You Guys Are Nuts [Andy McCarthy]
We have a disaster here — which is what you should expect when you delegate a non-conservative to make the conservative (nay, the American) case. We can parse it eight ways to Sunday, but I think the commentary is missing the big picture.
Here's what Obama needed to do tonight: Convince the country that he was an utterly safe, conventional, centrist politician who may have leftward leanings but will do the right thing when the crunch comes.
Now, as the night went along, did you get the impression that Obama comes from the radical Left? Did you sense that he funded Leftist causes to the tune of tens of millions of dollars? Would you have guessed that he's pals with a guy who brags about bombing the Pentagon? Would you have guessed that he helped underwrite raging anti-Semites? Would you come away thinking, "Gee, he's proposing to transfer nearly a trillion dollars of wealth to third-world dictators through the UN"?
Nope. McCain didn't want to go there. So Obama comes off as just your average Center-Left politician. Gonna raise your taxes a little, gonna negotiate reasonably with America's enemies; gonna rely on our very talented federal courts to fight terrorists and solve most of America's problems; gonna legalize millions of hard-working illegal immigrants.
McCain? He comes off as Center-Right .. or maybe Center-Left ... but, either way, deeply respectful of Obama despite their policy quibbles.
Great. Memo to McCain Campaign: Someone is either a terrorist sympathizer or he isn't; someone is either disqualified as a terrorist sympathizer or he's qualified for public office. You helped portray Obama as a clealy qualified presidential candidate who would fight terrorists.
If that's what the public thinks, good luck trying to win this thing.
With due respect, I think tonight was a disaster for our side. I'm dumbfounded that no one else seems to think so. Obama did everything he needed to do, McCain did nothing he needed to do. What am I missing
My principles will stand, the nation will not under that man (or either man). I’m smart enough to see that.
I’m sorry you can’t.
A vote for any third party is a wasted vote and a vote for Obama.
No matter what you believe.
Since 2000, any other freeper knows how to put their cursor over another persons name.
A vote for any third party is a wasted vote and a vote for Obama.
No matter what you believe.
Lemme guess, you didn’t ever play sports, did you? There comes a time when you GOT to be a TEAM PLAYER.
This race was over back in February.
At least that shrew Hillary is out of the race. That means something to me, and should for all of us.
McCain has no base, and nothing has changed or is likely to soon concerning that.
We are all losers here.
You fixed it! Thanks
If not enough people vote McCain, we end up with Obama.
Obama thanks you for your vote.
Your the one who needs to get over yourself, not us, you’re a constant attention whore.
Rush, Medved & Savage have said over & over on their programs over the past few days that McPain simply is not a fighter like he was when he was a P.O.W. they then played sound bites of Sarah ripping nObama & said she should be running & not him & mentioned that w/ out her this may have been over sometime ago.
Tonite he looked like an old man at times, kind of like in the great debate back in the 60’s?
What worries me is that many Conservatives in my area do not want to vote for McPain & said they will vote for a third party, and as we know a third party (unfortunately) has no chance at this point & time to win a Presidential election.
I still cannot figure out why the GOP chose McPain, our local radio talkshow host here in N.E. IL whom was recently invited to a CNN event w/ Lou Dobbs predicted the recent 2004 downfall of the Republican party & predicts that they may not exist 40 years from now because of the way they have turned.
It’s funny but has their ever been an election where the VP candidate is more popluar that the Presidential candidate? I’ve never seen this before.
Remember Socialism is on the rise as Hitler wrote back in 1917 & it’s a shame & ticks me off as the sheeple just don’t get it.
“Team player?” Is that supposed to convince me to vote against my interests and my convictions? I can be a team player, but my team is America, not the Republican Party. I don’t even know what game they’re playing anymore, except that the citizens appear to be the ones losing the game.
I know I don’t want to live in an America run like Obama’s cousin runs Kenya.
Your principles will allow that to happen.
You sir, are NOT a team player.
See? There you go again with your frontal attack. Not freeperish at all.
How many posts do you have? You should have about 20,000 if you’ve been here that long.
Would I be surprised if you had only 300 or so, and most of them over the last few months?
we know the libs have always been ripe for this, BUT Americans in general are not. Palin has brought new life to politics and the financial crisis is pissing them off, not making them non challenging or feeling defeated. the truth is out on congress and obama, republicans are asking to start with fannie and freddie and dems so no. dont make them look good, infact even more guilty. obama has FAILED. instead he has damn near started a revolution.
The sheeple aside for a moment... too many here on FR don't get this.
I don’t need to be. I’m an armed American.
And I’m free to vote for whoever the hell I want. And it certainly is not Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dee.
Freepers don’t use the word ‘whore’, let alone attach it to fellow freepers.
“If not enough people vote McCain, we end up with Obama.”
Apparently, no one at the RNC realized that sooner.
Yep. Fate blew an ill wind to America the day he had to walk away from the majority of Republicans because they were just plain stupid. Fred was spot on correct for about 98% of the issues.
Why are WE afraid to fight back with ACORN prosecutions and harassment?
I’m so sick of this “high road” crap some of you believe in.
To get the rat, you have to go down into his hole after him.
Pious platitudes will not save the nation from this dangerous radical Muzzie.
_____________________________-
You’re right. I Read ACORN had the authorities afraid to do anything.
We need to face reality. Unless McCain starts hitting Obama hard, we’re done.

Only McCain can do that- and his feeble attempts to fight back just ain’t cutting it.
REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.
RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’
Take off the gloves, McCain!
Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!
FReep HIM OUT!!

Obama went to Kenya on our tax dollar to campaign for the murderous Islam-backed Odinga:

You're right, I'm just doing this for the attention. I don't really care about the who rules the United States from here on out and just jolted you out of your happy place for the evil fun there is in it.
Sad... but it's late, the debate is over and we have 28 days left to prop our candidate up. Feels a bit like the movie "Weekend at Bernies" to me and that's too bad.
If there's anything left after Obama's term, perhaps we can find a real conservative to put up as a candidate.
Now just go back to your happy thoughts, it will all be fine and McCain has it all well under control.
I'm going to bed so you can return to whatever delusional state you were in before. But I'm not the only one who saw reality tonight so there might be a few other FReepers you'll need to call names and yell at.
Cheers,
Lloyd
