McCain: Ryan Pick ‘Also A Bold Choice’ Like Palin

McCain: Ryan Pick ‘Also A Bold Choice’ Like Palin

Asked if Mitt Romney’s selection of Paul like mirrors his 2008 selection of Sarah Palin as vice president, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said on “Fox News Sunday” that Ryan is “also a bold choice.”

“I’m proud of Sarah and her family, and I’m proud of the work we did,” he said. “I think that in this case it is also a bold choice.”

The choice was the opposite of bold. Romney feared the repercussions of not kissing up to Glen Beck, Hannity, etc.

Is that old man proud that Sister Sarah ran around the country for 2 months saying that Obama "hangs out with terrorists"??

Gimme a freakin' break!!!
McCain should retire to Sun City and just go watch the grass grow.
He has nothing to add to the national discussion anymore.
He's ancient history.
