McCain to Republicans: STFU

McCain: "I do hope that at some point we would just calm down a little bit and see if there's areas we can agree on," McCain said at a news conference in a Phoenix airport hangar.

McCain has basically told Republicans to ignore everything they don't like and try to look for the things they agree on.

This is an incredibly opportunistic way to make it look as if he's being the rational party. It's interesting how one would turn this around on the voting population. Rather than acknowledging that he is liberal enough to be a Democrat and has policy goals which are anti-American, particularly in the area of Illegal Immigration, he puts his failure upon the voters.

Please stop talking about my weaknesses and focus on my good points. If that's not a cry from a position of fault, I'm not sure what is.

The following statement is like somebody breaking into your house to kill you. You don't want to die. They don't want you to life. McCain easily sums that kind of situation with the following:

McCain: "We may have a disagreement on an issue or two," he said. "That's healthy. Wouldn't we pretty boring if we agreed on everything? So the point is that we can succeed."

It will be interesting to see how conservatives respond to this. Will they "shut the f*** up" as McCain needs them to? Will they make it known that we don't agree on enough issues to consider McCain any more viable than Obama or Clinton? An open letter to McCain would probably include the reiteration that nobody wants Immigration reform, they want ENFORCEMENT.

Surely we are watching the Republican party field this candidate simply in an effort to make a good show of losing a general election.
