How do you explain hiring the guys that slime your family and then not allowing them to do what ....

[Stinky The Clown]

.... they're good at, which is winning elections by using the most despicable tactics any moral person can imagine, and then doing something even worse than that?

Did McCain really start out intent on winning?

1. He probably figures that it worked against him...

so it should work against Obama.

2. "not allowing them to slime"??? on what planet did this happen????

all i've heard is terra terra terra obama is a muslim terra-rist friend of 1960s bomb throwing terra-rists terra terra terra fear and yeah and he's a commie too fear fear fear

they've done nothing BUT slime the man, i just think people no longer give a happy crappy

at this point if you've lost your retirement and mcsame is talking about now taking away your company health insurance plan...fuck...mccain could produce "evidence" that obama was the head of the invading space brotherhood of alpha centauri and nobody would give a flying fuck -- the failed GOP policies have got to GO and i for one welcome our new alien overlords, ANYTHING is better than what bush and mccain are selling

3. They've not been able to make anything stick.

In years past they could.

[pitohui]

4. that's my point, mccain is damn well trying to slime

but nobody gives a fuck because they know what milk and gas cost thanks to GOP policies

[SoCalDem]

5. He wants it so much, he's willing to sell out completely..

sad, isn;t it..

The ONE shot at the WH was in '96.. He might have beaten Clinton, but he was too afraid to try then, and it was still close to the keating stuff..and of course it was Bobdole's "turn"..

[malaise]

6. They tried but the public rejected that crap

very early. When you try that approach with someone who isn't willing to play your nasty games, you have to back down.
