Just about the entire content of this posted American Spectator article could have been released by the McCain campaign in 2008 and made a major issue, likely to accrue to the GOP's benefit. Instead, the Ayers (and Dohrn) connection to Obama was introduced only as a last-ditch comment by McCain during a debate, deflected quickly by Obama's "just another guy in the neighborhood" retort.

The question remains: why did McCain and his people abstain from running hard against Obama's extremist connections and the entire 'Rat party's acquiescence to the likes of Ayers and Dohrn? That tact might have saved the country from much of the disaster we are experiencing now.

There is a great deal of existing information about BHO2 that should have been made public, particularly by conservative talk radio shows, that was NEVER discussed.

I’ve always believed that was terrible, and resulted in the mess we have now.

It takes courage during times like ours to stand-up to threats and tyranny, to do what is right and just. Benjamin Franklin was correct when he inferred that a Republic is difficult to keep. Now we know why.

Good question. Lately he seems to be one of Obamas biggest supporters.

Because the GOP knew the economy was going to tank. The country was angry with Bush. The GOP didn’t want this election and threw it to the RATs. Remember, McRino said not once but twie we didn’t have to be afraid of Obama. Such a strange thing to say. Then they tried to get a relatively unknow as their VP and they knew she had baggage. Again, just part of the plan to throw the election. What they didn’t count on was that America fell in love with Sarah so they quickly shut her up and probably were instrumental in all the lies about her. McCain was vetted but Obama wasn’t - strange, again. Not a peep out of Hillary. Congress is ignoring it. The Supremes are “evading” it. All because at this late date, they would all be found to have blood on their hands. Yes, they ALL are in on it together.

McCain and the establishment threw the election. That was clear in the end of July 08.

Thanks justiceseeker93. McCain wanted the Presidency, and made a pretty good show considering that the partisan media shills were against him just as much as they had been against Reagan, Bush, Dole, and Bush. The difference of course is that he wasn’t expecting that — he’d always been treated as the “cool Republican”, hosting SNL, exchanging good-natured jabs with Colbert, all through the primaries, etc, up until he became the nominee.
