McCain just killed all the momentum and enthusiasm of the last week with this simple sentence in response to an angry attendee at a rally tonight:
“I have to tell you, he is a decent person, a person that you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States."
“No, ma’am. He is a decent family man, citizen"
With highly inflated dollars from the socialist government owned banking system- All instituted by our good friends the Republicans, with John McCain and his ilk in the vanguard.
Did you ever think you'd see the day?
Then why did the GOP pick the worst possible candidate to understand this?
You misspelled “kissed.” Take a look at who Slick Willard willingly left in MA to succeed him. (Hint: It ain’t a Republican, but then, neither was Slick)
Alan Keyes is not now and will not be in the future our GOP candidate. People need to deal with facts, not dreams..
If you have a problem you should have fought to change the way our primaries are run.... aka Iowa being a caucus and then going to New Hampshire where everyone and their brother can register and vote on election day..... this moaning and whining is a pain in the rear, this is what it is and you will all bemoan President Obama same as so many complain now about Pelosi and Reid if everyone doesn’t wake up and stop this right now.
Imagine this: Obama wins, but his scandals are so exposed that he’s the most unpopular newly elected president in history, completely lacking in a mandate. His allies in congress are even skittish to support his favorite judicial appointments. His efforts to block free speech backfire. And word keeps spreading against him faster.
Even if we lose, the more we do to remove his mask, the better off America will be.
You are correct, because Alan Keyes is no longer in the GOP. After 27 years, neither am I, and neither are most of my friends. Those that remain in the Republican party are only there by the skin of their teeth. All of them are fed up.
Welcome to Venezuela North then. You and your “friends” need to wake up and smell the flowers. There is two viable candidate in this election and if people like you aid and abet the wrong candidate then we all lose. Anyone who has studied Obama would be terrified to vote for anyone other than John McCain.
Man, I am so sick of these surrender-monkey vanities. I'm considering staying away from FR until after the election.
No, that is not true. Going by your standard, there is one, as John McCain is not, nor has he ever been viable.
if people like you aid and abet the wrong candidate then we all lose.
Conservatives vote for Conservatives. It has always been so, It will ever be so. John McCain is not a Conservative. You RINO pumpers shoulda thought about that before you got him in there.
Anyone who has studied Obama would be terrified to vote for anyone other than John McCain.
I am never terrified into voting for socialists. My duty is to vote for the best man for the job. That is what I intend to do. As I have said numerous times already:
"Duty is ours; results are God's" -John Quincy Adams
2012? I dunno. The Cuban’s still have a Castro, Venezuela has Uncle Hugo who doesn’t look like he’ll be going anywhere soon. What makes you think we will even have the opportunity for change in 2012? It’s not who votes, but who COUNTS the votes, that counts.
I call Sen. McCain "Juan" because of his policy towards illegals. How about "McAmigo"?
I don't hate the man, I just can not abide many of his policies. What I really dislike is that he is doing all this while representing himself as a Republican.
BTW, when I've (repeatedly) emailed the GOP/RNC in the past, I never received any response. Hence, my "they don't give a fig about what I think" remark.
Tailspin or swirling the bowl. Tough call.
To be honest, would you want to be president after what just happened this week?
Palin/Nugent!!!
Yes
After the bailout vote, (which my GOP presidential candidate, senator, and rep. all voted for) I will be pulling the Libertarian lever next month in protest.
If oil gets down to say about $30-40 a bbl, monkey boy Chavez’s stay might get a little dicey!!!!
But the RINO control over the candidate requires MSM input. In such a scenario as I describe, the MSM doesn’t have a say. Just as it had no say in whom McCain would choose as a running mate. To use your analogy, it’s as if Whimpy lost his voice and had to write it all down right at the time we’re asking about his payment from last week.
That means it would come down to the republican party choosing, quickly, the top spot and 2nd spot when they know that there’s only one candidate with national exposure, Palin. If they hose Palin on this deal, they’d lose everything, not just for this election but for the next one as well. And they don’t get to leverage the MSM for this choice, it’s a pure internal republican decision based upon republican principles. So they’d have to fight over the 2nd spot, and it would have to be some old timer who matches Biden in experience. I hear Bob Dole is available.
The bait & switch game only works when there’s bait that works, and the switch happens in time.
