Comments for Why McCain Can't Win »

Posted By Aidenag 1 year, 7 months ago in News

For 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."

      I hope McCain doesn't win and that the article is right. This country is bankrupt, and unable to do its job with respect to its citizenry. Although, there still may be a lot of idiots out there!!

      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!"

        Polls show that McCain does have a chance. Let's hope he looses though.

          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.

            Pretty scary thought, isn't it?

              It certainly is. The fact that McCain was not written off months ago proves he's still very much in with a chance.

              There's still a half year before the election, time for him to distance himself emphatically from the whole Neocon cabal that's guided two appalling Bush terms; repudiate thoroughly the PNAC; and make a stronger stand for greater fiscal responsibility. But will he do any of these things?

              Unlikely, very unlikely.

              So yes again, scott, a scary thought indeed.

            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.

              And they'll most assuredly only get harder for McCain, too.

              Don't forget that.

                exactly.

                can't wait to see how McCain deals with questions concerning his breaking of his own FEC laws, his connection with Jack Abramoff, how beholden he is to lobbyists, his lack of knowledge about the economy, the way he courted Hagee for an endorsement, his 100 years in iraq comment, the difference between sunni and shiite, how he turned his back on vets, etc etc etc etc. all the way down to his strange theft of recipes for his website in an odd attempt to appear authentic.

                McCain ain't seen nothing yet.

                  No worries, NWM. McCain sure has a minefield ahead!

                  Cheers.

                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.

                  If The RNC faces Obama they will play the race card, they will drum up more divisive nonsense as it is their best hope of getting Bush 3 elected. This I believe will backfire. As though there are plenty of racists in America, there are more of us who find racism deplorable and wish to end it's influences. My race is the human race.

                  Obama is no bigot, it is completely disingenuous and particularly heinous to accuse this man of such a thing as in particular he and his supporters stand strong against such ridiculous hate mongering.
