McCain doesn't have any principles. He had rhetoric that he was constantly fine tuning to grab the support of different bases that he was losing touch with along the campaign trail.
He is not a man of principle, or honor, or even decency. What he once was, he is no longer. He sold himself out to be a career politician. There's no other way to describe it. He deserved to lose.
you morons STILL think the pick of Palin was to attract dems?
oh yeah, we all loved him when he was part of that "gang of 14" BSWell, after all, McCain had SUCH a lock on the support of his conservative base.
The GOP will never be vocal about immigration because of the coveted Hispanic vote.I think the GOP's problem is they were not far enough to the right!
They need to move even further, and make sure to be more vocal about
their stance on immigration, and let us know where pro america is again.
These are the keys to the gop winning again.
McCain is a has-been. He may have been something in 2000, but now he's has-been. Actually, he was that way when the campaign began. Romney or Ron Paul would've done the job.McCain doesn't have any principles.

Actually, it was his dramatic move to the right in order to gain the nomination that turned many of us away from him. So, basically, the republicans still don't realize how they lost so big. Figures...
Interesting. I never really knew McCain to embrace GOP principles until he became their candidate. Seems to me he was running on his own program as often as not prior to that.
I didn't notice him embracing GOP principles AFTER he became their candidate. I was by turns amazed and disgusted with the GOP's slavish willingness to kiss ass for a man who took so much glee for so long in treating them like garbage in order to suck up to the left. It was like watching a battered wife sitting in the ER, with her black eye and broken arm, explaining to the cops that her abusive husband is "really a good man and a good father".
Well, the GOP actually quit embracing GOP principles. But yeah, all I ever really remember hearing of him was whenever he broke ranks with the GOP in voting.
I thinks it's funny how quickly mccain gets thrown under the bus. Nevermind that he was elected to that role by the republican party. Sure, his "mavricky" persona included finding compromise with dems.. but that was one thing that I appreciated about him even if he had to move to the right in order to lure the base. Sure, he eats crow now about Palin but she did appeal to the base and energized his game THEN. You know, when you were all telling us how great she (and HE) would be for the nation. To be honest, if you wanted Romney then you should have put Romney in the role. It's unfortunate that what could have been a republican party headed by members willing to reach across the isle will now slingshot the other direction in some post-election wound licking. And you do yourself no favors talking shit on mccain for your own democratic fault.
Republicans and (run for the hills) conservatives i'm talking to you.
What really amazed me was how contemptuous they were of him for most of Bush's last term, and then he surged ahead in the primaries, and suddenly the same people were brownnosing him to beat the band and trying to bully me into voting for him, and NOW the exact same bunch of dickless weasels are going on about how they "always knew" he was a bad choice.
Makes me glad to say I'm not a Republican, I'll tell you that much.
Play nice. Some of us have been tossing him under the bus repeatedly for a LONG time. He did not have the support of traditional conservatives. His mavericky persona did not appeal to the party faithful and he burned more than a few bridges. Selecting Palin was his shot at garnering that party faithful support.
There is no criticism of McCain from me today that I wasn't posting BEFORE he was selected as the GOP nominee.

LMAO! Dickless weasels. I usually call them spineless pussies.
But yeah, I know what you mean. Maybe they should be asking what they did wrong instead.
You are right.. he didn't have the support from the traditionals.. but who elected him? With Palin he gambles and lost... but she wasn't without utility. for those who can rise above throwing him under the bus I applaud you. For those who believe mccain should eat his shit sandwich alone... well... im just sayin..
You mean who nominated him? Cast your mind back to the primaries, and recall, if you will, which states he did well in initially, giving him enough of an appearance of an edge over his competitors for the limp, testosterone-challenged GOP to fall slavering upon him, proclaiming him "electable". You will see that the states in question were ones where - surprise! - Republican primaries are not restricted to actual Republicans.
gimme a break. your primary was not hijacked by ninja liberals trying to sabotage you nominee. for real.

If that is your "election was stolen" excuse for what happened so be it. enjoy hiding behind that strand of hair.
