McCain: Don't blame Palin
AP on Bakersfield Californian ^ | 11/11/08 | AP

John McCain says Sarah Palin didn't hurt his presidential bid and he attributes anonymous criticism aimed at her following their loss last week to typical campaign sniping.

--snip--

The Arizona senator tells Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" the Republican ticket faced a tough challenge from the start but disputed that a different vice presidential pick would have changed the outcome.

Well, let’s see. He’s so pro-life the issue was barely raised in the campaign and he worked behind the scenes on the Gang of Fourteen to hurt our chances for appointing more good judges. So pro-life he wanted a pro-choice VP.

He’s so pro-military he went out and made sure the terrorists had constitutional rights.

He’s so pro-2nd Amedment that the NRA refused to back him in the election until palin was added to the ticket.

Free trade means nothing to me. So all you really have is pro-surge. Big deal. Leiberman was pro-surge too and I wouldn’t choose him as someone to lead the GOP.

Why are you here? You do realize this is a conservative website and your love affair with McCain is at odds with that.

Your contention that McCain is not pro-military is laughable.

Your hatred for McCain is unseemly.

Sorry you're so insecure.

Just to be clear: you haven’t provided any evidence that team Obama was behind all this post-election Palin smearing. You’ve pointed out that Cameron admits he was duped. Do you have anything beyond supposition to indicate that someone outside the McCain campaign duped Cameron?

I reference John McCain insisting on protection for the terrorists by limiting the options the military can use to obtain information in interrogations, and your response is to avoid the topic and level personal insults.

Cool.

I take that as victory in this skirmish.

I leveled no “personal insults” against you, not that they weren’t deserved.

Shame on you for wallowing in your petty hatred.

Run along now.
