Of course what happened after those 100 flowers were invited to bloom - is they were almost immediately thereafter, mercilessly smashed in the ensuing crackdown.

Palin may be part of a winning combination... YOU, McLAME, WILL NOT BE
ping to this.
McCain’s not that smart. IMHO there’s no conspiracy to cause to self-identify and then “kill off” (figuratively) non-RINO republicans. McCain is just being an idiot, which is quite believable and in character for him.
On the other hand, I can’t help but agree with the old guy when he says, “Let’s come up with a winning combination next time.”
That winning combination DOES NOT include John McCain.
McCain is such a douchebag. Surely SOMEONE must have some real nasty dirt on the SOB to wreck him in 2010.
Wow! GREAT post, very thorough. Far better than I would have done!
OK, off to ping Drudge et al.
Your obsession with McCain is bordering on the insane.
Why do I get the feeling the title is a rhetorical question?
WOW, that is weird, very weird!
McCain is really going ‘round the bend.
He should retire.
I will be really disappointed if Sarah lets anyone hijack the campaign.
Wasn’t this also attributed to George Herbert Walker Bush?
To all those getting on rabscuttle for this thread: On another thread I requested that someone post a vanity about this because I couldn’t pull all these pieces together in a vanity using my phone. I posted the orignal verification of rae4palin’s observation on that thread that McCain was (mis)quoting Mao Zedong. So blame me, not rabscuttle.
That said, this was either a not-so-subtle threat to those who challenge the RINO power structure or a Freudian slip. Both are awful: a threat or a revelation of an underlying Maoist subconscious. If you don’t think that’s hugh and series (freeper lingo for huge and serious for any newbies or lurkers), you’re nuts. And if you do but still feel a need to castigate rabscuttle, then I suggest you get a raise from your GOP establishment handlers for the embarassment of making fools of yourselves in public.
PS I voted for McCain (or rather for Palin and against Obama). I even defended him here of Free Republic during the election. I won’t make that collosal mistake in judgment about McCain again.

Most excellent. John McCain is probably, like an 85% chance, a Manchurian candidate, since he received special treatment as a POW in the past and gives special treatment to bad Vietnamese leaders in the present.
John continues to disgust me each and every day. If we do northing more than get rid of McCain in 2010, it will be a great year for the nation.
I don’t know what Snake/Maverick McCain’s intentions are towards Sarah Palin. I don’t even care. All I do know is....if he goes against Sarah in ANY way, he will pay dearly....and justly.
I have often wondered if that imprisonment he endured hadn’t radically altered his brain functions....not to mention his allegiances. I have officially stopped wondering.
