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.
“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.”
The only reason that I decided to support McCain is Obama.
Thank you for the vanity post.
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.
Welcome to FR.
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.
That incoherent old coot is so much yesterday's news. He is pretty much irrelevant , leadership wise
“She is a conservative and it scares the Dems and the RINOS.”
Exactly
Thanks for the ride John. I'll take over now.
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".
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.
The Republican Party has to s#it these RINOS out, or we is screwed. I’m a conservative first, Republican second. SORRY!
And through all this back stabbing Sarah remains loyal to him and purely class.
What a loser
Bob Dole redux.

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.
>>>Thank you for the vanity post.
I thought that this was what the smokey backroom was for.
Try using your filters.
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.
