AMERICAblog: McCain campaign, not doing so well

  • tbhull · 1 year ago
    Maybe McCain should come out against FISA.

    AP's shills probably already have rough drafts of the "miraculous comeback, just like in New Hampshire" meme ready to launch post-Labor Day (when "new products" are traditionally launched.) This is tear-down Obama time, where the seeds of doubt are planted and the themes of the full-court "We Love McCain" press come September and October are disbursed to the pundit corps.

    We are still not doing a good enough job highlighting McSame's hiddious record and views on issues important to women. I was horrified by the female callers this morning on C-SPAN vowing to vote for McSame over Obama. One 71 yr old woman even called Obama the Manchurian candidate! I know the prolonged primary toughened Obama up for the Rove machine, but man I get boiled over listening to these women spout Mark Penn talking points...There needs to be a concerted effort to make McSame's disregard for women's issues front and center. This pig is getting a free pass on this issue not only by the MSM, but also the blogs.

    "The shift in responsibilities came after weeks of Republican quibbling that McCain had not adequately made the transition for the fall."

    I'm really so sick of being treated like a mindless "consumer" with a political marketing strategy than as a rightful GODDAMN INFORMED CITIZEN. How fucking degrading it that?

    And that's another thing I can now recognize as blaming the idiot 'Murkan public.

    yes, anything can happen. however in 88 the g.o.p. could raise money.

    I luv you all but I see what I see. And no matter how unpopular it is, it's just what I see.

    I walked into the office of another guy I work with who was listening to "Savage On The Radio." I said jokingly, aww man, you listen to that hate radio. And sheesh, he really bubbled up angry. He was like all bug eyed like Jesse Helms suddenly and said something like, "Oh, you've gone back to that. You probably intend to vote for that..." It really shocked me. I said: Yeah: Certainly do intend to vote for Obama and his mama, too. Then he said, "He doesn't have a mama."

    These are scary times when you can make enemies of idiots you work with or have to keep your mouth shut or get retailiated against. Well, I understand it that sort of environment but I will never ever shut up. It's just not going to happen.

    Let me clarify: It's about atonement from 'Murkans at large.

    It has nothing to do with us here or other blogs. Not anything at all.

    My garden with the plants is dying. I can't intervene.

    Well, I guess that calling someone's radio program "hate radio" would elicit an angry reaction. I don't think that our side owns that characterization. Some may think that Rachel Maddow's show is hate radio. I'm not sure you would be the most pleasant guy to work with considering your other comments in this posting. It sounds like you made an aggressive comment to your co-worker and he had an understandable reaction. You don't say what name he called Obama.
    He has a right to insult your candidate but some words are not permissible.
  • Õ¿Õ · 1 year ago
    "Our side"? Who are you?
  • Õ¿Õ · 1 year ago
    Quite frankly, I've listened to 'hate radio' for years. Does that make me "our side"? Nah, it just means that those right wing casually sharpening their machetes bug-eyed and now, so defensive? They're yuppie nuts. Waste yourself like Hunter saw and did.

    Wrote about it, why.

    Talking to my son yesterday about McSprinkles and Obama, I remarked on what if Obama was the one to secure the nomination early and had a 3 month head start. I figured he would have organized all the states and had operations everywhere, including some to help out the down ticket people as well and would also be off campaigning for them as well as himself. Given how Obama's campaign is such an amazing operation of great organizing and so well run.

    Yeah, that election belonged to Dukakis. It was his to loose. And he did. How about that? Couldn't happen again, could it? We're smarter now, right?
  • Rab · 1 year ago
    Obama is not Dukakis. Not yet anyway.
  • vwcat · 1 year ago
    Hey Dad, the gop could raise money in 88 but, they also had the luck to run against one of the worst we ever picked for a nominee. I read, I believe it was Molly Ivins, telling about how Ann Richards was ready to knock Dukakis's head off because he was so bad and such a dimwit in fighting against the republicans.
    It was a bad year.
    This time we have a dynamic candidate who is not afraid of the republicans and going toe to toe against them but, with class as well.

    McCain: at least four more years of the above.
    Obama: at least a chance to save our country & everything it once stood for.

    What happened to Busboy? Came here like it was a wingnut triump because the rich and popular Limpballs got 400 million from corporate 'Murka. Gaddy, darn, he must be morally correct then. Let's worship the rich because they're obviously right.
  • Õ¿Õ · 1 year ago
    Well, you need to get glad instead of mad with my comments. It's just what I see.

    The only good thing about a McCain presidency would be at Easter time when all the kids are there for the egg roll - to see Grampa run out in his robe and slippers screaming '"get off my lawn you damn kids!"

    McCain is starring in the remake of "Dead Man Walking"
  • GrMtGirl · 1 year ago
    The longer he's on the road campaigning the worse it will get. This is a strenuous task for even the younger man. As he tires out he'll stammer more, be unable to remember what he said on what subject and then as that creates more and more pressure you'll see that temper fly. I see his age and present health definitely causing him grief.
  • Joneses · 1 year ago
    Judging from the blind media, McCain is doing just fine, and Obama is the one that is struggling. It's the media that has lost it's guts in reporting the real news.

    Can you imagine what it must be like inside the McCain camp? Developing a message would be difficult enough, considering the disintegrating coalition that's been running the GOP for the last 30 years-- try finding something that appeals simultaneously to anti-commie nuts, crooks and religious kooks. But doing it for someone with who'd coldcock you as soon as look at you. Yikes.

    Note how much Liz, MediaWhore for McCain that she is, loses focus and spends at least a third of this piece slagging off Obama.
