John McCain's Coming 'Mea Culpa'

John McCain could have run a good campaign based on core Republican values. Instead, he ran against Obama's inexperience before choosing as a running mate someone who made those arguments look silly.

Obama's lack of executive experience would have been a strong talking point until the former mayor of Wassila entered the fray. Now, Obama need say nothing on the subject. Inexperience has dropped out of the Republican discourse this year.

With that much said, one has to wonder whether any Republican could win after the economy trumped all other topics. The middle class base of the Republican Party watched house values and investments shrink to nothing in the eighth year of Republican deregulation. This was one thing that the Republicans could not pin on the Democratic donkey.

With ten days to go until the election, its possible theft via the White House invading Syria just in time to jigger voter focus towards the national security issue that favors McCain should not be taken lightly. For the conservatives’ success with this October surprise or other skullduggery to steal the election would leave Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from having her finger on the button that launches our nuclear missiles. This is to put the media on notice that not repudiating the likes of this smiling hatemonger will not be tolerated, even if I have to send this message out to every last person in America myself. She has been just what her boss, John McCain, needed, her practiced-in-the-mirror smile the perfect accessory for this inanely dumb broad who would distract us from all the important issues of the election and from the conservatives' efforts to steal the election by race baiting and any other means they feel necessary. They will stop at nothing.

But I fear McCain and other will never repent of being Republicans.

The horror....

It's beyond me how after 7 years of undermining the Presidents war on terror for personal and political gain. The liberals in this country have convinced some Americans that, it is all the Republicans fault. The Liberals don't even blink an eye when they talk about pulling out our troops out of Iraq or loosing a war that many young Americans have fought and died for. And what would they have died for if we loose the war? Absolutely nothing, say it again...Absolutely nothing. And why have the liberals consistently supported our enemies by bad mouthing and undermining our president’s policies? Well you are seeing the results of the liberal efforts during this campaign. Mind numbed Americans who have faith in American Journalist to be truthful, honest and unbiased, believe all the untruthful crap that has been spewed by the liberal media; those are the ones that will vote for Obama.

It is also blatantly obvious that, it was the liberal congress and not President Bush or John McCain that have gotten the American people into the current economic mess. If the bleeding heart liberals hadn't wanted to give a house to everyone who couldn't afford one, we wouldn't be in this mess. John McCain and George Bush are both honorable men and have always made decisions based on what was best for their country even when it was not popular to do so. Both Bush and McCain warned the congress and Senate of the pending Fannie May and Freddie Mac crisis years before it actually occurred. Bush put forth legislation to congress 7 times and each time his efforts were shot down by a liberal congress and senate who were all profiting from Fannie May and Freddie Mac.

If by chance John McCain loses this election, you can be extremely proud of the fact that you have supported the Liberal greed and lies that have been ruining this country for decades.

I have never seen a more unpatriotic, dishonest, and self serving bunch of liberals (and I say liberals because they are certainly not patriotic Americans) in my life. If you are so hell bent on Socialism and Marxism why don't you all move to Russia or China and leave my country alone.

My country is still the greatest nation in the world, unlike the country the liberals try to portray it as.

I would like to end my comments by a brief contrast of our candidates:

John McCain:

- Patriotic American who sacrificed years of his life in a prisoner of war camp so you liberals can spout your lies. How ironic.

John McCain:

- Who endured torture day after day for his country which disfigured his body, so you free liberals could make fun of him everyday. How can you sleep at night?

John McCain:

- Who has fought for the best interests of the American people for over 20 years in the Senate

John McCain:

- Who always puts his country first regardless of party.

as opposed to:

Barack Obama:

- Who has never sacrificed one day of his life in defense of his country

Barack Obama:

- Who has questio
