There comes a time in every election when the writing is on the wall. A candidate has tried everything, made every move and pandered to every group and it's still not going to happen. It becomes obvious to everyone from the serious political pundits to the person on the street. It's time to drop out.
For John McCain, that time is now.
As Hillary Clinton adamantly fights on in her quest for the Democratic nomination while the mainstream media desperately tries to anoint Barack Obama, one things has become blindingly clear - McCain couldn't beat either of them.
At this moment, John McCain is doing little more that wasting his wife's money, further breaking campaign finance laws and sounding like someone who wants to make George W. Bush look like an intellectual. McCain, who peaked in 1999, has recently been sinking so fast that he's making the Titanic look like a sponge. In fact, in basically the past five minutes, McCain has:
- Opposed a bill that would significantly expand the breadth of education benefits for veterans.
- Has had to fire about 450 low-life lobbyists from his campaign staff, which is fully run by low-life lobbyists, even as McCain talks about how he despises low-life lobbyists.
- Did a stand-up routine on SNL that caused the zombie corpse of Ronald Reagan to call him and beg him to stop using his "hey, look at me, I'm old 'wackka-wackka'" tactic.
- Has accepted the help of George W. Bush, the only sitting President in U.S. history to earn approval ratings below 0%.
There was a time that I worried about the Clinton-Obama battle for the Democratic nomination. But both Clinton and Obama have seemingly done little to harm one another, and have possibly just strengthened each other. While many harp on the idea that Clinton should quit the race for the good of the Democratic Party, this could well be her only run at the Oval Office, she deserves to stay in it as long as she wishes.
John McCain, on the other hand, will only continue too humiliate himself, waste taxpayer money, and sound like an angry war-monger whose concepts of progress are to take George Bush's worst failures, and try to make them even worse. There is little doubt among the majority of Americans that McCain will make America what it used to be - a vast, uninhabitable region covered in ice.
McCain has no chance to beat Obama. he has no chance to beat Clinton. Bob Barr will likely beat him, as will Ralph Nadar and Lyndon Larouche.
By continuing his run for President, McCain is only proving to be a man run by hubris and egotism. For the good of the Republican Party, United States, Planet Earth and the Milky Way, John McCain must drop out of this Presidential race.
