News has been circulating around GOP insiders for weeks that McCain campaign honchos Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt were planning to blame Sarah Palin for McCain’s loss. This was expected to be an effort to punt the blame for their own failures to the side of the ticket that was most popular with the base, attracted the largest rally crowds, and scared the living bejeepers out of the opposing party.

If he feels this way about her, where is he? He should have spoken up as soon as it started and nipped it, the Fox crap, in the bud. He should demand to know who is doing it and tell them to get lost. His silence is deafening.
There is little doubt that Obama did many illegal things to get elected. It’s up to us to expose them, find the evidence that links him to them, and get his butt out of the White House before he gets to implement his “Final Solution” for America.
Good analogy. The sad thing about it is that the dog doesn't try to get revenge, it just tries to please you better next time. It's the "where are they gonna go" syndrome. A dilemma.
How long has it been since this interview on Fox?
Has he been approached by a reporter and asked to comment on the Fox report?
Give the man a day or two to regroup. He may be sidelined with a personal issue, who knows?
Zhang, did McPain’s McCain-Feingold Act work against him in the election campaign? Is it like he cut his own throat?
Reagan did not remove old liberal holdovers. He hired James A. Baker, III, and Michael Deaver, who undercut him for years afterwards.
Reminds me of when the original President Bush went along with the Dems in an apparent attempt to be a genuine statesman, in the sense of honorable compromise, to support a tax increase. (After having publicly and emphatically saying “Read my lips...”) Then when the next election came around, they gave him no credit for being a “cross the aisle” kind of guy, but bashed him about the head and shoulders with his broken “read my lips” promise. I’m confident that at the time he thought the result would be good and that the Dems would be nice because he was nice.
Does anyone else find it interesting that the first donation to the McCain-Palin compliance fund was made on March 1, 2008, months before Mrs. Palin was officially selected as John McCain’s running mate?

What is to be made of this?
I didn’t support McCain-Palin because I think that a McCain victory would have been disastrous for conservative movement in the long term.
Now, I’m convinced that McCain intentionally “mailed it in” to give the election to Obama. He may even have voted for Obama, like many others in the Republican establishment.
You know, as much as I like and admire Palin—I don’t really know her, only from what I’ve seen here on the net and from what I’ve read. Tv has been disconnected for 20 mos now & will stay that way—but I was stunned that she could not answer simple questions about what newspapers, mags, etc she read, even if she just ignores print media she would at least know the names of AK papers, then there are Field&Stream, Am Rifleman, Time & newsweek—it is possible Kourik’s pals did some censoring to make Palin look really dumb, but then after seeing the results, she would have jumped on them with all 4 feet, no? She has a terrific personality and boundless energy but it’s really hard to see much ‘depth’ amongst all the fever of a pol. campaign.
“...a hard-core intellect with a sharp understanding of policy and tactics...”
That would be Richard Nixon. He won by a landslide against McGovern, won a close one against Humphrey, and lost a close one against Kennedy.
As Prez he did not help out the cause as even National Review condemned him for betrayal of the Conservatives.
I agree with you, on all the rich folks and how much they dumped into the one, as well as illegal overseas money.
The saddest most heartbreaking thing is that while all over the news we are hearing that folks looked beyond race and judged this election on character, just the opposite is true! This election lowered the level of respect for the office of the President drastically, by voting based only on color, and not even taking character into account. Not to mention judgment, which the man who would be, HAS Terrible judgment! And very little character, ethics, and yes I will say it, patriotism. Anybody can be President now only means if you have enough money. Nothing else matters. Heck the media (and the American people, not to mention the govt.) knows more about Joe the Plumber than we will ever know about Obama. We have not even been allowed to see his medical records, a common place disclosure for ANY and ALL previous candidates for the office. We know nothing, except that he raised a lot of money, a lot of which he has not even disclosed the sources of.
God Help America.
I followed that link a few days ago and was surprised—way back in March, yet it appeared at the convention that she was a recent choice—Mac just decided then to take her on. That is deceitful (shocked, just shocked I tell ya!)—it looked all along , the way Juan dragged his feet, played nice guy, then the bailout fiasco, that he was a willing fall guy in this. It fits in with the NWO, yes conspiracy and no I have no tinfoil hat.
Palin is the reason that McCain ever had a chance in the first face. This is shameful. Just shameful.
My dream commercial:
"On January 20th, (I don't want to mention his name) (will) promise(d) to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. During the campaign, he pledged to abide by public campaign finances...and then reneged. How many more pledges and promises will he...change?"
You will fit in well here then. :-)
Interesting that in the last 40 years, the only two war veterans to be President, at least on the Republican side, were Ford and HW Bush...and of those two, only Bush was elected. And I don't recall his service being the reason he won - likely more the reason was eight years of Ronald Reagan. No Dole (WW2), no McCain, Gore, or Kerry (Vietnam).
You should have demanded it be taken out of the payroll fund for those losers, long as you wbere at it.
