McCain's folly
McCain may have the Beltway crowd in his corner, but grass-roots conservatives aren't sold. Yet through his surrogates, McCain is attacking these leaders. This is beyond folly. It is political suicide. Egged on by JJ, ullulating in the streets.

Isn't in the turn of the right wing of the conservative party to be disenfranchised? We've heard their bullshit for 8 years and the nation clearly wants out.
Get the tar & the feathers!
Fair enough -- that's the standard pinko Party Line, with the Binnie boyz waiting in the wings to ullulate in unison. What gets me, though, is JJ's theory (pretty much embraced by McCain himself), who says he wants to see a different outcome, but, in fact, may well hasten that very outcome.
The correct spelling is ululate. AI, what outcome are you talking about?
What Pepe is saying is clear. If the right-wingers hold onto such ideological purity that they reject McCain, then they deserve to lose the election. They will see that they have lost the WOT with president Obama and perhaps they will be chastened. If not that, moderates will consider them rightly to be the kryptonite they are, as Buckley noticed 50 years ago before sobbing uncontrollably about Limbaugh's missing his daddy.
It seems you might mean that McCain's desired outcome might be to win the race. You seem to think that he should kiss the itchy ani of Rush and Cunningham and Hewitt and all the others. Canosa anyone?
I think he's probably made a calculation that there are more moderates than there are those lunatics.
I hope he's right.
Thanks - I stand corrected on the spelling; weird, I coulda swore it needs to ells. As for the rest, it's not really an argument, but some haphazard ruminations masquerading as such. Shooting it down is like shooting fish in a barrel, so why even bother?
OK, I was afraid this was a speech freedom issue masqueraded as something else. Truce, then.
