What is McCain thinking?
Oct 11th, 2008 | By ttally | Category: General PostingsJohn McCain picked a wonderful partner in Sarah Palin. When the McCain-Palin ticket was announced, it was like a breath of fresh air to social conservatives and soon, to independent voters alike. Finally, after a dreadful summer that saw Barack Hussein Obama take the lead over McCain in the national and state polls, there was hope for the GOP ticket.
With just over three weeks to go, I fear increasingly that the hope is all on the Obama side. While John McCain’s first and second debates with Obama failed to score points against the secular messiah, even as late as mid-week, I still felt that ‘our guy’ was onto something when he finally brought up the name Bill Ayers and Barack Obama in the same sentence, on the campaign trail. Yes, Palin took the lead, but as the vice presidential candidate, red meat is expected by a ticket’s number two. When McCain brought the connection up, like when he the candidate selected Palin, I smiled and was convinced that McCain - again - got “it” and as such, would turn his numbers around again. Surely, I expected, that by the third debate, John McCain would finally throw the necessary ‘Obama is friends with a terrorist’ line for the entire electorate to see.
Then, I read the article “McCain shies away from recent days‘ attacks” and my heart began to break, perhaps for the last time. These two paragraphs from the article say it best:
But the tone at McCain’s and running mate Sarah Palin’s events during the past week had been turning toward the sour.
On Friday during a town hall-style meeting in Lakeville, Minn., a supporter told McCain that he feared what would happen if Obama were elected. McCain drew boos when he defended his rival as a “decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.”
You can discount much of what is in this article as the normal left-wing main stream media junk if you like, but unless this reporter is misquoting the GOP nominee, it appears that even McCain is starting to give up, if the quote mentioned is true, and I expect that it is.
One cannot use the words “decent person” and Barack Obama in the same sentence, especially when the record is pretty clear that this man, the Democratic nominee for president, is the closest a major party has come to nominating a socialist for the presidency. And, when the person calling the said person “decent” is the Republican nominee for president, three weeks before an election, it is worries abound.
Couple this with news that Speaker Pelosi plans further socialist proposals even before George W. Bush leaves office, I wonder whether John McCain has looked passed the election and is now making sure that a Senator McCain - President Obama relationship is a good one.
That said, I am scared this Saturday, but still pray for the best, knowing full well that our side is right on the issues and yes, still right on the candidates.
