Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," the Arizona Republican said: "When we selected, or asked, Sarah Palin to be my running mate, it energized our party. We were ahead in the polls, until the stock market crashed. And she still is a formidable force in the Republican Party. And I have great affection for her. Will Sarah and I - did we always agree on everything in the past? Will we in the future? No. But let's let a thousand flowers bloom. Let's come up with a winning combination next time."

[rabscuttle385]

Wtf, there will be no "next time" for the treasonous RINO McCain or his smarmy lap dog from South Carolina.

Hayworth '10

Purge the Big Government RINOs! Impeach the Kenyan! Dump Pelosi and Reid! Restore the Constitution! Let's flip the House! May God save the Republic!

[SERKIT]

McCain CANNOT be a factor or even an influence ‘next time’! My frendzh, he is worshed up.

[rabscuttle385]

Juan is truly senile if he actually believes that he can get a second chance with Sarah.

[ExTexasRedhead]

DeMint

[cripplecreek]

Go ahead and bloom your flowers McQueeg. You really won’t be able to find an American to pick them for $50 an hour.

[JPG]

Juan, my friend, you are delusional RINO.

[Scythian]

He could be a runner, fetch Sarah’s coffee and stuff like that. I told you guys, the RNC will not allow Sarah in, no way, no how, 3rd party time ...

[manonCANAL]

I would never vote for mccain again. he is a fool

[kbennkc]

Liz Cheney / Steve Wynn 2012

[Yo-Yo]

Senator McCain, I'm sure a winning combination won't include you.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

A winning combination would be one that does not include him.

[madison10]

No more McCains. There will not BE a next time.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

Heh, four seconds apart :)

[cripplecreek]

We were ahead in the polls, until the stock market crashed.

And you ran your idiot self back to Washington to spraypaint your name across a bank bailout that nobody but Washington wanted.

[beaversmom]

How about you stay totally out of it next time?

[Markos33]

“But let’s let a thousand flowers bloom”

Liars always plant flowers around the BS.

[MsLady]

I am not a McCain fan and hope and pray he doesn’t try to run again. BUT, I’d vote for Sarah in a heartbeat!!!!!

[sickoflibs]

McCain is dying to be somebody.

[Bahbah]

Jim DeMint is more than intelligent and well spoken enough to be qualified to be president of the United States. He loves this country and understands what makes it work.

[CT]

McPain, just leave the party.

[piytar]

Winning combination? That would be one without your presence and without your influence in any respect, McCan’t!

[Sarah Barracuda]

Will Sarah and I - did we always agree on everything in the past? Will we in the future? No.

---

THANK GOD they don’t agree on everything in the past or the future. McCain wasn’t the right choice for Sarah. Sarah needed a TRUE Conservative on the ticket, instead she got lumped with him. Next time, what the hell is he talking about..does he want to run for President again..please don’t give me a stroke John, I don’t think I can handle you running again

[AlexW]

“Purge the Big Government RINOs! Impeach the Kenyan! Dump Pelosi and Reid! Restore the Constitution! Let’s flip the House! May God save the Republic!”

I could not have said it any better, but better pray
that there will still be a Republic next year.
The gall of these Marxist knows no bounds.

[LADY J]

McCain is up for re-election, so he's talking Conservative again!!

Not falling for it - he needs to retire & get out of the way.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, now I truly HAVE seen everything!

McCain thinks SARAH was the problem?

ROFLMAO! ~ to Infinity and Beyond ~

[rae4palin]

“Let a thousand flowers bloom” was said by Mao to encourage dissidents to self-identify. Mao then killed them.

Palin 2012

[kalee]

Someone needs to tell this idiot he only got the number of votes he got because he had Palin as his running mate.

[goodnesswins]

HA..you HEARD today’s Fox shows too!!!??? They were great!

[Will88]

Juan is hard at work shaping the Republican party of the future, and I bet he still considers himself a possible contender for 2012.

Unfortunately, I’m not joking on either count.

[Maine Mariner]

Petraeus/Palin 2012.

[gidget7]

McCain should retire, while there is still respect for him for his service to his country. Seriously, he if FAR too old to run for pres. again, last time was really pushing it.

[Ronin]

If I hear McQueeg described as a “maverick” one more time I swear I am going to scream.

The ONLY thing that he has done in the last 30 years that I can give him credit for is boosting Sarah into the national consciousness by selecting her as his VP running mate.

Thank you McLame. Now sit down and shut up! Better yet, retire and take that loud mouthed daughter of yours home with you!

[aruanan]

McCain on Palin: 'Let's come up with a winning combination next time' [next time???]

Okay, McCain, you sit it out and cheer on a Palin/Cheney ticket.

[Ronin]

Make that Palin/Patraeus, please.

She’s the one who has the vision and who excites me. Patraeus would be a great backup.

[TRY ONE]

Hey McLame: The Palin/McLame was ahead in the race till McLame suspended his campaign to go back to D.C. and “Fix” the financial mess. McLame came back after ~ 10 days and said...”It's fixed....I'll vote for ANYTHING Congress submits.

Palin/McLame never recovered from his s@!t!!!!!!!!!

[piytar]

In case anyone doubts that McCan’t is (mis)quoting Chairman Mao: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/226950.html

[okie01]

"Let's come up with a winning combination next time."

Which means you won't be on the ticket, right, Juan?

[Mister Muggles]

But, but...who will be there in the Senate to reach hands across the aisle in the spirit of bi-partisanship understanding, if not John McCain? /s

[rabscuttle385]

“Let a thousand flowers bloom” was said by Mao to encourage dissidents to self-identify. Mao then killed them.

If McCain is casually using Maoist language on Palin, then perhaps he may never have been fully de-programmed after his time spent with the North Vietnamese Communists.

[eyedigress]

I understand JD may be running. JD will win.

[Bahbah]

I so wish he would, CT. That one man wrecking crew who delivers his pronouncements like something dragged out of Dr. Frankenstein’s lab.

Country first my behind. John McCain first is what he’s about.

[redk]

redk on McCain: “Let's not nominate a douche next time”

[sten]

It’s really not that complicated...

old & crusty NEVER wins in America

[pray4liberty]

Let's come up with a winning combination next time."

One that won't include you, John!

[Paladin2]

Just Say No to JUANnabies.

[digger48]

Watched that second time today, myself.

well worth seeing again

[TexasFreeper2009]

Palin pulled you ahead in the polls till you suspended your campaign and embraced the bailout.

Face it, you were handed an easy victory and a election defining policy difference with Obama and you blew it.

[mc6809e]

The last evangelical president we had really screwed us. Are Palin supporters asking for a "do-over"?

[cripplecreek]

Thank you.

Let a thousand flowers bloom
Meaning

Encourage many ideas from many sources.

Origin

Let a thousand flowers bloom is a common misquotation of Chairman Mao Zedong’s “Let a hundred flowers blossom”. This slogan was used during the period of approximately six weeks in the summer of 1957 when the Chinese intelligentsia were invited to criticize the political system then obtaining in Communist China.

The full quotation, taken from a speech of Mao’s in Peking in February 1957, is:

“Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting progress in the arts and the sciences and a flourishing socialist culture in our land.”

It is sometimes suggested that the initiative was a deliberate attempt to flush out dissidents by encouraging them to show themselves as critical of the regime. Whether or not it was a deliberate trap isn’t clear but it is the case that many of those who put forward views that were unwelcome to Mao were executed.
