Son of the Daddy of Conservatism condemns McCain, endorses Obama
Don’t believe me? Check out this article from CNN.
Now, it’s not especially shocking to learn this. Frankly, I have a hard time figuring out how anyone rational continues their support for McCain. The reasons that Christopher Buckley listed for his switch to the democratic party are the same reasons my support for Obama has been unwavering. It’s just refreshing to see that McCain’s vitriolic rhetoric and erratic behavior are truly losing him support even from his own party. he might disparage these guys as Georgetown elitist but before the hang em’ high posse became the Republican base, back when the RNC produced leaders that at least had ideas that people could support without blatantly disregarding their own and the country’s best interest, these guys were the heart of the party.
Well, the heart of the republican party now, wants to see Obama at the end of a rope. They’re so afraid (thanks to the fear-mongering that the Country First ticket is trying to dial back) of different or change that they’d sooner see blood running in the streets than “an” Obama in the White House.
I don’t like McCain’s methods or ideas. He hasn’t shown me the leadership or the judgment that his experience suggests he possesses. He’s living proof that the two can be mutually exclusive. His negativity leaves something to be desired as well, but mostly it’s his ideas that I disagree with. I don’t believe they are in the best interest of America. However, i would never advocate, participate in, instigate or even tolerate discussions of his being un-American or being killed.
McCain, you have made a tragic mistake! Your campaign has underestimated and humiliated Americans. it has essentially said, “We, the people, are realllly stupid!”
WE (including the above mentioned conservative deserter from your lost cause) are decidedly NOT!
ENOUGH!!!

The Country First ticket is trying to put the jack back in the box!
Of course it will be spun that she was within her right to fire Walt Monegan but, come on, do we need another power abusing, ethically-challenged executive in the White House? Haven’t we been abused enough over the past 8 years?
What was McCain thinking when he chose her? That this story will be buried? Did she lie to McCain, too? Well it looks like this poor decision is going to cost him…
I wonder how damaging it will be…probably just a minor 2-3 day distraction. The media apparently likes to focus on the angry mobs.
And it seems the Country First ticket’s hate mongering is starting to backfire even as they backpedal…
Trying to put the Jack back in the box is simple if you know how, but if you don’t it’s an ugly undertaking. Like a clown trying to pick up his hat but keeps kicking it away. They’ve awakened something and unfortunately they don’t know any lullabies to put it back to sleep…
gotta give him points for trying, but he needs to put as much effort into the undoing as he did into the doing, and the mob just ain’t feeling his conviction…
What a tangled web they’ve woven…
