Just before the Christmas break the Boston Globe published a lengthy postmortem on Mitt Romney’s massive failure as a presidential candidate. Between this, and the constant hand-wringing by Geniuses of the GOP™, I think we have beaten this dead horse to a pulp, but there was one thing that came out of this article that has me as angry as I have ever been over a politician.
Before we get to that, let’s step back in time to 2008. Like 2012, the Republican Party didn’t exactly put forth an all-star field of candidates for voters to choose from. In the end it came down to Mitt Romney, Corupt-o-crat Mike Huckabee, and John McCain. With McCain in the lead, and on a bit of a winning streak, Romney did the right thing and bowed out. Huckabee hung on a little longer, for no particular reason. McCain became the nominee.
As you know, McCain had been running his campaign on a shoestring, at one point he was flying commercial and carrying his own bags. Obviously, the situation improved. But McCain was short of campaign staff, so here comes Mitt Romney and his people to the rescue. All well and good, so far. McCain still had problems and was down in the polls until he picked his running mate, Governor Sarah Palin. It was after Sarah was chosen that things picked up, considerably. Massive crowds started showing up, volunteers showed up to man local GOP offices, and money came pouring in. McCain’s choice of Governor Palin was brilliant.
Dishonest media hacks have tried to sell the lie that Governor Palin cost McCain the election, something many in the GOP, especially those loyal to Mitt Romney, have parroted non-stop for the past four years...

When you are 4 on the list, and it is addressed to post 86, and it is addressing the topic of post 86, things are as clear as day, the fact that you still don’t get it is extraordinary, as is your language.
I have never seen anyone here work so hard to avoid having to simply admit that they made a mistake as you are.
Weird. When you read post 92, and looked back at post 86, how in the world could you think that it was attacking your pro-Palin posts?
You interpreted this as being anti-Palin, and siding with wtc?
“”Palin is the most influential republican politician in America, she is doing more to reshape the office holders in America, to her individual liking, from the Congress, to the Senate, to Governorships like Sanchez and Haley, than any other politician in America.
Not only did she play a role in about 60 races in the history making victories of 2010, but in this election, while you Romney lefties were having your head handed to you, Palin gave us our only Senate pick-up with Deb Fischer, and gave us Ted Cruz of Texas over Dewhurst, Palin had a good election.””
I also pinged Timber Rattler with this post, do you think that he will become as confused, and stay confused, as you clearly are?
Yes, but McCain staffers think Obama's a good man and Stalin was a rabid right-winger.
What is your problem, dude (or is it dudette)? YOU are the one taking this issue to a confrontation. Many posts ago I said you clarified your comment, so at that time the matter was closed as far as I was concerned, and I thanked you for the claricfication. But, noooo...you took upon your nself to toss out ad hominems and try to take this to a whole new level. If that is your game, then damn it, LET’S PLAY BALL!

And you are an argumentative jerk. Who you calling a chick?
Amazing, you still seem angry about having been pinged to a pro-Palin post.
I’m not at all angry. Amused; but certainly not angry. And, as for pro-Palin posts, keep them coming, as I am quite pro-Palin.
