The McCain campaign’s classless cowards; Update: Palin reacts
Scroll down for updates…1:29am Eastern Palin holds press conference in Anchorage after arriving late on her flight from Arizona…refuses to comment on gossip spread by unnamed sources and “small, bitter” people saying “foolish things”…on relationship with McCain: No tension. “I love him…I honor him”…jokes that charges that she was “going rogue” referred to her sneaking in return phone calls to reporters…(vid at Hot Air)

The anonymous trashing of Sarah Palin by blabbermouth McCain aides who are leaking to Fox News is disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
Allah’s got the vid clip of a report citing unnamed McCain staffers accusing Palin of lacking, in Carl Cameron’s words, “knowledgeability.” More slime here. And here.
At least all the Hollywood and Manhattan Palin-haters were willing to sign their names and put their faces on their attacks.
Let’s assume the rumor-mongers are telling the truth for a moment. Who does it damn more: Sarah Palin or McCain and his vetters who green-lighted her for the vice presidential nomination? Don’t need an Ivy League degree to figure that one out.
Sarah Palin worked her heart out. She energized tens of thousands to come out who would have otherwise stayed home. She touched countless families. I didn’t agree with everything she said on the campaign trail. But two fundamental conservative stands she took mattered greatly to me: She vigorously defended the Second Amendment and the sanctity of life more eloquently in practice than any of the educated conservative aristocracy.
And she did it all with a tirelessness and infectious optimism that defied the shameless, bottomless attempts by elites in both parties to bring her and her family down.
Shame on the smearers who don’t have the balls to show their faces.
Thank you, Sarah Palin. Thank you for stepping up the plate and serving your country.

More: Ace of Spades is %^&* spitting mad.
Here’s a story these staffers tell: Sent to collect Palin from a hotel, she greeted them, straight from the shower (running late, I guess ) dressed (scandal!) only in a bathrobe (presumably a very thick hotel bathrobe).
These staffers called that “uncommon” — Cameron delighted in the word to give it the sound of “whorish, unprofessional.”
Heh, assholes? She had to open the door and had just gotten out of the shower. Did you want her to use her magical powers of telekinesis to open the door for you?
So is RedState, which announces an accountability project.
I wonder if the delicate McCain staffers upset at seeing Palin in bathrobe/towel were as aghast at the photos on Meghan McCain’s blog of Cindy McCain in her – gasp! – bathrobe.
***
And now, this:
Randy Scheunemann, a senior foreign policy adviser to John McCain, was fired from the Arizona senator’s campaign last week for what one aide called “trashing” the campaign staff, three senior McCain advisers tell CNN.
One of the aides tells CNN that campaign manager Rick Davis fired Scheunemann after determining that he had been in direct contact with journalists spreading “disinformation” about campaign aides, including Nicolle Wallace and other officials.
“He was positioning himself with Palin at the expense of John McCain’s campaign message,” said one of the aides.
***
Update: 1:34am Eastern. Palin arrives in Anchorage after a long trip home from Alaska. She holds a press conference. Refuses to comment on gossip spread by unnamed sources and “small, bitter” people saying “foolish things”…on relationship with McCain: No tension. “I love him…I honor him.”
Responding to a question on whether she has any “hurt feelings,” Palin laughs cheerfully. “This is politics! Of course not. It’s rough and tumble and you’ve got to have a thick skin just like I’ve got.”
Palin expresses “disappointment in the media — don’t take it personally.”

God bless Sarah Palin and her family.
The McCain campaign was dead in the water before Sarah came along. She not only breathed new life into the campaign, she propelled it to new heights!
Thanks Sarah
They need their fame! Reality shows prove it!
I’ll take Sarah Palin over some loser hack back bencher too gutless to sign their work any day.
Agreed, she backed up her talk by walking the walk on those two issues better than anyone. Leadership by example and putting words into actions. /salute
While I think it’s entirely possible that there are “anonymous McCain staffers” who are “blaming Sarah Palin” for the loss, it is possible that this is yet another attempt by the MSM to keep Sarah down.
If it is true, however, they are not only classless, but clueless. W/o Sarah Palin, John McCain wouldn’t have garnered the votes he did. There would have been many more 3rd party votes cast. Even a blind person could see the energy that erupted when her nomination as VP was made public. Good for her for refusing to respond to these “anonymous” comments!
Sarah Palin gave McCain a chance — he would have lost by 20 points if she didn’t join the ticket. She drew tens of thousands to her rallies, astronomically more than Biden drew to his.
She is the future of our party — the Mccain staffers are sore losers who will have to look for work.
Reality shows prove they deserve it.
The Master of Lowered Expectations, what happens once the enchantment wears off? The Spell won’t last forever…I mean look above, even SF stopped it’s dopey Bush bashing.
http://sarah-palin-2008.blogspot.com/2008/11/back-pedalling-like-monkey-in-circus.html
Check the Poll many are interested in Sarah Palin…nameless McCain Staffers blaming her for their failures, nobodys really interested in their back biting.
Not only did she breathe life into the McCain campaign.
She literally awoke John McCain
Look at his lackluster speeches prior then after.
The content aside, he was personally uplifted.
I think it’s pathological to continue their attacks at this point. She represented the best of elections/politics IMO. Fox’s worm reporter was sick. I may be watching less. Thanks for being there.
Sarah Palin may be the most underestimated woman in history.
They said she had temper tantrums? Jeezaroonie, if I had to deal with those crapweasels in the McCain staff every day I’d throw papers too.
They’re lucky they didn’t get the full caribou field-dressing.
God bless her and her family, lord knows they’ve been put through the mill, from the left, and now from some gutless cowards. SHE is the reason I held my nose and voted for McCain. IMHO, I think McCain’s loss would have been far greater, if it weren’t for this fabulous lady, this the new face of the NEW Conservative Republican Party.
Sarge
Cowards who are covering their own butts by trying to blame this loss on Palin.
Given McCains close association with leftists of the dem party, Feingold, Kennedy et al, is it also possible some rogue, Dem-lite sleazeoid member of his campaign is the “unnamed staffer” who is the source of these comments?
After all, the dems were more afraid (and still are) of Sarahcuda than they were of McCain.
AMEN! I, too, heard this trashing of Sarah Palin begin today and I was disgusted and repulsed by these juvenile troglodytes in the employ of McCain’s campaign. She did her level best to drag his sorry keister across the finish line, but he was neither viable nor salvageable. Let him now fade into obscurity as we groom and raise up real conservatives. Here’s to a Palin/Jindal ticket in 2012!!!
That is why they are attacking her. She has conviction and actually lives by them and it scares the he!! out of libs.
P.S. Bathrobe, eh?
McCain was very classy throughout the ecampaign all the way through his concession speech. He now needs to come out and kick a** of the people trashing his VP candidate. This is unconscionable.
The very best thing that came out of McCain’s lame campaign was introducing America to her. She did amazingly well at most of the tasks presented to her. The ones she didn’t do well were the fault of her handlers. She is a true rock star and will kick Obama’s ass after his adoring public finds out what he actually cab’t make happen for them.
You know what? Part of me was relieved that I wouldn’t have to defend McCain for 4 years. I feel a little bit better knowing that these scumbags won’t be in charge. They would have turned on us eventually, too.
Shame also to the newscasters/opinionators who repeat this crapola. Shades of MSM, eh?
Cutsie Shep (who loves the sound of his own voice on Fox afternoons) has taken several “shots” at Sarah since she came on the scene. Bill O did the same tonight — likely still angry that she didn’t appear on his show.
I’ve had it with these idiots.
God bless Sarah Palin and her family.
She has shown more guts and courage in the face of adversity than almost any woman I know.
There are only three other conservative women that has faced something simuliar-our gracious hostess MM, Ann Colter and Anita Bryant
GSP
Viva’ the Regan Revolution!
McCain aides trying to salvage a resume through projection. They truly are closet liberals, will not take blame for their own shortfalls. No serious candidate would ever take these clowns on for work. McCain aides…repeat after me…would you like fries with that?
You’re right, See-Dubya. Angering Sarah Palin could be dangerous. I wouldn’t want to anger Michelle Malkin either.
:O
Bless her and keep her, she was the only element of the campaign that gave me hope for a change in the Republican Party. She didn’t come with a full set of policies and positions, but she came with principles and determination on the issues that were closest to her. She also seemed willing eager to listen and miracle of miracles, she seemed to actually like the base and not be embarrassed by it — unlike the nominee. That in itself makes her someone amazing.
And yes, I am having a very difficult time forgiving establishment republicans and conservatives for their treatment of her. I certainly will not forget what they did.
Unfortunately, the sense I am getting is that she has had enough and most emphatically is not looking forward to running in 2012, which I think could be her’s for the asking. A great loss if true. Come 2012, assuming America is still a semi-free country and elections are being held, we will definitely need her.
It sounds as though the Washington insiders feel threatened. They should!
This whole inexperience thing was bogus.
I recall Governors Carter, Dukakis and Clinton.
2 out of 3 weren’t from the largest states.
However, given his track record of drop-kicking his base and fawning over his detractors, I’m doubting that this will happen. It should, though, if he is truly a man of character.
Also, I am definitely on the Palin/Jindal bandwagon.
Jindal is everything Obama is and more.
The most of the more is he has plenty of actual ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
However, given his track record of drop-kicking his base and fawning over his detractors, I’m doubting that this will happen. It should, though, if he is truly a man of character.
johnsteele, I forgot to include the part of your quote that I was responding to.
I would LOVE to see Sarah Palin awarded the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation’s Brass Balls Award that was presented to Rush Limbaugh last year. Sarah Palin is such an inspiration, and undoubtedly our enemies fear her greatly.
(Ahem) Bathrobe.
Can we nominate her?
The ONLY word obuma knew for the first YEAR of his campaign was “change”. He gave no interviews and answered no questions. The reason was obvious. He was a clueless puppet who could not answer any questions.
Palin had a week to learn what obuma took a year to learn.
America has spoken, and they are morons.
I watched Carl Cameron’s hatchet job on Sarah Palin on O’Reilly’s The Factor tonight and I was disgusted. It’s unbelievable. Do you really think Sarah Palin, a college graduate and the governor of a state, does not know that Africa is a continent, not a “country”? That’s absurd on its face. And the shop-a-holic claim has been pretty thoroughly refuted, too. What I don’t understand is why Cameron would do this attack. Or why O’Reilly was promoting it, although heaven knows he’s not exactly a paragon of journalism. Or even clear thinking, come to think of it. Apart from his inflated ego…No, I’ll just say I was very disappointed in Fox News for running that tripe. There are obviously a lot of people in the GOP trying to make sure Sarah Palin disappears up North.
Gretta just gave a good defense of Gvnr Palin on her show while speaking to Rove. As conservative democrats in SW Indiana we we’re going to vote McCain because of Obama’s radical friends anyway but Palin made us do it enthusiastically. She came to southeastern Indiana recently and was the one bright spot to us in the McCain campaign. McCain campaign staffers = CLASSLESS !
My state went Obama,still can’t believe it ! My small county is a democratic county and went + 2000 votes for McCain-Palin as did all surrounding counties. Obama won only 15 counties in Indiana but they are the large population counties. Marion,Lake etc. He won just five counties south of Indianapolis three were University counites Vigo(ISU),Monroe(IU),Vanderbugh(USI,UE).
Seriously though: They’re mad at her for going out and buying clothes? Apparently the $150 large the GOP dropped on her wardrobe wasn’t cutting it, and she knew enough to work around them and get her own stuff.
Don’t see how that makes her look bad. “Shopaholic”? It’s whoever took the NRCC Charge Card on a $150,000 shopping spree that earned that title.
Africa is a country. Yeah and we’re also supposed to believe she didn’t know the 3 countries in NAFTA. I think this is a lot of BS from small people!
I’ve been poring thru their website…looks like something they do on their own…
Michelle can you help with this???…
Here’s the site: http://www.mc-lef.org/
Here’s the real reason why McCain lost: Any candidate with Jewish ancestors is prevented from from winning by unexplainable forces:
Goldwater (Goldwasser)
Mike Dukakis (Wife Kitty)
Joe Lieberman
Howard Dean (Wife Judith)
John Kerry (Great Grandparents Kohn)
Hillary (Step-Parent)
Sarah (Maternal Grandparents)
They’re all Geshtruft! (Cursed)
I see even after losing the election the McCain campaign is still trying to out-liberal liberals.
#17 cngerms ditto from me: Palin/Jindal 2012! Unbeatable. She should have been at the top of this year’s ticket.
That is, if the Constitution/Bill of Rights has not been re-written and BHO has not gutted our military and replaced it domestically with his “Civilian National Security Force” (i.e. jackbooted Nation of Islam/New Black Panthers thug-ra-forces). Let’s hope he fails.
These are your basic staff straphangers who can’t cope with the fact they contributed to a losing cause.
So they have to find a convenient something to sauve their wounds.
Their 15 minutes of fame is over. Sarah Palin is just beginning and on her way and they can’t cope.
If Palin had not been on the ticket, I may not have voted at all. McCain was the lesser of two evils without her.
We love Sarah. We will always love Sarah.
What we are seeing now is the bitter moderate clingers who forced us to have to tolerate McCain lashing out at a real conservative.
Sounds like someone is looking for a scape goat.
Effing a-holes!
They’re the ones who ran McCain’s craptacular campaign, so they have nothing but their worthless selves to blame. These are the kinds of “conservatives” or “Republicans” who need to have their behinds kicked out the door ASAP. I have more contempt for them than I do for any liberal.
(Old Scout, you’re wrong…Obama got elected and Michelle Obama’s cousin is a rabbi.)
Governor Palin was the one bright spot in an otherwise-dismal Republican campaign.
She made this conservative proud, excited, and energized.
Heck, I’d even go straight for Sarah Palin! (Outta my way, Todd!)
McCain would have lost by 20 points if Gov. Palin had not agreed to be his running mate. The blue bloods need to just go ahead and lie on the tracks because this train is being taken over and we are gonna shovel a lot of coal (heh) into the fire.
Bastards all of them.
Carl Cameron is shilling for Palin’s future opponents. He carefully inserted this sound byte — “didn’t know africa was a continent” — to fester as an unchallenged truth for as long as Palin is out the limelight. And then, sure as shit happens, it will be trotted out by opponents on the left and right. Romney has to do this because he is the biggest loser in this election — he’s of less note than even John Edwards in these past five months. (Though I’ll admit that it could have been Huckabee insiders. The same motives would apply.)
I noticed that the Fox anchor (pretty boy Whatizname) hammered the slam home. In case you were wondering, I guess. This was a bought-and-paid-for political hatchet job.
O’Reilly ran with Cameron’s anonymous claim, continuing his anti-Palin bias. There’s something wrong with O’Reilly and Palin brings it out.
And Cameron squandered his reputation. Remember his name: Carl Cameron. He is not your friend.
Cowards.
And shame on Fox for “reporting” rumors as fact.
They should leave this kind of “reporting” to TMZ.
The lying and backstabbing seems to be the usual rite of passage for campaign staff who are about the paycheck and fame and not about issues. They’re in a panic because the paychecks are gone and they are out of work.
I would have not voted for John McCain if it were not for Sarah Palin. Truth.
P.S. I meant to say “dem lite RINO…”
Jindal is not a good choice…..
We’ve all been talking about ‘cleaning house’ (re: the GOP), and we’ve got to start right now.
Jindal’s creationist leanings – not to mention his exorcsim – make him a lousy candidate.
Folks, let’s not shoot ourselves in the foot…..again.
http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2008/06/11/jindals_exorcism/
In # 16. Yikes, waaay too long a day.
Did you check out the Red State link?
They took the words right out of my mouth.
And, to Michelle’s commentary, I say Amen!
P.S. Mrs. Klaatu is already writing checks for Palin/Jindal
What is wrong with these McCain campaign staffers?! There is no question that Sarah Palin energized the Repub base and is one of a precious few bright lights in the party. These idiots screwed up McCain’s campaign and now they’re working to sabotage Palin’s chances in 2012. You can bet their comments will be one of the first things the liberal media digs up should Palin attempt to re-enter the national political stage.
Libs who want the Repubs to tack even more center-left can dump on Palin all they want. If Jindal or Palin form exploratory committees for 2012, I’ll support both.
RINOs/Repub Lites who lost: Ford, Bush 41, McCain.
Bush 43 ran as a conservative, even if he didn’t exactly govern as one. Bush 41 won when he ran as Reagan’s third term.
There is a lesson there.
This really proves there are rats on both sides of the aisle. She
was so good for his campaign and I would have hated to see what yesterday could have looked like for McCain if not for
Governor Sarah. I heard so many Texans and Sooners say that
they weren’t voting for him but for her. They all said that they
wouldn’t have voted for McCain if he had someone else on the
ticket.
These people are slime. This was one of the most pathetic
campaigns I have ever seen. That was their failing.
Good point, PTN39. This is a pretty amateurish attempt at a smear.
Yeah, they’re used to Barney Frank in a towel.
I heard Nicole Wallace is the aide in question. This Nicole Wallace:
(I wonder who’s side she’s really on?)
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/kyle-drennen/2008/02/13/cbs-political-analyst-mccain-critics-are-conservative-crazies
CBS Political Analyst: McCain Critics are Conservative ‘Crazies’
CBS Political Analyst Nicolle Wallace, a former Bush Administration Communications Director, who said of John McCain’s conservative critics: “The more that we see kind of the crazies like Ann Coulter out attacking John McCain, the better Republicans feel about their chances in the general election.”
“This attack upon conservatives critical of McCain, who include Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, and others, was prompted by Harry Smith asking about Mike Huckabee’s continued support in the race”
Tha explains her problem with Palin, she hates concervatives.
On Meghan McCain’s blog, there are pix of Cindy in a short bathrobe with Lindsay Graham in the room.
This is a product of life on the road. Big whoop.
As to the other claims, sounds like someone’s looking for work.
If this story is true…..then the McCain staff are a bunch of douchebags.
They plucked this woman from her home state, offered her the VP position, and pointed the cameras at her.
She gave the McCain campaign a SERIOUS boost, and drew huge crowds – and ratings – whenever she appeared.
She traveled and campaigned like a pro, and her appearances often broke records.
She was the subject of jokes, ridicule, mockery, and scorn from the left.
And now that the votes are in, McCain’s crew says “Go home. You’re no longer needed…..and we didn’t like you anyway. See ya!”
Absolutely despicable.
And really, do you seriously think Biden knew which nations were in NAFTA? Or that Africa wasn’t a country?
HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Guitar Guy
Anyone who would not vote for Jindal, who has been an effective state executive, US Congressman, and Governor of Louisiana who is night and day from the former Democrat Governor Blanco, because he converted to Catholicism, and believes in the power of Jesus Christ to cast out unclean spirits, well, they weren’t going to vote for Jindal anyway.
Sarah, we’ve got your back! I don’t think anyone believes these JUNK stories. Palin/Jindal 2012!
I ditto #55. I would have voted a third party if not for you.
Yes, she was the deciding factor for me.
Perhaps if they had “unleashed” her earlier and without fear of being called a “racist!”, she could have made a bigger impact than they realize.
Palin faced attacks so vicious, so deeply personal, so utterly disgraceful, outrageous, and unhinged, yet she handled it with grace, class, and strength to the highest degree.
The naysayers – liberal and conservative – are just angry that Palin’s got more of the aforementioned traits in her finger than they have as a group combined.
For liberals, she is the *true* goal of feminism realized, and they hate it because they long ago forgot what true feminism was all about: choice. They have proven, once and for all, that they hate any woman who dares wander from the liberal plantation and – forgive my language – one who understands womanhood, motherhood, and that her uterus is for something other than a depository for myriad, “Sex and the City” esque, one-night stands.
For conservatives, Palin wasn’t the snobby, elitest, caviar swilling debutante they think they have to be. She was down to earth and they forgot most of this nation is, well, that way. They also can’t stand the fact she’s got a skin thicker than a rhino’s hide and dealt with the crap hurled her way when they would have caved like a house of cards.
Palin’s not done yet. And she has my full support.
Heck, Gov. Palin, I’d love to come work for you in the great state of Alaska. Drop my a line if you’re interested.
Hell, I doubt she even realizes we have 57 states not counting Alaska and Hawaii either.
I wouldn’t expect anything less from the staff of a career politician. And folks wonder why good people tend to shy away from politics?
Bottom line: Palin was brought on to carry McCain to the White House, but neither she nor anyone could drag that much political dead weight across the finish line.
McCain is an honorable and decent man – no doubt about that. But it was Palin that revived a moribund campaign. I suspect she helped narrow the gap between McCain and Obama by a few points.
A couple more years in the governor’s office and a little homework here and there along with her plain-spoken decency will make her a formidable candidate in the future.
Hillary must be pretty unhappy.
She’s totally safe.
He had a hard enough time knowing who was president in 1929 and knowing when TV became widespread.
I said it a thousand times already, and I’ll say it again:
Had they flipped the damn ticket to Palin/McCain, I think they would have had a shot.
I wish I could take back my damn McCain donation. I’m guessing his first priority is getting back to DC to ram amnesty down our throats again.
Guitar Guy should take note that, under certain circumstances, the Catholic church allows exorcisms. Are we going to add Catholic-bashing to our list of failed strategies?
Palin saved McCain’s a**. NO question about it. Who cares what that stupid campaign thinks anyway. Was that not the worst campaign ever run in the history of presidential elections? Can’t touch Wright. Can’t touch questionable citizenship. Can’t touch socialist policies until it’s FAR TOO LATE to do anything about it.
Please. McCain lost because he ran a terrible campaign, in which the single bright spot was Sarah Palin.
Sarah made it cool to be pretty, cool to be assertive, cool to dress nicely, cool to love your husband, cool to be a mom, cool to be a hunter, cool to wear glasses, cool to have children and trust God for the outcome.
A drag on the ticket??
Absolutely not.
Wait a minute:
Palin-Jindal or Jindal-Palin?
vickisoup #79, well said.
Great gams.
If Palin does decide to subject her family to that again in 2012 (I think only Bristol and Trig would still be living at home then), she would surely bring in policy experts to bolster her weak areas, like foreign policy, experts that share her world view. She is reportedly a very fast learner, and a keen intellect.
I’m of a mind that it wouldn’t bother me if she appoints herself to fill Steven’s Senate seat if his conviction stands. Then she’ll have executive and national experience, and the Tina Fey caricatures of a air headed beauty queen will collapse of their own stupidity.
I’m afraid this may be too typical of John McCain to turn on the people that helped him the most. She was mishandled from the beginning. She should have been on all the friendly conservative shows first. Just like the other side did. They hid from any tough unfriendly interviews. Gibson, Couric,? that adviser should have been fired! They let her be herself a little too late.
So…..we agree that we should clean out the GOP.
And you feel we can do that, and show that we mean business during the next election by nominating someone who believes that the Earth was created 7,000 – 10,000 years ago……and has participated in an exorcism that cured cancer.
This newly re-tooled GOP will be taken seriously…..with Jindal as ‘our man’….?
Got it.
Allow me to suggest a bumper sticker for you: ‘Obama/Biden 2012′
Are you single vickisoup, because you sure are smart. Agree with everything you say.
The fact that ABC, et al., got the first interviews, even after obviously playing “gotcha” frustrated the heck out of me. I’m glad Hannity interviewed her, though, and Greta. I still think it’s funny that Bill O didn’t get to. Perhaps it brought him down a peg or two.
God bless GOV Palin and her family. Thank you for your service to our Country.
Jindal is far more qualified. I’m also thinking that Jim DeMint would be a better Vice President than Palin, given his experience in the Senate.
Guitar guy, cleaning out the GOP doesn’t mean trashing Christians. The libs do enough of that.
Palin was the reason I voted for McCain.
I’m upset McCain was the choice in the first place.
We do need to ditch the McCain & Schwarzenegger way & stick to what Conservative really is
Palin/Jindal ’12
As one who would and will never vote for a democtat, I was very depressed that McCain (Mc lame) was on the ticket. While I intended to vote for the person running as a Republican, I had little hope that a Republican had any chance of being elected. Then when McCain and advisors lost their mind and allowed Sarah Palin to be the VP candidate I had great hope. That is until all the lies, distortions, and vicious attacks especially against the way she handled Trig hit the fan. Sarah was the only hope the Republicans had.
Nooooooo.
But a genuinely failed strategy would be to nominate Bobby Jindal.
Let’s nominate an exorcist!
That’s a great strategy!
We have to keep religion and politics separate.
And I’m not concerned with what the church allows/disallows.
Oh! The church allows exorcisms.
That must mean exorcisms are genuine!
See?
We’re blowing it already.
We’ve learned nothing.
txmom3, ditto here. Before I had ever heard the term “RINO,” I knew that Ahhnold only had put an (R) behind his name for political expediency. It’s much easier to just call him a RINO. I prefer elephants.
To them and anyone else who trashes Palin or tries to make her the scapegoat: I am keeping a list, and I will never vote for you, watch your program, or contribute one more dime to anything that makes you money.
And right now, that includes Fox News, which just lost itself a viewer.
Is it any wonder why these clowns lost?
This ain’t ‘christian-trashing’.
To nominate anyone who believes in exorcism – or creationism – would be incredibly dumb.
We have to nominate someone who won’t be looked at as a loon.
guitarguy,
The Democrats just got a virtual communist elected. If they can do that we can get Jindal elected. All it takes is the campaign being about more than social policy.
Are you saying you wouldn’t have nominated Reagan?
