Just saw a Campaign Carl interview with McCain on FNC. McCain says Ifill is a pro and he thought she would be ok as the Mod. in debate!

I am just damn tired of McCain turning the other cheek!

Rush discussing this point of Ifill’s financial interest now.

I know. Get real McCain.

The candidate doesn’t make these types of statements.
Its the help and surrogates that need to name names.

McCain just didn’t turn the other cheek, he was down right mealy mouthed!

It's too bad that the Democrats didn't feel that way about "Campaign Carl" moderating one of their primary debates. Why is he so eager to dismiss Ifill's conflict of interest? I don't recall her coming to FNC's defense.

It's making him look like a wimp and an idiot if all he does is go with the liberal flow. Stand up, John! We know you can do it!

“McCain says Ifill is a pro and he thought she would be ok as the Mod. in debate! I am just damn tired of McCain turning the other cheek!”

I was about to post a comment saying I wonder when McCain will come out to remonstrate all those who’ve been questioning Ifill’s suitability to serve as moderator. I guess he might be saving the remonstration for later.

Lehrer, Ifill, Brokaw and Shieffer.

Who agreed to that? And they always agree to whatever leftists that are offered and never seem to insist on any more conservative moderators.

Excellent point!

What McCain should have said is “I have reservations about Gwen Ifill’s objectivity given her recent book and would prefer that someone else moderate the debate.”

At the mimimum, it would put Ifill on notice that she’s expected to be non-partisan in her questions.

But the bigger problem is that with the exception of people like Jed Babbin and Rush Limbaugh, no one from the GOP is really speaking out on this issue.

” I am just damn tired of McCain turning the other cheek! “

I cannot tell you the amount of calls and
e mails I have gotten the last 24 hrs from apoplectic friends and family about this
turn the other cheek crap.
A couple of the military mothers have been close to tears.
Obama is so flawed and so horrendous , the ads should be writing themselves.
It’s well past time for both McCain and also Palin to cut the happy go lucky, Boy Scout, my good friend garbage.
Too much is at stake-take..off..the..gloves !!
