McCain’s campaign has sent an incoherent message about 0bama.
It has failed to define him.
What good is talking about William Ayers or ACORN if the campaign doesn’t use these associations to draw a conclusion about 0bama?
McCain needs to use not one, but rather the aggregate of 0bama’s influences in life to bring him into focus. Frank Marshall Davis, Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Saul Alinsky, ACORN, The Democratic Socialists of America, The New Party. What do they all have in common?
The answer: a dangerous, radical, far left ideology.
McCain must make this about ideology, and take 0bama’s associations as instructive. He should highlight that Saul Alinsky taught radicals to cut their hair, put on a suit, and take down the government from the inside, and 0bama was so versed in Alinsky’s tactics that he taught them to ACORN activists.
McCain’s ACORN ad reveals that 0bama taught for ACORN, but it never reveals the substance of what he taught.
The substance is what we need to understand 0bama. The substance is what makes it tangible.
McCain needs to call 0bama a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A clean-cut radical with very little papertrail infiltrating the system in order to destroy it.
Exposing 0bama’s radical agenda and properly identifying it as Socialism would be enough to ensure his defeat. It is what McCain must do.
I hate to say it, but I told you so!
As usual, Rush is right!
Spot on pissant, that was El Rushbo’s best commentary in about a week, he finally is starting to point out that “moderates” mean losing, and the DC Intelligentsia are completely out of touch with Conservatism.
Kristol and Brooks got the guy they wanted, it wasn’t what they wanted...which is fairly typical.
That is also why Moderates never run campaigns...
Great! Rush is a national treasure!
But here’s the real problem. Real conservatives voting for people like Ford, the first Bush, Dole, the second Bush, ‘cause that’s all we had to vote for and that just gives the “blue bloods” more power. We should stand up and say “Nominate a RINO and we’re going somewhere else.”
McCain’s a reach across the aisle and hand them the wallets of all Conservatives kinda guy. He’s not likely to change.
A clear conservative choice was what we needed.
An “anchor on the right” were the words I used.
Jindal 2012!
It's not like Rush to bitch and moan about the past.
Enough!
We've got a Marxist to defeat!!
The following is a re-comment, in part. I’ll try it here to see what kinds of responses it gets, if any.
Why bother voting? First, the GuilianiGirls/Fredheads insulted and falsely accused me out of wanting to participate for a long time.
But after much consideration, I grudgingly decided to vote for our globalist commie sympathizers for the sake of having at least somewhat of a national defense.
Now older women in my County offices keep putting me off from doing a change of address. A couple of years ago, they denied me a mail-in ballot, supposedly due to “discrepancy.” There was no discrepancy. As a nearly universally despised, clean-cut, typical “male” who has served and is not rich, I’m legally eligible to vote but not allowed to vote unless (maybe) I complain to commissioners, wait much longer at the Clerk’s office, squawk to the local press or whatever.
Our whole Nation is corrupt. And without a Justice Dept. being allowed to deal with local official misconduct (due to liberaltarian policies, “states’ rights,” unconditional trust in local justice system officials and the like), well...
You reap what you sow.
Time for McCain to go on another trip with Lindsey to “Brokeback Canyon” and refurbish himself for the stretch run.
We’ve been saying this all along about McCain. It’s been like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Rush IS right, but I’ll be damned if I’ll help him drag Yosemite Sam McCain an inch. I don’t support and will not vote for a liberal posing as a conservative who won’t even fight for the conservatives ready and willing to do battle on his behalf. It’s perverse.
I have a Dem friend who told me during the primaries that he would likely vote for McCain.
I knew better.
The "news" media have steered him away from McCain and Palin as easily as ever.
This friend could be a McCain voter if McCain would make something of Obama's hatred of America and our precious military, his duplicity on anything financial, and his voluntary embrace of all things collectivist.
.
Yep. The blue bloods ought to work harder at this, give ‘til it hurts and all that, or they’ll come out of this looking like fools. The main boost McCain got was from Sarah-cuda. History is there for any who bothers to study it.
But now, my FRiend, let’s kick Zero’s you-know-what!
In the (paraphrased) words of one honorable Mr. Miyagi - "you karate do yes - or you karate do no. You karate do maybe - walk middle of road, get squashed like bug."
Let's forget about redefining conservatism (compassionate, centrist...). It is what it is.
Kristol and Brooks are examples of what is wrong with the inside the Beltway/New York media elites - they are totally out of touch with the rest of America.
One example was illegal immigration. Kristol and Brooks are all out for illegal immigration and cheap labor. Kristol lives in the wealthy suburb of McLean Virginia in a $1.6 million dollar house off the Potomac River where he will never see an illegal alien. He insults the rest of the American people who are against illegal immigration 80-20 by calling them racist yahoos, while a few miles away in the outer suburbs neighborhoods and towns are taken over by illegals who block the sidewalks, urinate and defecate in yards, kill people while driving DUI, make up most of the gangs, and generally make life unlivable.
As long as the Republicans listen to the likes of Kristol and Brooks and Kondracke instead of the real people, they will wander in the wilderness.
McCain is losing because he’s old, an old white guy.
McCain never bothered to leave the SENATE FLOOR!!!
Cool. The moderate GOP weenies are throwing themselves under the bus. That way we don’t have to when we revamp this party.
