War In The GOP & John McCain's Blame Game

The top brass in the Republican Party that the public blames the most
for perpetual wars, the next Great Depression, and trying to give
Amnesty to millions of illegal aliens that they let into the country in
the first place are circling the wheel of the GOP ship with their
rapiers out!
Blue collar and middle class Republicans are advancing on the once
proud captains of the GOP hoping to see Bush, McCain, and their most
ardent supporters walk the political plank, in an effort to save the
party from decades of fallout. Let's face the truth. Bush, McCain,
Senators Graham and Martinez have not only led the GOP to destruction,
they have run the great ship called America upon the rocks, with their
brand of 'leadership' in the US Senate and the White House.
The GOP lost any real chance of retaining the White House the day
John McCain won the primary. Due to election dynamics, a Ted Kennedy
loving, Amnesty pushing, Free Trade pushing, Globalist, Democrat in
Republican clothing named John McCain won. On election day, the
resounding message and historical example became "You can't screw over
the conservative base and still win as President!"
The turnout level for the 2008 elections was no where near the
created media hype massive turnout forecast by the pro-Obama media. In
fact, according to the American University’s Center for the Study of
the American Electorate, Democratic turnout was only up a few percent
points. The problem for McCain was that less Republicans showed up than
in 2004's Presidential race and many of those Republicans either voted
for Obama, voted third party, or left his race blank.
McCain was counting on GOP voters to march into the booths at the last
minute, hold their noses and elect him out of fear of Obama. While many
Republicans reluctantly made that choice, a significant group withheld
their support or voted in opposition to McCain.
The greatest example of conservative voters rejection of McCain is
seen in his campaign's inability to raise adequate funds for his
campaign. The RNC had similar troubles and both McCain and the RNC were
massively outspent by Democrats. Looking back in recent history, their
inability to raise enough funds began when the RNC fired their
fundraising phone bank employees, after donations fell through the
floor immediately following Bush, McCain, and Kennedy's push for
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty. The phone bank employees
reported massive donor unrest due to the amnesty legislation and were
promptly fired! Republican fundraising never recovered after that
paradigm shift.
Some of McCain's campaign employees have quickly thrown Sarah Palin
under the political bus hoping the angry crowds will tear her apart,
instead of McCain and crew! I can tell you as a prior employee of many
campaigns, staffers do not engage in this kind of activity, without
expressed behind the scenes authorization from their employers (such as
Mccain) or they will lose their jobs and probably their careers!
No, Sarah Palin was not McCain's downfall. In fact, the only time
in the final months of the campaign that McCain was ahead in the race
was when he announced Sarah Palin as his running mate. McCain's problem
was not with swing voters, you can't get anymore 'swing' than McCain.
McCain tried to run left of the Democrat and tried to out racial
politic a black Democrat.
Sarah Palin energized the true conservative base which initially
reacted with glee to see someone, anyone, that was not a US Senator at
the start of this race come on to the field. Palin was an unknown and
many Republicans immediately projected their hopes on Palin. But the
effect wore off quickly. In fact, after the Palin announcement,
McCain's polling numbers plunged beneath Obama's for the final time,
when he promised a "path to citizenship" for illegal aliens, during
campaign stops in Pennsylvania.
McCain's support for the Bush administration's Comprehensive
Immigration Reform Amnesty knocked him out of the first place spot and
into fourth place early on in the primary. Each time Bush or McCain has
pushed their unpopular immigration plans to the media and public, their
poll numbers dive. Soon, they had Sarah Palin imitating McCain on every
issue, including Amnesty so the 'Palin Effect' was gone and McCain's
dye was cast.
Now that the elections are over, McCain's proxies such as his
campaign staffers, Senators Lindsey Graham and Mel Martinez are blaming
all of the GOP voters and members of Congress who opposed their amnesty
plans for McCain's loss! The notoriously biased and pro-amnesty
McClatchy Newspapers are eager to broadcast their finger pointing and
blame games.
You heard that right folks! McCain and his right hand men are
blaming the opposition to their Comprehensive Immigration Reform
AMNESTY bills for the GOP losses by saying that Republicans alienated
Hispanic voters.
What a load of horse hockey.
Like a thief who immediately points the finger at someone else to
deflect blame, McCain and his crew are attacking others in the party,
in an act of psychological projection. They are attacking immigration
because they know they lost the race on immigration issues. Many
Republicans felt more betrayed by McCain's support for Amnesty than
Obama's because they would expect a Democrat to take that position.
McCain's alignment with Obama and Bush on the issue deprived voters of
a choice for President on the issue of amnesty for illegals.
McCain and his failed crew are promoting multiple myths about the
Hispanic voters. First, according to many polls and actual voting
behavior observations in states like Arizona, a majority of America's
legal Hispanic voters are not supportive of the La Raza and Univision
political agenda. They vote for more immigration enforcement and for
English as our national language.
Our best case and point is that only two pro-illegal alien ballot
initiatives in the nation failed on election day in states with top
levels of Hispanic voters. Voters in Arizona rejected Proposition 202
with 59% of voters saying NO to the deceptively named "Arizona Stop
Illegal Hiring Act", which would have gutted most of Arizona's new
state level immigration enforcement efforts. Arizona is the state with
the fourth largest Hispanic population.
In Florida, which has the ninth highest percentage of Hispanic voters, Amendment 1 was soundly defeated.
The claim that Hispanic voters are unified in support for
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bush, McCain, or Obama style is a lie.
It is also racist and defamatory towards Hispanic voters to make
the false claim that a majority of them support McCain's attempt to
change America's current laws to accommodate millions of illegal aliens
because most are Hispanic. How detached from reality can McCain be,
considering the Zogby poll that showed only 3% of Americans approved of
how Congress was handling immigration issues in the midst of his failed
push for Amnesty last year?
John McCain and his inner circle are engaging in more unethical
behavior by trying to blame Sarah Palin and those who stopped them from
passing Amnesty for illegal aliens. Hispanic voters have been voting
Democratic at 65% levels for years and Obama only picked up a few
percent points there. McCain's Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty
is political suicide for the GOP and national suicide for America.
Republicans now face an important choice. The GOP can further
fracture and descend into oblivion as McCain and Graham march back to
Washington to vote with Obama on many issues, including Amnesty for
illegal aliens. Or the GOP can clean house and sweep these traitors
like McCain, Bush and their inner circles onto the political scrap heap
of history. The American public has spoken and has firmly rejected Bush
and the GOP top brass. It is time for a new political battle cry within
the Republican Party and that cry should be for Change! Let the way
forward and needed changes begin by discarding McCain and crew on the
political plank of this sinking ship.
