This would be the same senior staff that thought his running mate was crap and was sandbagging her during the campaign, when she was quite possibly a better hire than any of them. Right? I’m not overly impressed with their judgment, and I tend to think he was right not to be, either.

This is why no Republican will do their duty to defend the Constitution. Holder's people have them cowering.

But......if voter fraud were proved, it would have opened up the entire election to scrutiny. We already know Texas was thrown. Things could have been very different. I no longer wish to hear one word about McCain’s heroism. He canceled that with his bonehead concession.

Nicolle claimed they would’ve kept Gov. Palin from being sworn in as VP if they had won!!!

McCain is one of them. Sponsored NDAA, and a campaign financed bill largely ruled unconstitutional by supreme court . Advocated staying in Libya without congress approval.

“One analyst poured cold water on Mitt Romney’s election chances, writing in a 2009 email: “Romney can’t make it. Mormons are viewed as Voo Doo.” “

McLame was WAYYYYYY too enthralled with Obama to launch any kind of legal challenge.

McBain would have used any excuse to hand the election to BoBo

Very true. Based on his unwillingness to take on Obama with any vigor, I'm convinced McCain never desired to win that election in the first place.

McCain was urged to challenge the outcome of the election in couple of battleground states where widespread fraud was suspected.

But, it wouldn't changed the outcome of the election. The states in question didn't have enough electoral votes to make a difference.


I agree, but a concession speech that included a statement on the integrity of the voting process and a call for a full investigation would have been good.

You know how confident BO has been lately that he’ll have five more years.

They stole the election once and got away with it and are planning on repeating the actions again.

You’re right. This decision doesn’t make John McCain a traitor. He was a traitor before then.

Yeah. As I said on here at the time, I’m not sure how they could even have tried to do that without it turning into a huge legal and political fiasco. What a bunch of amateurs. As much as people like dumping on McCain here, these lawsuits (especially post Bush v. Gore) are not something to be screwed around with. You’d better win, and it’d better make a difference. If there’s any reasonable doubt in your mind on either of those questions, you’re better off not even trying. And if I were McCain, even I would have balked at the thought of going to court on the word of those guys.

By what twisted logic is it okay to ignore a fraud being perpetuated on the entire country.

He probably used his left over campaign money to run the ads of him walking the Mexican border, dishonestly claiming border security was his top priority.

Since reelection, he has not spoken out against fast and furious, murder of border agent in his backyard. He is more focused on ME globalist agenda.

Hilarious. You all hate McCain and say he was an awful candidate, couldn’t win, and half of you saying you would never vote for him. (You= McCain haters).

But NOW based on one BS memo, you’ve decided he actually WON the election and cost us this great victory due to his “cowardice” or “treason”.

Ansolutely rolling on the floor stuff.

“McCain felt the crowds assembled in support of Obama and such would be detrimental to our country....”

.
And Obama is good for our country?

McCain was and is an Obama Trojan Horse, and Romney may be cut of the same cloth.

You all??????????

I merely said that saving the country by not challenging his opponent’s eligibility created a bigger problem than he was trying to avoid.
