John McCain has read the riot act to members of his own campaign staff for their defeatist attitude, making clear that they must join him in fighting all out to win the presidential election.
Mr McCain has now rolled out a defiant new stump speech in Colorado, where he roused a 5,000 strong crowd with a call to arms, making clear that if he is to go down, he will go down fighting.

[McCain] "crafting two hard-hitting themes, which aides say he will carry through the rest of the campaign: that handing Mr Obama undiluted power will lead to a tax raid on the middle class and put America at risk of attacks from terrorists and rogue nations."

He needs to lose his temper with the MSM first, then his RINO aides second.

A little Palin rubbing off. She’s been on the attack from the get go. The current news cycle suggests that there is a rift between Palin and McCain. This shows otherwise. McCain is also probably ticked off with all the moderates that have been stabbing him in the back lately. He is seeing how solid the conservative base is and how fragile the moderates truly are. Therefore, get the base even more motivated.
The best defense is a good offense. 0bama will begin to stumble in these last few days.

What’s with all these crap Brit articles with all this misinformation in them?

What are the Brits seeing that the rest are not? Unless this Brit propaganda to make it seem that the McCain camp are at each others throat while Obama is surfing in Hawaii.

This post points out the obvious: that the alleged ‘going rogue’ by Sarah Palin is the nothing but the same rebellion against defeatist aides that John McCain himself has embraced.
GO SARAH! GO JOHN!
To: advance_copy
I don’t know about John losing his temper with his aides but I do think he reinforced the theme that they must be behind him and Sarah 100% and not talk to the MSM to undermine the campaign. in addition John and Sarah are closing the gap. Tonight Zogby confirms this.

“The friend” drives me crazy. So, is it a source or not? Regardless, who cares what another country's media thinks about the election.
They cannot vote here, thank God, so just shut it already.

Oh... Now McCain has gone Rogue?

The important thing is for McCain not to start acting like a loser and it seems some of his staff are not being helpful in that regard. I am not buying into the polls, and especially not those for this particular election. He needs to stay on message and stay on the attack without seeming desperate. I try to find the good in things and this is no exception. While at the linked site I noticed a very nice ad for an opera singer. I have not yet heard her sing, but she has renewed my love of opera............her name is Katherine Jenkins.........enjoy. :)

Does anyone see what the MSM are trying doing here?
They are systematically reversing the tables.

They got to hit Obama with Wright, James Cone and Black Liberation Theology. Palin and Rudy have mentioned Wright, and the Dems had no comeback. It is his religion. There is no downside. Expose the facts, and a racist cant call you a racist.
They can also repeat that 100% under Obama, everyone’s taxes will increase when the Bush Tax cuts expire in 2011. If McCain really wants to win they would bring back Wright along with James Cone and Black Liberation Theology.

I have heard her. She has a lovely voice. Reminiscent of Teresa Stratas. Goes to prove you don’t have to be a fat cow to be a diva, huh?
