Palin says McCain's loss isn't her fault

Of course she does. :eyes:

And she does it in her typical word-salad Palinese:

I don't think anybody should give Sarah Palin that much credit, that I would trump an economic, woeful time in this nation that occurred about 2 months ago, that my presence on the ticket would trump the economic crisis that America found itself in a couple of months ago and attribute John McCain's loss to me.

1. Maybe not her fault, but she sure didn't help! Ha! Fuck you, Sarah.

[chelsea0011]

2. She may have hardened the fundie right but she brought meaningless numbers

of voters to the ticket. She was a total bust.

[Virginia Dare]

5. She brought a spectacle to the McCain campaign that wasn't there before..

which was misconstrued as support. Can you imagine the anemic crowds McCain would have drawn without her? It was all a mirage, those people would have ultimately gone for McCain anyway, but she succeeded in driving independents and moderate republicans away in droves. As you say, a total bust.

3. It isn't her fault

It's John's fool act of picking her that did it.

[Mike Daniels]

4. I'd say her non-stop "toss red meat to her base" speeches had a major effect

If she wants to believe her divisive us vs. them clap-trap didn't chase off moderates/independents then I welcome her to keep it up in 2012.

6. I've talked to many people who were on the fence...

until Mc* chose Palin. They they were for Obama. So yeah, Sarah, it IS your fault. More accurately, it was Mc*'s lack of judgement in choosing you that ultimately sank him.

20. McCain would have lost without her, but she got Obama a few more states

McCain's judgment was shattered when he picked Palin. McCain's pandering to get Hillary's vote backfired. It was an insult to women. The only people pleased with Palin were a bunch of far right nutjobs. McCain already had their vote.

7. Her stupidity absolutely dragged him down!!!!

[iamthebandfanman]

8. shes right! john picked her! its johns fault! lol n/t

[acmavm]

9. Idiot. She apparently DOESN'T read newspapers (no matter

what she says) because she missed all the republican endorsements for Obama that clearly stated that she was the last straw. And the newspapers. And the pundits. And pretty much the rest of the friggin' world.

[Skittles]

10. she is correct - it's mostly bush's fault

but that vapid piece of shit Palin helped nail the coffin shut

[Kashka-Kat]

11. GO AWAY - your 15 minutes are up Sarah!

Can we finally be done with her fingernails on the chalkboard voice? That woman is so pre- 11/4!

[Spinzonner]

12. What a waste of protoplasm

[zbdent]

13. I believe that she brought him some momentary success ...

until she started opening her mouth and removing all doubt ...

[Thrill]

14. I'm convinced she voted for Obama. lol

[foo_bar]

15. "you won't have Nixon to kick around..."

Speaking well of yourself in the third person is always promising. I don't think it's word salad so much as forgetting what she just said in the previous clause, as well as forgetting what she just said, in addition to not remembering how the sentence began.

[Lucian]

16. She needs to go back to Alaska and back into obscurity.

[dkofos]

17. Typical repube, it's always someone else'e fault.

[VolcanoJen]

18. How shitty is that? Even McCain said, "It's my fault"...

... to his supporters last night.

She is AWFUL!!!!!!

[rvablue]

19. If McCain had gone with Huckabee or Pawlenty this would have been more of a nail biter...thanx Sarah

[Mike Daniels]

23. Hell, he may have won with Romney

I don't know who ultimately said "check her out" but I'd say they deserve a good share of blame as well.

[OnyxCollie]

21. And also, too! nt

[TornadoTN]

22. It has begun - she fires the first salvo

Let the fighting begin between Camp McCain and Camp Palin on whose to blame for their devastating loss.
