McCain should suspend his campaign (Vanity)
Little House on Unaka | June 7, 2008 | don-o

Posted on 06/07/2008 3:45:13 PM PDT by don-o

Today, I am calling for John McCain to immediately suspend all campaigning for the Presidency until Labor Day. Let the full spotlight shine upon Barak Obama.

Give him plenty of room to declare his vision for America and give plenty of space for the hard left America haters to drive it home.

The conservative movement is adrift and sees that its values seemingly have become irrelevant to the Republican Party. We grasp at the straw of hope that McCain will make good judicial appointments and maintain our nation’s military strength.

However, he is not trusted and we end up with the “lesser of two evils” situation, which has thoroughly discussed here and elsewhere. It may be possible than he will govern more conservatively that the current President, who has been a disappointment to conservatives. One can hold out that hope.

The fact is that Obama makes a much prettier package to sell to the sheeple. Some time is going to be needed for the shallowness and vacuity that defines the man to fully emerge for all to see. McCain does himself no favor by a premature engagement with him

So, take the summer off, John. Save your money. See you in September.

I had posted this idea on a few threads. I had mixed reactions to the idea.

Anything genuinely worth doing, is worth doing on an ongoing basis. ;)

McCain truly needs to withdrawal from the Presidential race so that a true conservative will be able to replace him. This is truly the worst Presidential choices, ever!

Keep your integrity by not voting for either of these jokers.

I dunno... McCain has been pretty adamant about reducing spending, tax cuts, and aggressive on the WOT. That works for me.

Not a good idea. Out of sight and out of the media attention. Would give the Obama folks and their friends in the media free reign.

Only if Charlie Daniels and Hank Jr. agree to take over the campaign.

He can charge headlong into Barack Hussein Muhammad Obama today or do as you say and wait until after Labor Day.

It won’t change my position no matter what he does. His Senatorial voting record has told me enough. I refuse to vote for one socialist over another socialist.

I tink it’s a great idea, because the more McCain opens his mouth, the more is dislike him.

Maybe we can get him to shut up and retire altogether.

Thanks for asking.

Same here. On the threads I noted a benefit is that he stops enraging conservatives, at least for a while.

I had my hopes up that you wanted him to drop out so a real conservative would take his place.

No. He'll look even older in September.

A better option would be for McCain to name Fred Thompson as his VP, then drop out.
