Schmidt is the snake on McLame’s campaign staff who orchestrated the attacks and backstabbing of Sarah Palin in ‘08. And McLame himself never said a mumbling word in her defense. A truncoat creep in Nam, and a cowardly creep back home. IMHO.
You know, I hear this a lot lately, and I don’t buy it.
Why would they even select Palin just to turn on her and lose the election?
No, I think McCain actually chose her, but after that, didn’t do much else.
Remember he grew up as a very privileged admiral’s son and became an admiral himself. Officers like this have a tendency to expect everyone to know what they’re thinking and just do it. Besides being that kind of an officer, he didn’t like fights. Or at least he didn’t want the hassle of countering someone opposed to him. A “reach around” kind of guy.
In other words, I’m calling McCain a bonehead, not a backstabber. Schmidt and Nicole Wallace were able to portray Palin as going “rogue”; saying she was looking past the 2008 election towards 2012. Well, since McCain wouldn’t fight, maybe this was true? I think McCain believed them and that infighting sunk his campaign. No one should have hired Schimdt or Wallace ever again, but these two losers make a lot more $$$ than you or I!!!
