Because they see only what they want to see, and they have no long term vision, they will not go out knocking on the doors. They will not call. They will not commit their time to any candidate. Nor will they donate a huge amount of their wages to any campaign, because they lack the passion. You need to have a passion to overcome your desire for things of world, and they do not have any passion for anything, but the comfort of their own lives.

Those pundits claim McCain should not “mollify” the wackos. They forgot that those wackos are wackos because they have committed themselves to the causes the Republican Party used to represent. The hard reality is that McCain will not survive without the party base. This is the very reason why I think McCain will lose the election this fall. He will fail to appeal to sufficient percentage of the Party base to get them out donating money and giving time to his campaign. He does not motivate the conversatives, because he does not share the same feelings for their causes. He does not excite the evangelicals because he does not share the same values as them. He will not get them to work for him, because he has nothing to offer to them directly, except for the hope that we could avoid the Obama/Clinton government take-over.

My core beliefs are not changed because the candidate says they should change. Look at John (follow me Grunts) McCain’s voting record and then look deep in your heart at your principals.

If you feel betrayed, abandoned, hoodwinked, bamboozled, forgotten, duped, confused, bewildered, perplexed and baffled as I do, then don’t feel bad about needing time to make up your mind.

Our situation is not as bad as the Free French during World War II. These were French fighters in World War II, who decided to continue fighting against Axis forces after the surrender of France and subsequent German occupation.

In 1940, General Charles de Gaulle was a member of the French cabinet during the Battle of France. As French defense forces were increasingly overwhelmed, De Gaulle found himself part of a small group of politicians who argued against a negotiated surrender to Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. As these views were shared by the President of the Council, Paul Reynaud, De Gaulle was sent as an emissary to the United Kingdom, where he was when the French government collapsed.

De Gaulle was tried in absentia in Vichy France and sentenced to death for treason; he, on the other hand, regarded himself as the last remaining member of the legitimate Reynaud government able to exercise power, seeing the rise to power of Pétain as an unconstitutional coup.

TRANSLATION: Free French relates to Free Thinking Republicans. The McCain grunts equate to those who capitulated to the Germans and became Vichy.
