Not even worth a reply.

“There is no way Sarah Palin will rip McCain or anyone on his campaign staff in her forthcoming book. “

Mark this down as the only time I may agree with you, Cedric. Sarah contributing recently to McCain and Graham’s campaigns makes one wonder if she will ever trash their policies. She’s so much better than that and it was a bad mistake.

"Steve Schmidt is the Walter Mundale Bob Shrum of the Repub Party."

There. Fixed that for you.

McCain is such a tool of the media. Go Sarah!

[Cedric]

Then you shouldn't have made your vacuous statement in the first place.

[Tribune7]

Sounds like he did stand up for her.

We were ahead in the polls, until I cravenly voted for the bailout.

Fixed a little more ;-)

(good job T_S!)

[NordP]

I’m just glad he did something!

Ronald Reagan’s short list of prospective running mates included Howard Baker, William Simon, Jack Kemp, Richard Lugar, Paul Laxalt, and George Bush. There was also a cockamamie prospect deal to choose Ford, but it fell apart. Kemp would have been the perfect running mate for the Gipper. He had legislative and executive experience, was from New York (west-east balance) and was a conservative (at least more conservative than Bush or Ford!)that the moderate wing of the GOP would not have opposed. Kemp was a pro football quarterback that everyone liked. Like Reagan, Kemp was an optimist, and Kemp shared Reagan's vision for the nation. GHW Bush didn't even know what a vision was. - JP

One also wonders why one would call into further question ones already suspect legitimacy by tagging one, pathetic, Appalachian dweeb.

Juan need to go. Fast, and Far. He has never done a thing for the Pubbies, and very little for the Senate. John begone.

[chiefqc]

YAWN!

[Will88]

That’s what I thought... Get therapy.

Lol, you continue your unbroken string of posts which show no knowledge of the subject, and no ability to contribute anything but inane one-liners, conspiracy kookiness, and personal insults.

[Cedric]

Oh, my goodness, all caps.

Bush was great as C I C and his support for the military. After that he stunk......but he never said he was conservative, just a compassionate conservative...I never could figure out what that was then I had a Eureka moment...It meant social liberal......D- on domestic policy. A as commander in chief...F in freedom of speech, F in balls when it came to what the democrats wanted...

But in being a decent human being a A- I don't think he likes conservatives nor does his lovely wife Laura...but she was a great first lady...

I really didn't have much respect for him in defending himself against the lies told about him, so I quit defending him also. If he didn't care, I didn't either...

[chiefqc]

Wow, I’m impressed nothing gets by you.

Regardless of all your masturbating about "real legal and technical requirements (reserve requirements to support loans by banks and investments by investment firms) that were said to have reached crisis points because of the toxic assets represented by blah blah blah", it was six weeks before the freaking election - - not two years, or one year, or even three months earlier (or later) - - but, six.. weeks... before... the presidential election, when Henry Paulson burst out of the White House and announced that Congress needed to give him a blank check for a trillion dollars "by Monday" or the entire world economy would go into a catastrophic meltdown the likes of which has never before been seen.

Washington DC was in complete panic mode... McCain suspended his campaign and even asked out of the debate... bleary-eyed politicians were emerging from hastily called meetings, looking grim... Congress went into emergency session.

Bunky, if you think the timing of this announcement by Paulson six weeks before the presidential election! was no big surprise, and everybody knew there was trouble brewing, and "real legal and technical requirements (reserve requirements to support loans by banks and investments by investment firms) that were said to have reached crisis points because of the toxic assets represented by blah blah blah", was sheer coincidence, then you're a buffoon.

Have a nice life.

Oh I bet she'll address her disagreements with his staff, as as she already has. The media will make it out as a 'rip'. She will leave McCain alone.

But she will address it. Bet.

Thanks for the ping.

I see by some of the comments on this thread, some of the
Marxist Obama supporters and those who hope we lose the war
are showing their stupidity as usual.

There are many areas of disagreement with McCain but at least he doesn’t hate America as Obama does, and would not have had dozens of outright Marxists around him as advisors.
McCain has a son in the Marines who has served in Iraq and another, a grad of the Naval Academy and at flight school
now.

Those on FR who are so thankful that Obama won are either themselves Marxist trolls or children who still live in fantasy land.
