McCain: "I Wasn't Shocked" To See Palin Quit, But She's Not A Quitter

Sen. John McCain tells "Meet the Press" that he was "surprised" but "wasn't shocked" to see Alaska Governor Sarah Palin resign as Governor of Alaska. Yet he later says, "I don't think she quit." He then says that it's "consistent" with qualities of leadership to quit.

When asked whether or not he would endorse her in 2012, McCain said it's "too early", but he thinks "she will play a major role" in 2012.

Goddamn the title is priceless. What a fucking joke.

Romney won't win in 2012 when his record gets out.

- He appointed only 9 GOP judges in 36 appointments.

- His RomneyCare heath plan is a big goverment failure.

- He didn't support the constitution by taking no action against MA sanctuary cities.

- He refused to support Newt's Contract with America in 1994 and called it a bad idea.

- He attended a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in 1994 and his wife donated money. PP is nation's largest abortion chain.

Sarah quit for the obvious reason: She can make tons of money using her new found fame. I would've done the same thing but unlike Sarah, I wouldn't have lied about it. At 30-100K per speech and it doesn't even have to be a good one or make sense for that matter. All she needs mention are key talking points and  the Tea Baggers are more than happy to shell out their hard earned money! Whats funnier is that the GOP such as McCain have no choice but to put her up on a pedestal, lol!

McCain is a credit to the USA. I cannot believe that he is consistently so nice about Palin. After what she has said and how she performed in his campaign, she does not deserve one bit of it. She's a totally incompetent bitch.

[HelloWalterSobchak]

she quit, but she's not a quitter? doesnt make much sense.

How could she be more effective for Alaska by selling books in Michigan? McCain doesn't know that there was a quote "promise" to serve out her term? Why the f-ck did she put her hand on the bible and raise her other hand. McCain is somehow hiding something. He is afraid to say anything negative about her. Why? she rips him & his organization constantly. She said nothing nice about anyone who was trying to help her not mess things up, They were steering her because she had no idea how to drive.

What qualifies Sarah Palin to be President? she is just a second rate beauty contestant!

If you want to disregard Obama's expeience as an Ivy league honor graduate, attorney, constituional law professor, State Senator and U.S Senator than so be it! I will disregard Sarah Palin's time at 5 different Universities obtaining her degree in communications, Mayor of Wasilla (population size is the same as the street I live on) and Govonor of of Alaska. HA HA HA HA HA :)

I agree with McCain on one thing, Sarah Palin and her family were attacked by the dems and the left like nothing else during the Presidential race. And he was right they were ahead until the economy went south. and everyone believed all the hope and change promised by Obama. Another thing Palin has more experience to be president then Obama does. What qualifies Obama, his community organizing with Acorn?

Cain sucks... too much politics when he speaks.

[KamikazeKoscki]

The investigator, Thomas Daniel, sided with Palin in her frustration with having to defend herself against a barrage of ethics complaints. He suggested that Alaska lawmakers may need to create a law that reimburses public officials for legal expenses to defend complaints that end up being unfounded.
