| I believe in the principle of Due Process  |
This is what can happen when you call someone up from the minor leagues who isn’t used to hitting big league pitching. I remember the t-shirt BJ saw on his first trip back to Little Rock. There was a picture of Socks, his cat, saying, “The mice in Little Rock ain’t nothing compared to the rats in DC!” I think this explains it. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I will not miss Mr. McCain when he dies. As for Mrs. Palin, if it is true that for the last decade Mr. McCain has told her one thing only to announce, basically on his deathbed, that the absolute opposite was true, I do not blame Mrs. Palin for responding. Ez “To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee” - Herman Melville - | |||

More evidence of this man’s despicable character. Palin can get in line with all those depositors from Lincoln Savings & Loan who got screwed by McCain. | |||

Interesting that McCain harbors so much ill will toward Republicans but apparently gets along with his former captors the North Vietnamese. | |||

Sometimes it's more effective to glare in silence. I would have let McCain be the only one looking small. Everyone knows we all think it was a mistake select him as lead on the ticket. This kind of talk from him further fortifies that opinion. The only consolation to me is that whomever the GOP presented back then was likely to be defeated so getting McCain out of the way made strategic sense. To me McCain is what happens to an individual when everything in life comes easy. His only real trial seems to have been in the Hanoi Hilton. Massive overwhelming trial no doubt, but cheesecake ever since. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

I don't see how McCain can say that about Palin. In hindsight sure maybe she wasn't the best pick, but at the time her addition to the ticket was the only thing keeping his feeble campaign alive. She was a super star for a while Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Acting out the prototypical angry old man, lashing out at everyone for his last memories, even in death he can't keep himself out of the limelight and focus on his family... | |||

I'm truly sorry McCain is dying and I wish him eternal peace along with his family. I also appreciate his service to our Country. But McCain's campaign was terrible and he was a terrible candidate. He went off his political rocker after that campaign and licked the boots of obama and other Dems. He is an embarrassment and a bitter, little man. As yes, Palin was and is not ready for prime time.

Yup. His campaign was on life support when he chose her. Gave his campaign a huge shot in the arm, at first. Then she started talking... Personally, I feel his campaign staff let him down badly in that respect. They should have been bringing her up-to-speed during her every waking hour and should never have let her loose, unscripted, before she was ready. She might (likely?) still have been a loose canon, but, still, that was execrable management, IMO. In the end: It was his campaign. He was the boss. The buck stopped with him. And to blind-side her like this, after all that time... Yes: It shows you what kind of man he is. "America is at that awkward stage.

McCain is a rancid piece of dogshit. Palin is just a dope. | |||

What he should be professing now is that he is a demo and has been since the beginning. That he loves them and always has. If he is into telling the world what he regrets most and cleansing his soul. That would be it. Standby, it may be coming. Idiot. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

I agree. This doesn't sound like a ten year old hurt that she hasn't gotten over (losing the election), this sounds like a brand new hurt from an unexpected quarter (betrayal through McCain's shift to blaming her). __________________________ "Sooner or later, wherever people go, there's the law.

I'd like to think if I were practically on my deathbed, I'd be concerned with something other than lashing out. | |||

Will he last beyond June? Hell, I may not, but will he? Summation: He caused more not less problems for Conservatives. Once dead, no more Mc problems.... | |||

Palin was relevant for 15 minutes back in the day, but our need for someone like her evolved into what we have today, Donald Trump. She is irrelevant now, has been for years. And my feelings on McCain has been broadcast in this forum already.

Yup, notice that the world hasn't really heard a beep from her for quite some time. Not until the bitter POS stabbed her in the back before he makes Q | |||

As has been said.... Why is this idiot still an active senator? He is obviously not capable of serving the office and his constituents. Resign now and go take care of what days you have left. Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | |||
