ha ha ha “scheduling error”. He chose to hold a presser.

Priorities.

Skips briefing on Benghazi

Priorities straight

And that he let Barack the Liar off so easily in 2008 with undeserved “gentlemanliness” against a brass-knuckles, slime-spewing douchebag, and that he essentially ceded the election to this unqualified, incompetent megalomaniacal b.s. artist and weasel extraordinaire.

McCain is finally pissed.

With himself AND Obama.

Better late than never.

Get ‘em, Mac!

Speaking out against Obama would be interpreted and dismissed as sour grapes. Do you cultists need everything explained to you?

Basilsbest on November 14, 2012 at 10:20 PM

4 Americans killed. That is the FIRST question.

They held out for over 7 Hours, waiting for help. None came. That is the SECOND.

Even if this had happened on Reagans watch, those questions AND answer to the country should be “These men died because…”

But it happened on Obama’s: Black Democrat or not, that SHOULD be the first thing out of his mouth…not “A film did” or “A mob did…”

We haven’t heard that, have you?

Basilsbest on November 14, 2012 at 10:14/20 PM

A lot of revisionist history there.

What does it matter if it’s interpreted as sour grapes? Sarah Palin kept speaking out, and she was accused of far worse.

(Oh, and as much as I’ve disagreed with you, I don’t think I’ve ever insulted you by calling names).

Whether or nor he runs again, that doesn’t preclude him speaking out against Obama.

Palin never endorsed Gingrich. She was exactly right to keep the primary going. That length of time pulled Romney to the right, and BTW it gave him more stump experience. As for the brokered convention call, only Romney people would call that brain dead.

She certainly did endorse Gingrich, just not in an honest, forthright manner. She helped to keep the primary going so long that by the time it was over Mitt had to regroup and fund raise instead of going directly after Obama. And her call for a brokered convention, which would have left the nominee 2 short months to organize a campaign, was beyond stupid. It was brain dead. People who support her after such idiocy are cultists.

The best thing Palin can do now for the country is announce that she is not running in 4 years. Perhaps then the cultists won’t be swarming around the next nominee like a pack of hyenas.

As for McCain’s statement, the killing of Stevens and the other 3 was a preventable tragedy. Their deaths are however not a national security threat. The national security threat is that the man who failed to protect Stevens and then lied to cover his appalling breach of duty is still in power and one of the reasons he’s in power is that Petraeus covered for him – either because he was being blackmailed or feared being blackmailed.

The reporter asked a good question. McCain is a hero but not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Here’s the only thing people such as yourself accomplish:

You condemn and harass others on false, insulting claims of them being “bots” or “worshippers” of (at this time, it’s Romney, last few years it was “Bush”) while you engage in the same thing as to Palin.

There’s far more evidence of worship on the part of Basilsbest than any of the people you deride as Palin cultists. I’ll probably be called a Palinista here, but I don’t think I’ve ever suggested that Palin was the one person who could save the country, or the best politician in 200 years, or similar superlatives.

If anyone here has so much as said one thing that even alluded to not being stone-cold drunk on Palin, you and others ripped them apart and kept at it to the point that it resulted in bad feelings, resentments, disorder, just bad results.

Palin — I believe — is a media personality and not a Presidential candidate. She accomplishes a great deal of EMOTIONAL FERVOR on the behalf of issues by agitating the media and keeping persons, especially, such as yourself, occupied with her as a personality if not icon.

That’s well and good. But I do think you should stop harassing other people for their views and opinions when they are generally where you are on issues as to the Right and are clearly not Liberals. Because as long as you continue USING “Palin” as your cause and icon, you simply generate bad feelings about her. Yes, you do that.

Yeah, just a governor and vice-presidential candidate, and a politician that came closer to handing John McCain a victory than Mitt Romney with all his millions and 6 years of runnning for the presidency as first one type of candidate and then another could get. (Now he’s a progressive Republican! Now he’s a severe conservative! Now he’s a centrist who appeals to independents!) Sure, she’s nothing more than a media personality, like Snooki. Give me a break.

Palin showed dreadful judgment with her endorsement of Gingrich and her brain dead call for a brokered convention. Romney showed poor judgment when he did not defend Palin when she was blood libelled over the Phoenix killings. If he had done that and Palin had endorsed him early and then sat back we might be looking at a good man in the White House instead of a con man thug.

The GOP needs to find and new hero and rally around him or her.

Whether or nor he runs again, that doesn’t preclude him speaking out against Obama. And where was he during the last four years, anyway?

Palin never endorsed Gingrich. She was exactly right to keep the primary going. That length of time pulled Romney to the right, and BTW it gave him more stump experience. As for the brokered convention call, only Romney people would call that brain dead.

Poor judgment? Is that what you call not defending Palin after Gabby Gifford was shot? He and all those GOP who didn’t defend her did should be ashamed. They were perfectly willing to let her twist in the wind. That’s not poor judgment. It’s acting in complete self-interest. It’s interesting that you frame it in terms that if he had done so, then he might have been in the WH. How about he should have done so because it was the RIGHT thing to do!!!

We don’t need a hero. We need a leader. We won’t have to “find” him or her either. Because leadership is self-evident.

INC on November 14, 2012 at 7:54 PM

Very good answer.

What Basilsbest is having a hard time accepting is that Palin is smarter than he/she is, and could see the glaring weaknesses in a Romney candidacy. Palin stuck to one theme during the entire primary process: the winning candidate should have to earn the nomination.

Romney became a much better candidate than he used to be because he had to fight for the nomination. Sadly, it wasn’t enough. Not that I was surprised.

You might think it shouldn’t bother him one bit. He won, after all. But to a Narcissist… the Narcissistic mind can ignore a hundred admirers and focus on the one guy in the back corner of the room not smiling at him.

I have this feeling that, even though ObamaCare is about to become law, Obama is not going to have the success he had in his first 4 years.

And as for the election fraud, I read today that there were over 70,000 reports of voter problems across the nation.

We need House hearings on voter fraud or fair elections are going to be a thing of the past. It won’t matter who we run.

Dumb answer. Petraeus engaging in conduct which made him susceptible to blackmail is in my opinion a greater threat to national security than 4 dead Americans.

Basilsbest on November 14, 2012 at 6:36 PM

Wrong answer. McCain was right, and the reason why was summed up nicely here:

Sen. McCain’s response was perfect. He knows the press are pushing the Patreaus scandal as a red herring to protect their boyfriend. To hell with them. The president, vice president, defense secretary, national security director, Valerie Jarrot, and several others sat in the Situation Room and watched Amb Stevens and three others die on sept 11 2012. There is no bigger story right now. Let the hearings begin!

RobertE on November 14, 2012 at 7:26 PM

That’s right. The whole reason the reporter asked this question is because the media doesn’t care about Beghazi and people being left to die by a callous and careless president. They’d much rather talk about a sex scandal affecting a general.

And McCain didn’t let them get away with it. Good for him.

This requires leaders. Any volunteers?

It’s actually a perfect situation for him. Take him down John.

Hey John, you forgot to add…”ya stupid Jerk!”

can_con on November 14, 2012 at 8:30 PM

Nah, that’s saved for conservatives.

my guess is Obama is doing the dirty with Rice…mooch ain’t going to be happy…
teejk on November 14, 2012 at 8:28 PM

Only if Rice is a tranny.

If anyone here has so much as said one thing that even alluded to not being stone-cold drunk on Palin, you and others ripped them apart and kept at it to the point that it resulted in bad feelings, resentments, disorder, just bad results.

Apparently you read a different version of HA than I do. During the primaries there were several people supporting Romney who were just plain nasty. Romney and his handlers initially lost no time sticking their thumb in conservatives eyes.

Palin — I believe — is a media personality and not a Presidential candidate. She accomplishes a great deal of EMOTIONAL FERVOR on the behalf of issues by agitating the media and keeping persons, especially, such as yourself, occupied with her as a personality if not icon.

Did it ever occur to you that Palin expresses much of what we feel? I think for myself. I loved Reagan and Palin but they are still flawed human beings—as we all are. I don’t like being called a cultist. Yesterday basilsbest was claiming Romney was too good for the republican party. No hyperbole there huh?

Lourdes on November 14, 2012 at 8:09 PM

squirm baby squirm…watergate was A ball compared to everything going on around him…wonder when Axelrod (the guy that has actually been running the executive branch) retires due to “health”?
