“Don’t you realize that a presidential candidate has to leave the nasty slams to surrogates?”
No offense to you FRiend, but IMHO that is the problem.
As an American, I want my standard bearer to say what needs to be said and I want to know it comes from his/her heart.
A smack-down delivered by a surrogate is watered down and lacks conviction.
“If Hussein wins all of us who post on Free Republic will, by 2012, be living in a gulag somewhere in upstate North Dakota.”
Possible.
HUNTER! Hell yeah!
Thompson??? Hell no! NO MORE BAKERITES, PERIOD!
Did anyone here watch the video of the entire event?
I’ll probably get flamed for this Reynold’s Wrap thinking, but here goes.
What if he’s supposed to throw the election and get this muslim into 1600 to appease the ME who probably own us lock, stock and barrel by now?
We still don’t know exactly what was discussed during the WH meeting on the bailout. Brad Sherman said they were threatened with martial law.
Maybe I’m way off here, but lately I’m having major difficulty wrapping my head around all this stuff.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
If I’m too far off, please knock some sense into me, willya?
I sent three emails to his campaign this evening. others need to do the same thing... AND CALL.....
If they lose this one, the GOP can p.ss and moan all they want about losing to an incompetent but if the voters believe the country is going in the wrong direction, it doesn’t help for put forward candidates who don’t recognize why.
This gives the media a reason to excuse this associations. McCain was an idiot to say this. The media will spend all weekend drilling the talking point that even McCain doesn’t thinks these attacks are out of line.
Not a chance. The MSM would have immediately painted Romney as "part of the problem" as he was CEO of one of those "evil, troubled investment banks". Could you imagine having the CEO of Lehman or Morgan Stanley on board right now? Doesn't matter that Romney know 1000 times more about economy that Barry can ever hope to learn, he would be immediately painted as the "CEO who took millions from those collapsing financial companies" and then it is all over.
A deeply-involved finance guy is the LAST person you'd want on the Republican ticket. Look at how the MSM attacks; imagine if Franklin Raines was working for McCain it would be lights out.
Overall, McCain said the right thing. The MSM is playing up how McCain is being mean and evil, and Obama is yelling loudly about McCain being mean. And here is McCain saying the guy's all right.
It's a great move. The surrogates keep attacking Obama, and McCain can rise above it. Obama and team take the bait all the time and end up looking more and more like whiners. And the MSM doesn't have a clue - they report both.
To each their own.
Palin/Mitt or Dunc. Put the excitement at the top of the ticket for a change.
If Hussein wins all of us who post on Free Republic will, by 2012, be living in a gulag somewhere in upstate North Dakota.

Do you have a url link?
You’re not helping.
Well, this even has the the pundits on Fox and CNN shaking their heads this evening.
You might be, but I won't be, I guarantee it.
Hmmm, that's not the way Ronald Reagan won, was it?
Of course, there may be some ‘plants’ in the audience. You have to have a better repsonse than one that undermines your entire weeks advertising that says “who is Barack Obama” and “Obama is a risk we cannot take”
Think about it the ramifications of what he said tonight.
Then tell McCain to drop the brilliant “Ayers” ads and the brillian “Acorn” ads.
