He’s not like-able. He’s a bitter old senile Liberal who should have joined the ‘Rat party.

Why McCain Lost

Because the Amerikan Sheep deserve every disaster that is about to befall them, and I will not defend them.

[Balding_Eagle]

20% of Conservatives voted Obama.

60% of his targeted voters, Hispanics, Independents, soft Democrats voted Obama.

He was a fool who believed his own nonsense.

If that doesn’t sum up his problems, nothing will.

[kingattax]

in spite of any issues with the way the mccain campaign was run, considering the rampant ACORN fraud, anyone that believes we saw a legitimate result enjoys watching pigs fly.

[JudyinCanada]

For what it’s worth, I think that the media started their campaign to have Obama elected way back when they intensified their demonization of President Bush.

After they had completely destroyed President Bush they passed the baton to Obama, who then proceeded to link McCain to Bush in almost every other sentence.

The Republican ticket didn’t stand a chance.

[starlight]

true, ACORN, along with the judge who allowed a park bench to be a voter address, helped skew the election.

Newsweek has an article about what a lousy campaign McCain ran — i think they are right — it was a snoozer.

[Saundra Duffy]

AFter he chose Palin, he should have defended her, but he preferred to throw her out to the wolves. I am disgusted with McCain.

[VoiceOfBruck]

All basically true, but the MSM has been savaging President Bush since he took the oath of office, and likewise McCain and Palin since they were nominated, while heaping praise on the corrupt and inept Obama and refusing to investigate or report on his substantial flaws. Hard to overcome that.

One silver lining in all this mess. The ‘Rats are concentrated in one Big happy Orgy. Wait till the
feces hits the fan and they get blamed for it all. Silver lining goes away if the blind, stupid, immoral sheeple keep re-electing their jailers. Then
we ALL screwed BIGTIME... what a nasty blight on us all these leftards are...Good thing God loves them because I’m having a real hard time of it lately.

McCain campaigned as a moderate from the Center. He lost because the Liberals who he was trying to appease had a real Leftist to vote for.

William Butler Yeats » The Second Coming:

TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Reading this poem, it's so appropriate, it's scary.

An “honorable” campaign? What is honorable about essentially allowing an apparent Marxist win the POTUS? “Stand up and fight” indeed! Reverand Wright is “off the table”! Financing fraud. Voter fraud. Accusing the US military of deliberately killing women and children. Alliances with enemy’s of the state who essentially own The One. A man who could not get a security clearance who can now dole em’ out to whomever the hell he wants. Gee, do you think the LA Times or anyone who was at the good ole Kalidi bash holds in their hand a nice blackmail (so to speak) card? Sure, very honorable.

[RedMonqey]

Immigration...

Global Warming...

Bailout...

Taxes...

“Moderate”...

Ant one of them could have inspired working class blue staters but noooo! McCain betrayed the party on the wrong issues.

[Rational Thought]

Maybe...

But, I still think 0 was a week candidate who would have been beaten badly by a true Conservative.

The McCain Campaign was terrible.

He got fewer votes.

Not every election is about national security: The GOP nominated John McCain because they thought he was going to be strong on prosecuting the War on Terror. The problem? That wasn't the issue this election revolved around.

I agree with this and consider it a huge mistake because it sapped precious time and money from McCain's campaign. People that still care about the war on terror in 2008 are not going to vote for a liberal that will weaken our position in the Middle East. They are going to vote McCain, and spending time and money on people who are already going to vote for you is idiotic.

That money and time should have been spent on three groups: People who are undecided over all, Republicans who are wavering in their support in other areas (who might not vote at all), or Democrats who are wavering in their support of Obama because of things like taxes.

If you added up all of the time McCain and Palin wasted talking about terrorism, the war on terror, even people like Ayers, and instead had used that time and money to hammer Obama over the tax issue, I think you could have picked up quite a few undecideds, as well as the Reagan Democrats, and it would motivate a lot of Republicans as well.

McCain didn't just lose by 7 million votes to Obama, McCain had over 5 million votes less than Bush in 2004. I have a feeling many of those people worry about taxes and the economy.

[NotchJohnson]

I have seen a few Presidential hopefuls personally. He is the one that I actually did not like. He seems like a tired angry little man. Why does he not retire (along with many politicians)? He is useless to the GOP and actually hurts us.
