Who To Blame If McCain Wins

With all the anonymous campaign strategist inside John McCain’s presidential campaign wanting to blame Sarah Palin for the possible GOP ticket loses next week, a vigorous high-level debate rages on about whom to blame if Sen. McCain should defeat Barack Obama. So I decide to ask an anonymous John McCain strategist about this perplexing situation.
“If McCain’s victorious, we will be in a jam. I mean we do not have a contingency plan for that. There is bound to be a lot of finger-pointing, but in the highly unlikely event that McCain-Palin wins, the media will demand answers and someone’s got to take the fall. A McCain-Palin triumph would undermine the foundations of a political process established on push polling and professional image management. A McCain-Palin victory would mean average Americans can do not lesson to us.”

They will not blame Obama, the media, they will blame the McCain supporters and the Americans who did not get out to vote and put their great leader and demigod in. They certainly will not blame Obama's supporters, but they will spread a rumor that there was a McCain spy in the midst who stuffed the ballots with McCain's name and they will demand a recount.
Is that not what happened when Bush came into power? They demanded a recount then. It was the Rebulican's fault.

Obama doesn't take the blame for anything - he doesn't take responsibility for any of his bad deeds - it's all someone else picking on him.

They will blame the voters. If Obama looses by some miracle then they will say his supporters did not show and vote.
The person who wins the election is the one who has the most people show up and vote. Not always the most popular. So if McCain wins that means he had the most voters who took time out of their day to vote. IF Obama wins it is because he had more people that show up at the polls.

Maybe it will be because too many that had warrants out for their arrest or who were being hunted by their bail bondsmen decided to stay home and out of jail!

Hmmm, that is an interesting question, and one that I had not thought about. To some extent the younger voters will be blamed for NOT getting out there and voting. The media could possibly share some of that blame for making it look like a no-brainer that Obama will win - thereby making some voters think there is no reason to get out and vote, and costing Obama some of his votes. I am sure that to some extent the McCain camp will get the blame for unethical, unmoral, etc actions that caused Obama to loose votes that were rightfully his.

Blame me!!! Blame me!!!! You mean it would undermine the foundations of a political process established by Obama, busing people from other states to vote and when they run out of ballots but it on a Post it! You mean setting up Mosques as places to register voters. How could that fail? You mean taking money from illegal immirgrants and from people in other countries. How could it fail? If Obama wins, he will shake up this country. Many of the people who votes for him will be angry. They will act out. If it is up to Obama. He will ship lots of people in from the countries of his choice. You will see another South Africa.

If McCain wins, I think you can blame Joe Biden, the media, and the democratic controlled congress. I feel that these people have a lower credibility than President Bush and they drag Obama down. I mean, Senator Obama's campaign has been flawless and tight. But there is just something about him that I think the average American just can't trust.

Obama seems to have "justification" for everything bad that he has done. There's much more there than anyone is telling - that his why he wants everyone to vote early - so when the s*** hits the fan, their vote for him will already be in.

From what it sounds like you wouldn't have an income if it weren't for the stupid Americans. So why don't you thank them in grace before you eat. If it weren't for stupid Americans you wouldn't eat. The problem with people in America is the same with you. They don't understand who really takes care of them.

If McCain wins it will be because America is a nation of racists. At least that's what those on the left will tell each other.
