McCain's Nomination at Risk as Republicans Start to Panic
Rumblings below the surface have Republicans worried. It's clear from the above poll results and in a May 11 AFP report. It noted that "many party members (are) having a hard time accepting (McCain and they're) showing it with symbolic votes against him in" primaries. Pennsylvania, Indiana and North Carolina to name three recent ones. It worries party leaders that "as many as 25% of Republicans want a different candidate" based on how many preferred other choices than McCain. Why so? Because his "reputation as a party maverick and a compromising moderate" makes him unpredictable. It also disgruntles "the party's most conservative and ideological members," and they've got plenty of clout to matter.

And ...
There's also McCain's temperament, his unimpressive intellect, unpredictability, his bigotry, arrogance, hardheadedness, legendary temper, instability, and his genius for making enemies among the faithful he needs for support. Observers also describe some recent speeches as wooden, halting, mechanical, bumbling, uninspiring, mean-spirited, and clearly no match for Obama who outclasses him. Then consider how Alexander Cockburn described him last February in a CounterPunch article: "a dunderhead in statecraft, devoid of self control, capricious in moral standards and an imbecile in his lack of political judgment." Worst of all it shows, and "the better people get to know (him), the less they care for him." The public as well that's shifting more to Obama as the two candidates face off with four months to go until November.

Hey, me too!
I put a slim jim or sticker in the envelope and send it back. As of late, I've been writing a little note regarding my disgust at the party and McCain.
Whenever I get a survey or fundraising appeal
from the GOP I send it back with a Ron Paul slim jim enclosed.

Hi Everyone. 'Just slightly off topic but then again,not- If you guys want to know about global ill-feeling, then for encouragement I urge you to read these comments please. It's not only McCain politics it's neocon politics and social nazism politics which are the common themes to all of us. Thank you.

McCain cannot be the Nominee
Unless the GOP wants to be like the Whigs, an Old Party that goes quietly into the night!
Man was born to be free and independent
GOP panicking? I'll say!
Say kids, have you seen the Time/CNN article posted here? Ohhh yeaah, the GOP is dropping faster than corn going through a goose.
I'm starting to get all a-tingle, what with all the articles about people waking up, the rally, the Obamans leaving that fraud, the new delegates, and such as (like Miss S.C. would say).
Seeing
McCain as he is are they. Laugh, my laughter is temporary.
Sad excuse for a nominee, thats a fact. As was, Clinton (first and second wantin' to be), Bush (stooge), Kerry (human robot), oh, who else..
... .. ..
About Obama: there ain't no class dude. Let me scratch my goatee, h'mmm, he must have misspelled (cl)ass, yep, thats it.
As I've said from the first time that I saw him, "you have got to be kiddin" and "he is a slickster trickster, "slippery tongue of liquidity dung".
Every independent article and news reel has proven it!
Most assuredly we have fallen!
Oh, wait, maybe we have upgraded: we don't want just a liar, we want a slippery liar, I see.

Fundraising Disaster
There is very little money coming in to the McCain campaign and the RNC is having a difficult time raising money as well. Fundraising events have been cancelled due to low participation. And that is exactly what should happen based on the crap they have done this season. They certainly won't be getting any of my money. I am sure that is the same for many of you.
FYI - I recieved my Final Notice from the RNC today asking for money. HaHa. Fat Chance! I bet they send out another request for money though. This is the real reason they are worried. But hey, they had their chance to welcome all the new republicans to the party that Ron Paul was bringing, yet they chose instead to marginalize, mock and otherwise make fun of him and us. They get what they get!
Well, if they are setting
Well, if they are setting McCain up to lose, then they don't really care.

I wouldn't...
take a dump in a paper bag and send it to them after the 'welcome' we got... oh wait, maybe I'd do that (then set it on fire, knock on the door and run like hell :-)...
I wrote to the author
Sir,
In response to your article, "McCain's Nomination at Risk as Republicans
Start to Panic," I want to remind you of the most intelligent, highly
honorable candidate this country has ever seen in history. Dr. Ron Paul is
still on the ballot since his campaign is only suspended. Your article was
excellent except for the fact that it did not mention Dr. Paul as a very
strong possibility for the Republican nomination.
I was wondering if the reason you did not mention him is because you also
are owned by the establishment like the major portion of the media, both
written and visual, as well as audio. Not only does the Committee of 300
own the media, but also the politicians within our government. As a matter
of fact, as we speak, Bohemian Grove is having their annual meeting, framing their newcomers by involving them in despicable traditions that will tie their souls to the secret societies for eternity. Dr. Paul is not a part of
this very dirty network of elite secret policy makers who are in power simply because of their money and who definitely use selfish reasons for all decisions to the extreme detriment of the American people. Are you associated with them?
If not, you would have mentioned Dr. Paul, because he is the true
conservative who is the only person who can save our country from the
economical trauma we are experiencing. If you are not associated with them, are you willfully avoiding the obvious, afraid to speak of the so called
secret government, not so secret any more, that is choking this country?
Good article, but you tap danced all around all the important issues. You
managed not to step into the cesspool of American politics of 2008. What is the reason for that? Cowardice, ignorance or guilt by association.
Yay!
I think this is all you needed to say:
Ron Paul's Convention Speech
Yep
It probably would have been better if I had stopped there. You are absolutely right. I let my frustration carry me away. I am so tired of people pandering around to the secrecy of this whole ridiculous thing. Sometimes I just wonder why more people don't just come right out and say that there are no secrets any more. Why don't people pen this whole economy thing around the necks who are responsible for it?
The Truth Hurts
I know exactly what you mean. The problem arises when trying to influence someone, the truth just hurts them, then they ignore you.
Ron Paul's Convention Speech
Is Obama being set up for failure?
Everything considered, it's almost as if Obama is being set up for failure as President.
With war in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with increased tensions with Iran, and the next terrorist attack likely looming around the corner. And, an obviously failing economy, with the most costly bank failure in U.S. history the other day, it appears that Obama, the junior senator, is the perfect scapegoat.
Most people always ignorantly blame the President for all the county's problems.
When all the problems come to head during the next term;
The DNC will just say, "Oh well, he was just a junior senator, with no experience, what do you expect? Vote for Clinton in 2012, experience matters"
The GOP will say, "See, look how badly the DNC handled the economy, and we were attacked on their watch. Vote for Romney in 2012."
Ron Paul's Convention Speech
I have a theory about McCain...
I think the country-club republicans all decided that they didn't want anyone they cared about to run this time, since whoever follows GWB as the republican candidate is bound to get hammered at the polls.
They're fine with letting McCain get creamed, and then they'll come up with a serious candidate after we've had four years of Obama playing Jimmy Carter's role.

"The problem with trying to child-proof the world, is that it makes people neglect the far more important task of world-proofing the child." -- Hugh Daniel
Agree, except ...
I agree that any *standard* Republican following GWB will get hammered.
I agree that Obama will do a fine job of being a Jimmy Carter clone.
I do not agree that McCain is being set up to take the fall. The old guard Republicans would like to win, and they actually believe that McCain is their man, IF they can hide the truth, about him, about Ron Paul. They hate Ron Paul, who could win in a huge landslide if the truth were known and we had honest voting (not Diebold), but they do not care to see this, because it puts them having to make the choice between going with evil and losing or going with virtue and winning. Going with virtue slays their special privileges, but they do not believe that evil will lose - they believe that they can fool us one more time ...
They are very confused.
If...
Obama just follows in the tradition of Carter, we will be in (relatively) great shape. My feeling is that we are in for a much rougher ride with this one.
Seriously ...
Do you personally know anyone out there talking up McCain? I'm surrounded by Republicans in every aspect of life and right now in social conversations its as if the party is alomost embarassed to have McCain as the "presumptive" nominee. No one wants to talk about it and I haven't heard one person say they intend to vote for him.
I can think of a couple
Sue Lowden, NV GOP Chair and Bob Beers, replaced Chair of the NV GOP Convention. "John McCain Convention" ...John McCain signs all over the convention floor and when their boy John wasn't taking the votes, they illegally recessed the Nevada Convention. Then let's see....most of the conserative talk show hosts, the main stream media and the RNC in DC. But real live people I know...no one. John McCain signs in people's yard...not around here. No doubt about it, he is expendable, but promoted by the Republican Party and the media. Guess we're not taking the bait.
IT'S DOABLE
Alpacas - IT'S DOABLE
No.
Everyone I know that is voting for McCain is only voting for him because they don't want Obama.
Ron Paul's Convention Speech
expect that from
the hispanic community too. from my own experience quite a few of them don't like blacks, which is why most of them were hillary supporters.
That is what my GOP is all
That is what my GOP is all doing. I told them not to be afraid of Obama, because McCain and Obama belong to the SAME club, and they will both be doing the SAME things no matter which one is elected. I told them I would be glad to help them get people out to vote, but I would NOT tell them to vote for McCain, or anything like it...lol
Unfortunately
I know two well educated, past middle age, men who are still for McCain. They are sooo ignorant and I always thought they were both almost brilliant in my life. Gosh, makes me wonder what else they have had wrong in our lives.
Talking up
The only one talking up McCain, is McCain.
I will just LMAO as McCain
I will just LMAO as McCain plummets like Icarus dragging the GOP down with him.

I almost think there's some conspiracy..
to ensure a Democrat wins, just because I heard so many people say they liked Romney better, to keep him from the nomination so a Democrat could win. (Admittedly, I have family members who liked Romney, but now see no alternative to McCain, they think I'm crazy for saying I will not vote for the "lesser of Two evils".)
