Advice for John McCain and Prop 8 Opponents
Via the Jewish Athena, I come across this comment from Rick Moran, “People who don’t take responsibility for their own failures aren’t worth spit. And there seems to be a lot of them in the McCain campaign.“
He points out that McCain’s campaign pollster called Frank Luntz a “moron.” Gosh, sounds just like the kind of name-calling we hear from the sore losers of the Prop 8 battle.
While some on the McCain campaign seem to be trying to pass the buck, thankfully, those likely to run the next Republican campaigns do seem to be engaged in serious reflection and self-examinatoion. We’re trying to grapple with why McCain lost–and what Republicans could have done to prevent it. Now, if only the leaders of gay organizations would try to consider why Prop 8 won — without calling their adversaries “haters.”

Just for a second. Imagine Obama had lost. How would Kevin, Erik, Jack, torrentprime and all the other Obamamoonies have reacted? I think it would go something like this.

I think it doesn’t matter much, given that there are so many other battles to be fought, even relegating same-sex unions to backburner status. Let’s get DC to balance budgets, stop adventuring abroad, and keep the US strong as hell. Lord knows this homo hates governement intervention. Long live liberty!

P.S. If any other supporters of liberty still exist in the Philly area, please stand with me. It started here in the 1770’s the first time around. No way to let liberty fail in the nation’s first capital, this time around.

The best advice we could give to McCain is retire now and go play golf in Arizona; but for God’s sake, please stay out of Republican (or at least conservative) politics for the rest of your life.

Prop 8 lost, in part, due to “in your face” nuisance bs like we see today with the gay lawsuit against eHarmony. You never want to do ANYTHING for people who are inflicted with “victim mentality” because they don’t magically heal once they get what they claim to want — instead, they try to get more as a kind of security buffer. Like a dog begging for a bone, it will never give it up once it gets it.
For clarity sake — my comment is not about gays.. it’s about anyone with victim mentality which accounts for a portion of the gay community AS WELL AS the minorities who voted, en masse, against gay marriage.

V,
that hilarious. and that’s exactly how libs would be acting — well, minus the riots, flaming automobiles, etc…
KevinQC,
Ah but you are forgetting the downside of massive turnout against Obama: McCain now thinks he is more loved among Republicans than ever. He’s not gonna go away, hes gonna be even more of a pain in the ass. (unless, lets hope, he finally learned that he has been used by the left all these years)

That could not have happened because:

Brendan, I agree with you completely.
