McCain: NC GOP "out of touch with reality"

[AlonzoMourning23]

As he said today on TODAY: "They're not listening to me because they're out of touch with reality and the Republican Party. We are the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan and this kind of campaigning is unacceptable."

But asked if the NC GOP's decision to air the spot anyway raised questions about his leadership, McCain didn't have quite as sure-footed an answer: "I don't know exactly how to respond to that."

Besides being an embarrasment for McCain, this whole affair gets at something that has before and will again peeve conservatives. These folks emphatically want to hammer Obama on Wright and on other matters relating to patriotism. When their standard bearer throws cold water on that effort, it reminds them some of the reasons they didn't love McCain in the first place.

Maybe he's upset they won't see things his way?

the reality that moderates are going to react badly to negative advertising......yeah, I would say they are out of touch with THAT reality......

McCain's weak. What a GOP pick he is.

[4Reaganomics]

McCain gets closer and closer to not getting my vote in the fall.

I'll probably vote for him. I don't want to, but what other alternative is there?

[4Reaganomics]

4 years of Jimmy Carter (HRC or BHO) might be okay in order to get a Reagan in there in 2012 for 8 years

I think ultimately McCain can't be much more than Gerald Ford.

Bringing on Obama to refreshen democrats memories about how bad Carter really was (that is whos policies they are planning on implementing) might not be a bad idea.

Then again, who is to say that we will make it to 2012 with Obama. His personal mentor and inspiration rolls around with body guards form The Nation of Islam.

Two questions......
1. Who is this new Reagan?
2. Why didn't you run him this year?

The Libertarian Party has ballot access in 48 or more of the 50 states, so they can numerically win if their support is there. In 2004 American voters were able to vote for the Libertarian Party candidate in 48 states. This led all third parties: Ralph Nader got on only 39 ballots, the Constitution Party got on 35 and the Greens, just 27.



The Libertarian Party has been growing and the history and standings of the party are drawing more people every day as a viable and valid choice to the two-party monopoly on politics that has plagued and injured this nations claim to political freedom of choice for the last 157 years.

I am no partisan, but I clearly recognize the Libertarian Party as a valid and reasonable choice when the two major parties clearly put forth unreasonable candidates with unreasonable promises, claims and goals for the United States of America.

That doesn't even make sense.

Why would Wright's body guards have anything to do with how Obama runs the country?

LOL!!!!!

I see where McCain is coming from but I wouldn't expect the same kind of treatment if I were him from the opposition.

As for the "new Reagan", not sure who that would in 2012.

Right now, the press is so focused on Obama and Clinton, I think McCain could walk into a 711 and rob the place and it wouldn't get coverage.

If he was smart, he would do more like he did in the begining.......visit other countries, get his name in the paper looking all presidential........but he stopped that........bad move.
