John McCain Tries to Connect With Liberal Bloggers

 John McCain is trying to expand his voting base. I can understand that, but I can’t understand this. John McCain has spent the last eight years sticking it to conservatives, now that he is the Republican nominee he is still sticking it to conservatives. Instead of reaching out to the conservatives that he has disenfranchised in an effort to bring them back into the fold he has decided to kiss the asses of liberal bloggers.

Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign is trying to tap a new audience of potential voters by taking his campaign message straight to liberal and nonpolitical issues-based blogs, which reach millions of readers but don’t often delve into conservative politics.

 I wish that I was planning to vote for McCain in the first place so that I could announce that I was withdrawing my vote, but of course I never had any intention of voting for him. This is just another example of why.

 John McCain cannot win the presidency without the votes of conservatives no matter how much liberal ass he kisses. Everything he says and does just drives more and more conservatives away from him. He will never bring in enough liberal votes to offset the conservative votes he loses, never mind gaining enough votes to win. This is already shaping up to be the worst run campaign in history, even John Kerry’s campaign was better run than this one.

 I fear that this is not just going to be the trend of McCain’s campaign either. I fear that more and more Republicans are going to adopt this strategy. Republicans are ignoring what has pissed off so many conservatives in an effort to try to win over more moderate votes but they are just insuring that more conservatives are going to sit the next election out. The more that Republican candidates ignore the will of their base, the more the base is going to decide to send them a message.

 Conservative candidates win when they run as conservatives, period. When conservatives try to reach out to moderates and liberals all they do is alienate conservatives. They feel as though conservatives have nowhere else to go, so if they alienate them, who cares? They just assume that the conservatives will still vote for them over the alternative. Well I am sick and tired of being taken for granted. I will not vote for McCain simply because he might be just a little better than Barack Obama.

 Using this strategy, the Republicans are going to not just lose in November, they are going to get annihilated. This is going to be a massacre. And they deserve it. The Republican party as we know it will be gone, they are falling apart from within.

 I have a message to John McCain and to any other Republican who adopts John McCain’s policy. This is the ass you should be kissing, mine and others like me, conservative asses. It is too late to get my vote, but maybe, just maybe you can still get back the votes of other conservatives who you have driven away.

 If not, oh well. Maybe you will learn your lesson, that is if there is still a Republican party left.
