John McCain is cut from the same fiber as Colin Powell! Starts with backstabber and I want say where it ends!
I think we can now refer to the Senator from Arizona as
“Vote #60.”
I didn’t vote for McCain, I voted for Palin.
I’m pretty sickened at how quickly McCain has reverted back into the guy that he worked so hard to try to make us forget.
Good question. To be honest, after I read your post I realized I hadn’t thought about ‘my candidate’ having lost, as I have the relatively few times thats happened.
Same ‘nothing’ feeling I had with Bob Dole to be honest.
I’m disappointed that he was the Republican nominee...
No. McCain digusts me. But I would have been glad if Obama was the losing guy.
Agreed. But would have loved to see Gov. Palin take the oath.
Yes I’m disappointed. I think McCain would have been better than Obama.
Didn’t say how MUCH better.
I don’t think McCain took a dive. He really is that dumb.
Your opinion reflects my continuing opinion that Obama did not win this race, at all. McCain, and the Repub party, lost this election. A horrid campaign, deliberate or not, the net result now places McCain next to Obama to assist with a “fillibuster-proof” socialist Congress — all in the spirit of McCain-Feingold and illegal amnesty.
It all really sucks.
I’m only disappointed that a true conservative didn’t run AND win.
I fear for the future of our once great republic!
Yes, because even if he only provided a 10% difference, that is 10% we don’t have now. That also would mean at least one branch our party would control, keeping from giving the dems a blank check. It would also mean Palin would be the President of the Senate, balancing that better. It would also have mean that we would have had a higher turn-out, thus, we may have had better results in both the House and the Senate.
Problem is, the GOP establishment likes the process as it now stands. Why? Because it all but eliminates the chance of a conservative winning the nomination. (The establishment is infested with RINOs). So change in that regard is highly unlikely.
no, I am disappointed he was the candidate.
Four years pass quickly. When President-elect Palin takes the oath we will be a free Republic again.
I will be wishing to high heaven it was anybody but Obama,
while I’m burying my guns in the yard, or waiting on line at the free clinic we are all required to go to because insurance is no longer available by my company.
I may not have the 4 years to get my constitutional rights back....
It was a coin toss between to hopeless losers. McLame would have sucked as well. His only bright spot would have been Sarah Palin.
