This is typical liberal-socialist rhetoric. Senator McCain didn’t run as a “nice” guy, but lost as a winner as far as respect for the American system. It is custom for the outgoing president to be professional and brief the new president, without animosity or resentment. On the other hand, people in your crowd, like Al Gore, who whined and cried foul in 2000 when he lost, is pale compared to Senator McCain. I didn’t vote for McCain – but at least he acted at the end as a statement instead of a political pimp. America doesn’t need socialism nor the politics of you and your kind.

Blah, blah,blah, blah…Hic! You should had told McCain before the election, not now. Suck it up and live with it! Just because he is black does not mean that he is bad, just like just because the sitting one is white does not make him right (and how wrong!).

John McCain has damaged his own reputation for no apparent reason:

Mr. Westlake,

A sense of family, you say. And I think you’re right on.
A family of terroristic, American-hating pukafied thugs whose idea of a family reunion is to talk about how to do the most damage to America in the shortest amount of time.

“Clearly, this guy [Mr Obama] is going to bring a great sense of family to the White House” – Bush

It is interesting to see George Bush appearing to grovel to Obama unlike McCain who, since he lost the election, has come across as genuinely gracious.

John McCain was Bob Dole was Gerald Ford was Bob Michael was…

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? HOW MANY TIME DO WE HAVE TO SEE LIMP-SPINED “MODERATES” GO DOWN IN FLAMES BEFORE WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE OBVIOUS–THAT ROCKEFELLER REPUBLICANISM IS A LOSING PROPOSITION???????

The Dems said the same thing the last two election losses. “We’re too nice.” It’s actually part of MSM conventional wisdom that that’s why they usually lose.

It’s not that McCain wanted to be “gracious.” It’s that he had little experience attacking Democrats. He didn’t know how to do it, or why to do it, or on which issues. He made his name taking on Republicans and conservatives, not liberals.

Think aboutit: He’s a longtime, 72 year old Republican…when’s the last time he had to pursuade voters that the conservative approach was better than liberal?

Agree with the article. McCain ran such a wimpy campaign that he was destined to lose because “O” ran an aggressive, salesy, slick, well marketed, very focused campaign. It makes me wonder what on earth McCain was thinking and if he would have continued that cluelessness as President. When McCain didn’t even mention Reszko, Ayers, Rev. Wright, Marxist mentors, etc, etc etc. he was HANDING the election to Obama. Imagine if McCain had a shady finance deal on his home with a convicted felon (Reszko), or had been friends with Timothy McVeigh for years after the Oklahoma bombing, or if he sat for 20 yrs listening to such a nasty, racist preacher. The Dems and the press would have eviscerated McCain and sowed such doubt about his character and judgment that we would never trust him as town dogcatcher.

republican Party: wake up to the new reality. The Dems play to win, not to maintain dignity and honor. Until you play by the same set of rules as your competitor, you’re going to find it incredibly difficult to win.

Business owners: If it comes to a situation where you have to lay off or fire some people because the tax burden on you is going up, if you have a choice get rid of the Obama supporters first.

Yes, it’s hardball now.

Don’t announce this, lest you get your *ss sued off or you get hauled up before Henry Waxman.

Just do it.
