Even John McCain Has Finally Abandoned Sarah Palin

Sen. McCain admitted on CNN that even he wouldn’t support Sarah Palin if she would run for president in 2016.

Video:

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

McCain offered up his standard defense of Palin, but when he was asked if he thought that she should run for president, he changed his tune. McCain said, “I think that she ought to do whatever she feels that she’d like to do. I’m very supportive of anything that she does. Obviously, Sen. Lindsey Graham is the person I’m supporting, but I wish her every success.”

McCain said that Palin could be an asset in 2016 because she still has a base of support and a degree of popularity.

John McCain’s lack of enthusiasm for a Palin candidacy was obvious. Sen. McCain will always be saddled with the legacy of unleashing the Palin plague on our body politic. McCain should never be forgiven for his reckless lack of judgement in appointing a person who not fit to be the vice president. McCain should be asked in every interview he ever gives until the day he dies why he chose Palin. He has never been held accountable for his actions in 2008.

The fact that Sen. McCain has finally bailed on Sarah Palin’s future means that even he believes that she is never running for office. John McCain still defends the invasion of Iraq, but even he isn’t buying the idea that Sarah Palin has a political future. If Palin ever would run for president, she won’t even get the endorsement of the man who chose her to be his running mate.

John McCain finally gets it, so when will the media stop pretending that there is any chance that Palin will run for president. Sarah Palin has shown no desire to do anything, but extend her fifteen minutes of fame. John McCain would rather support his mini-me in Lindsey Graham than attach himself to the burning tire fire that is Sarah Palin.

The media needs to stop pushing the myth of Sarah Palin.

So McCain thinks he can give Palin a couple of backhanded compliments and then not only is he going to run again, Palin’s team will campaign with him in 2016. I don’t think so, Johnny.

No surprise, really, but it shows explicitly how much of a dirtbag he really is. If the good folks in AZ cannot see this and return him to the senate AGAIN, then we are farther gone than even I thought!

I don’t think she’s running either, but McCain just proved he’s an asshole deluxe, who’s unworthy of her friendship and support.

Lindsey Graham, who thinks that a woman who supports stabbing babies in the neck with scissors and sucking out their brains is a lovely person. Of course, so do Orrin Hatch, John McCain, the Bushes, etc., etc. They have voted over and over and over for Clinton and Obama nominees, ALL of whom support stabbing babies in the neck and sucking out their brains.

Besides the Palin Defence League on this Board she’s considered for good reason a twit.

Are you chitting me? McCain abandoned her even before his defeat was registered at the polls. I'm waiting for her to abandon him. I think the time for her loyalty to him is long over.

The way for Sarah Palin to the Presidency is through the Vice Presidency. She would make Joe Biden’s Vice-Presidency look like scrapings off the bottom of a shoe.

The best punishment for McCain would be for Gov Palin to send him a special invitation to her swearing in as POTUS on January 20, 2017.

It is good that MCLame has cut loose Sarah. She has my vote even if she runs third party. The only reason that I voted for McLame was because of her.

Me Too!

Whenever I start to feel a deep,searing contempt for Juan McLame I think back to the torture he withstood at the Hanoi Hilton.I have little doubt that I would have buckled...gone completely out of my tree...after a few weeks of such torture but he endured it for something like 3 years.

He belongs in the psychiatric ward of a Naval hospital,having been classified as a casualty or war.Not in the US Senate.
