Dargo Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Oh, and btw Vautrin, you were exactly right earlier about that whole "any Republican would've had trouble winning the 2008 election. You see, UNLIKE the freakin' no-class so-called "christian" in this conversation here who earlier insists because McCain supposedly showed some kind of "weakness" during his campaign, that this caused his defeat, WHAT his freakin' ilk will NEWER EVER understand is that Obama won that election PRIMARILY because he was able to motivate many of the aforementioned "lazy apathetic" voters, I'm talkin' the youth and minority vote here, to FINALLY get OFF those "lazy and apathetic" butts of theirs and CAST a freakin' ballot for him. And then, add into this equation YOUR point about how that dumb Texan left office with this country's finances in a mess, and yeah, the outcome of the 2008 election was pretty much a fait accompli. (...but once again, all those freakin' IDIOTS out there who have called the late great John McCain a "RINO", will never possess the freakin' BRAIN capacity to understand any of this) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Any Dem running in 2008 would probably have won. Encouraging apathetic voters to get out and vote helped too. What Republican wouldn't have wanted to run against Carter in 1980? And these days it doesn't take much to be labeled a RINO, but that's a GOP "problem." I don't consider myself a lazy or apathetic non-voter, just one who can count. Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 John McCain’s farewell statement "The office of the late Sen. John McCain on Monday issued the Arizona senator’s farewell statement to both the United States and the rest of the world — and he took one last shot at President Donald Trump’s border wall with Mexico. In one particularly striking passage, McCain took aim at the tribal brand of politics that Trump unleashed throughout the 2016 presidential campaign. “We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all corners of the globe,” McCain said. “We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they always have been.” In another striking passage, McCain said that it was a “privilege” for him to concede defeat in the 2008 election of former President Barack Obama, who become America’s first black president. “Do not despair of our current difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America,” he wrote.
