Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," the Arizona Republican said: "When we selected, or asked, Sarah Palin to be my running mate, it energized our party. We were ahead in the polls, until the stock market crashed. And she still is a formidable force in the Republican Party. And I have great affection for her. Will Sarah and I - did we always agree on everything in the past? Will we in the future? No. But let's let a thousand flowers bloom. Let's come up with a winning combination next time."

What kind of a moron thinks Bush’s ideological leanings have anything to do with the mess he made?
I’m guessing its the usual RINOs that don’t have the man parts to come right out and say they don’t want conservatives to do anything more than vote for them.
Wynn was pretty impressive today on Fox
To McCain, what’s this we thing?
Palin would contribute to a winning combination.
Juan McPain made her part of a whining combination NOT a winning combination.
Two letters make a HUGE difference.
NO MORE RINO WHINERS.
That is a very interesting choice of words.
The zero has destroyed our economy since it became obvious he was going to win, I hope people like you are unemployed the entire time Obama is President.
IMO, McCain was a Manchurian candidate. Obama, though, is just a useful idiot and a front for other more nefarious forces.
“let a thousand flowers bloom” Senator McCain (?-AZ)
May the fleas of a thousand hyenas infest your armpits,
you running dog & puppet of revanchist socialist lackeys!
> Liz Cheney / Steve Wynn 2012
Liz Cheney supports homosexual “marriage”. Her sister’s a lesbian. Blood’s thicker than water.
I ain’t supporting her.
Isn’t this the second presidential campaign for McCain?
it’s clear he doesn’t know how to do a successful campaign.
Sorry, McAmnesty. She wasn’t the handicap on the ticket!
McCain may have just revealed something for us in his language.
Okay, McLame. How about you grow a pair of testicles and start defending her over the idiots who ran YOUR campaign?
My respect for you would go up 1000% if you did that.
I’ve got my problems with Bush but only a moron blames his failings on evangelism. Those who do, belong at DU or somewhere else where that anti christian bigotry is welcome.
Or better yet, maybe they can hike up their man panties and tell us how Bush’s evangelism is at fault.
Full disclosure, I’m a Methodist.
“If McCain is casually using Maoist language on Palin...”
There’s no “if” about it! See my post #36. Key link: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/226950.html
This is a HUGE deal. Not hugh and series, but genuinely huge! Unfortunately it is a Sunday night, so this might get lost down the memory hole.
Someone, anyone, everyone, PLEASE ping whomever you can so that this gets exposure. It might just be enough to end McCan’t’s political career. PLEASE! He’s done too much damage already!
What kind of moron confuses a political ideology and a theology?
Bush was a shallow thinking evangelical and didn't govern as a Republican.
Theologically, he's an evangelical. Ideologically, he is a RINO. But being an evangelical was all some people needed to hear -- and it wound up costing the Republican party.
Bush was a christian conservative and one of the biggest RINOs ever.
How did his religious leanings have anything to do with his failings?
McCain’s political capital that he gained through conspiracy with the NeoCom media is spent. He was nothing more than a spoiler for Obama. His handlers picked Sarah, because they misjudged her. They figured she would hurt McCain, and his loss could be blamed on her, serving both their purpose of electing Obama and hurting conservatism. Their little plan backfired, and they have done everything they can to destroy Sarah. It’s desperation.
I think it may have to be reposted on its own thread as a vanity.
Could you (or someone else)? I’m posting from my phone, and it’s tough enough to even post comments with links, let alone new threads. Feel free to copy anything I said if it would be useful, of course!
If someone else won’t, I will.
McLoser and the rest of the gutless republicans MADE the republican party the THIRD party.
Bush is a CRINO (Christian in name only).
He has no idea who Christ really is. (judging by his public statements anyway) No Evangelical Christian thinks Allah and God are one and the same. Allah is one of the fallen angels.
some body PLEASE shut him up
I think he suspects what will be in Palin’s book
I hope she hammers him
McCain was not dissing Palin in that statement. He admitted that it was Sarah that had energized the campaign.
Your post says it all: he suspended the debate and he rushed where fools go and came out like a smelly fool.
What a debacle that was.
They didn't have anything to do with his failings.
Those that failed the Republican Party were evangelicals that picked Bush in the primaries simply because he was an evangelical.
Well it should be obvious by now that being an evangelical doesn't necessarily make a person a good president. Yet here were are talking about Palin in 2012 all because the evangelicals think shes just swell. And yet again, that's all they seem to care about. Palin is a nice person. Sure. But she's just as shallow as Bush. She'd be another disaster.
We could always nominate Huckabee :)
You're a raving nutter!
The only presidents we've ever had that can match Palin in intellect and depth are Jefferson, Madison, and Reagan.
Seriously, he if FAR too old to run for pres. again, last time was really pushing it.
___________________________
I don’t think he’s too old to run at all, much of it can be conducted from home via telecommunications- although he certainly is too old to actually serve as president. But he wouldn’t need to worry about that part, because he would stand no chance of actually winning the election.
Soooo true!! I’m not even sure he meant to, or was meant to, win last time.
Typical arrogant Texan.
What exactly, did Bush do as president to account for low unemployment?

McNuts thinks he’s chairman of the GOP. He needs to be sent packing in the 2010 AZ primary. His defeat will strike fear in the Senate.
“You’re holding me down” said the anchor to the sail.
“What exactly, did Bush do as president to account for low unemployment?”
Seriously? Two words: TAX CUTS!
Sheesh.
“If McCain is casually using Maoist language on Palin, then perhaps he may never have been fully de-programmed after his time spent with the North Vietnamese Communists.”
I’ve stated before that McCain is a war casualty.
Hey RNC...I dare you to pull that stunt again. I’ll walk away and never look back.
I didn't know a president could order tax cuts.
Seriously, what did Bush do as president?
This geriatric pandering backstabbing a-hole will not run for President again. We absolutely must vote him out, and those like him such as Graham and Lieberman, and everybody else in the House and Senate like them. We cannot attempt to restore the country with people like them in office.
Seriously (again)?! GW proposed and pushed Congress to pass his much maligned “tax cuts for the rich”:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/08/washington/08tax.html
Anyone who doesn’t understand that those tax cuts were a huge spur to the economy and employment is an economic illiterate. Unfortunately, at least 53% of America consists of economic illiterates.
GW screwed up a LOT with his “compassionate conservatism” = soft socialism, but this is one thing he got right!
As of now, a better candidate has not stepped forward.
I've seen some discussions on that possibility.
Is this happening? I’m lurking (and posting to a certain someone who apparently thinks GW had nothing to do with the tax cuts at the start of his admin that spurred the economy and employment) to see if it does. If it doesn’t, I’m going to try, although posting the thread and links will be a mess using my phone.
(Please ping if/when the McCain/Mao quote is posted.on its own thread. Thanks!)
Maybe he inadvertantly said something useful. Next time, leave out McCain.
Later McCain! I’ve swallowed my pride once for you. Not again.
