OK, fine.

The logic/reasons employed by the Repubs don't have to make sense to the intelligent rational educated person.  In fact, it's just a poll: How stupid/uninformed or horrendously rich are you?  If you fit in either of these categories, vote McCain/Palin.  Don't be concerned with facts, logic, etc.

The republicans don't want to be elected.
  • McCain has attacked Obama, because Obama is ambitious. McCain isn't ambitious, so probably he don't want to be president
  • McCain doesn't speak for the campaign and the campaign doesn't speak for McCain
  • candidate McCain opposes bills constructed by senator McCain

Isn't it ovious, the republicans HAVE to make a campaign for formally having made a campaign. But nobody wants to do it. Somehow McCain is pressured into running a fake campaign. If he isn't briefed in time about the newest talking points, he may contradict himself later, after he knows, what he has to say.

And therefore you shouldn't critisise McCain. Not because he is was a POW, or a war hero like Kerry. As a POW he could keep up his honour, his integrity. But this republicans abuse this old man and pressure him into a campaign, where he loses the very things he values most.
Voting for McCain is a lack of mercy. But you know, there are sadists. McCain does everything he can to sabotage his campaign, but still they want to see him suffer and becoming president.

It's a conclusion increasingly difficult to avoid; they wanna lose.

But then again, of the field they had this time last year, who could they have chosen ? None of the above was the answer then, it's still true.

And it's certainly true in the UK that at some point a party of government becomes tired and incapable of renewal. Largely because all of the positions of sufficient power to make change are stuffed with the people who are actually "the problem". It happened with the tories in the 90s, and it's happening with NuLab now. Seems like the republicans are facing this same crisis. The whole party nationally seems to have become too rotten to regenerate, it needs to be burnt down before re-growth can flourish.

Oh FUCK!  I said that some weeks ago, with the Repubs knowing that economic HELL is coming next year and they want to be thoroughly on the sidelines when the shitstorm arrives.

Time to start makin' plans.
