered for the country, but couldn't wow the crowds like Sarah could. I doubt Romney could have overcome being a Mormon (wasn't a problem with me), I never heard of Pawlenty, she was the best pick and, I guess, an easy target.
Maybe Alaska will come to its senses and secede lol. Doesn't sound like such a bad idea to me. The one who started the party evidently got murdered after trying to buy plastic explosives (can't really condone that for sure), but if they are pro-life (don't say on their website), anybody can contribute to them whether they live in Alaska or not.
I'm not sure seceding is warranted or a good idea, but it wouldn't hurt to send a message. I'll hold off on that, just kicking it around.
Secession is the coward’s way out. If we believe in the Constitution and all those things that have made this country great we must fight for it.
Reality: Americans have had it pretty easy since WWII. No serious attack on our country. And no need to be part of the fight against communism and Islamo Terror. It is true that a small per cent of the population have sent sons, daughters and spouses to war. And too many of these families have lost loved ones.
But by and large the average American has just gone about his/her life with little or no concern at all for any of that.
Up to now the only threat to America was external. The election of the Marxist Obama to the Presidency makes this fight internal. Americans who want their country back will not be able to sit on the sidelines while soldiers do the fighting. It will be interesting to see if they have the will to fight and win their country back.
