Obama is going to win because he isn’t Bush or a Republican. Independents determine who wins an election and they’re gong to vote for no war, lower gas prices and government health care, all of which they believe Obama can give them. Every time McCain praises himself for being the best commander in chief, it makes people think of war and McCain loses votes. This being said, it’s better in the long run if liberal, Democrat light, McCain loses.
Don’t bet on it.
I can, however, recommend a great red! Beckman's atelier. oooOOOoooo... Goes great with steak and zucchini.
McCain's biggest problem is his complete refusal to hear his base. As disgusted as I am with him, I will not vote for Obama Bin Liar, nor will I not vote. What to do, what to do. So, every day, I send McCain a FR thread about his shortcomings.
My dad use to tell a story about the Queen Mary. There that boat is, sunk in cement down in Long Beach. But physics has proved that if you, just by yourself, should venture down to Long Beach and press against that boat, constant gentle pressure, for as long as it takes, that huge boat, sunk in cement, it will move. Maybe not much. Maybe not soon, but it will move. It WILL move. So, every day, constant gentle pressure. We don't like what yer doing, Senator McCain. We want THIS, Senator McCain. If you want my VOTE, Senator McCain..... Constant pressure. I think I'll send this thread today. Ciao!
15) Reframe the whole energy debate in terms of National Security. Continue to claim the environmentalist mantel if you must, but at the same time say “at the current time, drilling for oil is a matter of national security.” Because it is. And this issue will give you a landslide victory. If you really mean. Which you should. Really mean it.
Did you ever see that comedy skit where they take a very popular song and simply read the words out loud. The song sounds meaningless, trite, and absurd. The same is true for Obam's speeches, its all in the delivery. If you read the plain text of his speeches, they come across as meaningless, trite, and absurd.
American energy independence will be the key issue of the next campaign (2 years from now). Why not make it the key issue of this campaign?
American energy independence will be the key issue of the next campaign (2 years from now). Why not make it the key issue of this campaign?Exactly. I have to think there are a couple of lurkers here in FR who have McCain's ear.
Please think about what we're saying here.
We're talking about a single issue that could not only catapult McCain to victory, but to greatness.
The alternative is: a long, slow hapless slide into oblivion as Obama wins the argument as to who is the Better Liberal.
OK,
We are so screwed......
“For the good of the nation, I wish McCain would step aside and let a Republican represent the party.”
Yeah, but sadly, wishful thinking. It has become obvious by his most recent Greenie stance that McCain is sending a signal that he is willing to write-off traditional Republican conservative support for the mushy-middle aka moderate vote. It might work, guess we will see. Personally, I am thinking about stay home and saving the gas...
Thank you! I have wished the same.
Even if McQueeg wins in November, his seat will undoubtedly be filled by a Democrat, thereby lessening the Senate Pubbie count. Doesn't the GOP/RNC think about this stuff? Or, are they letting him run because he threatened to pull a "Jumpin' Jim" Jeffords and finally formally affiliate himself with the dems? Who knows?
Without these aids, he is nothing but a stumbling, bumbling, Chicago-lite, political, hack!!
The only good advice for McCain, Don’t listen to Politico or any of your other former “friends” in the Moron Media and especially anyone with ties to your other “friend”, George Soros. McCain will not listen to anyone don’t ya know, he is on the Straight Talk Express.
I have some advice for McCain. Rename the Straight Talk Express to the NO TALK EXPRESS.
Every time he opens his mouth he turns more people off.
> 7. Reach outside the GOP
McCain's entire political career has been based on "reaching outside the GOP".... and calumniating the people who he should be wooing.
BIZARRO GOP CODE
US DO OPPOSITE OF ALL CONSERVATIVE THINGS!
US HATE CONSTITUTION!
US LOVE BIG GOVERNMENT!
IS BIG CRIME TO MAKE ANYTHING CONSERVATIVE ON BIZARRO GOP WORLD!
He will not hurt his opponents feelings by telling the truth about him and that is going to be Mclames undoing.
False. Make up something else.
False. Make up something else.
Ok, how's this for making something up? A sitting governor from the Democratic Party appoints a REPUBLICAN to fill a vacant Senate seat. Perhaps you were unaware that Arizon's Gov. Napolitano sports a "D" after her name.
Thanks for fixing it, TADSLOS, and thanks for the chuckle!
