Thread: Which Exact Day Did Republicans Lose the Presidential Race?

The day John McCain won the GOP Primary.

John McCain lost because the conservative base in America did not come out to support him. The base got excited for a bit when he picked Palin, but when it was clear she was just going to repeat McCain on issues the base fell back and McCain lost his brief lead.

John McCain tried to out Democrat the Democrats. He went and begged La Raza and Univision to reward him for his subservience to The Race on Amnesty and they still thumbed their nose at him. He gambled and he lost. He thought he could screw all the real Conservatives in America and they would still march in and catch him against the scary leftist black man.

While many conservatives did hold their nose and vote for McCain, well let me revise that, while most conservatives held their noses and voted for McCain considering the trap they were in, many in the base did not catch his fall.

Now that the fire is raining down on the GOP tonight, the message is clear.

It is time for the GOP to take the traitor Neocon Globalists like Bush, McCain, and Graham down and out in the Party or the GOP will be gone forever!

The day after election day, it is house cleaning time in the GOP!

If McCain had stood strong for border security and NO amnesty, instead of pandering to a smaller number of Hispanics, I think he could have won the race. McCain took the idea of reaching across the aisle as a postive, but when you play with snakes you get bit. They didn't learn much from Reagan.

If they get their super majorities, it might be too late to clean house.

Guess I'll just cling to my guns and religion. It may be all we have left in another year

The message is VERY clear.

McCain missed out on an entire voting block with the anti-illegal alien voters.

There will be a battle among Republicans and conservatives in the coming weeks and months about where the party should go. I agree that the GOP should get back to real conservatism, traditional values etc., i.e., Ronald Reagan -- not the distastrous policies of GWB and John McCain.

But there will be a battle. Talk radio host Hugh Hewitt just asked Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention what the GOP should do. Land's response was (the tired, false open-borders talking points) about the the "nativists" "opposing immigration" and that those who believed what was proposed last summer was amnesty "need remedial English."

If the GOP listens to this claptrap we're in trouble.

Reagan and McCain both took similar positions on illegal immigration.

Listen, I don't think McCain could have won either way. Illegal immigration is more of an issue in the South West. McCain lost because he lost Penn, Ohio, Michigan and other key states in the East. Even if McCain would have take a hard line position on illegal immigration and secured Nevada, Colorado and NM, not much difference would have been made.

IF McCain had voted No on the bailout, and replayed over and over again what Obama said about his goal being skyrocketing electricity prices, with people hurting like they are, he would have won.

This loss for the Republican has been years in the making. It started in 1965 when Ted Kennedy changed our immigration laws The Immigration Act of 1965 shifted the focus of immigration law from non-European countries to countries that were considered to be Third World. People from the Third World tend to vote Democratic as they want all the freebies and handout the Democrats ofer.

Another turning point was the 1986 the amnesty for illegals. ALmost all of them turned out to vote Democratic.

The other loss is the anchor baby problem -- this years and in the future more anchor babies will be eligible to vote and sponser their parents and siblings for citizenship. They will all vote Democratic.

Our tilt of immigration towards the Third World has made possible the election of Obama and the big losses to Democrats and the Left. It also means the end of American Sovereignty. We are headed into the same sewer that Britian has ended up in with its heavy grants of residency to former Colonies who were and still are thrid World countries -- like Pakistan. If you see the mess that Britain is in with its socilism and poor universal health care, -- this is coming to the US courtesy of the Democratic Party and Barack Obama.
