The extreme right can't stand McCain. Obama may be liberal but he's not polarizing. He doesn't inspire people to oppose him the same way the Clintons do or even Jesse Jackson.
I totally agree.
He can't be calling Bush out. He's essentially saying "you dumb people elected a dumb man and you should have elected me before, now's your chance."
Well, he should have won 8 years ago :smile:
I see your point, but I actually thinks he HAS to call Bush out - at least for two reasons.
1. He has to win the swing votes to have any chance at all. He can only win those by going with the flow and distance himself from Bush.
2. McCain has one major advantage to all competitors - he's regarded 100% honest by a majority of the voters. He stands by his views even though they might not be political correct or liked by the media. He supports the war in Iraq but not how it has been conducted or even the premises it was started on. Being true to himself, he's bound to tell this and thus calling Bush out.
that was extremely an disrespectful reference to an archaic racial pejorative.
Perhaps - but do you disagree? Can you see the extreme religious right vote for Obama, you or me?
If not - can you see the extreme religious right stay at home on election day if the polls shows a dead race? Or a small advantage to Obama, you or me?
If not - aren't McCain or any other GOP candidate free to say whatever he pleases on just about any subject?
