What's going on at the McCain campaign?

[ConservativeMan55]

McCain said at his rally today

“Paying taxes as a badge of honor isn’t patriotic.. It’s just plain dumb”

I liked that line!

Protesters taken out at McCain’s rally....

Now the protestors trying to take over. Jacka*ses

McCain does seem to have gone soft over the past week. It’s at the worst time, too, because the drive-by media are blaming Republicans for the financial meltdown, ignoring the fact that it’s a mostly ‘Rat scandal heavily involving numerous Obambi cronies.

McCain should have been out of the box immediately with ads linking Obambi and his thug associates with Fannie Mae.

Chris Cox goes under the bus.

Look, a lot of guys wanted Cox as Veep. Methinks they’re having second thoughts right about now.

Best,

Chris

If it’s the McCain campaign saving money I’d understand. But I think they got scared after the lipstick on a pig deal.

The Iraq issue has been around for a long time. Maybe they're waiting until the election is a little closer to hammer away on Obama-yo-mama's bad decision making?

McCain-Palin should be bringing up the potential violation of the Logan Act now, though, IMO.

Mccain is kicking some butt now!!

[ConservativeMan55]

Agreed!!

[Salamander]

You betcha....Piper’s the man....:)

John McCain just linked Obama very explosively to Fannie Mae
in Iowa’s State Fair...it was a very devestating indictment
that Obama uses the former Fannie Mae director as part of his economic team! McCain also suggested bluntly that Bush should fire the SEC chairman!

[Salamander]

Protesters shouted down, hauled off and then LAUGHED at.

Perrrrrrrfect.

[ConservativeMan55]

But when it came up a week or so ago McCain should have immediately put out an ad before the day was up.

[JustaCowgirl]

Unfortunately he had a breathing fire speech, but didn’t yet have the breathing fire manner. He needs to catch fire. He also needs to let Sarah Palin take some of this on, because I guarantee you she will roast them until they crackle.

[puroresu]

That’s good! Now he needs to run some ads on this. A lot of ads that name names!

[ConservativeMan55]

Rush is now saying this EXACT same thing that this Vanity was all about!

Rush thinks they’re going soft too.

[impeachedrapist]

Okay, you and Rush agree. Can’t say that I do. Just yesterday on Hannity’s radio show, Sean asked Sen. McCain if he was going to point out Obama is the second largest collector of Fannie Mae contributions. McCain’s response was “Oh, yeah!” Not in a surprised way, but in a matter of fact way.

[FreeReign]

After the lipstick on a pig thing I think the campaign got scared.

As I pointed out correctly a few days back..."Obama called McCain/Palin policies a pig. With all the dumb and wrong things that Obama says, we don't need to take the guy out of context. It can only backfire".

[ConservativeMan55]

Rush may have read this thread lol!

People have the attention spans of goldfish, generally.
The closer to the Big Day that the heavy artillery is dragged out, the better.

McCain is a Celt at heart.

Remember the scene in Braveheart where Wallace had the line of pikesmen waiting for the cavalry charge that technically should have easily annihilated them, and kept saying “Hold!” “Hold!” “Hold!” and then, at the very last second when the cavalry could not recover or retreat, they raised their pikes and impaled the whole freaking army like so much shishkabob?

Great successful tactic, that.
