Why McCain Can't Win »
Posted By Aidenag 1 year, 2 months ago in NewsFor McCain this is the best of times. His opponents ravage each other across PA in a political reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg. Yet with all these calm political winds in his sails, he will not be elected president. What lies before McCain are the gathering forces of a perfect political storm that is quietly building into a Category 5 giant

I agree with the thrust of this article. McCain will lose; and he will lose big. This country despises what he has willingly embraced. The Republican Party needs an overhaul, but they will not recogize that until McCain loses big. The backlash against right-wing extremism has risen to an all time high and McCain is a sitting duck. He has no idea that a tsunami is on its way. The fervor over the Democratic candidate is more about the overwhelming antipathy for the present course this nation has taken over the past eight years, than it is about Obama or Clinton.

I hope you're right, Spadecaller. Unfortunately, it really will all depend on what the media plays up.
Of course, if the information on McCain people should think about gets some press, it'll be blamed on the "liberal media" by intractable neocons. But if it doesn't, it'll be because "there's nothing important to report."

McCain is hardly a "right wing extremist," and just six short months ago, NO ONE would have pegged him as the Republican presidential nominee, yet he's had it sewn up for a couple months.
You can bet lots of people will vote against Obama or Clinton more so than vote for McCain. Hell, neither Obama or Clinton can hold a simple majority among their own party members.

An Israeli doctor says: 'Medicine in my country is
so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work
in 6 weeks.'
A German doctor says: 'That is nothing; we can take
a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in 4 weeks.
A Russian doctor says: 'In my country, medicine is
so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both
looking for work in 2 weeks.'
The Texas doctor, not to be outdone, says: 'You guys
are way behind; we recently took a man with no brain out of Texas, put him in the White House for eight years, and now half the country is looking for work.'

LOL!
Rice, Cheney and Bush are in a plane. All of the sudden Rice says: "If I were to throw out a $100 bill, I would make one peon person very happy."
Cheney asnwers: "If I threw ten $10 bills out of the window, I would make ten peasant people happy."
Bush feels the need to say something as well: "If I threw a hundred $1 bills out of the window, I would make a hundred trickled down on people happy."
The pilot, who had been listening to the conversation, interrupts "If I were to throw the three of you out of the window, I'd make millions and millions happy!"

McCain will win for one simple reason - Barack Obama. If the Democrats were to nominate almost anyone besides this hypester, they'd win in a walk. Obama is a disaster and will not win ANY of the battleground states like Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey. If his "friendly" relationship with William Ayres is shown to be any deeper than already revealed, he will lose New York.

Senator Obama will soundly defeat McCain. That is why his staff would prefer to run against Ms. Clinton. After the obvious chicanery of the last administration. It won't matter who runs on the democratic side, the Cheneybush has run the nation into the toilet and like it. The vast majority of Americans have seen evidence after evidence of the malfeasance of republicans. Spongebob and Barney could be the Democratic nominee and win. With all the new democratic registrations across the country, there are less than a half dozen states that can be relied on to vote for a republican.

The polls only show McCain has a chance because he's had a free ride for the last 3 months. As soon as the Democrats have a nominee they will start pointing out ALL of the problems with a McCain Presidency and his numbers will sink lower then the Titanic.

By November so many negative financial, enviromental and political things will take place, I feel sorry for anyone that gets the job. If a Repug wins it will be like the last two elections. The fix was in.
If McCain wins this country will tilt completely to Corporate rule. He will solidify the atrocious justice system given to us by the Repugs. The Supreme Court will probably be 8-1 corporate.

Mccain will have no problem beating Obama. America has finally realized what a racist anti-American he is.
If we knew what we do now about him at the beginning of the primaries then Hillary would be killing him right now.
Too bad the hard questions weren't asked earlier.
He showed in the last debate that he can't handle the hard questions. They will only get harder.

When the media shills were claiming Hillary was the sure democratic nominee, the neocon PNAC cheerleaders posting crapola here on Propeller all dissed Hillary and tauted Obama as a great man until he started wining big. Then suddenly they all praise Ms. Clinton (Whom they have demonized consistently since the 90s). And began a daily Obama bashing thread based on the flimsiest nonsense possible. Now I ask you, are you really going to believe anything they have to say? Do you think they have any interest at all in choosing a Democrat who would do a great job for the American people. They are only interested in their own party's grip on power. The louder they scream about Obama being a secret muslim, a baby killer, a secret homosexual, a secret racist, a communist, a nazi, a slitter of kitty cat throats, whatever absolute garbage they posted today-The clearer it should be that it is Obama they don't want to run against.

In the months until the General Election McCain will likely change his position another 6 or 7 times depending on who he's talking to.
When he talks to Vet's he'll go on and on about service record, while COMPLETELY ignoring the fact that he refuses to support the new GI bill.
When he talks to people who don't support the war or the torturing of detainees he'll go on and on about how he absolutely believes that no soldier in the US custody should every be subjected to torture, while COMPLETELY ignoring the position on this Administration (and his support) that the detainees on the war on terror are NOT soldiers and therefore are NOT protected by the Geneva Convention.
And when someone calls him to task on his 100 year statement in Iraq he'll point out that he was talking about a situation like Germany, Korea or Japan while COMPLETELY ignoring the fact that

unlike Germany, Korea or Japan (who were NOT fighting each other before those wars started) the people in Iraq have been fighting each other for centuries and there is NO reason to think they are going to stop any time soon.
He'll also like AVOID the question which is..."How long are you willing to FIGHT in Iraq? You've said you have no problem staying in Iraq for 100 or 1,000 years as long as US soldiers aren't shot or hurt or wounded or killed. But how long are you willing to stay in Iraq when US soldiers are being KILLED at a rate of more then on per day? How many more US lives are you willing to sacrifice in a civil war that even the Iraqi government doesn't want us involved in?
