STUPID JERK, took him long enough. Check it out, the guy on the radio was talking this morning and said that the McCain-Finegold bill turned out to destroy McCain in the campaign yet Obama got millions upon millions.

Gov. Palin is a female success story, a married woman with 5 children, who attained her position by her own hard work at an early age. The left hates her to no end, rightfully so, because they really see how capable she is. She is the threat to their image the modern day woman, and their claiming she is dumb is totally absurd. Hopefully, “She’ll be baack”!

” Everyone by now, including Carl Cameron and Bill O’Reilly, should know the MeCain insider was a HOAXSTER !!

Way to go Fox !! “

Other than Levine, and here I haven’t heard this anywhere else.

Has anyone seen it some other place?

"Just like his campaign. Too little, too late on all counts."

You beat me to it!

For crying out loud, he defended Obama much more rapidly and with more conviction then his running mate that gave him an excellent shot at winning. McLame. Disappointing on so many dimensions.

I always believe what the guy on the radio and the voices in my head say.

This was not a defense of her...he gave the media and everyone else a pass last night. He didn’t defend her...he said he was proud of her. He should have called out the lies one by one and smashed the people who did the smearing. He generalized it and laughed.

F-ck him.

"Gov. Rick Perry on Fox this morning-—that’s how you do it. Way to go....he’s got her back.

Didn't see it - in summary - what did he say?

+1. I had a neighborhood Democrat laugh at me yesterday when she saw me talking down McCain for a bit and said “You weren’t singing that tune a week ago”, I said “I campaigned for America...not John McCain”, she didn’t get it at first but it sunk in to her skull when she heard me talking about the damage the Democrats and Obama will do to this country and already are doing.

Too bad Perry is a huge RINO along with Crist,McCain, Rudy, and a few others that we need to throw the hell out of the GOP. They are Independents...and come off as bad used car salesmen.

What's he supposed to do? Call a press conference every time the MSM wants to promote a false premise?

Did the MSM call McCain and report his response? IMO, McCain could not have handled it better.

“I campaigned for America...not John McCain”,

...same here. I campaigned for America and a hopeful future that included Palin. Dems simply voted out of either A: hatred for Bush. B: ignorence C: both

You mentioned that “it sunk in to her skull” about your neighbor. Did she say anything? Ask anything? Seemed surprised at what you were saying about the “damage”?

I have a question of sorts about the election I wonder if anyone can give me some answers......I believe as Palin does, that the election really started to slide toward the Libs once the economy really started to lose force. My question is, I believe that Obama and the Dems in Congress did all they could to rip the economy so it would drop and turn to the left. It is my understanding that Obama asked the powers that be in Iraq to delay the removal of troops until after the election (fact or fiction?) so it is not above him to ask others to do what they could or don’t do what they could in order to sway the election... I just am not sure how they did it.....did they purposely load up all these bail outs? I know they did all they could but they could not stop gas prices from falling so they didn’t have complete control but I would like to understand better what exactly they did do......anybody??

Gov. Palin is a female success story,

Agreed. John was weighed down with Bush while Barry made sure he never shook him off his back- which folded neatly into his 'change' message. Sarah kept this race close. Economic uncertainty kept it out of reach, my friends.;^)

The Smiling Shyster of the Saraha will bring change allright- a change in living standards that I hope his idolators enjoy as what they have gets even smaller "for the common good", don't cha know.

I wish McCain would retire, and get out of the way.

How about this, call off his dogs and defend Gov Palin from the beginning, not weeks later.
JM is a vindictive, angry little man, I believe his lack of response demonstrates who he really is.

I thought it very disappointing that he made such a lackluster defense...

Mac the maverick can now go back to the senate and reach across the aisle to his demorat buddies again. At least he got out of the POW cage with his battered arms still attached to his body. The demorats have now chewed them off at his shoulders. Even the repubrats won’t pay him any more attention. The only good thing he did was bring Palin into the national stage.
