Your analysis holds no water.
McCain was a weak candidate. He is a liberal, and libs vote for the real thing, not a poser. He knew full well what a danger Obama was, but he couldn’t even muster the gumption to criticize him when it counted.
Plus he was an old man and that doesn’t sell in Presidential politics. Shallow reason, but absolutely true.
This was Bob Dole 1996 redux. It failed then and it failed again. Imagine that?
Funny how Bobby Jindal was saying the same things Rush said two months ago, this week, to rave reviews. Guess Rush must be stupid.
Or prescient.
Rush is not making it worse. Mush headed thinkers like McConnell and Steele are doing that all by themselves.
Rush is leading. His goal is not to save the GOP. It is to save America. And the GOP better get on board, or we will hook up to a political organization that will fight these Communist SOBs in the Democrat Party that are destroying this country.
And Obama did NOT cause Obama to win. The media, and John McStupid’s idiotic stunts did that FOR Obama.
And Republicans are weak. They are only now standing up for conservative principles because of Rush speaking out and a very angry group of Conservatives that have closed their wallets to the RNC.
As far as talking to people who voted for Obama,I have and they have no reasons. They can’t name anything that Obama ever accomplished, nor can they get past the allure that “hope and change” trumps “Bush is bad”. And a weak GOP allowed themselves to be branded as bad by the incessant Dem bashing and the GOP not answering in kind. There is a lot of buyer’s remorse among Obama voters now, but it’s a little late for that.
Quite frankly, it is you who are naive, and your analysis shows it. Politics ain’t beanbag, kid.
And right now, we have a country to save. I could care less about the GOP.
Well said, exit82!
Almost stopped reading the rest of the thread right here. Your post so succinctly nailed it, nothing else needed saying.
Only reason I stayed on thread was to watch the VKs play.
