The media would’ve loved to see ole Slick Willard nominated, and once he was, they’d have unleashed every single allegation and action he’s ever done — to remind Conservative Republicans he ain’t one of them — but is a flipflopping, soulless, liberal opportunist (and the media would’ve followed that one up with close scrutiny of his business practices, i.e. massive firings, his family’s refusal to serve in the military, and his religion, all of which would’ve turned off one GOP group after another and drastically harmed turnout. The GOP would’ve been in utter bedlam by November all the while the Dems would’ve made even greater pickups).
This was all the reason why I risked my account day after day screaming to the heavens trying to warn people on this guy when so many were willing to swallow the nightmare he would’ve been for us. I dislike McCain, I had little use for him, but it was appalling to inform people that as BAD as McCain was, Slick Willard was WORSE (and he would’ve picked a liberal RINO as a running mate, perhaps Crist of FL, which would’ve had the homosexual rumors flying like crazy).
