No. That’s not how we got McCain. Quite simply, the primary was too divisive between too many candidates, and McCain was the one left standing. By the time the Romney, Huck and Thompson camps were done savaging each other, only McCain was left. IMHO, the bitter infighting between those 3 is what gave McCain the nod.
That said, McCain is a good guy who had nothing but the best interest of the nation in mind. It sickens me to see him called a traiter and worse here on FR. Irony of irony, most of it seems to be coming from supports of his own VP pick these days. Disgusting.
It would probably have still been a pathetic primary though. Everything was pathetic this election...
Yeah, and it's pathetic to se McCain savaged too. At least he tried desperately to win.
Melas, you’re right, McCain ,i’m sure, had the best interest of the country in mind. obviously he’s a patriot and NOT a traitor...but why hasn’t he come to the defense of Palin? She being attacked from people in her own party and you hear nothing but silence from him...why?
I don't agree with him and most of what he believes in, but he in all his faults IS far, far better than anything hussein has to offer....
having said all that, he was too "nice" and his own work...McCain Feingold killed his own campaign as well as many other Pubs through out the country..the story of losing some of these House seats and Senate seats is one of 527's giving huge sums of money..
I will support any reasonable Pub candidate, because it defeats the rat.

It sickens me the John McCain is letting people from his camp smear Sarah Palin day after day and he doesn’t say a goddamned thing to defend her. He owes Sarah Palin more than he knows. He didn’t get beat by 15% and in 40 + states because of her presence on ticket. She damned near save him. And now he lets his people anonomyously smaear her day after day and he doesn’t stick up for her???? Screw him. We need to get a solid conservative who will take him out in the Republican Senate Primary in 2010. Let’s make this deafeat a postive for the party by cleaning house and throwing the RINO’s in the trash.
