Slog - Comments on What She Said http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/what_she_said_6 Gail Collins: The Republican campaign strategy now involves sending their candidates to areas where everybody is a die-hard McCain supporter already. Then they yell about Obama until the crowd is so frenzied people start making threats. The rest of the country is supposed to watch and conclude that this would be an enjoyable way to spend the next four years....

It is NOT working. This pandering to the psychotic, dwindling base supporters is totally counterproductive, and as we saw yesterday, even Sen. McCain is sick of this shit.

These are not his people; he's just pandering to them, and he has to know what it's doing to him. How ironic that of all the Republicans McCain would turn out to be the least honest of them all.

It's going to take them 50 years to come back from this. Can a new third party rise up and take the #2 spot? Or will we have two Republicans, a Christian and a libertarian, dividing their vote for rest of the century?

Just like GW, they seem to think they can do whatever the fuck they want, and get away with it.

The McCain campaign is a disastrous joke. I seriously cannot believe that they really thought they could get away with this garbage. The party's over, assholes. We are calling you out.

Is the percentage Hillary primary supports that vow to support John McCain now so small that they are no longer a factor? Just curious.

Isn't this the same thing the Clintons did?

And you kinda have to ask people on the fence, like... "Do you really want to align yourself with this kind of thing... do you?" Because when it comes down to it, the McCain camp has lied about just about all of its qualifications as supposed "reformers".

"I miss the old guy-guy McCain who had so many male pals around he looked like a walking fraternity reunion. Now, he’s starting to resemble an ambulatory patient accompanied by female attendants on an outing."

Her refusal to bleach her teef or let the Times photoshop her is a supersharp visual "fuck you" to the ascendancy of hypergrooming during the Bush years.

For anyone who may have missed the eight other posts on this page--at the time I'm writing--about hotheads yelling abusive comments about Mr Obama at McCain rallies ... well, Dan and I have an important news item for you. There are hotheads yelling abusive comments about Mr Obama at McCain rallies. Just so you know.

For the nitwits who vote for the man or woman they’d most like to have over for dinner, or hang out at a barbecue with, I suggest you take a look at how well your 401(k) is doing, or how easy it will be to meet the mortgage this month, or whether the college fund you’ve been trying to build for your kids is as robust as you’d like it to be....

Voting has consequences.
