McCain does not yet have an opponent in the election for the President of the United States. So far, he is the only one running a national campaign. McCain has no business getting himself muddy in a Democratic Primary. That’s what the Democrats want, to bloody McCain before the BIG SHOW.

McCain went from Zero to Hero on a shoe string budget in the Repbulican primary. He know’s what he is doing. He’s acting like a senior statesman should act and saving his debate for the time when he knows who his opponent will be. Remember, the Super Delegates are still able to steal the Democratic nomination from Obama. McCain could end up facing Clinton, so any effort spent on Obama could end up wasted.

I agree that we will have to deal with anti-Americanism. However, Michael Graham, a right-wing talk radio host has been pushing the racism angle for two days.

“My dear looney left listeners. I love you and I know you’re just misinformed but I know you’re fundamentally decent and will not vote for a guy who tolerates racism”. Almost verbatim.

And the fact portraying Obama as a symbol of racism just isn’t gonna fly.

I agree, as far as that goes. But Wright’s message isn’t just packed with racialist overtones — it’s got plenty of garden-variety whackadoo anti-Americanism in it, and people are always willing to believe left-liberals secretly despise America. This suspicion is untrue of virtually all people of the left but has been proven correct often enough that it’s still around after all this time.

This is “Card-carrying member of the ACLU” * 10^23. This is like finding out Obama wants Ramsey Clark as his AG. Race doesn’t have to have a thing to do with it.

McCain clanks when he walks, there’s nothing wimpy or soft about him. Like Teddy Roosevelt, it appears McCain intends to talk softly but carry a big stick.

I agree with this last part. The ONE thing that I respect about McCain is his personal courage. He doesn’t follow any drummer but his own, and he doesn’t care what anyone thinks about his his decisions.

Unfortunately though, the primary use for that big stick of his is poking conservatives in the eye.

I have to agree with the stance of Pax and Wyrd. McCain is not a wimp for taking the angle he did in the interview. McCain is being smart, on several levels, such as:

– Obama is not yet McCain’s opponent, Obama is still Clinton’s opponent. Obama is competing for the Democratic nomination, he doesn’t face McCain until the general election.

– If Clinton doesn’t bash Obama over the head with his own preacher, the blogs, Hannity, O’Rielly and others will.

– If McCain does it he will be the latest racist to unfairly attack Obama. (Paraphrashing what the left will be screaming, not what I actually believe).

– Unlike Edwards and Clinton, McCain has real differences from Obama on ideals, policies, and the direction America needs to go towards.

– Democrats are going to vote Obama or Clinton no matter what. If McCain continues to conduct himself as a senior statesman who is focused on real issues he will attract more of the independent voters.

McCain clanks when he walks, there’s nothing wimpy or soft about him. Like Teddy Roosevelt, it appears McCain intends to talk softly but carry a big stick.

I ask honestly, as I tried to learn a few years back. Didn’t work out.

I live in the US. I was born and grew up in Moscow. The site is hosted in St. Petersburg. Will probably move it here soon though. They seem to be cracking down on free speech more and more.

The general public would never buy the idea that he’s a racist.

Ya think?
The general public is recoiling from the hatred that he has associated himself with for 20 freakin years!
Independents will not buy it?
Reagan Dems will not buy it?

freevillageidiot
There fixed it for ya.

For God’s sake, THIS is the best man Republicans can find?

What a waste of an opportunity this election is…

I’ve never used that line before but it’s kind of fun. Thanks for coming up with it Rush!

Actually, Confederate Yankee had some great thoughts this morning concerning child abuse and where they are indoctinated to hate by Obama’s church…. Sounds like Hamas/Hisbollah to me. All that’s missing is the ski mask and an automatic weapon held by a 2 yr. old.

So Obama is going to be appeased by Fox’s leftists?

What do you suppose “IP address” is in Russian?

RushBaby on March 14, 2008 at 5:59 PM

I only ask because the WhoIs shows the hosting company being Russian as well, but I don’t see an indication of whether freevillage is located in the U.S. and speaks Russian fluently.

I will respectfully submit that you have yet convincingly demonstrated you have a right to be condescending to me.

huh? got sophism? don’t look now but you’ve made many condescending remarks here, I don’t need to demonstrate anything, your condescension towards any opinions not your own is obvious

I used to hang out with a guy (now we live in different cities) who thought that I was a good friend but I would burn in Hell regardless, and it’s only fair.

whatever…I have no stake in Heaven or Hell, I believe in God the same way Einstein did.

(On a personal note, I’m seriously asking: Is your website in Russian? Do you speak it fluently?)
