And the fact that you respect her views is one of the reasons I donât respect yours.
Iâll give John McCain some credit here. By endorsing someone who said McCain was not a war hero (because he was captured), Palin is crapping on the head of the man who launched her national political career. Given McCainâs temper, he is showing remarkable restraint here.
TPM:
McCain said that he has no plans to endorse a candidate in the Republican presidential primary, according to The Hill.
âIâm not considering anyone,â he said. âIâve got my own race to run.â
Shorter McCain: I canât afford to piss off any more GOP primary voters.
His lapse of judgment in elevating Caribou Barbie to national level aside, John McCain is not stupid. He knows perfectly well that he has nothing to gain and everything to lose by behaving any differently than he is now. He is going to go to his grave maintaining that he really, really didnât make a mistake in naming her as a running partner.
Hold on there, sonny. John McCain earned the respect of every right-thinking American when he named this fine stateswoman as his running mate.
McCain still wonât say anything that even hints that he made a huge mistake choosing Palin as his running mate. I guess that admission wonât occur until his deathbed.
John, if you ever want to be taken seriously again it is looooong past time for you to own up to the fact that Sarah was the greatest mistake of your life. Well that and learning to fly.
st johnnie will never admit how he was played the fool by having her foisted upon his campaign and he foisted her upon the country. he had no idea who she was â other than she was a female, from alaska, and hunted animals from a helicopter⌠the perfect foil for that black guy the democrats were runningâŚ
and even funnier, is that her ascendance gave life and organization to the teatards who now control the party. upshot â st johnnie is in some part responsible for the destruction of the establishment gop.
Whom the gods would destroy, they first get Sarah Palin to endorse (or vice versa).
Translation: She will do for his campaign what she did for mine.
McCain will never admit his mistake. He is a spent force. Should retire. Now that Shameless Palin has joined up with Bump will Bristol be far behind? And the announcement of a third pregnancy may well be a feature of their campaign.
Actually, I think sheâs got him by the short hairs. And, his pride is getting in the way of admitting he created a monster.
Shorter McCain: I was stupid when I picked her for VP, Iâm still stupid now.
McCain always proudly said âCountry first.â Under his breath he added ââŚafter my political ambitions and ass.â He doesnât possess the decency or good judgment to counter Palinâs wretched excesses.
Sarah Palin is GrandPa McCainâs chronic illness. He will never be rid of âitâ and so he has to try and deal with it.

I will never forgive John McCain for inflicting this half-assed brainless bimbo on us.
This is the whole problem with the republican party. They started down the road of the southern strategy in the 60âs and itâs taken them to the extreme right where Palin and Trump are their most popular candidates and they are embarrassed to admit they were wrong and put the train back on the track thatâs at least somewhat near center. You know there were a lot of parties in the US that came and went so it will be interesting to see if they are able to revive the republican party or if it will also die and if so see what comes along to replace it.
What can he say? Try asking H.W. Bush if heâs enjoying watching his political legacy strangle his sonâŚ
Actually, heâs showing remarkable dementia here!
