McCain Defends Palin (Weakly)

I think sara palin needs to go back to Alaska with her moose-hunting pals, shooting wolves from helicopters, and whatever the hell else they do out there, and keep her face from in front every damn camera she sees. It's almost like she wants to make sure her face is close to every press camera and reporter she can find who'll interview her. She's trying to make sure keeps her face on any news channel she can find in order to stay on a national level. If the GOP uses her as their new face, they're the most detached, divided, bunch of ignorant, backwood dipshits I've ever seen!! Sara Palin puts the "S" in the word "stupid" more than ANYONE I've seen in my lifetime.

JOHN MCCAIN LOST BECAUSE HE RAN A VERY DIRTY CAMPAIGN PERIOD...NOT WEAK...DIRTY....I THINK HE IS ASHAMED OF HIMSELF AS HE SHOULD BE....PALIN'S STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE WAS A SLAP IN THE FACE OF ALL AMERICANS...IT SHOWED HOW MUCH MCCAIN WANTED TO WIN AND HOW LITTLE HE CARED ABOUT THIS COUNTRY.HE LOST THIS RACE BECAUSE HE HAD NO INTEGRITY.

I ONLY WISH PEOPLE WILL STOP BRINGING PESSIMISTIC COMMENTARY CONCERNING BOTH PARTY OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE. OBAMA WON. PALIN WON'T BE A GOVERNOR IF SHE IS STUPID NOR IS MCCAIN. BOTH PARTY CARES FOR AMERICA & WORKED HARD TO PROVE IT. BUT ONE HAS TO WIN. OH,THE PERSON THAT USES THE WORD STUPID, IS THE VERY STUPID ONE. SO STOP CRITICIZING THE CANDIDATE & GET A LIFE. GOD BE WITH THE ELECTED PRESIDENT & BLESS AMERICA.

Uh Moh-Ron Article Writer! Your comment, "You were out funded 6 to 1 due to a stupidly principled stand for public financing." Well if memory serves me right, Butt-Rack "Da' Clueless One" was elected by 7 Mil based on the PERCEPTION THAT HE CAN BE TRUSTED OR that HE SUPPOSEDLY IS HONEST! Guess What Ein-Steen. The Promises that he has been making for the last 18 months started falling by the way side 48 hours BEFORE Election Day and continues as recently as yesterday! He didn't like the bail out, BUT NOW supports it since his buddies in the UAW, which supported him, are asking for the "help." So the next question is, DO YOU HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT HAVING PRINCIPLES MEANS Mr "by Dave" article writer? I am STILL taking a wait and see attitude with Robin Da' Hood, but at least I have principles and will STICK TO MY WORD (singing) .... giving Butt-Rack a Chance (to prove himself)!

John McCain is EXTREMELY gracious. He's a good guy and I feel sorry for him because Bush stole it in 2000 and then Palin BLEW it in 2008.

You're crazy if you don't realize that with his being so advanced in age, people didn't listen to the crazy blather coming out of her mouth and think-OMG, she can't be President...

It could be that McCain has moved on. Maybe, unlike many on both sides, he sees no point at in rehashing arguments about who did what, who said what, who should have done this or that.

There was no way a Republican was going to win this race, short of Obama doing something so patently stupid that it essentially disqualified him from running.

McCain was never the number 1 party choice as a presidential candidate. This was the perfect time to run him. We knew he wasn't going to win from the start but somehow that got lost along the way. Most likely in the initial enthusiasm generated by Palin.

Just as it's completely ridiculous for Democrats to continue to trash Palin while demanding that we all fervently support Obama, it's ridiculous for Republicans to point fingers at who's to blame for what in this race and demand that both the presidential and VP candidates continue to fight the fight.

It's over.

McCain is a classy guy. I voted for him and was proud to do so. He may not have been my first choice but
between McCain and Obama it was not a hard choice.
I am not sure what is worse Obama or his fans.
In the USA we have the right to speak our minds, lately it feels like if you don't agree or like Obama you are a stupid, bitter, rasict person.

***
Stay classy Obama fans, stay classy. You are proving my point each and every day.

McCain lost because of the Bush policies & actions. Voters, Dems & Reps alike, have been fed up with the downturn of the economy as well as the Iraq war for a long time. No other V.P. selection would have made a difference for McCain. Look at other Reps who lost their seats....because of George W. Bush.
It's time Sarah Palin is allowed to live her life without being chastised. Too many other Reps were not for McCain in the first place, but I don't believe ANY Rep candidate would have won (because of GWB).

If you had a mind we would listen. Second, if the shoe fits wear it.

Exodus - Chapter 2, The Preparation

On the second day of Preparation, the Beloved One traveled to the city of Wind by the lake. He met with His Unifier, who had returned from a difficult journey. The Unifier sought consolation and pardon. “Beloved One, I hath failed thee, the multitudes remain restless.” “Merchants and money changers are streaming from the land.” “They fear thy ruinous policies will cause great losses of wealth.” The Beloved One responded, “Fear not Unifier, I shall prevail!” “This is an historic moment and I shall grant no favors.” “No representatives of special interests shall be permitted to bring gifts to Me, to lobby Me or to ask favors of Me.” He knew from ancient times, gifts carried obligations, and He would not be influenced. His ties to other distant Eastern nations were strong, and mere offerings of gold and silver would be rejected. Then, He retired to His quarters, to rest and to contemplate what would be.

Exodus Chapter 2, Verse 2, Lines 1 - 12

There are still a few of us in this country who admire principles. Not many, but a few. The fact that so many didn't care that Obama challenged McCain to take public financing and then bailed when he realized he could have more cold hard cash by going back on his word speaks volumes about the American voter.

People like to forget that McCain was way up in the polls (about 10 points) until the financial crisis caused by the Dems came into play. People panicked and blamed the wrong people and it hurt McCain. It's not his fault people don't do any research, but just listen to the crap the media feeds them.

Now they have elected Fannie Mae's golden boy, the same man who helped cause the crisis and they are waiting for him to save them. Gotta love the irony.

Weak and dirty? John and Sarah did the best that the could do and
against all odds? How sad...and once again a person that tries to
tell you the truth in their own words, is weak and dirty?

Truth is stranger then fiction. I stand firm with John and Sarah. My
view is that we support the president-elect of the United States but
we don't have to agree with it.

Some are doing nothing more then beating a dead maverick...what exactly would you like us to do? Telling Sarah to move back to Alaska is the same as telling a black person to move
back to Africa...that ain't wright!

Surrounding yourself with yes, men and woman is priceless. Somehow if we don't all drink the kool-aid we are racists and nothing could be further from the truth IMHO!

It seems like taxation without representation to me. So how about all the hard working average JOE and Joanne REBUPS stop paying taxes?

Mr. McCain Thanks for picking Palin as your running mate. Your first decision was a bad one. Good thing you lost...who knows what the next stupid decision would be. Go Obama!

I admire and like Sarah Palin as do all my Republican friends. She is an exceptionally bright articulate woman.The brightest part of this election! Her success as Governor shows that very clearly. Senator McCain did his best,
Now that Obama is filling his staff positions with the same good old boys whe served under Clinton it is proof to me what he is all about . A wonderful orator, somewhat of a puppet (time will prove this). There will be a huge backlash from all of this Obama cannot possibly do everything he promised. He is not as many Democrats believe "the Messiah" They wish!!!!
I think the media were disgraceful in this election picking on Sarah Palin's wardrobe etc, all untrue by the way. No one questioned that Obama could have bailed a lot of people out of debt instead of his ridiculous spending. Besides he was untrue to his word, Senator McCain was not.
His glory will be short lived.

I think what Dave says in this entry is what many have said all along. The republicans don't like John McCain. When he pandered to them, they never trusted him. When he tried to remind independents about his record, it reminded republicans why they don't like him.

But here is you flaw Dave. You are assuming that the Bush/Rove/Atwater style campaign would have worked. The fact of the matter is, under the current conditions, there was no way they would have worked. The right wing wack jobs, along with Palin had the base fired up out of fear of Obama. However, McCain could NOT attract independents because they were concerned about real issues - not the "Obama is scary" or "liberals are part of the real America" non sense.

The real irony here, is that after eight years of Bush, the country was ready to move in a different direction. For right or wrong, that's a fact. McCain is the ONLY repbulican who could have won this year. And he could have done it by allowing his independent, maverick reputation appeal to moderates. Instead, he and his campaign decided to try to "swift boat" Obama and he essentially lost the swing vote. When ever issues were brought up, he'd say: "I know how to get this economy moving." Maybe he should have explained how rather than going to the character assasination well one last time.

Give me a break and stop whining. So what, he didn't like her. Does it really matter. She showed herself to be inept and a complete dud who didn't appeal to the demographic she was supposed to. OK so, move on.... for the next campaign go back to you core values. If you are putting your hope in the GOP on Sarah Palin great, George Bush in a skirt. See how well an ignorant, uneducated, religious zealot in a skirt does this time. Give me a break. The BS Rep. party ran this country into the ground with it's greed and "morality", and this campaign ruined my respect for John McCain, who I voted for in the 2000 primary.

It is time for everyone to stop bellyaching and start moving this nation in the right direction. The election is over and nothing will change it.

It is amazing to me that people expect politicians, pastors and other leaders to somehow be superhuman and above making mistakes. Every one of us has weaknesses. It's part of the human experience. Why do we feel it is necessary to rip other people to shreds just because we don't agree with them or what they do or say?

I know John McCain and Sarah Palin made mistakes, but I still choose to respect them for what I believe are their honorable intentions.

I didn't vote for Obama, and I wasn't thrilled that he got elected, but he did. So, regardless of whether I agree with him or not, I will respect the office and give him the benefit of the doubt.

Don't get me wrong. It's not like I put a great deal of stock in anything any politician says. But, if we had any that told us the truth, would they have any chance at all of getting elected?

No, we say we want the truth. But the politicians give us what we really want - they tell us what we want to hear.

Mc Cain did not conduct a POSITIVE champaign
! ! !
and no backing of Bush ! ! !
Palin has time to be herself & run for office in 2012 ! ! !
