It’s too late for McCain

It’s too late for McCain.

Real conservatism has taken a death blow and the one swinging the blade is the GOP. If you are a citizen who voted for Reagan then you should feel betrayed. John McCain has been around Washington for over a quarter of a century. He has styled himself as the maverick, the reformer, and the anti-politician. It may play well in Arizona, but that is also where McCain’s big campaign contributors own large farms and factories in need of really cheap labor. You know, those people who need labor that will do the jobs Americans won’t do.

McCain rose high enough in the senate ranks to be well aware of the shenanigans going on the cloakrooms in relation to the gestating Wall Street disaster. He saw who was paying off whom and for what. He didn’t say or do a thing then, and he hasn’t now. He has no plans to do or say anything about going after the real criminals in this enterprise. Wrongs have been done and where is McCain?

We know where Obama was and it is understandable why he’s silent on this issue...he was one of those who caused it. Obama is in this up to his big ears and he has made a fortune off of it; he’s loving this. McCain was actually catching Obama and it was beginning to look like he might pass him, and then the crash came. The numbers reset and McCain has stayed an average of 6 points behind.

Sarah Palin could have saved McCain’s bacon, but she made the fatal mistake of being so superior a candidate she embarrassed her boss, so she was silenced, except for the occasional inconsequential interview. Allowing Palin to do the talk show circuit and blanket the country with her message was too dangerous, she is far more charismatic than McCain could ever hope to be, and she identifies with a demographic he never will, Middle America.

I predicted a McCain/Palin victory, but that was when I still thought the GOP would allow Palin to do what she is so capable of doing, bringing in the independent voters. Obama will get over 90% of the black vote regardless of what he has or will do. That is a racist attitude no amount of charisma can break through. You should vote for someone because of how they will handle the issues, not the color of their skin. Oh, and “change” is not an issue, it’s a slogan.

We are very likely going to see the first black, socialist American president. Obama is a dead cert unless something miraculous happens in the McCain camp. But since the GOP has little more than contempt for independent America, I see small chance of that happening.
