Comments on: McCain's closing argument: A push for divided government? http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/12/mccains-closing-argument-a-push-for-divided-government/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: JFK http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/12/mccains-closing-argument-a-push-for-divided-government/#comment-1910273 JFK Sun, 12 Oct 2008 18:54:06 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=24097#comment-1910273 Yes we know the Republicans favorite word is DIVIDED! Division and fear tactics is all the Republicans can produce now. What a sad party that claims moral high ground and now we see it for exactly as it is. A party that gets nothing done, creates fear to push its policy through, and divides Americans so it does not have to produce any other significant progress all the while point fingers at the Dems! PATHETIC! They produce nothing but hypocritical politicians that claim morality while toe tapping their way through airport bathrooms. They build bridges to nowhere. They have outspent the Dems far more in the last 8 years and can no longer claim fiscal conservation. What more do you need to throw them all out of office.

They should have made it months ago. This may help in the house and the senate but it won't work for the White House. John McCain has lost his last chance to become president, and possibly his honor as well, to an idiotic, hypocritical VP choice and an ugly and ridiculous campaign. I mean, what exactly is he saying here? Vote for me because the GOP sucks? The only thing that's dumber than that is calling Obama a terrorist when we're in the worst economic crisis of our times. Sure, crazies will come out of the woodwork to hear Palin spew racist and ridiculous lies, but it's not gonna attract middle of the road voters. McCain should just focus on losing honorably.

People say it's scary that Palin "could" be president but Obama is running for the number one spot and she has more experience than he does. If your family owned a business and you needed someone to run the company, would you rather have someone with 40yrs of experience (McCain) or someone with 2 (Obama)? If Obama was white he would have never ever ever gotten this far and everyone knows it. It's just so rare for a black man to come off educated, so people think its amazing. He tells people exactly what they want to hear even tho the money isn't there to make any of it actually happen. Open your eyes people. Obama has zero experience.

He has to attack his own party's record and his own Republican president, which won't sit well w/conservatives. At the same time McCain has to say exactly what Obama has been saying all along: we need change from what has happened in the last 8 years. For McCain, there is no comfortable position between the Democrats and the Republicans. He's tried out a new image by calling himself a "candidate of change. " But he can't just repeat Obama's ideas, so when he tries to present himself as a maverick who is far removed from the Republicans, he ends up in no-man's-land. He's not really an Independent, like Joe Lieberman, because McCain has always supported his party ...... he's still a conservative Republican. It will be interesting to see the view of himself that McCain presents in this final debate. All of his previous attempts have just confused the voters... actually, he seems confused himself.
