Comments on: McCain Campaign Concerns Some Republicans

Politico: Rising Worries GOP Candidate Will Be Outgunned On Money, Organization And Intensity In The General Election

WogerWabbit,
May I ask you one serious questions? With everything that is going on in America now (the war, the economy)....what role do you think democrats have played in all this and do you hold them responsible as well for any of it?

People bray about a do-nothing Democrat congress when in reality, congress hasn''t shown any vital signs in 8 years. This miasma did not suddenly appear when the dems took control of congress by a razor thin majority a year and a half ago. I''m registered independent now because I feel the Republican party betrayed even slightly moderate members like myself (e.g. I''m not a pro life wacko, I''m just anti-abortion) and even more horrifically, they betrayed our country by their willingness to sacrifice our troops for money and politics. The Democrats may not do any better, but they dam sure can''t do any worse after this nightmare of incompetence, greed and godlessness into which the Republicans have dragged our country. I believe it will be a long, long time before the Republicans have even an inkling of power in Washington again. The neocons have destroyed my party and if we let them, I fear they will destroy our country... these guys are not real Republicans... that''s why I''m voting Democrat no matter who wins the nomination.

%u201C%u201DMcCain officials also believe the lobbying brouhaha will pass quickly.

%u201C"Reality matters," Schmidt said. "Senator McCain has the most restrictive policy in the history of presidential campaigns when it comes to lobbyists working on the campaign."%u201D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Restrictive policy???

McCain only instituted the so-called policy when it became obvious that the %u201C%u201Dlobbying brouhaha%u201D%u201D was NOT about to just go away.

The question is, or should be: How long did these dismissed lobbyists%u2019s work for McCain%u2019s campaign before they were asked to leave.

His policy allows for lobbyists to work for his campaign as long as they are not actively lobbying and do not lobby him (or his campaign staff) while working there.

HOWEVER, there is nothing to keep them from lobbying him when/if he becomes president, and they will surely have an inside track.

That seems more than a little disingenuous.

It''s tough to peg John McCainbush. Is he a flip-flopper or is he just senile? You know it''s one or the other or both, but you just can''t tell.

Stephanopoulos: So was it a mistake to solicit and accept [Hagee''s] endorsement?

McCain: Oh, probably, sure.

Stephanopoulos: So you no longer want his endorsement?

McCain: I''m glad to have his endorsement.

Now, McCain has rejected the endorsement. So, a few weeks ago, John McCain knew about the things Hagee had said and continued to want the endorsement.

Now, he flip-flops in midstream and suddenly doesn''t want the endorsement. Wow, this John McCain really can''t hold a position longer than a change of depends.

[smirk5]

Now that McCain has dumped the endorsement he actively sought from John Hagee, you can add another flip-flop to the McCain pile. He was for the endorsement before he was against it.

McCain is so old that he never buys green bananas.
