To hell with the GOP.

Schmidt = Team Romney and Bush Backstabber

---

“Steve Schmidt, campaign manager for John McCain had this to say on last night’s Hugh
Hewitt show talking about the 2012 Presidential campaign:
‘If I had to bet money on it, if I had to bet money on it today, you’d have to say that the
people that I think look very good, very strong right now are Governor Romney,
Governor Huntsman. I think Newt Gingrich, should he run, is going to be a very
formidable, very formidable candidate. But the history of the Republican Party
nominating process is that it almost always goes to someone who’s been around the track
once before. And in that instance, in this instance, it would be Governor Romney. I
thought he was a very scary opponent looking from the other side of the table in that he
was almost like a learning organism at the end. He just kept getting better week by week
by week, and kept becoming stronger. And I think these national campaigns are very
unique, and I think most people learn a great deal with they go through them. And I think
one of the reasons that President Bush was able to make it through the process the first
time, unlike most people on the Republican side, is because he had been up close and
personal through a couple of national races. And I think Mitt Romney is a candidate, is a
far stronger candidate, prospectively, for the ’12 race because of his experience in ’08
than he was heading into the ’08 race.’”

"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."

I can’t wait to start receiving my RNC fundraising letters so I can tell ‘em to F-Off and what I think if their so-called leadership, mailing it back in their prepaid envelope.

[petitfour]

John McCain and his advisors appear to be all communists.

[DeWalt]

Didn’t they bring in Gov. Palin to be the “Lipstick on the Pig”. Now they are trying to turn it the other way. That dog ain’t gonna hunt.

[ryan71]

Steve Schmidt is a democrat plant. It could not be more obvious.

[central_va]

The RINO Party plays opposition to make it look like a two party system. It isn’t, it’s all fakery and socialism. Back to the future.

[Darren McCarty]

Steve Schmidt ran one of the worst campaigns I’ve ever seen in my life. Why the foxtrot should I listen to a damn thing he says? McCain couldn’t even win Indiana.

[Westbrook]

Sarah endorsed McQueeg for senator against a good Tea Party conservative.

Perhaps without her endorsement McQueeg would have been primaried.

So, Sarah, see what supporting RINOs gets ya? A knife in the back. We all coulda told you that.

[BwanaNdege]

Steve Schmidt! Now the GOP-e has it’s own Robespierre! Or is it Alger Hiss?

[ontap]

The only reason John McCain wasn’t laughed off the stage was Sarah Palin!!!

Sarah Palin's Awesome Ping List

“I dare say we already have a third party.
"We have the liberal party, the GOP machine, and then we’ve got the Good Guys,”

[gov_bean_ counter]

Memo to Schmidt...

The John McCain campaign wasn't the only campaign interested in Gov Palin as a running mate.

Get over yourself.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Hey Steve, put some ice on it.

Oh yeah, and if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have Ted Cruz, since Sarah's endorsement put him over the top.

Have a nice day.

[workerbee]

Keep talkin’, RINOs. Keep talkin’.

[PoloSec]

Although McCain will deny, deny, deny, don’t think for a minute Schmidt did not get the blessing and encouragement from McCain for this statement.

[GOPJ]

Rather than electing the guy who got captured, maybe we should have elected one of the men who got away...

[Bikkuri]

What is frustratingly obvious (and not published anywhere) is the fact that they expect US to compromise, while the DemonCraps will never budge one(1) nanometer.

"The results proved disastrous for McCain."

Actually the results proved that Sarah was the only smart move the traitorous dung heap known as john mcskidmark ever made. As a native Arizonian I am ashamed of the fact that mcskidmark continuously manages to steal that seat he holds. I first met the dirtbag when I was in the eight grade back in 1973. I did not like him then and I like him even less now. I apologize to all good Americans for what my state has given this great country beginning with ex-senator dennis deConcini to john mcskidmark to janet napolitano. Know this.... I never voted for any of them.

[Fiji Hill]

McCain should have stuck with his first choice, Joe Lieberman. Then, with tens of millions of conservatives and Republicans staying home on Election Day, he would have been buried in the biggest landslide since 1984.

Two years later, he would face the Arizona voters. Having chosen a liberal like Lieberman as his running mate, he would not have fooled the voters by shifting his rhetoric to the right. and they would have turned him out.

[mykroar]

The results proved disastrous for McCain.

The only reason McCain got the votes he got was Sarah. I was not voting for him until Sarah was picked.
