McCain and Palin just climbed the biggest mountain ever put in front of a Republican candidate ever: a hugely unpopular Republican president, a Great Depression-like economic scare (ongoing), a "historic" opponent, the wrap-up years of a long and distant war, the list goes on.
Obama HID NOTHING about his Marxism. Anyone with a brain should and could have known everything they needed to know to choose between a Marxist and a Republican.
McCain was kicking butt until the October Surprise of the Crash of 2008 and the bailout. Had that not occurred just when it did, we'd be in a very different place tonight.
All the talk of if McCain had only done this and only done that is GARBAGE.
NOT A SINGLE AMERICAN HAS ANY EXCUSE FOR CHOOSING A MARXIST FOR PRESIDENT.
This one is on the American people, not John McCain, Sarah Palin or the RNC. The American people know what they are getting OR HAD EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW. Period.
P.S. As late as this week, there were freepers whining that they didn't know if they could bring themselves to vote for McCain---EVEN GIVEN ALL THEY KNOW ABOUT MARXIST OBAMA.
So don't put this on anyone but the American voter.
Thanks for the most thoughtful post on this thread.
I also feel that if there is any blame to go around, it belongs squarely on the American voter.
Thanks for saying it with class, too. After all, this is Free Republic, not the DU of the HuffPost.
