Senator McCain, "Country First" Really?...
It looks more like "Campaign First".

If you really put country first, why have you allowed your campaign to troll the depths of the worst and most turbulent dark waters of division in our country's history -- for the sake of political expediency?

Please exercise your conscience in these last few days before the election; so that America will give you the respect you deserve for your service, at the end of the day.

Please don't go out ignobly ...give history the chance to decide that you indeed put country first by rejecting the toxic politics of division -- when it mattered most.

1. His actions do not fit his words/rhetoric....a big reason for his failure
he is insincere

he screams this everytime he opens his mouth

Fear and Negativity

Used to work....he has over used them cards.

he don't even realize why he is losing....

2. McCain knows precisely why he's losing...
He ceded control of his campaign to the very neocon machine that slimed him in 2,000.

He allowed his once hated "handlers" to decide his course. He slept with these dogs & now he has their fleas.

My call to McCain is to truly put country before campaign (before the election), publicly reject the flea-bitten dogs of political warfare -- and reestablish his place in history as a genuine patriot by putting country unity before dangerous divisiveness.

I just hope he handles himself & his campaign in such a way that he'll respect himself at the end of the day.

7. Ego First. Win at all costs. The country first logo went down the toilet
when he picked an unqualified idiot as a running mate.

9. Don't you mean when his Rovian "handlers" picked Palen?...
What self respecting "maverick" would allow himself/herself to be handled (covering both parts of the ticket)? :shrug:
