McCain asks aides not to rebut Palin (as McCainiacs continue to attack her)
NBC / The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2009-11-16 | Eric Zimmermann

Posted on 11/16/2009 11:36:19 AM PST by rabscuttle385

John McCain has asked his former campaign aides not to speak out against the charges Sarah Palin levels in her book, NBC news reports.

This news comes after a number of former staffers anonymously blasted Palin's recount of the 2008 campaign.

"John McCain offered her the opportunity of a lifetime, and during the campaign it seems that, for all of her mistakes, she is searching for people to blame," an aide said last week. "We don't need to go through this again."

Even as NBC reported McCain's request, they included another swipe at her book from a former campaign aide.

"It is unrecognizable at every instance. There is not one truthful account as it relates to any conversation I ever had with her," the aide said.

I believe Sarah over the George Soros crowd everyday

Yet the campaign staffers comment anonymously while Sarah goes on record. Hmm, whom to believe?

She is grateful to Mccain, but not the aides who don’t deserve it

Hey McCain, you wanted Sarah Palin as your VP, yet you allowed your “associates” to treat her like crap and be the scapegoat for your defeat. You lost because you were DULL and you kissed Obama’s ass. These losers Schmidt and Wallace will never work in this town again. Not even Romney is stupid enough to hire those clowns

every swipe by a McCain hack degrades the old warrior even further

we knew he wasn’t in the race to win and have long known or suspected his campaign was run by mealy-mouth idiots

Did any of the McCainiacs ever have a nasty word for those McCain staffers who LEFT the McCain campaign to go work on the OBAMA campaign?

Yup. Romney has his faults, but stupidity isn't one of them, even with his Harvard degree which seems to instantly network any aspiring politician with everyone of these assh*les.

McLame is a mealy-mouthed idiot.

How does that saying go? “Birds of a feather flock together”?

To carry his sorry RINO back-side to a respectable finish?

Palin made the election appear to be closer than it really was.

And, yes McCain has aids, again.

Okay, Mark Mckinnon once said he don’t want to campaign against Obama because an Obama win “would send a great message to the country and the world”

And this is Bush’s advisor. Bush were surrounded by crap advisors like this
