Why McCain Will Win

Why McCain Will Win

For several months now, before the polls were in a dead heat, before Joe the Plumber, before Obama let it slip he’s a socialist with Marxist tendencies, even before he revealed his plan to make the bitter and clingy unemployed by bankrupting the coal industry, I have been predicting a McCain win on November 4th. Now, as the campaigning comes to a close, I am more confident than ever.

In the simplest of terms McCain will win because he is the better, more decent man. Obama, not having those virtues, relied on hype and hoped celebrity would give people the impression of greatness. Obama’s celebrity strategy did make an impression–one of arrogance and elitism, exactly the things in Washington with which we’re disgusted and rejecting. McCain’s victory will rely on a number of reasons but ultimately it’s because he is a vote for our future, while Obama is a vote for wallowing in victimhood.

Bottom line: John McCain will prevail because we have grown tired of men who think more of themselves than they do of us.

Despite his efforts to remain as blank a slate as possible, in the last few months we’ve actually learned quite a few things about Barack Obama, and Americans we don’t like what we see. His arrogance and presumption reeks of elitist snobbery. We’ve endured an Obama presidential seal,“O-Force One,” a Styrofoam-pillared Greek temple, and an infomercial replete with pseudo-Oval Office replica and Really Presidential Looking desk. In other words, Obama insists he looks the part so he insists we give it to him. On November 4th Obama will find we are not quite as shallow as he thinks we are.

I don’t hold much hope that McCain can overcome the extensive cheating that’s going on. That’s why the ‘Rats are so confident. They know they stole it.

Have had trouble connected to FR — Isn’t there a back up site on Yahoo or somewhere just in case?

I hope she is right also. If Obummer wins our troops need to demand to come out of Iraq and Afganistan. They do not have America;s support and America does not deserve their support. Also,this will be another election those that fight for us do not have their ballots counted. If Obummer goes in office I will have Jeremiah Wrights sentiments!We do not deserve any better.>

A lot of us bitter clingers just refuse to give up. Bill Kristol, Fred Barnes, Tammy Bruce, Ezra Levant and yours truly. Yeah, the Democrats will cheat, no doubt. But that's why I think its gonna be different the MSM wants to report tonight. They have no idea what is happening in America.

I agree with your attitude. Bruce's statement is based on the way we used to chose political leaders, beginning when people used candles and quills to write their histories, and wore wigs when they went to meetings.

But focusing on the character of public officials first and foremost, has been cut out of our body politic, as if it were a cancer. I hope there is enough left to defeat this fraud of a candidate, and fraud of a man, Barack Obama. But at this point on this day, I wouldn't bet on it. Alas.

You betcha. I’m not believing what I heard from my own mother in TEXAS. While that may not seem at all like a big deal, it is. It is because she told me that there was heavy early voting. I have a feeling it wasn’t in Obama’s favor either. Yep, my feeling is that we’re having another, to quote the late Peter Jennings “a temper tantrum”.

I’d like to believe this, but .... I voted in Northern Virginia this morning, and I have never seen the lines so long. In ‘04 it took me 15 minutes to vote; this morning it took 1 1/2 hours. Now the bad news: as far as I could see (and judge) likely Obama supporters including youths and minorities, outnumbered likely McCain supporters ~ 20:1.

That's precisely the reason that we lose ground: the inherent characteristic of decency. We don't cheat and we've mistakenly believed that that characteristic has been present in all voters and people in authority. But recent history has shown us what we are up against.

Undecideds are so high this year because Obama has managed to convey a message to voters that defying him will get you punished.

If IBD is correct as of their final poll, we need to hope & pray that many Democrats also understand this.

I’m with you. Just saw the lines of young voters in some of the cities on TV’s across america for the last 1 hour and I can already tell the signs. Stay strong and true to the conservative message despite what happens. We shall return once again in 2010.

Amen to that!

Rom 12:3
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Regardless of the outcome, the more votes for McCain the better, so make sure EVERYONE you know goes out and votes (for McCain, of course!)

I must admit, while I’m hopeful, I’m a little depressed because McCain is on the wrong side of all the traditional voodoo presidential predictors like the Redskins Last Home Game, The Weekly Reader poll, etc. I think the only one that favors McCain is the Lakers in the NBA Finals.

BUT there is one other that greatly favors McCain and that is my own Conventional Wisdom Rule which says the CW will produce a result that is completely opposite of what is predicted. CW has bad karma. HA!
