WASHINGTON (AP) — Of course it hurts to lose.

And John McCain also says that after losing the election to Barack Obama, the easiest thing to do would have been to feel sorry for himself.

But the Arizona Republican is back in the Senate, part of what he calls the loyal opposition to Democrats in power, and ready to work with Obama.

We need to work to unseat Sen McCain and put a Traditional Conservative in his place.

McCain is as not a bipartisan, he’s a Democrat masquerading as a RINO.

Obviously, McCain's staff directed Palin. She was his VP pick. She agreed to follow his lead.

Why are you supporting this POS?

He threw the election and screwed every conservative.

When he supports Obama’s attacks on the 2nd Amendment are you still going to be planting you lips on his ass?

I could get in a game of two on two basketball, and get Michael Jordan as my teammate.

Getting Michael Jordan doesn't mean that I tried.

Notice the MSM is still in attack mode on Sarah. They always were. They knew that Sarah was the real deal for the Republican base.

During every debate, McCain would bring up a point, and then drop it as fast. He never finished the thought. It was as if he were going through the motions.

Revelations from anonymous critics from within the McCain-Palin campaign suggest a number of complaints about Palin.

Fox News reports that Palin didn’t know Africa was a continent and did not know the member nations of the North American Free Trade Agreement — the United States, Mexico and Canada — when she was picked for vice president.

The New York Times reports that McCain aides were outraged when Palin staffers scheduled her to speak with French President Nicholas Sarkozy, a conversation that turned out to be a radio station prank.

Newsweek reports that Palin spent far more than the previously reported $150,000 on clothes for herself and her family.

Several publications say she irked the McCain campaign by asking to make her own concession speech on election night.

An oxymoron. Opposition means you work against something, not with or for it.

And this was who we were supposed to vote for as POTUS on the R ticket...sheesh!

Two-timing back stabber. Inept. Later his campaign trashes her later and he just sits there.

Has he ever defended her against others such as members of his incredibly screwed up campaign.

Proof is in the pudding and it aint there. Is McCain helping Palin now? Making here more marketable for 2012 or 2016?

Didn’t think so.

McCain is a liberal.

McCain fights for McCain-Feingold? McCain-Kennedy but not for McCain-Palin. What is the difference?

Palin is a conservative. Feingold and Kennedy are fellow liberals.

Can anyone remember how angry and vindictive McCain was towards Bush in 2000 and noticed how conciliatory McCain has been towards Obama?

McCain was hurt by the loss to Bush much more than to Obama.

Bush was a little bit more conservative that McCain. That made McCain mad, but losing to Obama? Heck, losing to Obama didn’t hurt, Obama and McCain think alike.

McCain says he doesn't have a lot of regrets about his losing campaign for president.

No, he left those for conservatives to deal with.

Other things McCain has no regrets about:

Ramming McCain-Feingold down our throats.
Leading the charge to close GITMO.
Pushing carbon tax credits and the Global Warming Scam.
Refusing to support drilling ANWR.
Shoving "Immigration Reform" down our throats.
Pushing for support of the Bailout Scam.
Completely ignoring conservatives as a "republican" POTUS candidate.

...just to name a few.

Snicker?

Like the snicker Zero emitted when he said “I won, I will trump you”?

Not very classy. I’d expect it from a lib, though.

One needs to remember who "made" John McCain. Morris Udall, considered very liberal in his day.

Also a democrat.

I won’t forget it either.

I am very polite when the RNC and Maine Republican Party calls-I simply say I am not giving them any money.

Newsweek may report that, but it is a blatant lie.

Sarah herself stated that the $150,000 worth of clothes were for options to try them on. Most went back immediately, never worn.

Newsweek also employs Jonathan Alter, a lying POS if there ever was one.

They can sugarcoat s*!t all they want. I’m not bitin’.

If you picked Michael Jordan to be on your team it would prove that you wanted to win, wouldn’t it?
