I blame McNut for King Obama’s election. That pile of sh!! is the most stubborn egotistical peace of dung that the Republicans ever admitted to allowing the R back of his name. Even so, I would rather have him as President than the communists leader King Obama. Palin would have been a fantastic VP and might have kept that nitwit in line.

Sarah was McCain’s VP pick, and as such it was her duty, in normal circumstances, to do what he said and to listen to his handlers.

It’s only too obvious that McCain’s handlers deliberately sabotaged her from the first minute they met with her, setting her up for two rotten and stupidly chosen interviews, refusing to let her talk to the press, and so forth. Finally McCain intervened and replaced the handlers, but it was already too late.

And, of course, Sarah was STILL under orders from the Boss not to talk about matters that might have led to Obama’s defeat. Reverend Wright—out of bounds. Communist mentors and pals—out of bounds. Obama’s extreme abortion record—out of bounds. And so forth.

Hard to win an election when your hands are tied. In the circumstances, it’s amazing how well Sarah did.

Amazing. I never heard of this simple pantload Steve Schmidt until he started to smear Palin. The Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms now love the guy, of course, so they’ve made him a “celebrity”... Which, of course, Schmidt the media whore enjoys and so off he goes on a Palin-bashing tour. “Look at me! Look at me!”

Somewhat revisionist.

"We were ahead in the polls, until the stock market crashed ... " McCain rushed to Washington to resurrect the bailout bill that had gotten trounced. Not only did he help resurrect it, but he assisted in getting about $184 Billion pork added to it. After JohnnyMc voted for it, his numbers declined significantly, and they did not improve.

JohnnyMc shot himself in the foot and blamed the Stock Market crash.

Facts sort of get in the way, JohnnyMc:

July 15 DOW 10,962  
Sept 23 10,854  
Sept 24 10,825 McCain Suspends
Oct 01 10,831  
Oct 10 8,451 Market Drops

McLame might as well pull a “Jeffords” or “Spector”, as he and Collins and Snowe (and Lindsay Graham) just vote with the Democrats every chance they get.....

Right. Notice how this is all coming out in advance of her book. I’m guessing she lays into the McCain camp (not necessarily McCain) in ‘Going Rouge’.

When truth and dishonesty meet there are tensions. Maybe even wars.

Schmidt has recently become a vocal public critic of Palin, predicting that a presidential run by her in 2012 would prove "catastrophic" for the Republican Party.

Catastrophic?

Like maybe losing the election and several Congressional seats?

So what happened with McCain that wasn't "catastrophic"?

“”And there were clearly tensions between Steve Schmidt and people in the Palin camp.””

What is that old adage about a man is known by the company he keeps...and hires in this case? In another article today, another aid of McCain basically blackmailed JD Hayworth for opposing McCain’s amnesty.

I hope JD beats McAmnesty in the next election...we need rid of this guy and his minions.

The D.C. wimps have no clue how to interact with an indepent chick from Alaska. It’s a whole different world there and women aren’t managed or handled. I expect Sarah didn’t appreciate the manipulation.

He should have gone with Sarah full force on DRILL BABY DRILL and sided with her on drilling in Alaska.

He didn’t even bother to accept her offer to visit Alaska to see the drilling site for himself.

He remains stuck in stupid.
