You understand what you just said right? McCain appointed by the republican party to represent the republican party on republican issues is now somehow not republican? Wow.
Democrats only let registered democrats vote in their primaries. Republicans let registered independents as well as registered republicans vote in their primaries. A large portion of McCain’s early primary voters were independents and most of them said they voted for him because of his liberal or somewhat left of center views on certain issues. Once Obama got on the ticket many of these independents flocked to him. The handful of states that had closed primaries were ridiculed in the blogs for “disenfranchising voters”.
To be fair, republicans tried to swing the democrat primary by having republican voters change their party affiliation to vote for Hillary. Once this became known, democrats pretty much halted all new voter registration in the states that remained and threatened to throw republicans who switched parties in jail (which they can’t do btw).
Had all the republican primaries been closed the nominee would have likely been Huckabee and had the press coverage also been balanced it would have been Fred Thompson. He was the closest thing we’ve had to Reagan in years but no one knew it until he was already eliminated.

I never said that Bush didn’t do everything wrong but when the bad out way the good there is a problem that should be fixed. Fox is one of the most biased and unjust news channels/internet websites out there. If most of the time you sit at home and watch fox then all you’ve probably been doing is listening to Nancy Grace as she is still talking about the Caylee case. That being said, change the channel.
I don’t watch TV news anymore but you might find this article enlightening. Fox ran more negatives stories about Obama than all the other stations but they still managed to run twice as many negative stories about McCain as they did positive stories.

Everyone is putting more pressure on him then they did Bush. People are going to judge the *edited* out of everything that he does and if theres a lot more MPs out there you know it will all surface.
People like me may dig this stuff up but everyone else burries it. It doesn’t matter how much we find, if the media is afraid to run with it what’s the point?
