General Discussion

Have patience my lemming-like republicans, as soon as the GOP catches wind that at least 20% of republicans (hardcore right) are staying home election today, you will see Mr. McCain tap dance like no one else!

You will see McCain whore himself out to the far right when he realizes that not even they are on his side, and he will alienate all of the centrists and independents in the process.  Any candidate who even mutters social issues like gay rights, abortion or any of these other worthless issues will lose, and lose fast. 

So McCain is in a catch 22.  If he wants the far rights vote, he has to burn all of the centrist bridges he has built up.  If he ignores the whacko religious right, he loses by default.  Good riddance too, because I am sick and tired of seeing the same old faces on the hill.  McCain needs to do himself a favor and check himself into a retirement home.  His wife needs to do a favor and come over to my crib after she drops him off, so I can make a sexy time...

I'm not a huge fan of McCain...but if you think that this will be a new revelation to McCain in the general election, and that he hasn't already thought about this and is not currently deciding on how to handle it, then you are a fool....I know that this is the internet and that every thought that you have seems unique in its genius...but trust me, you're not the only one who has thought of this.

How will John McSame handle this? Apparently by signing up Bush for three fund raisers.

Bold move John.

We don't even have a health care system, we have a sick care system. We spend billions treating ailments that could have been prevented for one tenth the cost. Ensuring that all children have medical coverage pays dividends on costs of health care as they grow. This is Barack Obama's health care plan, to see that all children are covered.

ounce of prevention > pound of cure

I have been saying this for months. Democrats have two candidates that are so strong we don't want to pick between the two of them. Republicans, on the other hand, have one choice that they don't even like.

It's as if the democrats are just trying to see how extreme they can go and still get elected

You are delusional...the Democrats have screwed things up for themselves big time...they had an election that they should have, for all intents and purposes, won by putting forth a very electable candidate who was not very extreme....instead, we got the two most liberal and unelectable candidates that the party could have possibly put into the race.

The fact that hardcore Republicans won’t vote for them is irrelevant, they wouldn’t vote for any democrat.  Middle of the road voters will not vote Republican this year under any circumstances.  

 

IMO you are buying into the far right propaganda that says anyone who doesn’t continually editorialize and apostatize the position of the far right is “a lefty extremist”.  The middle of the road voters are now seeing just how far this propaganda is away from their own views and there is a growing “anti-Republican” sentiment even within the extreme right.  (I.E. the Lou Dobbs crowd)

 

With McCain caving to the far right, he is developing a real credibility problem that will make it impossible for him to pick up the middle of the road voters that used to support him.  That won’t make much difference though, even a more centrist McCain with the full support of republicans wouldn’t be immune to the current Republican backlash.  

It's not propaganda nonsense, it's being realistic.  McCain is much more of a centrist than either Obama or Hillary, that's just a fact...and by putting forth the most liberal democrat in the senate, the democrats are basically saying "go extreme or go home" to voters, and in most cases, historically speaking, the voters would rather go home than go extreme.
