It all looks so foolish now; to think we ever thought that McCain ever had a chance. How could we have been so stupid?

I think we knew we were doing everything we could to do the equivalent of getting Rosie O'Donnell a gold medal in the pole vault when we campaigned for McCain, and I still contend that McCain would have been an unmitigated disaster as President.

Except for Palin, McCain's campaign theme could easily have been, "He's a better disaster than the other guy."

I don’t think all that many of us were ‘stupid’, necessarily — we were gulled by the vocal minority (unfortunately very present here on FR) who insisted that we hold our collective noses and push/pull/punch the “R” button/lever/chad even if Ronald McDonald was the name beside it.... (Yes, RM would have been a preferable candidate, in many ways)....

[April Lexington]

I think we just forgot to nominate a conservative candidate. All of the RINOs had their ducks in a row. Where was OUR candidate???

Stupid?
Hardly;
If you go back to FR at that time we were beating each other with sticks over supporting McCain or staying home in protest.

We didn't get much of a chance to discus other candidates (except between ourselves) because the party (whoever that may be) rushed Juan to the podium and assured us that the only possible alternates were the very two who would guarantee an anti-Christian jihad in any election (a Mormon and a Tent preacher who plays guitar).

Most conservatives knew for a fact that McCain was a losing bet - naming Sarah Palin to the ticket got our support - not our belief.

He actually did have a chance until the economy started falling completely apart and Bush pushed the bailout bill and McCain suspended his campaign to go and jump on the bailout bandwagon. Then of course there was the massive vote fraud, the total extent of which we can only guess at, it is probably the worst in the history of the country.
