Shut up, stoopid. Why don’t you just take a nice, long vacation?
Never saw this coming... /s
The gift that keeps on giving. Atta boy John... proving me right year after year after year.
Yeah, yeah. McCain is a clown. He will be a thorn in the side of conservatism for years to come.
I am seriously considering either the independent party or the constitution party, just so I won’t have to be in the same party as McCain and Powell. Maybe we can talk Sarah into changing parties to Independent and then all the conservatives can move to that party and let the dems and republicans merge into one big liberal love fest. We can take Jindal(spelling?)with us also.
Had my support only to stop the “magic negro”. Now McLame has none of my support.
McLoser just can't say anything nice about Sarah Palin, can he?
I feel like we will find out some day that not only was there massive voter fraud in this election, but that McCain threw it on purpose.
You (and I, to a lesser extent) took a lot of heat when we warned people about this loser. Well, he managed to exceed our somewhat low expectations and show himself to be an unworthy candidate time and time again.
At the convention, at the end of speech whe he said "Fight with me!" my first thought was--I already have been! Fighting YOU, numbnuts!
But alas, Sarah stole my political heart, so I voted for McQueeg to give her a shot at the White House. I hoped she could help us get a conservative voice at the table.
McLonney needs to just join the Dems and be done with it.
Imagine, we had an election with not one, but TWO Manchurian candidates!
Maverick, my sphincter!
The Republican Party was poisoned by statists like Bush and McCain. As a result, the Party has no credibility on matters of individual freedom, limited government, rule of law, and so forth; in fact, all the Party has shown itself to be is a "mini me" of the Democratic Party, which is thoroughly infested with Marxists.
I hoped she could help us get a conservative voice at the table.
Maybe, maybe not. But, consider that Univision interview and Palin's "McCainian" remarks: either she is actually not in favor of amnesty for illegals, and McCain's operatives sanitized her remarks, or she's stupid...or, she actually is for some semblance of amnesty. In any case, a McCain-Palin win only would have created the illusion that conservatives had "a voice at the table," so to speak; it also would have constituted an affirmation of all the crap that Bush and company have done since the 2000 election, and that would not have been a good sign.
As for Palin, I think she's a likeable character...but then again, so was Thompson. Unfortunately, she will be forever tied to McCain's throwing the election, so regardless of how conservative she was or ever will be, I don't know if she will be back as a serious contender for the race in 2012.
Of course, it's four years away, and a lot can happen. I could be wrong. It's a pity; with some terrific pro-Constitution, pro-rule of law, pro-limited government advisers, she may have ended up as a second Reagan...but we may never know for sure.
Reading stuff like this makes me almost glad McCain didn’t win.
Waving the white flag, dropping all weapons, and crawling to the enemy ready to kiss his boots. While trembling with happy anticipation.
Sickening.
As I review the career of John Mccain, in congress
I have come to realize he has been collaborating with the enemy (democrats).Based on this track record,
I am beginning to believe that he collaborated with the enemy in Nam.
McCain is devoted to the one party Republicrat system. Conservatives need to dump the OP (formerly the GOP) and join a party reflecting their values. Only then can the two party system be restored.
Yeah, then there's this:
The Controversy ... Hero or Traitor ... What do you think?
On one side, we have McCain's supporters with their version of key events in the Senators life. On the other side, we have the "NO" McCain camp, naturally with a radically different version of the events. Who is telling the truth? (Or more probably, who is telling the most truth)
From the "No McCain" side.
He was shot down October 26, 1967, and by November 9, 1967 he was giving interviews to foreign correspondents, providing information on his prior command, casualties and tactics, in direct violation of the Code of Conduct. (The U.S. military Code of Conduct is the definitive code specifying the responsibilities of American military personnel while in combat or captivity. Article V of the Code is very specific in ordering U.S. military personnel to avoid answering questions to the utmost of their ability and to make no oral or written statements disloyal to the United States and its allies, or harmful to their cause. Any willful violation of the Code is considered collaborating with the enemy.)
The Communist Vietnamese erected a bust of John McCain beside the lake where he was shot down. His defenders say that this is a tribute to the PAVN gunners that shot him down....
...While testifying before the Senate Select Committee, the very man McCain claims was responsible for his own torture, his interrogator, "The Bug" was appearing. When the moment of confrontation came, McCain rose from his seat, walked from the podium to the floor and stood face to face with the man who was responsible for torturing him and countless other Prisoners of War...McCain then grabbed the man and embraced him!
He has been a consistent advocate of lenient treatment of Vietnam.
While a member of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs (1991-1993) he referred to POW/MIA Family Members and POW/MIA Activists as whiners, vultures and the lunatic fringe.
John McCain is like Bachman-Turner Overdrive to me.
I never want to hear from them again.
Post of the Day contender. I would dash off a theme song parody, but I've promised DFU and others that I've sworn off writing them.
You said it. What a jerk. All he had to say was:
"It was an honor to have Sarah Palin on the ticket with me in 2008. She deserves great credit for helping to bring our Party together and together we gave President-Elect Obama a real run for his money. I wish her all the best in whatever campaign she chooses to run in in the future. But really, we're hardly out of 2008's. So ask me again when the candidates present themselves in 2012.
Win-win for both of 'em.
MEMO TO POW McCain: don’t collaborate with your captors. Name, rank and serial number. Nothing more.
Breaching Oath and Duty to lay down on the job under the Democrat bus is the OPPOSITE of doing it in a Liberal Tiananmen Square.
Taking a Mcdive is not heroic, it’s cowardice in Maverick drag. Don’t go there. FIGHT!
Senator McCain, I pray for your single-mindedness and vertebrae and call on you to use them for God and Country.
“Republican Sen. John McCain says he’s ready to work President-elect Barack Obama on economic and national security issues. “
So, had McCain been elected, the outcome would be the same.
I have no regrets about not voting for him. But I wonder where all the freeper McCainiacs who supported him are?
Some...have been....zotted. Others, in hiding.
AGAIN!
