McCain: I would rather "lose" the election than..........
SteveK1 | 10-15-08 | SteveK1

Posted on 10/15/2008 11:55:22 AM PDT by stevek1

I heard on our local Tampa radio station this morning 970 Radio:

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

If this is true, than many of us regret sending a contribution to McCain.

This reminds me of a boxer fighting in the last round needing a KNOCKOUT to win the fight. Instead he jabs and dances.

It's better to go down in flames with honor, according to McCain.

It is NOT dishonorable to tell the truth about your opponent.It is a dishonor to the people not to.

I think that’s a fine thing to say. But there is nothing dishonorable in attacking Obama on Wright or Ayers, or pointing out his constant playing of the race card, or his socialist leanings, etc. In fact, to do so is a service to the American people that isn’t being provided by the media as it should.

McAssHat - the consequences of you losing an “honorable” campaign are MUCH bigger than you.

Did you think he would say he'd rather run a DISHONORABLE campaign?

This is one statement among many...get a grip.

McCain would rather "lose" the election than conduct a dishonorable campaign.

Problem is, Sarah would rather win than run a limp-wristed "bipartisan" campaign. My sense is that Sarah is attacking where John McCain is not, and she is doing this because, in reality, she is running for 2012, not just 2008.

I depends on which definition of “dishonorable” he means.

The media’s or the dictionary’s.

There won’t be no honor or dignity in being the man who blew an easy one and went on to lose to an empty suit ,
muslim cell who has been activated to destroy America.

If you don’t fight , John McCain , enjoy the rest of your years in pure shame.

If he defines dishonorable as attacking on all legitimate fronts, then he and anyone else running that kind of a campaign against a Democrat will lose.

Being aggressive with truth, no matter how dirty it is would not be like trying to say something false.

Does McCain have a guts issue here? I hope not.

Did you hear McCain say that, or was it a radio broadcaster’s misconstrued repeat of his “I would rather lose the election than lose the war”?

I disagree with your notion

Lets be honest, with the economy just having tanked, winning is next to improbable

In particular with how the MSM has blamed the entire thing on our side and deregulation

The aftermath of this election will be having a viable opposition that can compete in 2010 and 2012.

If McCain pulls everything out of left field he can, this will alienate those we will need to convert to our side in 2010 and 2012 when the socialists have full control
