If McSlime tries to reach across the aisle again we need to chop his darned arm off.

How the hell did this putz win in the primary?...

Massive money left over from the election he threw, used to smear his opponent day after day after day.

If you donated anything to his campaign against Obama, you are responsible for his winning the Primary.

He conspired with Huckabee to gang up on Romney.

“It is not an affirmation of Republicans. So Republicans have got to come through and satisfy this outcry — this anger and frustration — that’s been expressed.”

It won’t be satisfied by Mccainism

Well, it depends upon how you use the word REPUBLICAN,(RINO) if it means people like McCain, no affirmation, if he means people like Palin, then YES< this is an AFFIRMATION of those Republicans.

Yes, he is. But he’s also right about this. The Republicans are benefiting from Free Republic-what, a 15 year precursor of the Tea Part-and the Tea Party movement. They’ve betrayed us before and will do so again if they are give an inch to do so.

"The moral of this story is that this election is a repudiation of Obama and the Democrats," McCain said on Fox News. "It is not an affirmation of Republicans..."

I think he left out a couple of words:

"... this election is a repudiation of Obama and the Democrats, and RINOs."

When McCain talks, all I hear is the peanuts teacher...

His words mean nothing because his actions are the opposite of what he says, always.

Well, he comes off like a wet blanket, but...I think McCain’s also right on this one. I very much believe the post-election GOP is going to be “on probation”, as one pundit put it. If the party backslides to big spending and squishy conservatism again, they’ll be out on their ears in 2012.

Juan doesn’t even know what a Republican is. Why does he think he can speak for them?

That's actually one hundred percent correct.

The problem, of course, is that (once again) McCain is talking the talking when we all know too damn well that he won't walk the walk.

The old duffer is sharp as a tack (sarcasm), it’s an afformation of conservativism not the party,
if they don’t get it we will send them packing too!

God Bless America, if it can happen here it can happen
anywhere. World take note.

Here in Ga, the day started dark and blustery, nasty
looking, now the winds are calm and the sun is shining,
a harbinger of things to come?

On to Victory in 2012 with Sarah Palin!

McCain (D-AZ) is correct. The Republicans did nothing to deserve to win.

The Democrats message in 2008: we’re the change we’ve been waiting for. We’re not the red states, or the blue states, but the United States.

The Democrat message in 2010: VOTE FOR US, YOU STUPID, IGNORANT BIGOTS!!!! They did this because their policies failed, and wanted someone to blame. So they blamed the voters. Big mistake.

McCain is right— this is entirely the Democrats imploding, even though he is part of the problem on the GOP side.

This is the guy Arizona decided to have represent them for another six years. If they’re going to use this poor judgment, we should be allowed to vote on him too. He represents us too unfortunately.

Well here we are. And sadly, this guy has formed a group of Senators that will haunt us for years to come.

That is the single biggest poopie diaper of this election.

John should be made to wear it on his head business side down.
