Comments on: McCain's Prospects Look Pretty Grim

The New Republic: Money Woes, '08 Calendar Make A Comeback Unlikely

[hypnotoad72]

If McCain knows he's sinking, why can't he put what's left of his funds to a candidate more likely to win?

As McCain withers, the Repubs are left with a philanderer and a guy who believes in magic underwear as their two top candidates. What a joke.

And yet, they criticise the Dem field......

The guy has a head full of emptyness. That's why even the not-so-brainy conservative republicans do not support this pseudo-hero. Good for the nation that even for the wrong reasons, republicans aren't willing to give a chance to this flip-flop pre-candidate.

John McCain is old news. A one-time hero, speaking for the people, and now desparately licking boots. Really sad. During the 2000 primaray, John McCain is the first national candidate that I ever sent money to. I thought the Republicans were treating him deplorably, but when you want something so badly that you will compromise your standards and sell your soul, you have lost the right to achieve that thing. Good-bye, John. I will honor your memory.

The tale of John McCain is a very sad tale indeed.

Once a man revered for his heroic ordeal while a guest of the Hanoi Hilton, he is now opened spurned by conservative, independent, and liberal alike.

Once a Senator who could forge alliances within his party and across the aisle, he is now treated like a leper.

The sad part is that this all came about through his own puzzling statements and behavior.

He keeps supporting a failing military campaign in Iraq that grows more unpopular every day.

He makes a show of standing up to our fledgling king over torture and then folds after a Kabuki performance that fools nobody. His Hanoi hero credentials now lay in the dust.

He goes sucking up to the religious right for money and votes after castigating them for their past hypocrisies.

What is sadly evident is that he wants the presidency so bad, that he will pander to any and all that he thinks will get him there.

I used to respect the man, but am sad to say, I would be hard pressed to give him the time of day.

John McCain is not a good man. Good men don't change their positions on issues merely as a result of current polling data. Good men don't seek out scoundrels like George Bush, and ask for their blessings. Good men don't involve themselves in S&L scandals. Good men don't condone Karl Rove's outright, malicious propaganda. John McCain's demise will be good for the Republican Party and America.

McCain, the candidate of independents and moderates? Hurt because of his heretical past that Republican voters supposedly remember?
Are you *** kidding me? Have you been asleep for the past ten years?

McCain has consistently been one of the most conservative senators in Congress, and even if he hadn't been, the average Republican voter has the attention span of a gnat and the memory of a goldfish.
McCain is losing support because he's a hypocritical ****, and he's too obvious about it.

McCaine lacks new ideas and direction. He appears to be a prisioner of expectatons and his handlers. The American people are tired of this.

Dear Anne Frank: Its nice you use that name to post from, but I doubt if you would ever experience anything she experienced; let alone to have the intelligence, at her age, to write what she wrote. And you wrote what you wrote.

Sleep well and remember: tomorrow is another day of hatred.

I'm amazed that this "liberal media" CBS isn't fronting articles about Barrack Obama or Hillary or Kucinich. All their articles seems to be 'neocon positive.'

Do you suppose the 'liberal media' is trying to be more like Fox News: ignorant, biased, and false?
