Top McCain aide: We might have stripped Palin of office (Palinoia at a Defcon One level!)
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | October 7, 2011 | Jay Bookman

Nicolle Wallace, White House communications director under President George W. Bush and senior adviser to John McCain, has begun to talk openly about the campaign’s problems with Sarah Palin.

I’m not interested here in rehashing the shortcomings of the former Alaska governor. None of that’s relevant any more, because I doubt she’ll ever again seek elected office. However, I do want to point out a remarkable bit of information that Wallace dropped into a recent Time interview:

“There certainly were discussions — not for long because of the arc the campaign took — but certainly there were discussions about whether, if they were to win, it would be appropriate for her to be sworn in.”

Let’s think about that for a minute, shall we, because that’s one for the history books. Within the upper echelons of the McCain campaign, they talked about stripping the vice presidency from Palin AFTER they had used her to win?(continued)

How in the world would they go about negating the electoral college? What is it about her that drives them mad? Or is this poisoning the well for the future?

Well, that quote goes a long way to explain "the arc the campaign took."

Boy, that’s classy, eh...and crooked at best. They should shut-up, it says way more about than Palin.

If they had decency and common sense, they would hang their heads in shame.

Yep they are dyed in the wool liberals. Big gay activist progressive Republicans. I my opinion they should never work again in Republican politics and if I find any of them working for a candidate I’ll know they are stupid and not worthy of support.

Nicolle Wallace finally comes out as hopelessly mentally ill and too emotionally damaged to be allowed into the competitive political process.

Who let her in?

Well McCain was never going to win because he threw the election and is a bitter and unreliable old fool.

Good Lord...what kind of trolls and hacks do our politicians hire? Do they not check for mental stability at least?

If McCain had won, it would be BECAUSE of Sarah Palin, and had he tried such a stunt there would have been riots all over the US.

So two Bush/McCain party hacks (apparatchiks) would have overridden the votes of 70 million Americans? Getting a bit of a grossly swelled head here, ain’t you Nicolle and you buddy Schmidt or whoever you nobodies are.

Isn't it amazing all these homosexuals and lesbians are in a sort of cluster rotating around John McCain?

Just what did the NVA do to that man?
