McCain was not my 1st, 2nd or even 3rd choice. And he is STILL light-years better than Obama.
There you go again, I succinctly explained that Paul's supporters are not part of the regular makeup of voters and that the only reason they're participating is because of Paul. Now if you want McCain to earn these votes I suggest he get his campaign in gear and start talking about the real issues killing this country instead of the same-old BS we hear every four years. You should also stop denigrating these people - it makes no sense to trash the very people that you need their votes for.
And you should stop filching Ronald Reagan's line. He never would have pulled a stunt like this when he was edged out by Ford in 1976. First you say these people wouldn't vote for McCain anyway, then you suggest they should be courted. All the while running a sideshow in St. Paul that will finally give Paul the spotlight he craves. The party and the country be damned. We got 8 years of the Clintons thanks to Perot pulling this style of nonsense and now Paul wants to reprise it. NO SALE.
I never said McCain wasn't better than the Messiah. Of course he is. I'll probably hold my nose for McCain, after getting wasted the night before.
He never would have pulled a stunt like this when he was edged out by Ford in 1976.
The GOP never cheated Reagan out of his primary victories either, like they did to Paul in Nevada and Louisiana.
First you say these people wouldn't vote for McCain anyway
Dude, they're not part of the political process to begin with! These are folks who just didn't give a rip about politics until Paul came along. When are you going to comprehend this?
then you suggest they should be courted.
Of course they should. Look, people get the sense that politicians simply aren't talking about the issues that matter. There is a huge disconnect here. That's why these people don't vote or vote 3rd party. McCain should attract these people, he could at least reach out to Paul and seek his advice on economic matters, for starters.
All the while running a sideshow in St. Paul that will finally give Paul the spotlight he craves.
Well, the GOPWe got 8 years of the Clintons thanks to Perot pulling this style of nonsense and now Paul wants to reprise it. wasn't going to invite Paul anyway. He wasn't going to get a primetime speaking slot, and even if he had, the Paul bashers will be complaining about it anyway.
Now he's doing his own thing and the haters are still bitching about it.
Paul is not on any ballots nor has he endorsed anyone. How will he affect the race?
