They knew they'd lose credibility and be branded kooks.

Yep! That's why Rush isn't touching this, Hannity isn't touching this, National Review asks that the matter be dropped completely. But the biggest selling point for me was that Hillary wouldn't touch it. That's enough to lead me to believe that these allegations have no merit and continuing to pursue them would be chasing ghosts.

Plus, it isn't like this was a close, nail-biter of an election. McCain was soundly beaten.

I guess I should just accept the fact that Free Republic has its share of kooks and conspiracy theorists, always has, and it's good to be a Voice of Reason once in a while so that lurkers can see we're not all crazy.

Was it “chasing ghosts” that the left to this day says ‘Bush stole the election?’ It seems to me it was used for 8 long years to delegitimize Pres Bush.

I am not from the nice guy school of politics. That’s for losers.

"But the biggest selling point for me was that Hillary wouldn't touch it."

Sarah Palin was the selling point for me. In her attack role as a VP candidate she hit him with Ayers, Wright, Revco, Socialism, cut and run, unpatriotic and unfit for Commander in Chief but she never hinted at this. She touched on subjects McCain wouldn't but she never touched this. That sold it for me. She knew she'd be branded a kook and she didn't take the bait.

You are very dismissive of the fraud committed on a massive scale by ACORN in battleground states and the hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign campaign contributions that helped your candidate to win an election.

You fail to realize that this is not a gung-ho or even luke-warm forum to the McCain candidacy.

I would venture to say that most here want to see any & all unqualified candidates for POTUS DQ’d. Free Republic upholds the Constitution. We don’t want to see a man with a very long history of ties to Communist, Socialist, Leftists, and foreign interests take over control of America.

Quite frankly, even the Clintons are looking real good in comparison to what was just voted on.

If you think someone hired you to ve the voice patrol of the FREE Republic,
you’re wrong. Why don’t you ping JimRob and ask him, since it’s his form.

If this lawsuit bothers you, don’t come here.
If the other two lawsuits waiting at the SCOTUS bother you, don’t go there.
If the other lawsuits filed in other jurisdictions bother you, find another thread.
