I couldn’t agree more. Without Sarah Palin, John McCain = Bob Dole.
think so....I live in the peoples democratik republik of michiganstan, and the gop here is not even worth being called a joke...it is nonexistant...
Despite nasty remarks like this, Mitt campaigned as hard for McCain Palin as anyone. You have no evidence that Mitt Romney ever attempted to sabotage the GOP ticket. I think Mitt did a wonderful job sticking up for McCain when there was obviously so little good to say about McCain. Mitt kept making the rounds of the news shows and putting McCain's ideas in the best possible light.
It is almost like the "white supremacist" movement in the 1980's, wherein there were more government agents and informers than members. I finally left the GOP - after 34 years of being a registered Republican - because of the underhanded and infuriating way that the primaries and caucuses resulted in the selection of John McCain. Obama was (probably) worse, so I supported McCain after it was a fait accompli,... but putting Sarah Palin on the ticket was actually something I was excited about.
John McCain and his loyal staff of character assassins have really pissed me off today; they don't have the balls to go after Hussein, but they can absolutely destroy Sarah Palin? Screw these mean, gutless jackasses... and screw the horses they ride on. It is time for every Republican who actually possesses character to split off and form a parallel party that is separate from the country club/RINO's... the brand is done, leave the name to the asshats and they can graft themselves to the jackass party they are more comfortable with. They will do us less damage as enemies, rather than quomdam friends.

Prominent Republicans have echoed that idea. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of McCains closest friends, suggested that Sen. Joseph Lieberman, an independent Democrat from Connecticut, would have brought independents to the ticket. Last week, former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge said that had McCain picked him, the Republican Party would have had a better shot at winning his state.
Lindsay Graham is a whining weasel. Part of the Surrender Coalition of the Republican Party, always willing to cut deals with the Dems. What does he mean about Lieberman? I thought McCain was supposed to win us all the independents? What does it say about Graham who believes the best way to get independents to vote Republican is to run with a Democrat?
And Tom Ridge? He’s the knucklehead who spent his days as Secy Homeland Security holding conferences at resorts all around the country rather than secure the homeland. Pompous blowhard.
People vote for president. To blame all this on Palin is the RINOs way of ignoring the real issue, no one really liked McCain, and all of the other VP choices were BORING.
Here’s an e-mail contact form where we can tell John McCain to lay off and stop badmouthing Sarah Palin:

Actually, the best method would be to get a complete list of McVain aides and eliminate any possible 'good guys'.

I agree that she has no experience ,, with east coast republican blue blood treachery. But now she does.
Folks, now we can see what kind of scum we are up against in the Republican Party. Rush is right. These kooks have attacked Sarah more than they did Obama and all of his radical friends.
Facts: McCain was a loser from day one, as RINOs always will be. The only thing that revived the McCain campaign was Sarah. Not even a strong woman like Sarah could carry McCain’s baggage. The leftwing thugs and their RINO surrogates are going to do everything they can to destroy Sarah. They will try to destroy any Republican who isn’t from their loser circle.
I knew McCain was going to lose on Super Tuesday when McCain sewed up the GOP nomination.
Just adding to the list:
Anybody named Bush.
Anybody married to or parent of or child of a lobbyist.
Anybody presently fawning over BHO.
I agree. Reilly lost my respect last night, when he let Cameron spew uninterrupted. Fair (reporting unsourced rumor)? Balanced (not letting a Palin rep respond)?
It seems to me that those who swore they would not vote for McCain out of "conscience" succeeded in electing a Marxist to the Presidency.
Er, Clinton beat Dole 379-159. Obama beat McCain 349-163, (with Missouri and NC still outstanding).
Not a whole lot of difference there. Palin did not elevate this campaign in any meaningful way.
“Specter has always been a loose cannon. If you want to have a stomach ache, get this. His opponent in 2010 may be Chris Matthews.”

Then we have to get Spector out in the primaries! Who could beat him? Lets start this purge with Spector. Give me a good name and lets start the talk of his/her run. My checkbook is ready (don’t tell my wife).
We need to axe all of those that dump on Palin.
Rush said yesterday that over the next several weeks, he will be talking about many of these things. He doesn't want to rush through them, but wants to take the time necessary to explain them all in detail. Be patient.

Here’s the herd that voted for the bailout plan in the senate. I haven’t heard them trash Palin, but they certainly trashed conservatives. Does anyone doubt that if McCain had come out strongly against this bailout we would be celebrating Vice President Elect Palin?
I wasn’t intending us to break the law, but I think you know what I mean. Give the conservatives in the minor leagues the attention of the party and the public. Follow their careers, promote them when you can. We must rebuild the major league team from the minor leagues.
