(2,332 posts)The Lincoln Project people aren't responsible for Palin being a VP candidate. None of them played a leading role in bringing her to the attention of McCain--and, yes, Steve Schmidt counts as one of the people who wasn't pushing for her, at least not before the end of August. That he's responsible for making her the candidate is a lie of the worst and dumbest order.
Really. You know why?
Because John McCain--and ONLY JOHN MCCAIN--elevated Tundra Twit to the national stage because he chose her as his running mate.
Nobody else made that choice. He did. So sick of idiots refusing to hold that self-serving scumbag responsible for a choice only he made--or could make. Unless you want to say that the man was so weak and pliable that he just did what his handlers told him. Do you really want to go there?
No. Then stop blaming others for a decision that only John McCain made.
