Mark Salter, McCain’s long-serving chief of staff, is understood to have told campaign insiders that he would prefer his boss, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, to suffer an “honourable defeat”

Spoken like the loser that RINOs like McCain are.

[incredulous joe]

Don’t quote Salter on this.

The only words that he actually spoke were “honourable defeat”. He could have been talking about the Toledo and Michighan game today for all that you and I know.

I, for one, am not interested in suffering an "honorable" defeat. A defeat means the victory of a socialist with a background of radical left wing politics (insert Joe Biden's comment "past is prologue" here), a very unhealthy fetish for censorship of his political opponents, and who sees America as our enemies see it. Let Obama suffer a defeat, honorable or otherwise. For Pete's sake.
