You know Rush is advising the dems to scrap their two canidates and select another..
Maybe we should do the same....
You are now seeing what many of us in Az. have known and have seen from McPain. The man wants to be the “Maverick” and loves courting the elite media and democrats at the expense of his own party and people within the party.
This man is a disaster waiting to happen. He loves to walk to the beat of a different drum, but damn anyone who disagrees with him! Mark my word; McPain, will kill the Republican party with the sole intent of weeding out Conservatives from the party. The only one out of touch with the NC Republican party is the purported nominee!!
The US loses if any of the 3 remaining candidates win.
I haven't been this bummed out by a presidential race since 1964 when Goldwater lost to LBJ. LBJ was undeniably the 1st runner up for worst president the US has ever elected, and 2nd only to the all time worst president in US history, Jimmy Carter.
BTW, I wonder how much we would had to pay HAMAS to have kept Carter locked up in isolation over there until he kicks the bucket? No matter how much it would have cost it would still have been a bargain.
There, fixed it.
If he hasn't figured out when to shut up and and stop playing to the MSM, we are in for a very long and depressing 4 - 8 years.
And this guy is our nominee?
Wow. McCain hasn’t called Mr. Wright out of touch...but NC Republicans are...for campaigning?
McCain is a sad man.
McCain is an idiot. The TV ad is against the two Democrat Gubernatorial candidates, connecting them to the radical Obama. It has nothing to do with McCain. He should have kept his mouth shut and enjoyed the free benefit. Now he can go pound sand on John Edwards’ beachfront property.
John McCain is loony tunes or he is working for the Democrats or . . .
Exactly!!
I was thinking the same thing. McCain may have just handed NC’s 15 EVs to Obama.
McCain will be the best democrat President this country has ever elected.
Sam Nunn just signed on as a big time Obama supporter. So much for his vaunted expert status on national defense issues while in the Senate. Obama proposes to severely cut back the military and withdraw from the world in hopes that the bad guys will leave us alone if we leave them alone. Like that idea worked so well for Chamberlin when he caved in to Hitler, right Sam?
Nunn somehow managed to stay in good with GA voters even though as GA's Senator he worked against almost everything Georgians wanted for the state and the nation, and for almost everything we didn't want. I never voted for him, and if I had I certainly wouldn't be proud of it. I never voted for Zig Zag Zell either, but IMHO he redeemed himself with his great speech at the GOP Convention and I would vote for him now if he ran for any office up to and including the White House. But given the choices we have now I would vote for almost anybody except the 3 people who are still left in the running at this point.
Woops! I just did a quick search and found that Sam Nunn endorsed Osama Obama for President.
>McCain needs to be removed at the convention.<
Oooooh! Can they do that? I have been praying for this!
Does McCain really want to be our President?
Please Senator stiffen your backbone and call a spade a spade. Support the truth. The ad is correct.
It must be aired for all in America.
“......when we need a good conservative the most.”
______________________________________________________________
For this election cycle on the presidential level it ain’t going to happen. There is no conservative on the ticket. The air waves are full of angst over what McCain is doing recently. Conservatives will just have to get over that.
What is a conservative to do? Pout, stay home, vote for a candidate that you grandpappy would slap you silly if he knew? No. I suggest that conservatives use McCain as the practitioner of the red lite district trades for which he is. Use him for a strong defense policy, Supreme Court nominations, and any other positions you can agree with. No candidate is ever perfect and this one is less so than most. But the alternative to putting a liberal in the White House and have a Democrat controlled Congress is a train wreck too great to imagine.
This election will call on conservatives to be individualistic enough to work, donate, and campaign for downstream candidates that are more attuned to conservative principles than the current lot. If conservatives are regain control, a new crop of candidates will have to be elected. All of the “Contract with America” crowd have resigned or gone native(i.e. Pelosi and Gengrich sitting on a love seat).
To use a sports analogy, this is a “rebuilding year”; but, there is no reason to not use McCain for what he can deliver for conservatives. There is an old saying about “the horse for the course” and McCain is the horse or some part of it this time. He can win an election thought to be a goner for Republicans a year ago. When you think of the prospects that were out there at that time and look now, a lot of ground has been made up.
If it’s any consultation, the guy is 71 years old. He is not going the leader of a moderate movement in the Party.
In short, use the old dude for now and work like hell on the under card.
I forwarded the below letter to Linda Davies to support her, and wrote it to remind the Republican Party in Oregon of why I do not contribute.
Linda,
Here in Oregon our Republican Party is hopeless as I noted to them in the below letter. I applaud your example of courage.
The North Carolina Republican Party remains unrepentant about their ad highlighting Barack Obama’s personality and character as represented by twenty-year mentorship from Reverend Wright. How one will behave as President is centrally identified by character and personality. Discussing past policy reaction to events provides only one insight into future reactions; insights into how personality and character will effect future decisions. Aggressive, legitimate campaigns should emphasize both close personal and policy associations, when they conflict with the image an opponent insists on presenting.
The North Carolina action reminds me of the pathetic behavior of the Oregon Republican Party. The Oregonian ran a story a while back about how the Republican Party had produced strategies resulting in losses of 10 of 11 recent statewide races. I think the basic Republican sound bite should be, “Vote for us. We are just as good as the Democrats”.
The 2004 election results should never have occurred, should at least have been a watershed event, but resulted in the blunders of 2006. Remember you did not field competitive candidates against a failed Attorney General and failed Secretary of State. You failed to win the governorship, even after the Oregonian endorsed your candidate. I had to discover Hatfield’s endorsement of Bush in World magazine, and you lost the state for him.
The Democrat Party operates aggressively by Mao Tae-Tung’s reality that politics is war without bloodshed. The Republican Party cherishes media stories about how they have lost so graciously.
