McCain not losing honorably -

Devastating David Frum article from Washington Post. McCain going down with the ship and taking everyone in the Republican Party with him.

4. I've heard several prominent Pubs say "He should stop campaigning
for the Presidency and do as much as he can to help the Pubs down ticket so this doesn't end up being a complete rout!" I don't think that action is in McNuts nature to do. I honestly believe he doesn't care about anything or anyone else but himself!

10. That was obvious from the Palin pick
He has to KNOW she'd be a disaster as president, but doesn't care because by then he'd be dead!

11. I think you can say the same thing for pretty much the entire GOP
It's a party full of me-firsters who don't care what happens to the other guy as long as they get ahead. I think we're seeing the inevitable implosion from that kind of attitude.

5. After reading about McCain I would be surprised to see honor
from him.

6. do you remember Mondale-Reagan?

Mondale knew what was going to happen and looked defeat in the eyes like a gentleman -- Maybe that's why McNasty does not want to look at Big O directly?

17. He's old, sometimes he slurs his speech
When he says he's a maverick, what he's really trying to say is, "I'm a matchstick."

13. Obviousy the nutcase does NOT realize that the PUGs have acted
exactly like he warns against the Dems possibly doing, or perhaps he is just another equivocating piece of trash that doesn't want to lose the GOPer right to be the party who renders perilous actions against the many for the power of an undeserving few.

14. Oh, NOW he's against "one party government"
to which I can only reply with a big, ol' FUCK YOU! We NEED to have complete control for at least a while to undo the absolute mess you've (pubbies) have made of our country.
