    It wasn't just Obama, McCain also had a role in using the IRS to harass his political opponents

    And now you know why no one ever went to jail over this and why there was never really much interest investigating it, especially on the part of the Senate.

    Loving treatment from his friends on the left

    In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, “You’re getting a little thin up there.” McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.”

    https://amgreatness.com/2018/05/09/john-mccain-fake-maverick/

    Yet McCain, in spite of his fairly unoriginal path to advancement (is there a quicker way for a Republican to get the attention of the media than to denounce his own party?), did manage to stumble into a formula that for one brief shining moment looked like it might work for him and for the GOP in 2008. That moment was when he picked Sarah Palin to be his running mate—and before she became an object of ridicule. That she became an object of ridicule was partly her fault. But voters saw how McCain responded first to the praise she received (he appeared to resent it) and then to the merciless attack on Palin. That attack happened because she was effective at the convention and it put the fear of God into the Democrats. That McCain would not try to get in sync with her on message and would not defend her, manfully, when she was attacked hurt him. People saw then what kind of a guy he is. And now, shamefully, he is using his final days to remind us.

    It must gnaw at McCain’s deepest longings to see how Trump used exactly the strategy that many people then urged him to adopt to build support among working class voters in the Midwest. Trump proved actually to be a maverick, not just to play one on TV.

    McCain's campaign was dead in the water prior to his selection of Palin.
    Wait. You said he was ahead in the polls right after he selected Palin until she opened her mouth. So which is it?
    Wow, you're really not very bright and not very honest are you.
    This your quote?

    "She didn't cost him the election. The only time he ever led in the polls was after he selected Palin."
    So you're a liar and not very smart. I never said anything about her opening her mouth as the reason why McCain dropped in the polls and yes, the only brief period of time that McCain ever led Obama in the polls was after he selected Palin. You still confused dumbfuck?

    Gallup also reported Monday that the Republican convention, and in particular the selection of Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate, has substantially closed the enthusiasm gap which has long favored the Democratic ticket.

    Six in ten Republicans now say they are enthusiastic about voting in the presidential election; only 42 percent said the same a week ago. Democrats continue to have a seven point advantage by this measure, though a week ago that advantage was 19 points.

    I'm still bitter that McGovern got crucified for Eagleton. A little crazy in a VP is a good thing. Palin had nothing to do with my decision. It was time for Obama and I agree there was no one on the GOP side

    I don't even remember who ran in the primaries

    Speaking of McGovern (every bit the 'war hero' as McCain ever was)....did the country lose it's shit over his death? Flags flying at half staff, lying in state at the Capitol, round-the-clock coverage/breaking news?

    Honest to god, I haven't seen this level of attention to anybody dying since Bobby Kennedy was shot (Race was there). Multiple Presidents have died since then and they didn't get shit in comparison.



    McGovern was very much a war hero. He pretty much had an entire Ambrose book dedicated to him.

    So you're both a liar and a dumbfuck too. The selection of Palin wasn't announced until the very end of August. The downward trend had nothing to do with Palin, she wasn't even on the ticket yet. But feel free to show us more of your ass.

    What really killed McCain is his response to the financial melt down that started in mid-September. Prior to that he was leading in the polls.

    Huh?

    You are correct about McCain getting a lead after the announcement (August). But then people asked who is Sarah Palin and the downward trend seen right above happened (September). Can you read? Or you just trying to be a TUFF guy. Won’t last long either way.

    Like I said, you're not very bright. So McCain's poll number were dropping in August before Palin was even added to the ticket. Sweet Geezus and I thought the Shed liberals were fucking morons.
