To me, he’s just a smooth talking used car salesman from Chicago.....I don’t trust him and never will!
Because he had academia, the unions, Hollywood and the MSM actively campaigning for him. It's a wonder there are any conservatives left.
Zero won because his puppet master Ayers correctly calculated that it is possible to have a crypto-Communist elected in a two party political system, where principles are vague, avoided at all costs during the campaign, as each side tries to stand for everything good and against everything bad.
Through our children. Through culture. I myself am a musician/art-guy (hate the word “artist”). I have a responsibility, thru the gifts God gave me, to put the message out there. We know the old-guard media is dying. We have a chance to have our voices heard.
The only reason it was even somewhat close is because of Palin, a conservative. I’m still proud to be a conservative. Palin did not have enough time to undue what McCain did to the party of conservatives. Oh well. Maybe next time we’ll pick a conservative. Or not.
Bingo.
This is what we have to study:
Why did McCain get fewer votes?
And we have to really look at why, avoiding rhetoric, excuses or feeling like we’ve been ripped off.
And once we can answer those questions, honestly, with solutions and not hand wringing in mind, we have to work our butts off to work the right way.
Of course, it would help a lot if we had candidates that made the job worthwhile...
“Obama won because generally Americans have a short attention span......”
Yes....to short to save their own asses! “What was 9/11 again?”.... Our soldiers must be saying W.T.F. this morning....
God may have raised Obama like Pharoah, so He can judge him for his arrogance and show the world His power and salvation.
The primary reason Obama won is the sour state of the economy. Yes, he ran an excellent campaign, yes his leftist past was submerged in a centrist appeal, yes, he raised a lot of money. But McCain had a definite shot until the stock market went sour. Then, as usually happens, the voters punished the party in power.
You’re absolutely correct.
Obama had HUGE money, from untraceable sources.
A media blitz that was relentless, and legions of paid minions on the ground.
Now we will get to see where all that money came from.
I have a feeling the U.N. headquarters will be moving to the White House....sorry, I mean Jive House.
Nope they are stupid most of them..
Especially the women folk.. a hard saying but true..
They follow Oprah like she was Elvis.. like teenaged girls..
Most of them never grew up..
The ones that did grow up follow Ellen DeGeneris..
Like she was Rue Paul..
Nothing but moderates (RINO's), willing to reach across the aisle, act bipartisan, legislate record spending, expand the federal government, try to pass amnesty for illegals, allow Democrats to set the agenda and ruin the economy, never take a conservative stand for anything, nominate a charismatic conservative woman and then muzzle her.
Why should Americans vote for Republicans acting like Democrats when there are real Democrats on the ballot?
Bush is gone.
Cheney was totally silent during the whole campaign.
As evidenced in his concession speech, McCain is returning to the Senate having learned nothing.
All the RINO's who opined for years that we needed a McCain, abandoned him and the party and endorsed 0bama.
Several years ago Mitt Romney ran against Ted Kennedy for the Senate seat from Massachusetts. His campaign was nothing more than him promising to do more of the same things Kennedy was doing. Voters told him, "No, thanks. We've already got one of those."
A reasonable person would have learned from that. Rino's did not. Mitt did not.
And now New England has sent a clear message to the Republican party. Don't bother to run moderate Republican Rino's.
Today, there are NO Republicans in the House from any New England state.
Will the Republican Party get the message and get rid of these charlatan RINO's posing as the base of the party?
“You know what?... most democrats(rinos) ARE WOMEN.... “
sheesh, between Obama, Biden, McCain, and Palin, only Palin was conservative, and she was the only woman.
I have seen the figure of $1 billion spent by and for the Big O.
