Arizona Sen. John McCain continued a call for national unity in his first speech since losing the presidential election.
Though the Republican presidential nominee has made television appearances as recently as Thursday night, his remarks at the Texas Tech commencement ceremony Friday were part of his first address since his conciliation speech, Tech Chancellor Kent Hance said in his introduction.
The senator's remarks to 350 Tech masters and doctoral graduates of a conservative campus in a conservative state echoed the call for cooperation he asked of his voters that night in November.
Americans must argue and defend their vision for their country in times of peace and of crisis, he said.
But the nation must argue as friends, he said.

that’s just brilliant, john.
a socialist word for a socialist.
Reminds me of the kid in High School who didn’t get the message that the other cooler kids DON’T WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU EVER AGAIN!
Filed under *ten thousand reasons the Republican Party is dead*.
He seems very comfortable with losing...
*
a) for his non-defense of Palin during post-election smears
b) not running truthful ads depicting pseudo-Reverend Wright & his ties to Obama
The guy likes to hear himself talk.
“I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air.”
“To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.”
“There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it.”
“If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.”
“Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.”
“If you want to cut your own throat, don’t come to me for a bandage.”
Margaret Thatcher
LOL!
I'd just as soon slap the snot out of an Marxist Obamacorn as look at them. Most people who know me say that I "don't suffer fools graciously." I think they are right.
I must have missed his earlier calls for unity.
Especially the week after the election when the media and people from his staff were trashing Sarah Palin relentlessly.
Beyond the fact that John McCain is the most un-conservative Republican presidential candidate in modern times, he does deserve the award for being the most ungrateful piece of disdainful carbon I’ve ever witnessed.
Nevermind the fact that he let his campaign be managed by the modern day equivalent of the Three Stooges. He sat and watched days afterwards when campaign staffers such as Nicole Wallace and Steve Schmidt spread despicable lies and utter bull in the effort to save their own hides. Meanwhile, his favorite Rick Davis scheduled interviews and made appointments to secure himself another losing campaign and take others along for the next teet-suckling venture.
John McCain was late for stump speeches. Never gave any more than 10 minutes to the (often) sparse crowds who dared to come out and support him. Meanwhile, his running mate drew record crowds in near cities and shook every hand, asked for every vote, held every baby and took every photo.
Just yesterday, John McCain sat on the David Letterman upholstered chair for the second time since November 4th. Nice to see he’s got his buddies back. Those same buddies who derailed his campaign and publicly ridiculed him nightly. I’m truly sorry that I can’t provide John McCain the public affirmation he so richly desires. But yet again, John decided to support his real friends in the Democrat party and proclaim their very own talking points over Governor Blagojevich by calling him “nuts.” It truly is a reminder to any conservative, any Republican, or any thinking adult that John McCain is nothing more than a tool of the Democrat party.
He was plan B. But they won. They got plan A. The fix is in.
John McCain ceases to pay respect to those who worked for his campaign and appreciate their sacrifice.
I now wash my car with the McCain t-shirts. I would no more wear it than I would use it to hoist a flag of surrender over my front yard.
Hance is the former Democrat Congressman for West Texas. And he was more conservative than McCain.
Reminds me of what our son (the lawyer, who, of course knows everything)wrote to an ins. adjuster who would not settle a claim, but kept asking for documents, pictures, more info, etc. on and on. Finally, our son wrote a letter to the man, enumerating his shortcomings and told him he never wanted to see him, receive correspondence from him, hear from him, or even hear his name ever again. He sent it certified with a copy to the agent's superior. That is basically how I feel about Juan McPain.

Kind of like you throwing away the election sort of unity McCain? Not for me. I do not bow to the demonic and the immoral and those that destroy the foundation of this great country. Just think if someone called for unity with the British back before the revolution? Get a grip.
You know, one whole part of me is so glad I don’t have to listen to McCain for the next 4 years, or watch him turncoat on his own kind (his Pub base). Good riddance to bad rubbish.
John, it’s over dude! Stop embarrassing yourself! Don’t call us again, okay?
LOL.....and while we’re piling on, don’t forget his concession speech (that he was in such a hurry to make on election night) where he went on and on about unity and Obama, blah, blah, blah.
