Senator McCain is no Bush/Palin. He deserves some modicum of respect for holding himself

[poverlay]

above most Republicans' behavior and poisonous hatred. If all Republicans were like him this country would be a far better place.

I tip my hat in respect to you John McCain. (Not your psycho wife, your horrible running mate, or any of your extremely hate-filled supporters.) There is no shame. You lost to a far superior man/leader/party/ideology...

I post this to show that I have learned the lesson of respect from President-elect Obama and encouraging my better angels as from Vice President Biden's example.

1. He rose above all those around him tonight.

11. That might put his nose above the sewer.

lol

[Cha]

17. Exactly..he's been a lying piece of shit with his bridzilla at his side ..

this whole time and now all these creepy posts are instantly forgetting that.

Wait until the next time he has a chance to stab Obama in the back.

[mikelgb]

2. Ok, I appoint you to give him that modicum of respect

[tosh]

3. Agreed.

[Naturyl]

4. Seconded.

McCain showed decency and character in his concession. It's sad, because he is too good for the crowd of knuckle-draggers he foolishly allowed to influence his campaign. His ideas and values are wrong and deserved to be rejected, but I don't hate him personally.

Palin and what she represents were his downfall.

5. Not a fucking chance in hell. After this election, he and his campaigners can forget it.

6. Sorry

One concession speech does not erase the hateful campaign he ran

[Gabi Hayes]

7. step away from the bar. please. you've had more than you can handle.

or were you asleep during most of his vicious, degrading, meretricious, HATE-filled, race/terror/fear mongering, guilt-by-association, McCarthyesque campaign?

until he ABJECTLY apologizes to Obama, and the American people, I hope his skin rots off

[Hamlette]

8. explain to me the 1st debate when his contempt for Obama prevented him from LOOKING at him

that showed me McCain character more than anything else.

And picking Palin? YOU RESPECT THAT?????

He gave a sweet little speech tonight but that doesn't hide who he is. That was a good speech writer.

[Hieronymus]

9. BS, McCain played dirty.

[EFerrari]

10. John McCain is a corrupt @sshole who signed off on a hateful, filthy campaign.

and who tried to CYA this evening. How cheap.

I don't respect him in the least.

[mtnsnake]

12. Agree. n/t

[AJH032]

13. Yeah

I agree

[El Fuego]

14. Agreed. McCain is no bush.

[ogneopasno]

15. Huh. Too bad he didn't act like that throughout his campaign; this would have been a much closer

race.

[gemlake]

16. Please tell me what dirty trick he DIDN'T use.
