“Fresh from a string of humiliating losses, McCain is actively working for more of the same in the hopes that the outcome will change.”

I’m guessing McQueeg won’t blame himself for our next big loss.

Moderates are lying bottom feeding manipulative scum. They’ll happily toss an election to the democrats and try to use fear to put seats in moderate hands the next time around.

Given McIdiot’s performance in the last election, it looks like that’s the game he’s playing. His success will be the republican’s loss.

Ok, there is no easy way to say this, so I am just going to say it...John McCain is now our ENEMY. He has declared this now openly. He is actively pushing this party back into the closet of the Rockefeller wing.

I call on all Republican consultants who have dirt on John McCain to come out now. This man needs to be embarrassed, exposed, banketed by scandal, and eliminated from any role in the Republican leadership. ANY dirt is fair game. Financial. Sexual. International. Military. Anything you've got, now is the time to bring it out. Enough is enough.
