WASHINGTON (CNN) - Former Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain has no illusions about the 2008 White House race.

"God bless them," McCain said Thursday at the Heritage Foundation when reminded of the tens of millions of people who voted for him last year.

"Over 50 million people voted for me and Sarah Palin - mostly for Sarah Palin," McCain said to an eruption of laughter. But "there was a sizable majority of the other party returned to Congress. And, elections have consequences. Elections have consequences. And these consequences we are seeing now in full display."

And, elections have consequences...

Yes, and so do pathetic RINO campaigns.

“McCain: People voted ‘mostly for Sarah Palin’ last year”

Slight correction: people voted mostly for BHO last year, thanks to the dynamics that put McCain on the ticket instead of a candidate who could actually win.

Once in a while the truth slips out.

Let me guess he is going to say SHE lost the election because most people voted against her?

I’m convinced he had absolutely no intention of winning that election.

Reality finally smacked him in the head...

Sarah was the only reason it was as close as it was.

Unless he was just looking for a cheap laugh, he is spot on with his Palin assessment.

Epiphany, Senator? You had the chance to lead, and instead you’ve allowed us all to be victimized as emotionally and mentally in many ways as you were.

A war hero you were long ago. A mediocre politician you are today.

Get involved as a delegate. Do not allow RINO’s to win the primary’s and loose the country. NO MORE!

Say what you will, that is an enormous statement coming from a politician. ANY politician. Most have such insufferable egos they wouldn’t admit to that if their lives depended on it.
