Comments on: Senator McCain, Have You No Decency?

Surely Gov. Palin deserves respect (not protection; she can do that herself) from the man who leads her Party. To keep silent is to be seen as petty--and petty McCain has never been. He's been respectful and supportive of Hillary and he did choose a Woman as his running mate, to his credit. Now, let's see McCain fight for Sarah, too! She deserves nothing less--whether you agree with her conservative ideology or stands or not. This is about principles in Media War Time! And she needs her buddies to stand up for her! Especially the man who had the foresight to choose HER! McCain must take Larry’s advice here and speak up on behalf of his former presidential mate to avoid having his legacy tarnished.

McCain should do the HONORABLE thing and "come out clean" on where he stands with Palin's latest media holocaust--without appearing to be disrespectful to her own ability to weather the storm! Larry's post is strong enough to, hopefully, force McCain to take ACTION. To do otherwise would also darken his legacy as the First presidential candidate from the Republican side of the fence to enlist a Female V-P--to his immense credit. However, to refuse to speak up on behalf of his former Presidential ticket partner is....misogynist!And I don't think Sen. McCain would want to have his legacy tarnished. He showed grace and wisdom and respect toward HIllary Clinton. I am sure he can offer Sarah some badly needed support to fight off the sexist media 'leg thrillers' who'd like nothing better than to bloody yet another woman of distinction. Agreed.

If they had waited, they could have easily run <strong>Michael Steele</strong> at the top of the ticket and we wouldn't be in this constitutional crisis right now. the republicans made a huge blunder when they announced their nominee too early.

I am not sexist. I am a white male who votes for who he thinks is the best candidate. I guess I'm just too liberal to vote for Palin. I admit that I don't vote for a candidate just because they are a woman. But I don't vote against a candidate because they are a woman either. I voted for a woman alderman in my city. I voted for Hillary in the Primary. My opposition to Palin has nothing to do with her gender. Take care Hillary or Bust. I am just looking for a place where I can support Hillary without being hated for not voting for Palin. I appreciate your reply and not being hateful like some of the other replies. Hillary or Bust

I love Hillary. Look at all the replies to what I said. Hell they even called me an OBOT. Before Hillary lost the primary I was welcome here and I understood what the blog stood for. I don't see how Palin comes close to being Hillary. I thoght this blog was Pro-Hillary. Not Pro-Palin. Despite everyone bashing the hell out of me no on explained to me how this place became a Palin blog. I was hoping for a civil discussion and instead got hate. I voted Obama because I see Palin for sure as a continuation of Bush. I don't like her politics. I don't like her religion. I don't think she is qualified to be President. Obama has surrounded himelf with ex-Clinton staffers. He is not trying to destroy the seperation of church and state. Obama will hopefully continue to surround himself with Clinton people. I hope he picks RFJ Jr. to be on his staff. Well since I don't like Palin I guess I'm not welcome here anymore. Maybe I can find a place that still loves Hillary for Hillary. Not because she was a woman. I love women but just because I don't like one women because of her politics does not mean I hate women. I am going to support the new President. Had McCain won I'd be supporting him too.. hoping like hell he didn't die. Hillary Supporter. Not an OBOT. Not a Palin loving Republican. Palin's politics have nothing to do with Hillary. You guys love Palin so much. Do you think if Hillary were reading this blog she'd appreciate you guys thinking that her and Palin are the same? Hillary is my favorite politician. I don't disrespect her by supporting Palin. I don't disrespct her by saying Obama is the same as her. I will always love Hillary. The election is over. Why has this blog changed from pro Hillary to pro Palin? If anyone knows of a blog where people like me who voted for Hillary in the Primary are welcome even if they voted Obama in the General.. please let me know. I'm glad you all love Palin. She isn't for me but I won't bash you guys for who you like. SJ

I also agree with the idea that he should not play the "man" who comes to the defense of the "woman". I think she's handling the whole thing quite well and enjoying it.

I know the leakers aren’t McCainiacs because they wouldn’t embarrase McCain the way these leakers did. I think it’s coming from former Bush staffers (Tucker Eskew, Nicole Wallace)in McCain’s campaign.

While she was talking with Palin, McCain called and Palin stopped their interview to talk with McCain. I don't agree with all of the criticisms to apply to the campaign.... they did get contact going, just not soon enough. I found McCain to be weak and inconsistent in his campaign. I think McCain assigned traits to Palin she didn't have or weren't developed enough to be convincing so I think she was a poor choice. I would never vote for her (too far right for me and very nearly forced me to leave the top of the ballot blank) but she is going to have to do some of what it is claimed she can do if she wants to run for higher office. If Palin and Obama are my choice in the future, I will leave the top blank and look for moderate Repubs. Here’s another update:
