They said something interesting on CNN. The man running with the best military record lost the last 4 elections.

What was Al Gore's military record?

I don't remember that is just what they said.

I think he ran a very poor campaign, but there is no denying he is a great American. I thank him for his service to our country, and his pure love of being an American...

 

Poor in terms of a chance to win - yes I agree. But I was speaking merely of being classy and decent.

Inventing the version of the internet that the military started using 20 years ago or whenever they started using it.

I don't know either. But he was only running against Bush, and it looked liked he pulled some serious strings to stay out of harms way, not it may not take much to beat that.

Senator McCain has served his country well during his life and ran a campaign that, in the end, he can say that he didn't waiver on his principles or compromise his character and beliefs.

 

Thank you, Senator McCain, for your service to our country and for conceding with true dignity.

 

I didn't always agree with him, but I always respected him. If he had won I would have supported him. I hope he works with Obama in helping our country.

He was a photographer in Vietnam.

I have more respect for McCain now than I did before he began the general campaign. I really do not understand all of the comments about McCain "selling out." I have followed John McCain's career for many years and his positions changed relatively little in the past eight years. Obama refused to honor his agreement with McCain to limit campaign spending by accepting federal matching funds. Yet, McCain honored that commitment, knowing that it would put him at an extreme disadvantage in the campaign.

 

McCain could have appealed to conservatives by changing his poisiton on illegal immigration and going after Obama on his proposal to issue driver licenses to illegals. He refused to do so.

 

McCain could have shored up his conservative support by reversing his position on drilling in ANWR. He refused to do so.

 

I am no McCain fan politically but these charges of McCain pandering to the right wing of the party are baffling to me. I wish that he would have moved more to the right but the fact is he continued to reach out to the left and center instead.

 

Naming Palin as his running mate was one of the few concessions that McCain made to the conservatives in the party and conservatives constitute a major part of that party.

 

Calling McCain a "sell out" makes absolutely no sense.

This was the John McCain I voted for yesterday, and in 2000 in the Primaries. He has been and continues to be what most Americans should ascribe to be in serving this country. :thumb:

Let's start with the bail out. McCain circa '00 never votes for a bill filled with so much pork.

Had the banks not failed as they did, this election may have been different. However, I respect and admired Senator John McCain for all he has done for our great nation and the grace and dignity with which he accepted this loss. This may be the most humble and sincere speech from a candidate who lost that I have ever witnessed. When McCain said 'You didn't fail, I did', I just about cried.

 

Thank you Senator McCain for your past and continued service to our country. You are a true American hero.

:thumb: This one we agree on TB&G.

 

We saw the real identity of John McCain tonight. He handled himself with class and his words were true to the core and an example for us all to follow. Without guys like John McCain we would have no country.

John McCain is a true American Hero.

 

That's the John McCain I like..........that was a great speech.:thumb:

McCain ran a bad campaign, sold out, and struggled overall. I think he is a great American but he has nobody to blame but himself for this loss.

 

I agree with most of what you said, but Bush should be more to blame for his loss.
