oh, believe me, I’m praying for mercy on our nation to spare us from an 0bama regime.

McCain’s unwillingness to fight is frustrating everyone.

According to a political analyst, McCain would rather "lose" the election than conduct a dishonorable campaign.

The problem is in the meaning of dishonorable.

The Maverick's version mean's playing nice with his friends the Democrats, you know, the one's he continually reaching across the aisle for.

My version means you lead by conservative positions on the issues, you admit when you are wrong, and you also attack your opponent when he is wrong.

If he wants to be a good loser like Bob Dole, then he deserves to be thrashed. John McCain is doing everything and then some not to win because he thinks taking the fight to his opponent, to quote his words, would be "dishonorable." McCain has sealed his own fate with those words.

Sorry, I meant this ISN’T MCCAIN’S own words. This is just some political analyst on a radio station the OP heard.

In all probability McCain will get his wish. Many supporters of the McCain/Palin ticket would like to know what he means by "dishonorable campaign." If it means continuing to be a passive, weak campaigner, we can look forward to the Obama/Biden ticket for the next four years.

Where is the link to the story? And this isn't a direct McCain quote.

It's not. It's media skewing. And look at all the drama queens jumping up and down and freaking out.

Over something the media says.

It's discouraging to see how many people just blindly believe the crap the media spews.

If this is more disinformation spread by Libs, I apologize to McCain. But my dander is up, and I’m really mad. Just spent a half hour chasing two bad dachshunds up the street...they got out of the pen for the millionth time. Came home to find the brats at the front door before me. Logged on to FR and found this worrisome post. So abject apologies to all.

Agree. This election is VITALLY important and my fear is being shut out of Congress for the rest of my lifetime (me being 26)

Thank God that GWB got John Roberts onto the Supreme Court or else I’d be real depressed

At his current polling, he rather may get his wish.

If he shows up again as McMarshmallow, rather than hitting a grand slam tonight, it's over.

AGAIN, MCCAIN DID NOT SAY THIS! A political analyst on some radio station the OP heard this morning was giving his OPINION on why McCain won’t go after Obama on certain issues, etc.

We are not asking him to do anything dishonorable. We are merely asking him to broadcast truth. Are we talking honor and dishonor here, or are we talking PC. The marxist obama is a socialist. This much is clear. Paint him as one.

I, for one, can’t watch these debates. As Morris put it, he’ll be trying to nail jello to a wall, and I hope he finds a way to do it.

I’m thrilled that Sarah’s in NH today! Everyone I’ve talked to here in MA is delighted, too. The glow spreads south from NH. Hope somebody posts an account of the proceedings and pics!

I don’t have time to slog through the comments, but I would point out this is a statement by a “political analyst” not a direct quote from McCain.

So calm down, folks!

uNWILLINGNESS TO FIGHT! Have you seen any Republicans fighting for MCCain? Have you seen any talkshow host fight for McCain except hannity? Have you heard or seen any congressman fight on TV to back McCain except Liberman!!!

He has taken a lot from the media, talkshows and even from his own supporters...Meanwhile CNN,ABC,CBS,MSNBC they all only talk bad about John and Sarah, Every newspaper takes everythig he says and throws up on John!!!

HE IS THE ONLY MAN WHO HAS FOUGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY!!!

Spineless people...with friends like you...well you know the rest
