This reader out-Andies Andy:
Well I have gone outside and pulled up my Mcain/Palin sign. This election is over. I will vote for Mcain but I know that come Nov. 5 Obama will be our president-elect.Steady on. This next month is going to be a long month. Lots of things will happen. But McCain has to make some of them happen. His charge that Obama doesn't know the difference between "strategy" and "tactics" could equally well be leveled at his own campaign.
I feel sorry for Sarah Palin. A once promising career will be permanently connected to the landside loss of John McCain.
I weep for my children and their families.
Wait , don’t throw out that sign ! Send that sign to someone who could use it . There are many people clamoring for McCain Palin signs and stickers as there are not enough to go around .
Since the OHB term will be an unmitigated disaster, you can bet your bottom dollar that HRC is already planning on running in 2012 to correct the DEM’s “buyer’s remorse.”
While I agree this will be a landslide, I have no idea which way it will go.
McWhatshisname/Palin’08!
Yeah that’s the American Spirit...........give up , quit trying. Don’t help. Fatalist to the end oh woe is me......
Anyone who hasn’t the cajones to stick it out to the end needs to shut up and crawl back in their hidy hole and let real Americans battle sedition, socialism and the boogieman. And the end is not the first week of November, regardless of who wins. The end is when ya take that final big dirt nap and get your well earned rest for eternity ! Emphasis on EARNED ~!
FIGHT Damn it !
amen
damn, the torpedoes ~ full speed ahead!!
Count me IN!
"Our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor"
BUMP
What happens if a disqualifying bombshell hits the chosen one? Does Hillary step in?
Mark Steyn falls prey to astroturfing.
I know they had 300 McCain/Palin signs on order here. And I haven’t gotten mine yet!
All-in-all, you’re not seeing too many signs at all, but more are popping up - and more and more McCain signs going up!
Personally. I think McCain will win. I just don’t think the majority of American people are stupid enough to vote for ‘the one’. The FBI is now investigating ACORN and, though he didn’t blow obama away in the debate, McCain did better than Obama.
I just can’t be a pessimist.
I guarantee Palin doesn’t agree with half the shit McCain says, but has to grudgingly toe the line and defend him.
I don’t think Palin will be permanently damaged since the loss can hardly be blamed on her. She’s the only thing that kept him in the race. She can become one of the conservative national leaders of the party in the next four years along with Jindal, Pence, Cantor, and others.
I haven’t put up the sign. They sent me one which is just McCain. I don’t like McCain, never have and the more I see him the less I like him. I also have a bumper sticker that says “I’m voting for Sarah” but my husband won’t put it on my car because he’s afraid my car would get keyed, even in this red county, red state and he’s probably right. So I’ll vote for the R ticket. I don’t think that if the R ticket loses that its been a bad thing for Sarah to be on the ticket - she’s set for 2012 or even 2016. She is now a national conservative hero and a proven fund raiser, vote getter.
Fight for what? Another McBama socialist plan to bailout Wall Street plus a new add on plan to shovel out 330 additional billion dollars.
LIFE IS GOOD
Don’t be so sure. Did Obama pay off her campaign debts? She was in the hole by several million, even after using her own money from her book sale. He may be holding that over her head as a carrot/stick...............
No giving up here, absentee ballot already sent for McCain/Palin.
'Cause when the going gets tough... (Patriotic instrumental music) the tough get going! Who's with me?
MARK STEYN????
I don't know what to say! I always thought he would be one that would fight to the end, using his cutting humor all the way. How sad.
Steyn printed the letter of a reader then added his comment at the bottom. It’s not obvious that’s the case from the way it’s posted here. This is Stein’s comment.
Steady on. This next month is going to be a long month. Lots of things will happen. But McCain has to make some of them happen. His charge that Obama doesn’t know the difference between “strategy” and “tactics” could equally well be leveled at his own campaign.
Never mind. I just re-read.
Sheeeesh. I need coffee.
See my post 23.
Faithless is he who quits when the road darkens.
That is going to be my tagline.
Now THAT’S the kind of thinking we need!
Who else is running that is better “””and”””” has a chance of beating Obama ?
I despise McPain in the Ass as much as the next real conservative. Yet any vote for the 1% of others running is a vote for OBAMINATION !
YOU know that ... Sorry I can work in same arena as we did fighting Amnesty if McJuan is elected.
I don't think I'm alone in not being able to afford the vandalism.
McCain cannot win. He was a losing candidate from the start. It was unbelievable that he was selected, but the real crime was that we allowed the left to destroy our top candidates like George Allen and Rick Santorum.
McCain cannot win, but that doesn’t mean this race is over. WE can win despite him if enough of us see 0bama clearly and refrain from voting for him. Vote for Sarah. If McCain wins, she wins.
I don’t think being associated with this turkey will destroy her career. After the election, if they lose, she’ll be free to speak her mind, and we all know what kind of crowds she’s pulling. Maybe in four years she can go head to head with the chosen one himself.
What a Maverick!
He then brings a bright, intelligent woman on his ticket with strong conservative values and the GOP reignites, including myself.
After last night's debate I don't know why McCain didn't hit Obama hard and frequently. His performance was weak at best. If that's McCain's Maverick approach, it might work in the Beltway but not with the American people.
To top it all off he's going to have banks renegotiate defaulted loan? Say what! Sounds like nuance for public housing. We own our home free and clear and have no debt. We've worked 45 years to earn what we have in our lives. Now we are sitting here with what's left of our “nest egg” after the last month and the government wants us to “rescue” those who would prefer to live beyond their means?
My kids never wore $250 Nikes, 24K Bling, or $100 designer jeans. We didn't buy the McMansion, go to Hawaii for Christmas vacation or buy every kid a car when they were 16.
Kids only got braces if they need them and not as a fashion statement to show how much money mom and dad had. No Limos for the Prom, much less a $500 dress and a professional hair-do and make over.
I am exhausted this election! The only one that gets it is Sara Palin. Most Americans may think they are living their dream, but they are creating a nightmare. Reminds me of the commercial of the guy on the rider mower who is beside his self.
Sorry/rant off
I picked up 10 McCain signs on Monday, they were swooped up quickly, picked up 15 more yesterday. Taking orders from my neighborhood. Pins as well, they are hot.
“steady on”
Exactly.
Are we on the front line or not? Leave the despair and defeatism in the craphouse where it belongs.
It’s the FREE Republic people!
Obama can’t close. Let that be our rallying cry.
And — if he SHOULD win, I hope we at least have the low class to remove all the Os from the WH computers.
DNC chooses a replacement.
Me as well...... I do not like McCain. I really like Palin ! I fought hard to keep Mcpain at bay in the primaries. Yet we have to make sure Obama stays unemployed and pissed off because he lost !
The other so called candidates are idiots yet they are not in a position to beat Obama. McPain is !
I think the “Signing Off” title was meant to be clever, as in if 0 gets elected, all the alternative pundits will be signing off.
I never put up a yard sign before, but yesterday I picked a McCain/Palin sign up at the local HQ and planted it in my yard, if only to tick off the Union zombie across the street.
I was happy to see this morning that it had survived the night.
“Hand wringers and cry babies crawl under your beds and hide, while the rest of us stand and fight the communist storm trooper terrorist appeasing thugs as they come over the walls. I would rather have an “Alamo” stand than be herded into reeducation camps or chambers filled bad air.”
THANKS....I ACTUALLY NEEDED THAT SCOLDING!
BACK TO OUR BATTLE STATIONS FREEPERS!!
I'm up for pointless, stupid gesture! And if that's what voting for McCain has come down to, I'll do it anyway.
And come November 5, my NO-Bama sticker is staying on my car! Being an Auburn fan, I already hate Bama.
With you in the fight. The sad truth is that these whinny babies will end up learning the hard way about Obama.
I've reminded myself of that guy a lot. Now I'm in DA, I listen to Dave Ramsey, and I haven't taken on any debt in almost three months. If we don't fall apart, I'll be stronger for it.
American patriots are putting their lives on the line in Iraq and Afganistan to protect and defend this nation and our freedom. The least we can do is fight to give them a Commander in Chief that isn’t a treasonous Muslim Manchurian Candidate, no better than an Al Qaeda operative, that wants to destroy us from within.
Each of us can do no less to defend our country from domestic enemies aka Liberals, Hussein Obama and his shrew, and the biased human waste in the mainstream media. Fight Freepers Fight!!! The alternative is a dictator who will shut down any and all dissent and our children and grandchildren’s futures will be gone. IMO, we are reliving 1937 Nazi Germany. Unlike the Germans, we won’t sit by whining while our country is taken over by the Devil. Get the truth out about Hussein Obama; his corruption, lies, and hidden agenda are heinous.
I like that!! Thank you...very encouraging!!!
McCain/Palin 2008 ;-))!!!
HAHAHAHAHHA...i love that scene from the film ...hahahahah. thanks for making my day
I used to like Mark Steyn.
I have seen McCain/Palin signs, more of them in my hometown and it is a Dem stronghold and only 2 Obama/Biden signs.
If you click on the link and go to the source, to me it is very unclear if this is a quote from Mark Steyn, or is Mark Steyn is posting a defeatist reader comment.
It really looks to me as it if is a reader comment, not a Mark Steyn comment.
That's pantywaist to you, and say it with a smile.
I never believed that America would elect a guy who just slithered, dripping slime, out of a corrupt far left, anti-American, antisemitic, racist swamp in Chicago — until last night. Most Americans are never going to discover who BHO is until after he and Michelle move into the White House. Last night made it clear that McCain simply cannot tell the truth about Obama.
We, his supporters, have already done everything we can do to get the truth out without his help. It hasn't gotten past the media embargo enough to have an impact on the swing voters who matter. Fatalism at this point isn't cowardly or unmanly. It's just realistic.
If McCain lets Obama run as a tax cutting fiscal conservative and a tough hawk McCain will lose. Unfortunately that is exactly what McCain is doing. Maybe the American people will figure things out on their own without any effective Republican leadership. I, for one, won't be holding my breath.
Well I'm off to buy some gold. I understand soap is also a good thing to stockpile when total collapse looks to be just around the corner.
I sense people are starting to wake up to the reality of Obama.
