I wrote this for my
blog, but I'm posting it in news because I thought it was important enough.

And yet, McCain seems to be increasing his lead :)
Thus showing that at some point (as we saw with Romney) it just doesn’t matter how much money you throw at a campaign - if you’re a stinker, you get smelt.

McCain gets zero support.
He is a political wimp who does not go after the political enemy.
He sends thorns to his own, and roses to his adversaries.
He MIGHT get a vote but he will never ever get time or MONEY.

This is what happens when your base consists of independents and Libs. Some of them may vote for McCain, but none of them are going to give him money.
So since he doesn’t need conservatives to win this election, we get to use our money to get REAL conservatives into office.
To: Antoninus
That’s because most of his supporters are sending to Obama and Clinton.

"He is a political wimp who does not go after the political enemy. " Sooo true, it's so apparent that he has a chronic case of the Stockholm syndrome.

McCain has millions of dollars worth of free publicity from all his years of stabbing conservatives in the back.
Every time his campaign sends me pleas for support, I send back a tersely worded reply something like this:
"Why don't you raise your money and volunteers from Democrats and moderates? After all, they are the ones who got you the nomination. They are the ones you've been most interested in pleasing."
McCain could win by default because his opponents suck so bad. But he's going to have to start hitting them with the same gusto he's used on first amendment advocates (McCain-Feingold), secure borders advocates (McCain-Kennedy) and even candidates just slightly to his right (Romney).

IMO, that’s what happens when you thumb your nose at the base. That goes for McLame, the leadership of the GOP and the RNC in DC. They’ve ignored reality for seven years and spent that time sucking up to Liberals and playing “nice guy.” We’re at war with Liberals just as much as terrorists who are both trying to destroy this country.

Thanks to Rush and Operation CHAOS, the rats will burn up that extra money and more fighting each other.
BTW - Freeper HokieMom came up with a great acronym for CHAOS:
Crush
Hillary
And
Obama
Simultaneously

That’s a good point. However, I can’t remember the last time a Republican presidential candidate got his clock cleaned so badly in campaign funding. Anyone?

Spending per se doesn’t indicate anything, but being able to raise money does. Over the last several Presidential elections, the candidate who raised the most money won.

Trouble is, they don't appear to be. They're both increasing their cash-on-hand month-by-month. McCain's is increasing too, but at a much slower rate.

That's where I am right now. I sent money to Bush in 2000 and 2004. I haven't sent McCain a dime and don't intend to unless he picks a great Conservative as his VP.
And no, Crist and Graham don't count as 'great conservatives'.

Poor Johnny McCain, having to catch a ride on a Greyhound as he tours around preaching open borders and the junk science of global warming.
Send him some Bush pesos.
Does anyone have a graph of contributions to the GOP before and after the amnesty debacle?

I don't see a problem for McCain. All he has to do is appeal to his friends in the illegal immigrant community which he favors over native born possible contributors. Let the illegals pay for him.

We know we have a lame RINO, what can we expect for donations? But as long as the rat dollars get spent fighting each other it certainly helps negate the extra they raise.
Did Karl Rove have a hand in this?

Yeah, but wait until he hits Mexico and East LA. The pesos should come rolling in.
