    Default Mich GOP County Chair Calls McCain Move "Complete Crock of crap"

    Even the Michigan GOP Party is turning against his lying ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jonathan Martin
    Sun Oct 5, 4:55 PM ET



    Al Ribeiro, until now McCain's Michigan state director, had the unenviable task of sending out an email to Republicans in the state explaining as delicately as possible why they were pulling out.

    "With 30 days before the election, the campaign must decide where it can best utilize its limited resources with the goal of winning nationally and ensuring John McCain is our next President,' Ribiero explained in an message Saturday, adding that McCain hadn't given up on the state and urging activists to keep working.

    One county chair wasn't buying -- and he let Ribiero and a large list of other Michigan Republicans know in a scalding email reply.

    "If you are going to end visits to the state by McCain/ Palin, do it," urged Jack Waldvogel, Chairman of the Emmet County GOP in a message obtained by Politico. "Just don't formally announce that you are 'pulling out' of Michigan, and then come back two days later asking the base core of support to 'keep working.' What a slap in the face to all the thousands of people who have been energized by the addition of Sarah Palin to the ticket. I've been involved in County Party politics and organization for 40 years, and this is the biggest dumbass stunt I have ever seen."

    Waldvogel added later in the message: "He has given up on our State? What a total and complete crock of crap. Again, I think McCain owes the Republicans and the People of Michigan a HUGE APOLOGY. SOON!"

    Having to pick and choose which states to compete in is always difficult and bound to leave bruised local feelings, but Michigan is used to being a target state and McCain had lavished attention there since wrapping up the nomination. And Palin's public second-guessing of the move in the days since the decision was made has only angered Michiganders more.

    "How on earth are we to get people to work for McCain here, when he has already, publicly, in the media, given up on Michigan?" wondered Waldvogel. "We feel abandoned, we are disappointed, and we are heartsick to know that we aren't important enough for him to fight for."

    He signed off his message: "Yours in Republican? efforts"...............

    It is rather silly to just "pull out" of Michigan. Its obvious its going blue, but there shouldn't had been a big announcement conceeding it.

    Well, I'm from Michigan and since we rely heavily on the big automotive companies here, I sure as heck aren't voting for McBush. He's a Bush clone that could keel over any day from a heart attack. Or maybe even from lack of oxygen, since it doesn't seem to be making it to his brain. If he wanted to "pullout", then he should've just done it and not make a big toodoo about it. I would've thought it better to keep a low profile, at that time.

    You're showing your ass is what you're doing. The "skip the troops to go the gym" gag was refuted beyond repute months ago. Get with the program. Now your party lines are "Mavericky Mavericks," "White-flag-o-surrenders! OMG!" and a general air of desperation accompanied by flailing.

    If he doesn't have the money then why not just quietly stop advertising there rather than to make an issue of it?

    Heck, if Obama decided to pull out of Florida and I didn't have to listen to his ads all day long, I would be thrilled! Why not just fade away and let the cards lie where they will?

    Is this the beginning of the end for the McCain campaign?

    Yes..........I thought that was sort of tactless. Why ANNOUNCE it? It's like a bank president coming out and saying they need to recapitalize -- everyone runs for the door, taking their money with them!

    If McCain means to run around the country saying he's not putting anymore money or effort into this state, that state, the other state ---- why do that? Why not just shut up about it?

    Oh no, run for the hills! A candidate was being honest with his constituents!

    No shit, I don't see that punk ass Osamabama coming to Texas, I also don't see any of those amateurish ads of his, he's got close to a half billion "donated" and he isn't spending a cent in Texas?

    As for Michigan, why would he waste the money on a bunch of Union idiots that will always vote for the give away party? The State that houses that dead city Detroit, I can smell it's rotting corpse from here.

    People are going to get in the voting booth and think....... WTF am I thinking, I can't vote for a half white clown that hates that part of himself. A psycho man/child who was abandoned by his low life African sperm donor and raised by a radical crazy mother......... even at 47 he is still seeking his daddy's approval. America will wake up and realize they can't give the keys to the White House, to this racially confused nut case and his mentally deranged wife.
    No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me

    Given the polls are averaging fully 6% ahead for Obama today, I wouldn't count on that. Six percent ahead is a lot.

    Remember, white does not trump senile, Sitarro. Senile is a problem, and that's what McCain showed when he "suspended" his campaign and "cancelled" the debate and rushed to Washington to fix it all up ---------- thus making everything much worse and he still had to do the debate anyway!

    That was weak and everybody saw it as weak.

    I thought Palin would be McCain's Fatal Mistep, but it turned out to be that campaign suspending.

    Why did the idea of a U.S. Senator stopping his campaign to go to Washington to do his job offend you so much? Obama is the dick that didn't know enough about what was going on to go vote present.
    A silly debate, just like the rock star touring is a waste of money and time..... allowing Congress to spend a trillion dollars without every Congressman's input is what is insane.......... Obamasama is the asshole that didn't get it.

    The special "Hannity's America" episode that aired last night and will surely air again will get people talking and thinking about what a skamm the Obamasama candidacy is. The Democrats can't admit that they have nominated an America hating radical with allegiance to Africa, that would be too embarrassing, but the word is getting out. Obamasama will go down before it's over.
