Below is what I just emailed Sen. McCain and his campaign director, advisers, whether they like it or not.
Dear Senator McCain,
We wish to thank you for your decades of service to this country! You are a real hero and a gentleman, seen through your concession speech. We admire your tenacity and endurance, at your age!
We see No REAL Mandate on Obama’s victory!!
You are SO close to clinching it! Few pundits are talking about the thin 3% edge Obama had in popular votes. Almost half of the people distrust him. There‘re still a lot of us who could organize for a strong come back years from now!
It’s easy to start the blame game & there’re too many factors which contribute to your unfortunate loss.
If we are objective, we need to ask, if we did not have this financial storm, could you have won? I have to answer, Yes!
If Bush had not been such an unpopular President and you are in the same party, could you have won? SURE!
Then if MSM had not be so lopsided in cheering for and aiding Obama, could you have won? Yes!
If Obama had not raised that huge a war chest, could you have won? Yes again!
If Obama was not a black man, everything else being equal, could you have won? Likely!
If you have been in the body of a 50 year old and could talk half as well as the Messiah, could you have won, possibly, according to exit poll.
If half of the Americans have not been so brain-dead, brainwashed or greedy (to get government welfare), could you have won it, again, yes!
Secondarily, we also feel that that the following factors contributed to your loss. Please be open-minded.

Exit Poll showing Conservatives Still Outnumber Liberals, we must not cower in fear, but get better organized to put our people, one by one, into Statewide and local offices. Let’s take a brief breather, but back in the trenches soon!
Stay vigilant!
Is the “Republican” party really a “Conservative” party?
Isn’t there a real difference?
It is a mixture, since we opened th big tent, Gays republicans,... flood in. There has been this power struggle. if we have more participation, we can again clean it up.
The GOP Platform overall is conservative, but do Republicans stay true after they get in office? Often no!
We need to support principled Republicans. I have had many wishy washy Republicans who want me to endorse or help them, I turn them down. No time to waste.
If we fail, maybe it’ time we form out own party, though the chance of winning is even smaller, at least in the beginning.
Much more can be said.
In hindsight, we should not had counted on the PUMAS, though a % of them did side with us.
We need to activate & tai more people to Digg earlier, which is one of many ways to get people involved.
I stoll find many apathetic conservatives, who whiles or criticize more than actual helping.
Obama got a vast machine that works in the grassroots level.
After Sarah being trashed, I want to scream, shame on your staff trashing the running mate who lifted up your boring, half-dead campaign!
Shouldn’t we also work on fixing the primaries ‘system’ so we don’t have 2 purple/blue states going first and giving the wrong candidate momentum?
So if they want to keep putting the same losers up..we should organize a political safari and target the RINOS. Any ideas on the most effective way that we can do this?
He peed on his base and they voted for him. He pandered to the enemy and they rejected him. He is a fool. He is a destructive fool. He is a dangerous fool.

McCain says:
"Why don't you shut your political pie hole?"
Stifling the www? Online Freedom of Speech Act (H.R. 1606)
"1606 is needed because federal courts have ordered the Federal Election Commission to regulate "electioneering communications" on the Internet because of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (McCain-Feingold). If H.R. 1606 fails to become law, your Web site or blog could be shut down for the 30 days prior to a primary election and the 60 days prior to a general election should you express "electioneering communications."
John McCain, enemy of free speech
I am sick of having to support Rhinos, less of 2 evils! They are demoraling!
Wow! what a list you compiled! Thanks
Sure. I found all those links on FR. There are a lot more. I have a list compiled by someone else in 2000 which is also impressive.
Frankly, I won’t have invested so much time had it not been Gov. Palin.
She is the only reason I voted for McCain. Period!
Bush has a great responsibility too in his runaway spending, huge deficits, & how can you sell a Republican message when action speaks louder than words?
You are exactly right. The fact that it is politically incorrect on the right to call Bush the socialist/globalist he is has hamstrung conservatism and truth in general. I’m not so much talking about here on FR or the internet in general but politicians and pundits. We owe a debt of gratitude to Sarah Palin and Joe Wurzelbacher for making ‘socialist’ an everyday term.
Amen to that. I think something good will come out of this. The GOP needs a major overhaul! Sarah could be an impetus! It’s a fight for the soul of the Party !
It’s a fight for conservatism. If we can’t buck the GOP establishment elites we have to create a grassroots exodus to a new party. Conservatism works every time it’s tried. Real conservatism has broad appeal that cuts right past the middle and deep into the Dem base. Reagan proved it. Prop 8 in CA proves it. Bobby Jindal proves it. Sarah Palin proves it.
Frankly, I need to pay more attention to check out Bobby Jindal. How good is his communication skills, in range of 0-10, 10 meaning Ronald Reagan. LOL
We must have a candidate for 2012 who can articulate & good in debate!
Sarah is great but i am concerned of her lack of basic knowledge, Africa, common knowledge things.
You're kidding. You aren't buying that propaganda are you?
Both of her parents are school teachers. Sarah attended four colleges and has a degree. She has five children, one graduated high school, one is about to, one will in a couple of years and the other is in grade school. Do you seriously think she doesn't know Africa is a continent not a nation?
