‘I think if you look back, despite the far right’s complaints, it is the centrist that wins the nomination,’” Mr. McCain, an Arizona Republican, said he told Mr. Bush.

And loses the general election.

Try not to say “you people” and especially don’t call conservatives “wacko birds” or “hobbits”.

The only reason I could find to vote for him was Sara Palin.

McCain is no centrist. But he is a loser.

...

Win the nomination with the help of the strong arm tactics of the GOPe, and then lose the general against one of the worst Democrats, ever. Both McCain and Romney are experts at that.

If you want to win, look to Reagan, not McCain. He won two landslides for president.

Simple solution for Jebbie: run as a Democrat.

If you have to go to McCain for advice, you clearly don’t know what you are doing.

Not stupid, but corrupt as all get out. They’d rather have big government and graft under the Democrats, than to win with a smaller and more honest government platform.

Why should they want to?

The GOPe is nothing but RAT Lite, but this time served in a fancy stein instead of a paper cup.

And of course McCain sees himself as a centrist.

McCain is in a position to contaminate any new politician that comes along. Arizona, we tried to warn you. Now we all have to deal with this guy and the people he turns.

Interesting. I like Sarah Palin but I do not like that she endorsed this decrepit POS. I have voiced that here on FR but it was argued by many that she had little if any affect on his reelection. Given your above statement, I have to wonder how many others voted for him ONLY because of SP.
