McCain is a Political Coward

Posted on 11/06/2008 10:22:53 AM PST by TheRogueRepublican

McCain rips repubs throughout the election and didn't attack BO. Now that he got his clocked cleaned...his aides are out trying to destroy Palin.

With him sitting on the sidelines not saying a thing, he is showing his true colors. Country First my ass....he is trying to keep his own legacy a float by letting this happen. This shows his true political cowardice.

I am a conservative through and through. The only reason that I decided to support McCain is the addition of Palin to his ticket. She is a conservative and it scares the Dems and the RINOS.

It is time to take this party back and start fighting for keeps. I am tired of bringing knives to gunfights.

The only reason that I decided to support McCain is Obama.

McCain fired Scheunemann, the only staffer defending Sarah. Don’t doubt that this comes from the top. He knows there is going to be a battle for the heart and soul of the GOP, and he knows Sarah represents the conservatives he passionately hates.

The attack on Palin is beyond belief. McCain should spend as least as much energy savaging those members of his staff who did this as he did savaging that poor radio guy who made the mistake of calling Barack Hussein Obama Barack Hussein Obama.

I am only a McCain supporter in an election next to Obama. He was the last Rep candidate that I would support. Having said that, he is no coward.

The McCain staff are career politicians, who get vested in the bureaucracy of politics. When their candidate gets voted out, they immediately start looking for their next job, sometimes even before the actual election. Thus, we had the leaks.

Last straw for me after being a registered GOP my entire adult life (37 years). See my tagline.

Same here. OK, I probably would have held my nose and checked the McCain/X box regardless, but with the addition of Palin I attended rallies and actively promoted McCain/Palin. I'm not surprised at the reaction of the r's; I've been expecting a backlash against the conservative wing. Palin put it succinctly--they're "little people".

Scram....our attacks are focused on Hussein, he is the first anti-American elected by stealth to the US Presidency.

He is now in the process of receiving national security intell....and giving it to our enemies here and abroad.

FORGET ABOUT MCCAIN...HE IS DONE.

And through all this back stabbing Sarah remains loyal to him and purely class.

What a loser

I was just listening to Rush speak on this theme. I really must agree with you. Sarah Palin MADE this campaign for McCain, it is most unfortunate that these lowlifes (who mismanaged the entire affair) are now allowed to get away with their smear of a true conservative and future leader of the country. I trust that Gov. Palin can save what is left of American freedom four years from now.

McCain is gone. He had his chance, and he didn't do it. Now, we need to have a great RINO hunt and start rebuilding the GOP into what it's supposed to be: the party of minimal government and low taxes.

Let's roll.

If McCain had run a stable campaign and worked to get everyone on board, he could have won. He’s too invested in keeping people off balance. It paid off with Sarah Palin, but to win he needed all the help he could get. He wanted to do all it his way and it cost him the election.
