Today on ABC’s This Week, when asked by host George Stephanopoulos whether he would support Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin if she runs for president, Sen. John McCain punted:
“Oh no. Listen I have the greatest appreciation for Gov. Palin and her family and it was a great joy to know them,” McCain said. “She invigorated our campaign and she was just down in Georgia and she invigorated their campaign.”
“But I can’t say something like that,” McCain said, “We’ve got some great other young governors… Pawlenty, Huntsman.”
Pressed by Stephanopoulos that McCain had considered Palin to be the best person to succeed him if he had been elected and something had happened to him, the former Republican presidential candidate replied:
“Well sure, but now we’re in a whole election cycle.”

Yet, the very classy and loyal Gov. Palin will no doubt campaign for him when he runs for his re-election in 2010. This man has no honor.
McCain knows he got as many votes as he did because of Palin and only because of her.

Let this be a lesson. No favor to McCain ever goes unpunished.
He is in a class with Arlen Specter.
There were two reasons I supported John McCain:
1. His name wasn’t Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.
2. Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska.
Any questions?

That is bloody AMAZING! What a cad!
obama winning is alot easier to swallow when I listen to a snake like McCain
I feel like such a tool.
OTOH, Palin continues to run around the country and praise McCain. He sounds very ungrateful and petty. She is a class act, no doubt.
What a total ass.
BTW she did not make Glamour Mag most important women of 2008.
You got that right. Sarah Palin was responsible for more than half the votes he got. Now he's showing his true colors in the face of defeat: they're shades of YELLOW.
I am so glad that we peeled off our McCain/Palin bumper sticker right after the election - I will not be voting for him as my next senator from Arizona...J D Hayworth are you listening? Please pick up the courtesy phone for running in John’s seat?
“But I can’t say something like that,” McCain said, “We’ve got some great other young governors… Pawlenty, Huntsman.”
That dirty rotten no good RAT basturd, I knew he didn’t like her,
He was jealous!!!!!!!
I have two things to say to John:
1. I did not vote for Obama or Biden. I did not vote for you. I voted GOP because Palin was on your ticket.
2. Next time you cross the aisle to work a deal with your pals in Demo party. Do us a favor and take your Senate name plaque with you and stay over there.
Hey Johnny Mac: I want my campaign donations back. You obviously don’t appreciate them.
You’re a zero, McCain.
You couldn’t remember whoe did more than anyone else to get you elected. I think the NVA stole your sense of loyalty and your Americanism.
Go Sarah!
Honestly I don’t think he liked women,
He just used her,
OH, why would we want a honest person in office?
Hoping she is anyway.
More elitism, who can I use and throw away, we just got her for the little people
This is unreal. He really is trying to implode us.
We could have won with Romney/Palin.
McCain, Crist and Huckabee, rot in hell.
Of possible interest...
I did the same and feel the same now. McCain is the kind of Republican that will keep loosing to the Democrats every time. Four years from now, if, God forbid,he were to try to run again against Obama, his campaign will be themed around this: “Obama, my worthy opponent, please beat me some more!”
We here in Arizona know him for what he is. Saying it would get me banned as a Freeper!
The gift that keeps on giving. How did the party come to such a sorry state that we ended up with this mushmouth?
McCain makes me sick ....
McCain should be condemned by the GOP for sabotaging the party’s chances of re-occupying the White House.
He virtually surrendered to Obama mid-fight.
I get it now,
We have to get her elected.
Payback
It’s pretty damning reflection on the GOP that this asshole was the nominee.
Great leaders are few and far between indeed .
I feel privledged to have been able to vote for Reagan twice, the last great American leader, the Republic is doomed.
He is so jealous of her. He’s acting the same as when he lost to Bush. Even though he didn’t win the election, he actually lost to Sarah, not Obama. He’s just a putz!
That’s the best thing that he could have done for her!
In his twisted mind, he probably thinks that she is responsible for his loss and he will do all that he can to undermine her for the rest of his life.
McCain’s hatred for Bush led him to form his own little shadow presidency and undermine everthing Bush tried to do, thus making Bush more unpopular than he would have already been. I have found a lot of sweet irony in the fact that the democrats defeated McCain by tying Bush around his neck.
Sigh. He had a great record in the war, but he is a lousy Republican and lousy Senator. McCain-Feingold is a lengthy suicide note from the GOP, and he blew the election...Wish he would not run again and depart in peace.
Ditto to what you said. I voted for McCain ONLY because he was on the same ticket as Governor Sarah Palin. Until he selected her, I was trending towards being a “stay homer.”
This is exactly the way I feel. I'm not so sure that, given our choices, the election turned out exactly as it should have.
He’s got Alzheimer’s anyway, probably doesn’t even remember her
OH wow, that’s a great point,’
She outshined him.
Another reason for McCain to simply leave... don’t stay around..., thank you...
The ever thankful and gracious McNuts! /s
I can't read McCain's mind. I can only review the evidence, like everyone else.
My sentiments exactly!!
Put ‘em against each other in a primary...Maybe she’d pick him for a V.P., but I doubt it...
I beg to differ. I think he dislikes everybody. I really do. People like that can be successful politicians and high school principals.
I do not like McCain.
He and Lindsey and Joe will exert a powerful force on the Senate. They will make Dingy Harry suffer. They will not promote or offer a conservative friendly agenda. It will take a centrist stand and what they want Will prevail.
They will be able to scrounge up 41 votes to kill what they oppose. McCain will be the force to be reckoned with in the Senate.
This thread is evidence of the intent.
After what he did to his first wife, is anybody really surprised?
That’s the best thing that he could have done for her!
In his twisted mind, he probably thinks that she is responsible for his loss and he will do all that he can to undermine her for the rest of his life.

OH I see,this is why I love this forum.
Who the hell is John McCain and why does he matter ?
Seriously, this guy is yesterday. SP is the future of the conservative movement and the GOP, IF the GOP wants a future.
The shear force of her personality and her steadfastness to principles..OUR PRINCIPLES..will blow these old fart RINO’s away......we all have a lot of work to do over the next four yrs....but as far as I’m concerned....it will be a beautiful thing to see these bastards being overrun by the frieght train known as Sarah Palin.
The truth always slips out first.
He used her.
He condemns himself with these words....the snake
BUT!!!..because of him she appeared on the political scene, and millions of us will never be the same.
She brought sunshine to politics.
God will use this for good, He already has.
