John didn't want to appear ungentlemanly, but stood blithely by while the MSM shredding his running mate!
John was a hero for standing up to the Vietnamese commies while a POW, but failed miserably in advancing his (our) views on what the opponents would do to this nation.
He let his country down hard!
BINGO!!!
Gov. Palin lost this election because of John MeCain!
In all fairness to the idiot voters, McCain was the most irritating worst candidate ever. His nasal voice sounded like a tin horn stuck on b-flat.
His teeth were too yellow, and he IS TOO OLD for heavens sake. Americans like their president to be dynamic, charasmatic, engaging, bold.
McCain is NONE of those.
Seriously, I actually think that the GOP could have won over Obama handily had it picked a more articulate, dynamic, expressive candidate who had the balls to say what needed to be said.
McCains jowells remind everyone constantly that he is sort of sickly.
People in America like tall Presidents with swagger and confidence. McCain is short and frumpy, and is sickeningly self demeaning.
And McCain has absolutely NO CHARM AT ALL. Women flock to candidates with charm.
Reagan, GWB, even G. Herbert Walker Bush had some charm. Clinton had charm, for heavens sake!
Yes, McCain is a war American hero, with more integrity than me or just about anyone but he panders and seems embarrassed to be a Republican. Why should anyone else WANT to become Republican if McCain is embarrassed to be in that party.
When McCain won the primary, I vowed to not send him one cent. I never did.
I was in denial about McCains awful candidacy for about one week after the GOP convention. For one glimmering week, he had a chance, but he let his BORING instincts take back over by burying the only exciting thing in his campaign Sarah Palin.
Palin, whether or not she was a good pick, is the one who should be infuriated. She is a good and decent conservative, and was treated like garbage by McCain and his handlers.
McCain took a good and decent woman, an accomplished exciting woman Governor of Alaska, and with his refusal to fight like a man, turned her into a neutered, perceived outcast.
Like someone else said on another forum, the only thing I ever want to hear from McCain is a big, I was a fool who wrongly thougt pandering to the Democrats was the way to go. I was wrong, and I am sorry.”
He wanted to talk about energy...gas was too high. But he was for cap and trade, which would increase costs.
He couldn’t talk about tax cuts when he voted against them.
He couldn’t talk about experience after picking Palin.
He couldn’t talk about being different from Bush when he said on video that he voted with him 90% of the time.
That’s the price of being a moderate Republican. You can’t have a coherent approach.
McCain lost cause he didn’t get more votes than the other guy!
We're going to end up paying dearly because this LIBERAL CODDLING, CONSERVATIVE DETESTING, numbnuts is a nothing more than a DEMOCRAT!!
We might as well have nominated Hillary for nominee, she might have gotten more votes for republicans than this traitorist loser!
I believe that we are absolutely resolute in our determination to regain our composure and reengage our adversaries.
We will not take a McCain-type pussycat approach to our aggressiveness in retaking our nation from an amalgamation of communists, socialists, homosexuals, assorted pansies and downright anti-America rats!
John...failed miserably in advancing his (our) views on what the opponents would do to this nation. Well, what else were you expecting from... ? |

You were in the same audience as I was and watched his lousy performance against Obomba.
The very act of choosing a gaggle of losers to run his campaign was an egregious error.
One of the important issues that we never heard discussed was the pollution of our nation by illegal aliens, but then we knew which side of the border McCain stood: clearly implanted with el presidente Bush on the South side.
It was a poorly administrated campaign and it will cost this nation, and you too, dearly!
“Seriously, I actually think that the GOP could have won over Obama handily had it picked a more articulate, dynamic, expressive candidate who had the balls to say what needed to be said.”
not after the crisis/bailout and 8 years of Bush. Probably a o win situation. If we picked someone really good, he would’ve been wasted with no future. So maybe it was a good thing that we picked a dud?
A perfect description and article describing just how far out of the real world the Republicans have gone. I agree with the Author, the minute that he knew that McCain was “their fair haired boy” it was over
Here is the 'nut graph', as we used to call it in the newspaper writing business.
Not compromising is antithetical to what we were taught as children, but it is an absolute necessity in defending the ONLY concepts that keeps America healthy and strong and free. (think Goldwater)
I've actually gone so far as to refuse doing business with people I know to be rabid anti-American Democrats and Obama supporters.
And this 'moderate' approach will cost all of us dearly.
To me a 'moderate' is a silly fool who staddles the centerline and doesn't stand for a damned thing.
McCain appeared to be prissy and fearful of offending his communist opponent.
Of all the people in the United States we get an empty-suited communist and a liberal RINO.
Sarah Palin was the outstanding star of this disastrous sham of a presidential campaign.
Those hundreds of millions of dollars slipped into the country for Obomba's campaign certainly didn't help things.
. . . . .
"Senator McCain cannot step out and defend Palin every single time someone says something bad about her."
McCain has committed the ultimate treachery against the Republican Party, against its membership, against its core values, and against these United States. He must be targeted for removal from office no later than the 2010 elections.
And, when Rahm Emanuel goes after Lindsey Graham, stand by and let the chips fall where they may.
We have, to put it mildly, an intensely moronic electorate who are incapable of reading or detecting a liar when they hear one.
That being said, we haven't had a decent candidate since Ronald Wilson Reagan.
Now, it's too late. The nation will veer so far to the left that some of us think we'll be falling off a cliff.
The developing dismal situation will demonstrate that a strong, benevolent despot is required; perhaps someone of Francisco Franco's mettle. What passes for a democracy has worked magnificently for the left who yearn for a 100% nanny state administered by the millions who work for a corrupt, socialist central government.
