Why is the "war hero" McCain hiding behind a woman?
Isn't that against his conservative code of honor or something?

Is he running for president or is he just running to Mommy? Sara Palin can't even run her own home. How is she going to run his campaign for him? Or, the country if something happens to him?

I used to respect John McCain even if we disagreed about just about everything. No more. The last time I saw a man hiding behind a woman like that and pushing her out in public to work it in this creepy way, it was a pimp in the Tenderloin.

Sara Palin sounds like a high school sophomore in her disturbingly bad interviews and this is the person John McCain is using as a front for his run at the White House? She can't even focus both eyes on the same object. She thinks going to war with Russia is on the table.

Will someone please explain "nuclear war" to John Mccain's ride?

Seriously, have the Republicans lost their freakin' minds?

2. It's not my mindset. I've worked in mixed teams all my life.
But, don't conservatives flinch at watching the way he's just scooted behind Palin's "apron"?

What kind of a leader does that?

:shrug:

4. It is pathetic, but they think they are being "progressive" in their own stupefied way
Winning is all that matters for the Republican zombie brigade.

If all the lying hasn't cut into McCain's support, why would hiding behind her skirt hurt him?

5. Doesn't it make him look really weak to the Republican base?
Is this the "change" they're talking about? Send a girl out to do a war hero's work?

lol

6. "McCain - lying his way to the Presidency while hiding behind a rookie's skirt"
That's essentially what he is doing - and until it stops working with American morons, he'll just keep on doing it - even if that means bringing his pet crutch to the debates with him. It's the most pathetic strategy I've ever seen. What's more pathetic? It's working :( :( :(

3. He's a fundamentally weak candidate. If he were a strong leader and
a credible Presidential presence, he wouldn't need to place a pretty spokesmodel beside the product to sell it, so to speak.

7. Sex sells.
We now have the latest "American Idol" team, complete with difficulties and family crisis that they both "overcame" to ultimately push on to "Victory". Maybe voting should be conducted by text message?

It doesn't matter what sort of "hush hush" past either of them carry, or even how unprepared to be on the world stage one of them may be, they are the new hometown heroes, riding in on the backs of Warmonger and Theocracy, the only two things that matter to those clamoring for "Success" in world politics.

8. If I were a conservative vet, I'd be ASHAMED to vote for this guy.
He's a disgrace to the way men do things. :shrug:

9. It's a means to the end.
I know one old guy who I've poked about his undying chauvinist attitude for years now...and he wasn't even gonna vote before they brought on the pitbull. Questioning how this can even be reconciled in his "the place of women is in the home" stance, he tells me she has to do this, to save the rest of "us" and things will naturally correct once they start the "reform". It's all about policies, amendments, control...doesn't matter one whit who or how they get power.

10. So, basically, they have no values they won't throw over if they need to.
Everything they say is just bs.

Check!
