McCain Refuses To Discuss "Game Change" With Matt Lauer

[z1rparts]

Matt has a vagina and is a shitty excuse for a journalist.

[NewtGingrichforprez]

You tell them Mccain. You should have won instead of that monkey.

[dovespin1]

McCain is trying hard not to explode. He knows Sarah was the biggest mistake he ever made and it kills him to not just say it.

[weetabicks1]

Preserve what little dignity you have left and admit that Palin was a disaster.

[TheFallingVengence]

i remember this live. comeon lauer focus on the real topics for the interview

[TwitterBug26]

"I hope you understand my asking the questions." Translation: "I win."

[IncognitoShhh]

"I hope you understand why I am asking the question" What sort of reporter sas that to the person they are interviewing. It was a perfectly reasonable question and any other reporter in any other country would have pushed harder as McCain was obviously becoming upset. But NOT in the american press. They might not get invited to press conferences. What a joke. Is there even a REAL journalist left in the u.s? This is why americans can't trust their media.

[larmar6058]

@IncognitoShhh The kind of reporter that asks John McCain, "What were you thinking by trying to saddle our country with this box-of-rocks, who would have been 1-heart beat away from the nuclear button?"

How totally stupid can you Con-Self-Servites be?

[daoudrafik]

I'm dying to see whether he'll endorse failin' Palin in 2012 or not. My prediction is he won't. And when that happens, it's gonna be a BIG political kick in the ass for her.

[1333fuller]

I do not understand him asking the question; what was the point?

[danzig2288]

Good job McCain. This has nothing to do with who prefers who. This is a perfect example of someone standing up for themselves and not answering stupid questions.

[toothpickdinner]

its about time thanks matt laurer mccain is alway been scared to bring the issue up about mccain picking sarah palin even with proof she is a idiot he wont admit it

[jopuchez]

Thank you Matt Laurer for pushing John McCain on this issue...we could've had an idiot politician in the Oval Office when she should've been better off somewhere else. Fox News? She's fine there...in Alaska? That's fine...but the White House?! HECK NO! And John McCain should be ashamed for gambling this country's state pickin' a risky and incompetent running mate.

[RoyalOakDude]

He won't comment because it's ALL TRUE!!!

[RackedRabbi]

Love the commentary in the heading of this video. Why should McCain address this pulp drivel?  To do so would give credence to the gossip mongers.

[sleepy185]

@queen why is he an ass? because he decided to stick up for him self?

[donnyRandom]

"Game Change"?

How about adult diaper change?

[tkcomputerservice]

Could care less about Lauer or McCain. But really, Liberal or Conservative? Tell me, what Conservative is against liberty and what Liberal is for waste. They got you people snookered into in-fighting, while they destroy our great nation. Time to pull your heads out of the sand people!

[seanbone]

Matt Lauer is a disgusting liberal...no different than those fools on "The View".

[166beads]

Thats sly McCain, metion a bigger problem to avoid a question, yes there are bigger problems, but if we were to forget all the smaller problems you would end up with a lot of small problems, which amounts to a very big problem.

[chinacat22]

Oh, they crucify Reid but they let this douche have a pass. Repubican hypocrites.

[Rothabilly]

All politicians are liars. It's a prerequisite. Unfortunately we often have to choose the lesser of two evils because of this.

[painet1776]

"I just spent some time with our troops so... I deserve to avoid the question."

We're lucky this guy didn't get into office.

[TheReality23]

Sorry,I respect McCains military service to this country but he is now a dishonest politician.Part of the problem not the solution.Obama is not a whole lot better.What were looking at here is no longer a matter of which party is better.Its now a matter of a completeley broken system across both parties.Most with some sort of corporate ties they should not have.Its just a shame because its this type of behavior that is really causing the problems in this country

[SlowRealization]

He said it all when he started, I wouldn't know. lmao, sad when a morning show asks the tough questions.

[sleepy185]

@wtfoof, obama lied about putting the bills online,he lied during his campagn speeches, he lied in all of his health care speeches and he lied about alot of other things. if you actualy watched some of his speeches and had half a brain you would know when he was lieing.@cutie what do you mean republicans speaking in year old talking point? lauer is the one that brought up mccains campagin which has been long over, so wouldnt that mean democrats speak in year old talking points?

[CuTiEpIe199802]

Typical republican- won't take responsibility for anything and speaks in year-old talking points

[hetropride]

Are you sure you are not talking about hussein obama, the liar in chief? I have never met a liberal that accepts personal responsibility. What the hell does the issue of Palin have to do with the criminal administrstion we are dealing with now?

[surgewakefield]

Seems so fake. Tired of these fake shits in office.

[forfaka]

I am so glad that McCain did not become our president. The man is liar and a crook and helped Keating to rip off senior citizens with their life savings. 99.999% of politicians are one notch below child molesters.

[sleepy185]

mccains campaign was good, at least mccain did not lie through his teeth on all of his campaign speeches like obama, obama has not done any thing that he promised, and @HP how was mccain powned? mccain tour lauers ass appart. lauer couldnt even speek because he was so affraid of mccain.

[wtfoof]

@sleepy185 , Tell me what he lied about?

[sleepy185]

lol lauer is like affraid to talk because mccain is kicking his ass.

[Queenilene]

@sleepy185, McCain IS an ass,

[FatoDrunkoAndoStupid]

I'm so proud of you McCain, so proud for you being proud of people who you are proud of. I'd like to take the time to share my pride in your pride for you are truly proud of things that you won't discuss.

[hobo59]

Ahhhhh, Palin, Palin, Palin, when is all this liberal fear mongering going to stop ?

[dudeman1109]

All you fools talking shit about the reps. or the dems. are part of the problem... Falling right into the game with your lack of general knowledge.. McCain isnt the bad guy, Obama isnt the bad guy.... The federal reserve, the g20, the bilderbergs, the world bank cartels, these are the enemy.. And they dont give a fuck about You, John McCain, Palin or anyone else. They would rather see you die than lose the money you are already paying them.. Get that reality through your thick heads. Wake Up

[elijahablaze]

matt lauer is a child molester & should be fired

[Roggiedodgie]

ummm...this was a waste of my time. how bout you?

[Palin123Sucks]

Haha, McCan't made Palin and shows her thanks by shitting on him every chance she gets. It will continue to haunt him until his death. And then she will shit on his grave. What a pathetic old man. John McCain = the loser's loser.

[DillonX]

McCain pretty much admitted he didn't check out Palin well.

[gracezchen35]

Lauer is the poster child of the jewsmedia. I can't wait until Ahmadinejad opens a soap and lampshade factory in Tel Aviv. It will do America a great favor.

[goread41]

The mindset of McCain and Falcon the balloon boy are eerily similar.

[bill4488]

Am I my Mcbrothers Mckeeper. Mccain. Cain. I think what he meant was he was overseas checking on his investments so to speak.

[vujade1]

As if McCain doesn't already do a great job in exposing himself as incompetent. Clearly one can see now the symbolic function behind the exclusion of Ron Paul from New Hampshire's last presidential candidate debate.

[MakeupByNazra]

haha take that matt!!!!

[bigbooboobaby]

@mushroomhead777 , like anyone would give a rats ass what you have to say. stick to what you know, like begging guys to suck their cock. it's odd the things we find on others via google, hence the search on you shows gay porn on xtube & jizzflixxx & telling guys you love their cock you loser.

[davethecaveman]

one other thing,anyone who thinks McCain should not be called on this,guess again.This was brought up over a book,recently published.lauers questioning is fair and why shouldn't dickhead McCain take his lumps like everyone else.Republicans give a rats ass about women,if you voted for her you were tricked.

[HPhenomenal]

LOL McCain JUST GOT OWNED!!! I LOVE MATT LAUER!

[davethecaveman]

McLame no likey being questioned by the media when he doesn't know the question. The Russians are losing my respect by honoring this Dunce of a man. McCain,and everyone his age,retire so we can all move forward,you continue to constipate things with your old school political nonsense,which by the way has been reformed to an ugly ugly art. Thanks Lauer for cornering daddy warbucks about his dumbass use of a woman to try to win the election.He could have chozen from a dozen smarter women.

[sleepy185]

lauer just got owned by mccain. GO MCCAIN!!!!!!!!

[uttfan]

@sleepy185 ill double that!!!!!!!!

[spiralmetal]

I think this is just as stupid as picking on Obama about his citizenship, which by the way if you do some real investigation, you'll come to the conclusion that he is almost certainly a natural born citizen.

McCain makes a good point here. We need to focus on the real concerns of Americans like our economic troubles, lack of health care, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

[cysthead30]

I'm grateful everyday that the McCain/Palin ticket didnt win... and I find Sarah Palin to be one of the worlds most high-profile morons (she'll fit in just dandy at Fox News as a commentator).... but... I dont see the point in this line of questioning by Lauer. Its a dead issue... its history.. and I think its a source of embarassment for McCain.. so I can see why he was defensive over that line of questioning.

[TheWiseCommenter]

"I wouldn't know" says it all right there.

[quetou]

I wonder if McCain is proud of being "The old school version of Tiger Woods when it comes to infidelity"

[1982ANY]

man good thing this red neck dident come our president

[valgehiir]

he is proud? of what? How does he feel before going to sleep at night, or does a person loose any semblance of humanity at some point in his life.. oh I'd like to know what he really thinks..

[valgehiir]

that smug old fuck is smiling away as if this is all good fun. He put a nuclear codes in hands of retarded person, and he thinks it is a fucking joke.

Palin is what she is.. but I really hate McCain

[ConnerHudson]

"He put a nuclear codes in hands of retarded person" You're complaining that she is a retard all the while writing like one.

 A nuclear codes? lol The irony.

[valgehiir]

@ConnerHudson I did not run for The Presidency Of US of A, so I am allowed to be retrded, ok!

[KatrinSchoss]

@ConnerHudson He's not American you idiot.

[realmenplaynes]

um, he's not smiling to be smug. he's trying to be nice. matt lauer is asking questions about a non-issue that mccain politely said he wasn't going to address. then he said he'd rather talk about the war and all of our other problems.

how does he think it's a joke? lauer is the one talking about inane subject matter.

[alhex123]

yahoooooooooooooo

[dangela81]

"Palin sucks and is stupid and couldn't spell policy if she had a dictionary. Blah. Blah. Blah."

Yet here we are 14 months removed from her on the ticket and MSNBC had a Palin segment on each of the 5 hours of Countdown last week. You leftys need to get a topic.

You know why they obsess about Palin? Because the real news is not favorable to them.

10% unemployed...The interest on the debt amassed this year alone is greater than any single year deficit under Bush. You libs are funny.

[mike257257]

This is what I don't like about politicians. "I'm not gonna answer that question, we have two wars to fight!". Answering the question doesn't waste time, since you are there anyway...

[marcymartin]

Big Joke Senator McCain?

Now he plays the dead troop card!

Go F yourself and your sleazy campaign !

Your wars senator, your party's fault the economy collapsed and causing the unemployment...

not Obama's

[ndy79]

McCain is such a tool.

[marcymartin]

Can you image if this jackass was running the country?Obama is cleaning up the mess after the GOP destroyed the economy, the reputation of the US and shredded the Constitution.

Took us to war on lies, declared "mission accomplished" when Bid Laden was still at large. Spent 1 Trillion on war, killed innocent kids in IRAQ.... should I go on ....how about " and McCain doesn't even bother to vet his bogus VP pick...and you people want more of this????????

[covertbabo12]

Carrie Prejean for President in 2012

Richard Simmons for VP

[shandirocks]

Obama is ruining this country.

Palin for president in 2012

[mattleroi]

Palin would do better?

[shandirocks]

ALOT Better.

We dont need a president who supports marxism and friends with terrorists and psycho preachers who hate this country. Obama is a wolf hiding in sheep clothing.

[elixirguitarist]

Actually we do need a president who knows and supports marxism (which I dont believe Obama does). If you actually took the time to read about Karl Marx and his theories, you would support him- unless of course you are the bourgeoisie, in that case fuck you.

[dangela81]

Oh God. I've heard this before.

Why did the Soviet Union fail if communism is so effective and why if it is so effective do the need to kill 30 million people to "make it work"?

"Because"says the young and naive communist, "It hasn't been done right yet."

Communism fails because it ignores freewill. On paper, where everything goes according to plan, it seems brilliant, until 300 million people become the 300 million varialbles communists fail to see they are.

[ConnerHudson]

elixirs. I use those strings; they're good. But saying stuff like if you read Marx you would support him? You realise you sound like a clown, right?

[elixirguitarist]

No I am proud of the fact that I support Marx. To me, and millions of other educated people, you sound like a clown.

[dangela81]

These millions of other educated people are what we call students...idealists that have no concept of the things they believe other than it feels good to believe it. It is a causal relationship. The youth feels best when it runs counter to the aged. Then, one day they find themselves aged and realize how young they were then.

You will be there some day Elixir. And by the way, I use those strings too.

[elixirguitarist]

You're right I am a student. But, I did not learn about marxism from other "students", I learned it from a much much older generation. I saw the need for marxism through labor disputes, unemployment, poverty, exploitation of hard-working individuals, insanely rich individuals, poor healthcare, ect.

To me, it's just a matter of whether of not you have the guts to come out and say you hate the rich.

The bourgeoisie are nothing to be feared. They themselves are nothing without the worker.

[dpoDEVILDOG]

@elixirguitarist -- "How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin." U should take that to consideration

[dangela81]

Do you know why I knew you were a student? It is because the last time I heard such thoughtlessness was when I was in college, save the occasional college professor I encounter. If, you young fool, there were o business owners, who would the proletariat work for? The only answer is a government that controls production, in which case there is still someone between you and ownership. So long as there is a boss there is "the man".

[valgehiir]

@ConnerHudson , why are you talking to strangers here? calling them clowns etc.. Uh? No friends at all? sad sad fuck you are

[ConnerHudson]

valgehiir, I'm calling you a clown because you are one. If you need to resort to poorly thought out insults to make yourself feel better for me pointing this out, then go ahead.

[noiwudnttrip]

Spoken like a true democrat.

[scott797]

Why do you say his preacher hates America, just because he criticized aspects of it. Would you say MLK hated America, or JFK or any other progressive politician? I think it's ridiculous. I love living in a country where you can stand up and say Fuck America, and the police don't come and take you away. I would fight to defend his right to do so. I'm a republican and though I disagree with Wright's and many of Obama's ideas, I'll listen to them and still call them my fellow countryman.

[suep588]

@shandirocks Wow... are you serious? You can't be serious. I hope you are being sarcastic; however, ff you are serious, then I REALLY feel sorry for you and your ignorance.

[shandirocks]

Obama is a piece of shit. His stimulus plan did nothing to help the economy. All a waste of taxpayers money. Now he wants a gov controlled health system that most americans dont want and will drive costs up. ignorant fuck.

[elixirguitarist]

You know what a REALLY big waste of taxpayer money was? The Iraq War.

[youngrebels75]

@suep588 don't worry about Shadirocks. If somebody like that has to keep coming on posting minute after minute, the only person he's trying to convince is himself.

[Fitzcard]

According to this book they are discussing Palin thought Saddam Hussian was in charge of Al-qeada, didn't know north and south Korea were two different nations?

Sure the broad is dense, but come on now.

Why would Lauer even endorse a National Enquirer smear a thon like this and expect to be taken seriously?

[wigginsdesign]

POLITRICKS - always the same. Distort & mislead for selfish gain

[sapaha39]

Palin vetting was horrible because obama's win was preplanned. They're all on the same team.

[strongsock]

lol mccain, what a fuckin snake. @ 0:50 he tried to get out of the question and change subject by mentioning how he was just around 3 american soldiers who died in afghanistan....

[Fitzcard]

So many people hate that women, if they would give it a rest they wouldn't be feeding her fire.

A year later and they are still on the war path.

[TXSK8R]

lol does it matter ML, glad to see a politician looking forward thats what we need.

[callouschristian]

Why didn't the McCain Campaign do a VP Dick Cheney vetting. A lot of people don't realized that Cheney Vetted for the Bush VP....before he chose himself! Wonder why......it's "ancient history" is what he would have us believe, I'm sure. McCain, the republicans....all terrorists.

[srexon]

callous indeed. what the hell are you rambling about? You're calling mccain a terrorist? You should be committed, your pathetic fool.

[callouschristian]

srexon: I didn't say JUST McCain was a terrorist. I said: "ALL REPUBLICANS ARE TERRORISTS!"

This is not FOX. Those of us in the real world expect you to get your facts straight if you're going to be spreading rumours. Work on it.

[bradleymxz]

Lol. Good thing the democrats vetted Obama to make sure he is a "natural born citizen." Good thing Matt Lauer asked Obama if he'd show a long form birtch certificate.

[callouschristian]

God, that is the stupidest thing I've seen since the last con rant I came across. Not even Martian Bachman is dense enough to use the worn out birther argument, long ago classed as gossip by any one who has an independent brain.

[bradleymxz]

Gossip? So you have seen it? Do digress. What does it say?

[callouschristian]

Most people with a search engine have. Bachman and the dronest of republican drones have cowered away from that claim by now. Good luck with it, though. Make a sign and stand on a street corner with a straw hat. That'll make it true!

[bradleymxz]

Please post a link of the long form birth certificate, thanks.

[bradleymxz]

That's what I thought

[robhex]

Palin vetting was horrible. Now McCain et al has unleashed a dimwit like Sarah on the country.

[callouschristian]

How nice it would be if Palin were the only dimwit unleashed on the country by the republicans. Unfortunately the list of short sighted con decisions is too long to even make.

[FanBrazil1]

Republicans are such douchbags.

From Bush to McCain! They're all the same!

[piercetaylor1]

ML is a douche bag.

[MrProgressivelib]

You mean the candidate has time to sit around and spend time thoroughly screening a vp candidate? If that were true, President Obama would have picked a vp that had a clue, and could say intelligent things. It's like we have Bush a heartbeat away from the presidency.

[CucciCadet]

LAuer is a dickhead. Just like most news reporters. he thinks he can be a lawyer and twist words around to get teh answers he wants.

Like it or not, what I said was the truth.

[Kickingit06]

McCain can leave something to be desired. However, I have a real issue with ML's condescending tone. He comes at him with that "inadequate vetting" crap over whether or not she had skeletons or not. But she actually accomplished stuff in her career. The democrats didn't care about vetting Obama and that he had never accomplished anything or all his socialist anti-American ties. Yet Lauer slobbers over him. Then he has that little 'presidential candidate' card for when he won't get in the dirt.

[callouschristian]

I had the same issue with the nature and tone of the questions at a presidential press briefing recently. The con response basically was "it's a free press". Interestingly, I wonder where that spirit was during the bush years when men like McCain were endorsing international crime, but am all for "freedoms". McCain and all republicans should feel lucky if the American People give them ONLY disrespect because they deserve far worse.

[Curington909]

A Correction? Seriously??

[scott0726]

I'm proud that Mccain didn't become president LOL

[prosncons77]

mccain is a douche

[zupkus]

well said wvaecats

[betterlucknexxtime]

McCain ran a horrible campaign. Nothing to proud of at all.

[JMehrman]

Lauer really needs a "correction".

[wavecats772]

Why isn't Liberal Lauer asking questions about Obama's vetting process. I'm more interested in that.
