If McCain Was Competent...

If McCain was competent his campaign wouldn't be relegated to bringing out past relationships of Obama's during the last leg of the race. He should have known about all of these people - Wright, Phleger, Ayers, Rezko, Khalidi, etc. The American people should have heard an extended list of all of these people and why they are frightening associations for a president. McCain should have made this information public at least a month ago. Now he and Sarah Palin look like they are gasping at political straws when they go after one Obama associate one week, and just one other associate this last week of the campaign. This is the time to educate the people on the negative effects Obama's policies would have on America. This is the time to harp on his terrible foreign policy. This is the time to harp on his class warfare speech. This is the time to tie Obama to Marxism and European philosophies that result in higher inflation, higher unemployment, and fewer freedoms. This is the time to harp on Obama's radical voting record-that he's the single most liberal voting senator and he tries to say he can unify our system. This is the time to call Obama out on his egregiously pro-abortion stance. This is the time to remind people Obama has only been a senator four years (two of which he campaigned through). This is the time to point out Obama's radical views of the Constitution and "social justice" for minorities. This is the time to teach the American people that taxing the rich means taxing everyone. This is when McCain should be giving America economics lessons. This is the time to point out that change for change's sake isn't a legitimate policy. This is when he should point out Obama's plan to increase spending by more than our average annual deficit. This is the time McCain should be hammering home reasons for conservatives to get out and vote. This is the time when McCain should point out he's much more of a unifier of Republicans and Democrats than Barack could ever dream to be. This is when he should remind America that his surge strategy worked. This is the time he should remind America that he knows what soldiers are going through. This is the time when he should be giving America hope. Yet, he and Palin are complaining about media bias and another radical friend. He is correct on both issues, but his timing couldn't be worse. If John McCain was competent...

If the Republican party could nominate someone that could give Americans hope. If the Republican party could nominate someone that could communicate. If the Republican party could nominate someone like Ronald Reagan. If the Republican party could nominate someone who excites the conservative half (and some) of America. If the Republican party was competent...
