Get out John

From The New York Times:

MASON CITY, Iowa, March 15 — Senator John McCain of Arizona worked hard for years to make himself the all-but-inevitable 2008 Republican presidential nominee, assembling a formidable machine of advisers and contributors, repairing his relationship with the Bush White House and reaching out to conservatives long wary of his views.

As he began what was supposed to be a triumphant day with his first bus trip across Iowa on Thursday, he was instead faced with a sense among some Republicans that his campaign had faltered in the early going and that his political identity had been blurred rather than enhanced by his efforts to position himself as first in line for the nomination.

As he rolled out of Des Moines on the Straight Talk Express, the vehicle that in the 2000 campaign became a potent symbol of his message and appeal, he was in some ways starting over, reintroducing himself to voters and reporters and trying to address a host of questions that follow him everywhere he goes.

“Everybody says, ‘We just want you to be like last time,’ ” he said amid a welter of microphones in what turned into a daylong conversation with reporters, punctuated by the occasional meeting with voters. “Last time we lost! But I haven’t changed any, and as we go through the town hall meetings and the debate, I can make that abundantly clear.”

Yes John, we know that you haven't changed. This is why you stand absolutely no chance of becoming president. Not in 2008, not ever.

You see John, it isn't just that you became the whore of the left-wing mainstream media where you could always be counted on to trash other Republicans and conservative ideas in exchange for face time. It is that you then turn around and think that we won't remember and hold you accountable just because you start pandering to us.

News flash John. We are not that shit-all stupid. You can pass that along to Mitt Romney when you see him as well. His oh so conviniently times "epiphanies" which lead him to do complete 180 degree reversals on key bedrock issues like abortion and gun control have left him without one shred of credibility.

So you see John you don't stand a chance of winning the Republican nomination, let alone being elected president. So if there is any trace of a desire to truly serve your country (rather than yourself) left in you then withdraw from the race. Withdraw so that a real conservative can step forward and knock off Giuliani.
