if mccain won, at least our troops would have a commander in chief they could trust. people forgot about this completely
You cannot win a war when you loose the voters. I remember back 2007 saying that we need a ‘real conservative that can communicate’ and I got lots of angry replies saying that communication didnt matter. Well as 2007-2008 congress approval ratings dived many freepers rejoiced, yet polls showed voters were going to vote straight democrat. Democrats kept the focus on GWB . Voters , right or wrong, see the president as the entire government (it’s simple), and GWB gave that impression in September with Bailout bill, and 70% thought republicans still ran congress. Did you see GWB or McCain attack democrats (prior to October 2008) the way democrats attacked GWB?
But my point wasnt which was the worse of two evils which was clearly McCains argument, which lost. My point was “did those republicans deserve to win?” based on their actions or dis-actions?” See my tagline?
