John McCain Watch: The ANSWER ? to McCain Blames Club for Growth for Loss of Senate Majority

Remember yesterday?

Here is a response from the Club for Growth:

Here is the answer the McCain campaign folks are circulating:

The response is a non-sequitor.

Allah says advantage McCain.

Aero the commenter says:

I disagree that the advantage went to McCain in this little exchange. HE is the one who said he doesn’t have much in common with Club for Growth. And his defense is to show a very equivocal statement by CfG about the possibility that he might do well in the end? I agree with others here–the proof is in the pudding with McCain. His voting record is out there for everyone to see. He also made a tactical error yesterday slamming the Club for Growth and invoking Lincoln Chafee.

It’s not about the issues for McCain, it’s about the politicking or power-brokering. In other words, by bringing up Chafee’s loss in reference to the CfG, McCain made it clear that his concern about CfG is not the issues and goals they try to put forward, but that he sees them as lacking concern for the political power structure. He thinks they cost him the Senate majority and a key member of his Gang of 14, so he’s holding a grudge against them. Nevermind that they are all about the economic policies that we real conservatives want to see in action (lower taxes, less government intervention in the economy, etc.). McCain doesn’t care about those things. He’s all about the backroom deals and getting the things done that McCain wants done. He has a marked disdain for the party’s base.

Indeed……

No advantage to McCain here.
