Dear Fellow Conservative,
It’s time for John McCain to apologize to North Carolina Republicans.Please sign our petition, at ConservativeHQ.com, calling on him to do so. (The petition is at http://conservativehq.com/active-petitions/mccain-wright-obama/.)
As you probably know, Senator McCain attacked the North Carolina GOP as “out of touch with reality and with the Republican Party†for running an ad criticizing the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Senator Barack Obama, along with two gubernatorial candidates who endorsed Obama. He suggested that their ad was out of place in the “party of Abraham Lincoln.â€
As Rush Limbaugh noted this afternoon, McCain was essentially calling North Carolina Republicans racist.
Yet even Obama admitted, yesterday on “Fox News Sunday,†that his ties to Wright are a legitimate issue. And, after Obama gave him permission, McCain chose to criticize the Democratic frontrunner’s connection with Wright.
Time after time, Senator McCain has criticized Republicans and conservatives for their legitimate criticism of Democrats and liberals. It seems that he has leapt at every opportunity to apologize for the behavior of his own party.
Isn’t it time he apologized to us? At least, he should apologize to the North Carolina Republicans whom he smeared as “out of touch with reality†and out of place in the party of Lincoln.
Of course, he won’t apologize unless there is an avalanche of demands that he do so.
That’s why it’s so important that you sign our petition, at ConservativeHQ.com (http://conservativehq.com/active-petitions/mccain-wright-obama/) and that you pass this e-mail along to your friends and others who might agree with you.
If John McCain keeps alienating himself from the people whose support he needs the most, soon there won’t be anyone left to alienate.
Please join us in calling on Senator McCain to apologize to Republicans of North Carolina.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Viguerie

And you expect McLame to actually apologize?? Many of us have tried to tell you, for quite some time, McLame is one of the Dems, he’s as much a Dem as Hillary is…
Suck it up, you’re Repubs, take it like a man, you guys put him there, DEAL WITH IT!!
And that my friends is exactly how I feel…
Why would anyone want McCain to make a LAME apology?? One that he doesn’t mean?? One that would be nothing more than a less than sincere attempt at pandering to Republicans who are so desperate in their fear that they would support this RINO, this Dem in disguise??
And so everyone understands, I have NO problem with the North Carolina GOP attacking Obama or his Rev. Wright, I took a really good shot at them myself yesterday, but the immaturity of the GOP leadership simply astounds me…
They want an apology?? From McCain?? For being a RINO?? For showing his true self?? For making it crystal clear that he is NOT what he claims to be??
John McCain has proven to me, and many real conservatives that we were right in our estimation of him, and to all those Republicans that are supporting him as if he were the 2nd coming of Christ, sit on it, you’re the ones that put him there, we had several very good REAL conservatives running early on and the Republicans did what they have done for a long time now, they fell for the party line of BS and have settled for the lesser of the evils, except in this case, I’m not too sure that McCain IS the lesser…
