No.
John McCain as the GOP nominee will cost Republicans 70 seats in the House, and 12 in the Senate.
McCain only appeals to people who hate Republicans.
That is who he will bring out, while many conservatives stay home.
Liberals will be out in record numbers to vote.
Liberals + anti-GOP moderates - conservatives = MASSIVE GOP LOSSES IN CONGRESS
McCain is going to turn the Democrat Wave into the Democrat Tsunami in November.
Agree
When we have blacks who vote purely on race, women voting on gender and liberals voting for McLame, what hope does this country have?
Logic can not prevail under those circumstances.
Go Mitt!
Hey look, are you just posting the same message over and over again on every thread? McCain is not part of the story and is not even mentioned, yet I see your same post from other threads.
McCain is the story, because he will cause the GOP to get blown out of Congress completely.
The election calculus does not lie.
This is why this story is so off.
There it is.
If he is the republican candidate we won't even have to stay awake for the election results.
We can just read what happened in 1964.
Except this year might be worse.
.
Vietnam? Dems still fighting there. Who’s winning.
Ping.
They haven't got the slightest clue. Of course, that comes from burying their heads in the sand and steadfastly refusing to see what is really happening.
I've always been optimistic that this was going to work and the acceleration of progress over the past several months has amazed even me.
This isn't over yet. but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel growing brighter and brighter.
Whatever. May I suggest decaf today?
McCain is going to campaign AGAINST conservatism in the general election.
You think that’s going to be good for conservatives?
You want to sweep this under the rug.
Why is that?
Do you want conservative Republicans blown out of office, too?
You’re correct that the light is growing brighter and brighter and you’re in a much better position to see that than any of us.
I believe what sickens more than anything is that both of them have to know in the back of their minds that their position is wrong on this but they’re sticking to it because of the political angle and our country be damned.
Yesterday on FNS, Chris Wallace played the clip of Hillary basically calling Gen. Petraeus a liar when he was in front of the Senate Committe, then asked her in his interview if she still felt that way and she weasled and never answered the question, she was pathetic.
BTW, I’ve been meaning to ask if you wore two pair of socks during the snow storm in Baghdad last month? :-)
We can just read what happened in 1964.
I was thinking 1996, but yeah, that's probably even a better analogy. I've ceratinly heard about that one.
For the Democrats, it is. The Left will throw an all-out screaming fit if the rhetoric changes one bit toward acknowledging US success on the battlefield, and it could cost them just enough defections to the Green Party to tip the election to the Republicans. Clearly, the top Democrat candidates aren't suffering any MSM backlash (ha!) for making these patently false statements, so there is no downside for them in continuing to do so.
That's the whole story in a nut shell, you're exactly right!
Spawn of the Summer of Love bleeding into the Me Generation. Selfish and power-hungry. And if our electorate is too blind to see this, we're all in trouble.

LOL - a few of us (military and civilian) were chatting in the PX this evening. Someone mentioned that the brand of socks they sell in there is inferior. The conversation turned to the quality of socks and what the best brands are and even some descriptions. My friends probably wondered why I was suppressing laughter. They're not aware of my "FR Schtick." ;-)
Uh, the American armed forced withdrew from Vietnam, and a Democratic Congress cut off funding for the South Vietnamese Government. That's when the North overran Saigon and the US Embassy became a helipad.
The lesson here is not to repeat that mistake in Iraq by withdrawing troops and withdrawing support to the Iraqi government too quickly.
But most of all, the Democrats need to find some new problems to complain about (which won’t be too difficult), preferably ones that voters won’t have to be laboriously convinced of first.
Not that I like helping my enemies but here's a 'New Problem' to complain about for the Dems, and IMO winning issue....
Evey Child Needs A Pony, But Doesn't Have One!(cough) 'Studies show' that 99.99% of all prison inmates never had a Pony as a child. So the Dems can argue that to end crime for good, all we have to do is ... give very kid a PONY!!!
Its much simpler that trying to explain 'Universal Health Care, And The Costs Involved'. Or trying to push down 300 million Americans throat the idea that.. 'Communism Is Really, Really, REALLY Good For You'.
It's just... 'Here's A Free Pony, You'll Never Go To Prison.'
(I trust Hill or Barry aren't lurking)
