Something seems fishy to me.
Why would all of the voters, who were plenty angry, and fought so hard to stop the McCain/Kennedy amnesty bill by calling their reps., etc., end up voting for McCain.
Something is just not quite right here.
The voters who x'd for John in NH were not the angry people you refer to. They were independents. In SC, Fred and Huck and Mitt took those angry voters.
By then, something called MOMENTUM began and with the steady drum beat 24/7 of the media telling voters (1) John McCain is the frontrunner. (2) John McCain is the only one who can beat Hillary. (3) John McCain is gold.
Voters don't want to waste their vote.
In short, those angry people are not the one who gave him the nomination for the most part. Politics is war. And it is dirty.
That is the question I have been asking myself for weeks.
It makes absolutely no sense.
Something seems fishy to me.
Most people have the ability to be more than a single issue voter... I have no idea how it came to be that McCain was able to become the most viable out of all the bunch that started but he did. I never had much use for McCain from the start as I go back to the 2000 campaign where we fought him tooth and toenail and thank God for SC they shut him down.
For some reason[s] the public just couldn’t get behind anyone of the other candidates. Some made splashes of grandeur when they came on the scene but their light dimmed rather quickly. Others never got out of the blocks to make a splash. Huckabee is a regional candidate that is finished.
We now or will have McCain as the candidate like it or not. Our chore now is to hold his feet to the fire as much as possible to to extract as many conservative committments as we can from him. In addition we need to spend a vast amount of energy of getting good Representatives/Senators elected to act as buffers and road blocks to his off the wall ideas.
My objective now is to defeat the Hillar/Obama candidacy. And it won’t be done by voting for either of them as some of the so called conservatives on this site are saying they may or will do. I have to much self respect to do that.
