Fire the Campaign

New York Times ^ | 10/13/08 | William Kristol

Newsflash: the Beltway insiders in the GOP are telling McCain he needs to be nicer. The source of the current MSM meme that the campaign has turned “nasty” is not the Courics of the world — who will always make stuff up to help any Democrat — no, the source of that silly meme is our own wrinkled-brow, soft speaking GOP pundits.

Is this the same William Kristol who in 1990 was predicting a disastrous loss for us in the first Gulf War? I believe it is.

It's past time that the NYT take a dirt nap. They already have one foot in the grave. I take whatever is written in the slimes with a grain of salt. It's only being written to reinforce an agenda that is nothing short of socialist, bordering on communist.

...soooo Billy tell us...was it banana cream or lemon?

Hey Girlie man......we are in the fight of our life!! The Obama camp is VICIOUS....VICIOUS....have you never seen thqat guy tell Hannity he is a RACIST?? And Burton being so smug while he’s LYING?? We just don’t have those kind of people on our side.

McCain’s going on Letterman Thursday - seems to me that his strategy is to work up tough adversaries (the media), to boost negatives and ratings for his on-air showings and then disarm them face-to-face like a man. Meanwhile, Obama is sliding into old news territory for many and resorting to buying half hour blocks to ensure he’ll be heard late in the game.

I’d rather have Letterman and SNL hype at this point. Gets to the the heart of the youth and undecideds.

Yet, the polls show a statistical tie and reporters say Barry's plane stinks.
huh?

“CALLING OBAMA A RESPECTABLE FAMILY MAN THAT WE NEED NOT FEAR IS OUTRAGEOUS!”

I just heard McStain’s remark this morning...How sickening.

I am about to give up on any hope that the Marxist will not take America,
Again, I have not been home in four years, and from Europe I plan to move to the Philippines.
There is no way I will come back to a country (USA) of so many morons.

The criminal Kennedys, Puloozies, Bawnys, Reids, and assorted Dimo creeps will continue to run the government, under Hussein as president.

I hope I will have to eat my words, but I am loosing hope.

[IncPen]

Last I saw, the polls had Obama up by four points. It’s a statistical tie, with the scared white vote unwilling to admit to a stranger that they’re afraid to be honest.

The bigger danger is the Obama supporters who insist that anyone not voting for him is a racist.

Palin is drawing crowds in the tens of thousands. Very enthusiastic crowds. Schmidt is a brilliant campaign manager. The problem is in McCain. He is stubborn and wants to do things his own way. But I guess he figures he hasn’t survived this long in life and politics without doing something right. Look how many times he has beat the odds.

i disagree. when i saw mccain had hired charlie black, i felt ill. charlie
is a genius at losing. he ran dole’s terrible campaign back in ‘96.
his time has passed and mccain needs to be shed of him. black is just an idiot.

[Neu Pragmatist]

I’m far from a Kristol fan , but Kristol is right on this one .

It seems like there are two campaigns at work here . There is no consistent message whatsoever and everytime Palin gets the camapign back on track , they send McCain in a different direction .
I feel bad for Palin , as she is pulling more than her weight and at the same time having to temper it so not to overshadow McCain .

[Flintlock]

Natchurrrally, NYT has our best interests at heart.
Suurrrre.

[TurtleStink]

didn’t the cbs reporter say that obama’s plane stank and they couldn’t get a schedule on paper.

the msm is getting this man elected lock stock and barrel. he just has to be breathing.

[snowrip]

The reasons McCain is losing the campaign are the same reasons the conservative base was ready to stay home on election day; he’s another gutless, incompetant “compassionate conservatism” RINO.

[an amused spectator]

Silly Billy Kristol! "The media is hostile."

The media is part of the Obama team, Billy.

[LetsRok]

How about just hiring Bill Clinton to fight for us??

Can you imagine watching John McCain giving a 30 minute speech on prime time television? No way.

Keep on with the political ads, John.

We just need you to kick some ass at the debates.
