To be honest, I'm not all that sure he really wants to win. Get ready for President Obama (I'm getting sick already just thinking about it).
McCain is more interested in being “bipartisan” than in winning an election. He wants the Democrats to like him more than he wants the White House.
“Get ready for President Obama”
Super Mega, Face-turn-green, stomach pain, fall on the floor Barf Alert!!!!
The thought of Obamanation being President makes me cringe.
What is America thinking? Honestly...
McCain has never been in this to win. He is not a conservative. He is barely a republican. He should have switched over when the dems asked him. The malaise will begin in full on Jan. 20, 2009. The long nightmare will begin. The fall into the grips of full socialism is upon us.
Reagan is spinning in his grave.
He is starting to look like GHW Bush in 1992...not really giving a damn. :(
Stop with the “he doesn’t want to win” nonsense.
Things will get better. Kerry was ahead at this point going into the election. McCain needs to close the deal over these last few weeks. McCain is going up with ads hitting the Democrats and Obama on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We are going to war. Don’t get sick. Fight, write a letter to the paper, talk to friends who are political. Put a sign in your yard and a sticker on your bumper. Canvas on the weekend. There is so much more we can do beyond just watching the polls.
I have had that same feeling but haven't voiced it. He loses, he goes back to being a Senator and when he feels like it, retires from the rat race. He wins and he faces many years of criticism (he's finally figured out that the press won't be pulling for him.)
Ever since the economic meltdown, I feel like he lost his fire.
I wasn't happy about a McCain candidacy anyway because I know I'd be infuriated if he made it to the White House and started playing footsie once again with the Dems.
But I will vote for him, nonetheless, because he's a better choice than Obama. I'm just not sure that should he win, I'll be anything less than frustrated with his term as President, I don't think it will "help" the conservative cause in any way.
