McCain camp: (Palin) Book 'petty and pathetic'

McCain sure picked a bunch of winners. I'm coming to the realization that these type of people are like one step above lawyers on the evolutionary scale.

You know, if I were the average member of senior staff on that campaign, I think I’d probably consider the virtues of keeping my mouth shut and leaving politics for something I could be usefully employed in. Whatever that might be.

Unfortunately Palin is too radioactive to be a viable candidate in 2012. Not that I wish that but it just is.

I love Sarah’s observations. The way she thinks about things. The rest of it? Meh, I don’t care what those campaign losers have to say.

Unfortunately Palin is too radioactive...

According to her book sales...she is more explosive than radioactive.

In this instance, I think it's time to bomb the Rinos.

Another, “I like Sarah, but...” post? These happen on every thread about Sarah. If ya’ll don’t like her, why not just admit you support someone else? I don’t understand it.

I can see it coming. The McCain losers are going to sell millions of Sarah’s books for her in the near future. LOL

If he used the f word in front of my 6 year old, me or my wife would have slapped him!

Last year before Sarah had her first press interviews as the VP candidate, it was known that Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric would get the first ones. Many of us here commented - before the interviews took place - how stupid it was of the McCain campaign to give those two the first interviews, long interviews which they could edit down as they saw fit.

That was a monumentally stupid campaign decision. I have to admit that it bothers me that Sarah could ever have thought that Couric would be a friendly interview, but it was beyond obvious that those two should not have had the first interviews, and should not have been long lengthy interviews to edit down. It almost sounds like Sarah was set up, as anyone should have know how those interviews would be conducted.

Yes, IT works for Willard the RAT.

Mccain got beat by an empty black and white suit because his campaign didn't have the guts to go after a radical communist. They tried to marginalize all conservatives who wanted to expose Jobama’s connections to radical racists and hardcore America hating commie rats. The Mccain staffers should be banned from politics for attacking Palin more then they attacked their communist opponent.

My Gawd, even if you hated this womans’ guts and opposed all her positions, how can a person *not* respect how she has held up and indeed shined against the relentless attacks from each and every quarter, including her former alleged campaign staff? They ran arguably the most incompetent campaign in recent memory and these weasel slimebags have an obvious agenda to preserve their political careers against a record of abject and utter failure. She added ten points to McCain’s numbers and without her we would be looking at an absolute blowout electoral margin.

That, my friend, is so true. That of course, results from leadership of the King of Clowns, himself. Ah, yes he wrote the book. Whatever character he had was lost the day he found himself back from his heroic time as a POW and in the midst of his openly adulterous relationship with his present wife, Cindy. What a looser he turned out to be. His mealy mouth rhetoric alone has sealed his political ambitions. This jackass will thankfully never be president. He is a status quo, limp, wimpy, bumble-headed politician. He is in the business of staying in business and I want to puke every time I hear the sound of his slurring, monotone voice. Nothing that Sarah has to say about how he ran his campaign surprises me. She is the silk purse while he is just a sow’s ear.

"Schmidt was importuned by several of the Republican aspirants for president earlier this year.
Mitt Romney sent him an antique chair to symbolize a seat at the table."

"Romney would not say whether he’d been vetted,
but did insist that the vice presidency was a subject he had never even so much discussed with McCain,
with whom he often tangled bitterly in the primary campaign.
So I tried another tack, recalling that I had been in a car with McCain and his then aide John Weaver,
reporting a piece for V.F. in the fall of 2006,
just after McCain delivered an address at Boston College’s opening convocation.
Weaver’s phone rang, and it was someone at B.C.,
informing him that Romney’s office had just called to ask when he would be invited to speak."

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin's bid for the White House,
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin.
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
He's in charge on November 5th.'"
The Prowler added: "Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Romney supporters in the McCain campaign had access to internal polling which indicated well in advance of the November 4 election that McCain had no chance to win.
So they began working to position their man Mitt for a run in 2012. Just two days after the election,The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
These aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"Here’s what I think: I think there are some staffers on the McCain campaign who seriously screwed up the roll out of Sarah Palin, to which Governor Palin herself objected.
These staffers are now out trying to finish her off thinking, as typical D.C. types do, that if they don’t do it to her, she’ll do it to them. They just never understood who Palin is or what she is about."
"Likewise, I do think there are some staffers and others who expect Mitt Romney to run again in 2012,
they decided McCain could not win, and decided to undermine Sarah Palin and her chances hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

McCain, in this instance, is doing the smart thing. His presidential bid aides however, are simply being themselves. That is to say petty boors who feel they must blame everyone else but themselves for losing the election to a two-bit neighborhood organizer from Chicago.

And it looks like Schmidt has latched on to another loser—Romney. Frankly, I doubt Romney will survive a GOP presidential primary—even if Palin does not choose to run as a Pubbie. His time has come and gone. Moreover, the results of the state run health care he’s foisted on Massachusettes is the poster child for a failed state-run program.

Perhaps Sarah is taking the ‘high ground’, but I don’t understand why she keeps making statements like this from today. We need some REAL straight talk for a change.

“.....and the incredible honor it was to run alongside Senator John McCain.”

From The Vitamin Press

Isn't it interesting that these campaign managing losers hone in on the only positive thing going in McCain's campaign and blame it for their failure? Rather than use her appeal to the hilt to make McCain a winner, they treat her like she is the loser they have to hide and they are the winners with McCain. If it were not for Palin, McCain would have gotten around 30% of the vote.

These people are deluded or evil. No doubt, they proved they are absolutely incompetent - like the guy who hired them and lost an election to a Marxist with no background! Instead of making Obama their opponent, they made Palin their opponent!

Liberals have such a ridiculous advantage in American politics: unlike Conservatives, who naturally gravitate toward the private sector, liberals are so numerous in government that they have sufficient resources to spare dedicated solely to sabotaging the other side. Conservatives, on the other hand can barely cobble enough people together to run for office.

One cure for this malady is a national party based on ideas and passion; dedicated not to trying to convince people to like them, but to playing smash-mouth, kick-ass-and-take-no-prisoners politics.

When a Democrat lies, don't complain, or say he's being "misleading": call him a lying dirtbag - in public. When a Democrat accuses you of wanting to starve children or throw granny into the street - call a news conference and have a truckload of manure sitting there. Then, tell the news media that you wanted to debate your opponent, but he declined, so you did the next best thing and brought a sampling of his ideas. You gotta think outside of the box, people. Have fun, stop whining and start winning.
