		<description>YES.  I sent the following as an email to McCain via the GOP website:
___________________________

Dear Senator McCain,

I will vote for you; I want you to win.  But, YOU need to do something between now and election day: F I G H T.

WHEN I READ: &quot;Mark Salter, McCain’s long-serving chief of staff, is understood to have told campaign insiders that he would prefer his boss, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, to suffer an “honourable defeat” rather than conduct a campaign that would be out of character – and likely to lose him the election.&quot;, I AM SHOCKED.

“Defeat” is the WRONG WORD.

SURRENDER is what Salter is advising.

THERE IS NO HONOR IN SURRENDER.

Even the notion that you could be doing this to “salvage your leverage in the Senate” is a joke - should Obama win, you are likely to be one of the first to be ejected - whether by Arizona voters or Obama&#039;s thugs.

Should you choose the path described above, you will be surrendering my country to Obama&#039;s &quot;American&quot; [sic] vision of Socialist* policies - for this I will not forgive you or your political party.

FIGHT, you old bastard!

- signature -

* I grew up visiting distant relatives behind the Iron Curtain almost every year, and I wish to point out to you that you do not have to wait until flags with hammers and sickles are hanging outside every house before you say a country has surrendered to socialism.  YOUR election is a matter of freedom versus tyranny, Senator.  PLEASE RUN YOUR CAMPAIGN AS IF YOU UNDERSTOOD THIS.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve finally figured out why John McCain does what he does. There is a direct link between what the NY Times and the Washington Post report and what&#039;s John McCain&#039;s campaign strategy. Don&#039;t believe me?

For example, the press reports John McCain is unfairly smearing Obama. John McCain gets soft. The press reports McCain&#039;s crowds are hateful. He tells them to calm down and be respectful. The press reports John McCain shouldn&#039;t talk about Obama&#039;s shady connections. He changes the subject. 

If you were to design a flow chart of McCain&#039;s message and the press&#039;s reporting on that message. You&#039;d see a direct correlation of one to the other. That being McCain&#039;s message tends to piggy back on what the media thinks of his message. The same media who are trying to destroy him. 

So you see, McCain tailors his message to what, the very same press that hates him and wants him to loose, wants. 

If the press was reporting on how respectful a campaign McCain was running you&#039;d know he was loosing. 

It&#039;s always fascinated to me when the very same people who are against John McCain and want him to loose give him advise as if they are looking out for his best interest.

If the things he&#039;s doing are so bad for his chances of winning, and will hurt him come election day. Why would they tell him? Shouldn&#039;t they just shut up and let him self destruct?

That&#039;s the question you need to ask.</description>

		<description>In a word to answer the title of your column...&quot;YES!&quot;

His graciousness towards John Lewis has blown up, as expected. What a surprise.

Conservatives disagree with liberals. Liberals despise conservatives. They hate them just for existing. In this sense, liberals are like Palestinians. They want to destroy the opposition and blow it up by any means necessary.

Until McCain realizes who is friends are, and stops trying to reach out to those who hate him, he will sink. He has days left to figure this out.

Respectfully,

Ya can’t help but wonder, does McCain really want to win? Knocking the Dems on their failed policies is not ‘dirty politics’, it’s just the truth.
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
never mock Democrats

it’s just their religion
you RIGHT-WING INFIDEL

.
ignore credit scores
give everyone homes
- force banks to comply

to deny a mortgage
must be due to racism

.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
make housing costs look cheap

go paint a rosy picture
just get people to sign up

.
All real freedom starts with freedom of speech.  Without freedom of speech there can be no real freedom.
