Too bad McCain didn’t have the guts to do it.
That is the mantra of the right in this campaign isn’t it?
Unfortunately for the electorate, conservatism, capitalism and individual rights....McCain believes he is running an “honorable” campaign. Senator McCain...honor is defending this country and if you must be meaner, dirtier, stronger, more powerful than your opponent then DO IT. If Obama wins you won’t recognize this country. You may not have as many days left on this earth as the millions of other Americans who know why you fought for this country your whole life. Why give up the fight now? This is not an enemy you need to be cozying up with like some Stockholm Syndrome captive. You are not captive. You can and should be in charge and setting the tone of this race. If you fail to win....America fails to be a nation with capitalism as the driving engine of our economy—replaced with the infinite wisdom of Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Harry Reid and Barack Obama. America fails to be a nation strong enough to defend ourselves against foreign enemies...but strong enough to violate every American’s civil rights. America fails to be a nation of freedom....rather it slips into an era of slavery...enslaved to big government with a very select few big elite Democrats telling us what we can and can’t do. Slavery will return by different form. You need to fight like it’s our last fight....In 1941 we fought so German or Japanese didn’t become our national language. Now you must fight so Liberal code words of political correctness don’t become the only acceptable language in America.
Fight Senator Fight!!
If you run an “honorable” campaign against the product of Chicago machine politics, which Obama surely is, then you will lose. And I think you missed the point of this editorial: It is dishonorable and cowardly for McCain not to defend Sarah Palin’s honor. It’s the least he could do for his running mate, and the least he could do as a man.
Well said!
The Gore debacle was the first hijack attempt.
We are now in a second hijack attempt.
If survival in this instance can be defined as adhering to the spirit and letter of the US Constitution or succumbing to blatant socialism, we are now most certainly in a struggle for survival.
If so, this should not be viewed as a time for polite debate but rather viewed as a last political stand.
