This is man the lifeboats level BS.
And I just knew right then and there we were going to get nailed.
McCain’s campaign was about as potent as limp wood pre-Palin.
What a crock. E&P is completely irrelevant.
Good...they have every reason to fear her. She will be their undoing.
GO SARAH GO!
Let the MSM, the DNC, and the RINOs take their best shots. Sarah will come out of it all the better positioned to help us take back our country as a result.
John McCain sunk his own campaign. It had NOTHING to do with Sarah. If anything, she HELPED his campaign.
>> Because John McCain and his people bought it, hook, line and sinker.
Rewriting ‘the strategy’ to fit the outcome.
People actually get paid for writing this kind of nonsense?
Democrats on the Republican Party -
42% think it should look to McCain for the future. Twelve percent (12%) of Democratic voters see Palin as a future role model, and 40% aren’t sure what’s best for their rivals.
“Unaffiliated” voters on the Republican Party -
46% of unaffiliated voters say follow Sarah Palin, while 26% like McCain. Just five percent (5%) give the nod to Bush, and 22% are not sure which way the party should go.
Favorabiltiy -
“Again, the party differences are enormous, although Democrats clearly like McCain more than Palin while for GOP voters the opposite is true.”
“Palin fares better with unaffiliated voters, too. For McCain, unaffiliateds break 10% Very Favorable and eight percent (8%) Very Unfavorable. But 35% of unaffiliated voters have a Very Favorable opinion of Palin, compared to 15% who have a Very Unfavorable view.”
So if we believe Rasmussen's polling to be true, Democrats do not want us to follow the person who polls best with Independents.
Now do we really need an answer as to why Obama’s liberal attack dog media desperately want to veer us away from her?
McCain and Palin were edging closer, were narrowing, with unprecedented passion for the Governor...when the orchestrated financial "colapse" occured.....case closed.....
and the Rat media didn't just fall in love with their messiah at the convention....THEY COVERED HIM FOR TWO YEARS AND TOOK A HUGE ENTOURAGE TO IRAQ WELL BEFORE THE CONVENTION1
they knew what their marching orders were.....
may God have mercy on their souls for this diabolical arrogant idiot we have now....
Gregg,
You’re full of condensed monkey malarkey, I think.
McCain destroyed the campaign. Palin kept him from being thoroughly embarrassed on election night. It was only as “close” as it was because of her.
“The truth about Palin”? What the devil is he talking about?
The GOP was doomed when it let the media pick its presidential candidate.
Sarah almost turned it around.
They wouldn’t keep going after Palin if they weren’t scared of her. They hate her for the same reasons they hate you and me. She’s normal, she’s principled, she believes in God and she believes in America. Pick anyone else who believes the same and the press monkeys will go into the very same frenzy. Bork, Thomas, Quayle, GW, Cheney and Palin. If you’re normal, decent, and you believe in the American principle, they are going to savage you non-stop until your very name becomes a punchline for late night comics. They’ll make sure all the smart people hate you, the smart people who get their views from the View and the Comedy Channel and the alphabet networks, that is.
McCain lost the election all by himself, and he did it without PUMAs, Palin, the MSM, or anyone else.
McCain lost the election on Wednesday, September 24th, 2008, sometime in the mid-afternoon, iirc.
McCain sealed his fate by suspending his campaign so that he could return to DC and oversee the bailout. McCain was needed, he assured the world and only his leadership could fix things. He was gonna be like Superman, except old and prone to irrational outbursts.
McCain said that the situation was critical, but of course that didn’t stop him from then meandering around the east coast for a day or so before eventually returning to DC, where he stood around, angering both parties and going along with whatever the Democrats wanted.
Them at the start of the following week, McCain stumbled back onto the campaign trail, having shown the American people and the entire world that he could not, in fact chew gum and think at the same time. He proved himself to be erratic, without principles, and without a clue.
McCain may not have won even without his grandstanding idiocy, but once he committed himself to such foolishness, losing was a done deal.
Don’t blame Palin.
Don’t blame the mythical PUMAs.
Don’t blame the MSM. In my lifetime, there have been more Republican presidents than Democrat presidents. They all managed to get elected with a liberal media, variously successful vice presidential running makes, and so on.
Place the blame right where it belongs, square on the shoulders of John McCain.
If we don’t admit the truth (that we somehow managed to nominate someone who should never have been nominated), we can never move forward. It’s so easy to blame everyone and everything else, but it never helps.
