McCain Can't Unite the Base
When Fred Thompson dropped out of the presidential race and didn't support anyone, I wasn't surprised. Rumor was he was going to throw his support towards his "friend" John McCain. Well there's a reason Thompson was the only true conservative in the race. But now the primaries tell us we can't have him in the white House (the fools) unless of course he gets the tap for V.P.
But as for McCain, when the enemy rag that is the New York Times comes out in support of you, you have to know your chances of winning the Republican presidential nomination are slim and none. Or least they should be. But that's exactly what happened. So even though he may be in the lead nationally right now, I feel it's bye-bye Johnny.
Although he is a true patriot, a pro-lifer, a war hero, has the most integrity out of all the candidates in either party and has a conservative rating of about 80 per cent and was seemingly the only Republican to support and be right about the surge (including the call for Donald Rumsfeld's dismissal, I doubt he'll get the support of conservative Republicans.
Reasons?
1)Obviously the fact that he didn't support Bush's tax cuts, even though his reasons were admirable; too much spending in Bush's proposal. Still, he was looked at as not a Republican team player and made a lot of reps angry about that one.
2) He stood side-by-side with Ted *hic* Kennedy, Russ Feingold on campaign reform, and and collaborated with Diane Fienstein and the Gang of 14 on immigration "reform", essentially advocating amnesty. But then again, so did Reagan. Still, the public back-lashed on that one. He may have "heard the people" but when your running for the highest office in the land, people don't forget things like that.
3) He has the support of Ted Kennedy (again-yikes) and the New York Times. 'Nuff said.
4) He has the support of Bill Clinton(if Clinton were to pick an opponent for his wife) saying,
"She and John McCain are very close. They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they're afraid they'd put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other."
If Willy is right, I can see McCain totally pandering to his "good friend" Hillary and making the Republican party collectively pull their hair out. I mean working with members od the other party is always a good idea, that's how things get done and satisfy most people, I guess. But to give in to a socialist radical? Tsk-tsk John.
5) Even his own mother says he can't get it together. Although she did follow that up saying, the Republican party will "hold its nose" and vote for a man that has often defied his party.
Of course, I could be wrong. And let's hope I am. I mean afterall, Reagan reached across the isle once or twice himself. Tip O'Neil ring a bell?
