1. I keep seeing this story posted from various peeps. IS this TRUE???
It cannot possibly be.....

It violates: Logic, Common Sense, Reality, Strategy, Sanity, Reason, Good Planning, etc...any one of which is enough to cause loss of election..

This has to be a joke of some sort

Is this confirmed???

Jus askin.....Opi

Given the way Republicans have operated over the last twenty years these are all good reasons to believe the story, IMO.

6. he let the religious right reagan lovers pick his vp for him and now he's vetting her
lolololololol

Kinda smells of an intentional burn

Or they are up there to do a cleaning...cleaning up any scandals

McCain likes to put his own spin on the facts...and he usually does this ahead of those facts coming out so he can look transparent....when he's really just shaping the reality he wants people to believe...

7. That's not a vetting staff...
...it's a "cleanup crew". Look forward to scrubbed records, dissappeared associates, silenced family members and a complicit media.

9. I smell some payoffs in the air.
McCrabby pulled his decision out of thin air, so now his cleanup crew has to get to work.

I still don't think she'll make it to November.

10. "Vetting" - is that what they're calling damage control now?
Or maybe it IS a "clean-up crew" for a careless and desperate candidate.

"Clean-up on aisle 6......."
