why mccain lost

1. The Republican Party of the United States was suffering from Bob Dole syndrome. It did not field its best man. It fielded a time server, somone who had stood in the queue for a long time. Someone who was unfortunately a little bit past it. Someone, who as commentator Anne Coulter remarked, wasn't a genuine conservative in the first place.

2. The Republican Party recurrently comes down with Bob Dole syndrome. In the 1970's it was the nomination of Gerry Ford by the Republicans which led to the abysmal malaise of Democratic President Jimmy Carter. My greatest concern at the moment is that America is about to enter a period of governance under a black Jimmy Carter. My greatest hope lies in the fact that the abysmal performance of Carter, focussed Republicans clearly on the issues, and paved the way for Ronald Reagan.

3. The Republicans probably should have nominated Sam Brown or Mike Huckabee or Condoleeza Rice to stand for the Presidency in this election.

4. McCain's advisers were not true believers. They were spin doctors. They believed in nothing. They prevented McCain from presenting a more trenchant candidacy. Their key piece of advice seems to have been: Try to be a bit more like your opponent.

5. Presumably, on the advice of his hireling spin doctors, McCain failed to defend President Bush's record. This meant McCain effectively wrote off the core Republican voting segment of the American people. He wrote off his base in the quest for some mythical liberal Republican voting holy grail. He didn't find it because it doesn't exist.

6. McCain failed to sufficiently challenge Barack Obama on his lack of experience, his connections to the Chicago Machine (Governor Blagojevich), his connections to a black racist bigot called Reverend Jeremiah Wright who claims the American government designed the Aids virus to kill black people, his connections to a mob landlord, his connections to a terrorist who several decades ago bombed the Pentagon, his connections to the Muslim religion, and his connections to extreme left wing agenda groups generally.

7. The Republican Party legal team failed to ensure probity in voting and probity in voting procedures. My analysis is that massive voter fraud took place under the aegis of corrupt elements within the Democratic Party and allied elements within the Teamsters and other trade unions. The methodology for this fraud had been developed by the aforementioned corrupt elements during the 2000 and 2004 elections.

8. The Republican Party failed to prevent the registration of large numbers of fraudulent, ie fictional, votes through the corrupt registration of non existent voters by the Obama supporting Acorn group.

9. Elements of the Judiciary sympathetic to Obama, attempted to create an illusion of wrong doing around McCain's Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin. They did this be delaying their announcement of Sarah Palin's exoneration over Troopergate, until the eve of the elections. Troopergate... A State Trooper who had been married to Sarah Palin's sister, tasered Sarah Palin's ten year nephew. An official in Alaska claimed Sarah Palin as Governor of Alaska had somehow acted improperly in trying to get the official to dismiss the State Trooper.

10. Elements of the Judiciary sympathetic to Obama, refused to take action against the Obama supporting Acorn voter registration programme even after evidence of widespread fraudulent activity had emerged.

11. McCain's staffers, the insincere hireling non true believer spin doctors, leaked sneering assessments of Sarah Palin to CNN. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Sarah Palin had been McCain's trump card. The spin doctors did for her. And the spin doctors did for McCain.

12. McCain's genius did emerge on several occasions. Once was with his nomination of the above mentioned Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate. This was a genuinely superb choice. A real opening up of the political process. It was fresh, inventive, inspired and inspiring. So was she. So is she.

13. The nomination of Sarah Palin at a stroke, threatened to derail the Obama campaign. Fortunately for Obama, CNN and the entire liberal media, colluded to destroy her.

14. CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, the Washington Compost, the New York Times, Newsweek and Time Magazine, from the outset of the election campaign had abandoned all standards of balance, and shamelessly sought to win the election for Barack Obama. Their treatment of Sarah Palin was unsubtly vomitous.

15. McCain's genius could also be discerned in his support for the Surge policy in Iraq, and his backing the appointment of General Petraeus to the hilt. But this act of unique discernment and valour took place in 2006. The liberal media gave him no credit for it. And because McCain had been advised by his spin doctors never to even mention President Bush, McCain himself was left tiptoeing around his greatest achievement throughout the election campaign.

16. The Obama campaign team concealed the identity of their campaign finance donors by claiming that the millions of dollars they received came in the form of small five and ten dollar donations from anonymous students using the internet. The part of their statement that I believe is that the millions of dollars came in the form of five and ten dollar donations. I do not believe in Santa Claus. And I do not believe in anonymous students rushing like lemmings to hand over a hundred million dollars in pennies. My analysis is that the small anonymous donations were an ideal way for the Chicago Machine and the mob and the Arabs, to give big money to their man.

17. Immigrants to any country in the Free World, tend a tad slavishly to vote socialist. Muslim immigrants in Spain secured the election of Jose Zapatero after Al Qaeda murdered 200 people on trains in Madrid a few years ago. Zapatero promptly withdrew Spain from the War On Terror and gave citizenship to another three million Muslims. The Spanish for coward is Zapatero. In the 1980's President Mitterand of France secured 14 years in power by giving citizenship to ten million Africans and Arabs. The pseudo conservative opposition in France then questioned itself out of existence under the Arabist Jacques Chirac, winning an election alright but becoming thereby more socialist than the socialists themselves. The present supermodel marrying pseudo conservative galoot in France, President Sacha Distel, isn't much better. Yes. Immigrants will vote socialist. In America, that means they voted for Obama.

18. The Black Panthers ran a voter intimidation operation in certain precincts which had the desired effect.

19. The Perfect Storm. The simultaneous collapse of the worldwide banking industry along with the emergence into plain view of near universal corruption in stock exchange quoted companies, was the perfect storm in favour of Obama. McCain and his party would naturally be expected to be a pro business grouping. The corrupt culture among large companies, the practice of Board members and Chairmen and Chief Executive Officers and their ilk, paying themselves a lifetime's wages for a year's work, (in reality for doing no work, as all these companies are in a state of collapse), that practice has destroyed the integrity of share prices in every country on earth. The integrity of the company share as a unit of value has ceased to exist. The only reason share prices are still being quoted is because governments all over the world have stepped in to give the banks free money, and the banks are using this to continue to prop up the stock exchange. The banks are propping up a house that will not stand. Because it is a house built on lies. If I James Healy, long considered by friends and foes to be the worst sort of Thatcherite and a Reaganite, if I can say this, imagine what the general public is thinking. The emergence of endemic corruption among stock exchange quoted companies, more than any single factor, has delivered us the miracle of President Barack Obama.

20. There is nothing more powerful in the universe than an idea whose time has come.

21. To the winner the world.
