 John McCain's
campaign finally made some headlines yesterday, but I'm
pretty sure it wasn't for the reasons he was hoping for. In
what anonymous aides are calling an "implosion," two of
McCain's top political strategists resigned from his
campaign. The media's says it's because his fundraising is
down and his poll numbers stink. But that's not true...the
Real Story is that they're abandoning him because he won't
abandon what he truly believes about this war and they don't
think that's a winning position.
Now, I know I'm not a presidential campaign advisor, but I
am a thinker....if being anti-war is the secret to the
nomination then why haven't Rudy Giuliani or Mitt Romney, or
even Fred Thompson suddenly turning into cute little doves?
Once again, the media is spinning the wrong answer just to
fit their own agenda. This has nothing to do with the war.
In fact, that's probably the only position that's still
helping him. This is all about tipping points. Everybody
in life has one; it's the moment where everything changes,
where your life literally pivots one way or the other -- and
for John McCain it happened when he put his name next to Ted
Kennedy's on that amnesty immigration bill. Sure, trampling
free speech by getting into bed with Russ Feingold got him
off to a bad start, but it was selling out our security on
the immigration bill that finally tipped his campaign over
the edge.
Thomas Jefferson once said, quote "In matters of principle,
stand like a rock; in matters of taste, swim with the
current." I want our politicians to reach out across the
aisle to compromise on policy, but, to many, John McCain
sold out his American principles and that's the reason why
he will not be our next President.
