it left a bad taste in my mouth for many conservatives on this board and also for the other candidates, including McCain....There is no need for hateful criticism of any of the GOP candidates.

But what about McCain, he's not a candidate for anything. Can't we continue to make gratuitous, derogatory and uncalled for remarks about the reach-across b@$+@rd?

Well, I will give you a dispensation for Mccain, since he’s not running again.

And, as I feared when he got the nomination, he was a terrible campaigner!

What’s past is prologue. Let’s look forward and learn from our mistakes during the 2008 and 2000 primaries.
