A MAJOR reason and all the reason necessary to not vote for McCain for president. He is a DEMOCRAT.
Good call. McCain has been payed fersure. He has one more use.
Oh, please.
The lying news media has no pride in this country and would rather tear it apart than any other thing. I am surprised that Bush did as good as he did with the lies in the media.
Interesting theory.
Soros is busy here too in another election on #2 page.

Theory?
The Rabbi must have slept through the election.
Republicans were not outspent.
The Country was extremely unhappy with their governance.
Theory until proven by facts. Show me the facts.
Wondering out loud...
Why did Republicans choose DeWine in Ohio during the primary, then not vote for him during the election?
Could it be that 'rats were able to vote in the Republican primary? Sounds like something Soros would/could pull off.
IMHO, this theory is way down the list and likely immaterial.
The overwhelming reason the Republicans lost is that they defeated themselves:
1) Scandals - Foley, Ney, Taft, DeLay (BS charges but he should have known better), Allen, Cunningham, Abramoff, Haggard, et al. Never mind the media's role and never mind that the Dem's were chest deep in it too - we are to blame because we didn't police ourselves. If we do, then the media has no credible fodder. This time they had plenty and were able to make the most of it.
2) They didn't walk the walk on conservative issues - smaller government, immigration control, fiscal restraint.
However, this is cause for optimism - we control our own destiny. All we have to do is stay clean enough and govern like Conservatives should. We then cream the libs in the battle of ideas, and they have no ammunition for counter-attack.
John McCain: A voice of treason in times of trouble.
And a hearty thank you to the President for signing this stupid and unconstitutional piece of legislation.
(And an assist to the Supremes for upholding it as law)
I hate McCain-Feingold, but this is just bunk. There was nothing in the law previously to prevent this kind of activity by millionaires. The new activity only sprung up because the parties weren't allowed to do it anymore, so people needed another venue. This only proves that McCain-Feingold is worthless and stupid (and uconstitutional), not that it seriously disadvantages the GOP.
The real problem is that Republicans did such a crappy job in power and became crooks, and and that Bush totally screwed up Iraq. Without those things, the negative advertising would not have resonated with anyone.
Wow, really? I wish there were more Democrats like him.
Why don't wealthy Republicans fight back? Where is Richard Mellon Scaife?
