John McCain: I Didn’t Pick Romney Because ‘Sarah Palin Was The Better Candidate’

Benjy Sarlin

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) defended Mitt Romney from Democratic speculation that he passed on him as a 2008 running mate after reviewing his tax returns, saying Sarah Palin was simply the better choice at the time.

McCain called the tax claims “outrageous” and “disgraceful” in an interview with Politico Tuesday. He said he chose Palin “because we thought that Sarah Palin was the better candidate.”

Ouch!

[get the red out]

1. That has to hurt

Romeny might have been better off if McCain had said his tax returns showed he was a rich ass that didn't even pay taxes. But Palin the better candidate?????? Ewwwww.

2. I don't know if that sounds worse for Rmoney or McCain.

Palin was a better candidate for VP than Rmoney?
Good job nominating him for P this time you idiots!

McCain thought Palin was a better choice?
What an imbecile!
Then again...maybe he was right. Rmoney is pretty damn pathetic. At least Palin was "interesting."

4. Yesterday Steve Schmidt said they picked Palin because of

Cindy McCain's homes and the rich image problem. Do not fugg with a man' wife and not expect a reaction.

I'm lovin' it.

[malaise]

3. Holy Facting Shite

They never vetted tha tbat shit crazy women but she was considered better than Rmoney - that should be the real game changer - they are eating each other now.
Steve Schmidt said it was about Gramps wife's homes.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahaha -I'm freaking lovin' it.

5. after that statement

I wonder why we'll have to vote in November, It should be a no brainer now. McCain would've been better off saying Romney was a secret muslim...oh wait

[rustydog]

6. My question to McCains interviewer: "Did he blow snot out his nose after saying that?"

[Poll_Blind]

7. LOL- what a SLAM!

Whether he knows it or not...

I think, at least deep-down, he knows it.

14. Jesus Christ! And she was just going for the Number 2 spot on the ticket!

Good lord, what is in those tax returns anyway??

15. "I went to McDonald's because they had better food than Burger King" - same shit, mind you.

Burger King just has more corporate baggage.

22. The real question is whether that is because of McCain's idiocy or Rmoney's everything else.

This statement does nobody any favors, I'll tell you that much.
