McCain’s Base Problem Continues

Started by washingtonindependent · 10 months ago

In late January, just days before her son would win the Florida Republican primary, 96-year-old Roberta McCain—who in another era might have been called a real broad, a pistol — was asked by a C-SPAN interviewer how much support her 71-year-old boy had among “the ... Continue reading »

    'I'm not Barack Obama. My pastor's not crazy.'"...yeah, there's a great platform, just the kind of thing we're looking for in these times. My guess is it's McCain who's going to crack up big time in the campaign. He's not a thinker, nor a leader, nor a manager and he's used to a top-down command structure, where people do what he tells them to. He's unaccustomed to being challenged on anything and has little interest in policy or actual situations, so he says the dumbest, fact-free things. Plus, he's has a temper. Watch for the crack-up, coming soon.

    Poor old John McCain. I don't think John's biggest problem will be the base now that he seems to have the nomination wrapped up. I think John's biggest problem will be running away.

    First he has to run away from President Bush, the dimmest, dumbest and least liked of all the Presidents in American history. (God willing will ever have)

    Then he has to run away from candidate John McCain who pandered to the lunatic, right-wing ... er, the Republican base to get the nomination. Have you all heard what he told the crazy people?

    Then of course he will have to run away from the Republican brand name. The name brand Republican has come to be as tattered as their ethics. The Republican Congressional Leadership has publicly decried it's decline and is reflected in their inability to compete with the Democrats in fund raising.

    Then there is the Republican Congressional Scandals to run away from. How many of his fellow Republicans legislators are currently under investigation or indictment (including the Republican Congressional Committee Treasurer) ? Reverse coat tails could suck him all the way under.
