He gamed the system. He became the presumptive nominee with just 31% of the total primary vote. Open primaries, winner-take-all, and a compressed primary schedule helped McCain become the nominee. What party nominates its maverick as its standard bearer? The Stupid Party.
Look who’s been president for the last 7 years and look how popular he is. Do the math.
Actually if the party were stupid they would nominate someone more like Bush.
I could stomach being a Republican when I thought they were THE STUPID PARTY; I became an Independent conservative when I realized how EVIL they are. Some of the Democrats may be true believers, others are moron kool-aid drinkers, but most of the Republicans, like McCain, are just greedy evil sob's willing to sell us out for their own profit.
