BP,
What has me flummoxed both with McCain and GWB is the power of the Presidency The Podium and It's Microphone has not been used properly since Ronald Reagan and even Clinton.
Case in Point...
The Anti-War Wackos. Murtha, Durbin. Why wasn't their rallies with the CIC even at the smallest Guard Facility and then go on local talk shows in that area and stick it to them. Call them out, put them on the defensive for their actions.
Have we become that B@!!!e$$ as a society to try to sway them into what is right? The pressure to bear could be made unbearable, but it would take a 24/7 Clintonian Campaign Strategy. Obviously GWB and McCain are and have been unwilling to do this. I hate to say it it equivivates to surrender if you don't.
McCain is doing nothing to put the blame where it belongs, and I have no idea why. Governor Palin is going to have to drag him to victory and that is a sorry state of affairs.
She has already brought him back twice and he is fumbling the ball again.
I can’t disagree at all. Bush hasn’t even gone on Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity to lobby his case for anything which the democrats oppose.
Bush simply refuses to fight this opposition unless they are foreigners. McCain enjoys screwing over dirty Republicans but he holds his tongue when the dirt is covering a Democrat. Some asset to the party, huh?
McCain puts bi-partisanship above the party. That is like putting non-violence above your team in a football game. Not a great way to win.
