Democrat's and Republicans must convince McCain to run with Kerry

[DevinDNC]

The latest CBS News poll, has Kerry beating that dork Bush, by 8 points... However, that number goes up a further 5 points when McCain is added (hypothetically) to the Kerry ticket.

This proves that a Kerry/McCain ticket would "Bitch Slap" a Bush/Cheney Ticket, and that is why John and the DNC (and those Republicans who are sick of being betrayed by Bush) MUST convince a a true American like John McCain to run with a true American like John Kerry...only the two Johns can heal America

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

No! No! A thousand times no!!!

Why not Ronald Reagan? Or Richard Nixon?

If McCain is the VP candidate, my vote goes write in to Attila the Hun.

[freetobegay]

4. I would bitch slap Kery if he picked McCain!

Give it a fucking break!

ON EDIT: spelling

6. What is a Democrate?

[sundog]

12. easy, easy, we didn't welcome him--

[Lou_C]

8. Oh Please

Republicans are so desperate that they want McCain to run with Kerry so that they can have someone that will be a winner in November.

[a_random_joel]

10. Democrates? Any relation to Socrates?

J/K

McCain is one of my favorite Republicans... which ain't saying much.

But having him on a Dem ticket? If he's only a heartbeat away, guess who's heartbeat is in the way?

[Wonk]

46. Now it's "Democrat's". Devin can correctly pluralize Republican but

not Democrat? :shrug:

[woofless]

11. What a crappy idea. I want a Democrat.

[Misunderestimator]

13. No, No, No... a Thousand Times, No!

[Robb]

14. Not until I see proof McCain pees in the shower.

:eyes:

[Misunderestimator]

15. LOL

[JVS]

20. I want proof that he poops standing up

[sundog]

16. Welcome Devin !

but no

:hi:

[matcom]

17. YEAH!! we'll start the DemoCRAPlican ticket!!

:eyes:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. why?

so that we are told that the dems are SO fucking pathetic that we cant pick 2 valid candidates from our own party?

[JVS]

19. I don't mean to be a hard-on but what do you mean by "Democrat's"

why the posessive?

Ok, actually I am trying to be a hard-on. :-)

[Deja Q]

21. Will somebody please lock these threads?

We're supposed to be an OPPOSITION party, darn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm tired of seeing "pure evil" and "half-baked evil".

A McCain/Kerry ticket is insane. Yes, I did put the names in the right order. I am really tired of "bipartisanship" where only the Dems cave in and the repukes don't do their share of compromising. Clinton gave us 8 years of that shit (though his mideast peace policy was one I actually loved and respected him for...)

The two Johns can find a couple of (corporate) Pimps for all I care. We need this ticket as much as we need AIDS.

Heal America? Not when it's continuing to give corporate america what it wants all the time. We're a country BY, OF, AND FOR THE PEOPLE. Not BY, OF, AND FOR THE CORPORATION.

25. the only bitch slap this would be

is to the face of lifelong loyal democrats. these mccain threads are fast becoming the stupidist shit i've ever seen on this board.

[Padraig18]

26. 3 words: Hell..... fucking..... NO!

This is the Democratic Party, and I do believe that Sen. McCain is a Republican who chairs Mr. Bush's AZ campaign.

'nuff said.

:grr::puke:

[newsguyatl]

27. DUers before you get in a tizzy

consider the source, and realize the probable intent of this thread.

[oasis]

28. We don't need McCain. We have a dozen more qualified Democrats

and we need to stress that fact to the "mainstream" media.

[sendero]

29. If Kerry chose McCain...

... (which I realize is NOT going to happen) - I'd just stay home. He may have a nice demeanor, he may be a lovable curmudgeon, but he's a freaking Republican and I'm not voting for him, period.

[JaySherman]

30. Uh, no. Absolutely NOT. The VP has two Constitutionally defined jobs.

And two jobs alone:

1) From Article 1. Section 3. Clause 4.
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

2) To serve as President in the event that the President is unable to serve out his term.

Any other duties are at the request and pleasure of the President only. Too many people forget or do not understand this. McCain, however much of a 'respectable Republican' many of us may think he is, is still a REPUBLICAN and a CONSERVATIVE nonetheless. Any administration (Repub or Dem) with an opposition party member a heartbeat from the Presidency and acting as the tiebraking Senate vote is courting disaster.

You Kerry/McCain supporters need to go back and reread (or just plain read) the Constitution:

[lumpy]

31. Kerry doesn't need McCain.

Ridiculous, and it isn't going to happen. McCain is more of an asset for this country and far more effective if he remains with the Republican party. God knows the US needs more McCains in the Republican party. The Congress would have a better chance of coming together and working effectively for the country if the 'other side' of the aisle were cleaned out of the radical spoilers.

[AlinPA]

32. This McCain crap is the media/Rove story to make any choice by

Kerry to appear as "second best". It won't work; either Edwards or Clark will boost our ticket a lot.

[efhmc]

33. This is not a viable ticket and would absolutely RUIN the Democratic

party. Maybe that is the reason this idea is being circulated.

[ibegurpard]

34. No they must not

but thanks for bringing this up yet again. Which I'm sure was your point.

[mzmolly]

38. Hey, I think it's time to bring back *poop* for these threads

:hurts: ;)

In the spirit of our friend Mr. Lee. :hi:

[Astarho]

35. The "Surrender Ticket" again

The ticket that says, "the republicans must be right , let's get on board."

IMO, McCain enjoys an underserved amount of respect, because most people don't know about the Keating Five, Black Mesa and various other shady dealings in his past.

And if that still isn't reason to not run him, he backs Bush!

[mzmolly]

36. No thanks!

:hi:

[TankLV]

37. NO FUCKING WAY!

No repukes, ever!

If McCain is in, I will sit this dance out - and it will only have that awful pick for 4 more wonderful bush* years!

There is no fucking way in god's creation I will EVER vote for a repuke - ever.

Repuke = NAZI. Don't ever forget that.

[LoZoccolo]

42. Staying at home = voting Bush*.

Don't ever forget that.

[LoZoccolo]

39. This is why it's funny that they pretend it's a possibility.

I told you it's an effective strategy. Never gonna happen, but I don't think it'll hurt if they keep associating him with McCain. So stop panicking already.

[LoZoccolo]

40. Actually, from now on a bunch of you people lie.

Now you know it would help Kerry, it wouldn't make people run away so stop saying that.

[Classical_Liberal]

41. McCain is as hawkish on Iraq as Kerry and Bush so I don't

think you are correct about this. He was an alt candidate last time around. He isn't this time. Believe it or not he is a real republican. He is just a traditional one.

[wildwww2]

43. If McCain is Kerry`s running mate. I won`t vote. I will be busy making

plans to leave the country. My Democratic party is ruined if a two-faced liar like McCain has to be on our Presidential ticket. Lieberman was bad enough. But McCain is the same as a Nazi to me. I will never again vote for a repuke. Never. Including that "too pompous to stand up for Americans votes to be counted" McCain. Anyone that does not like it can motherfucking sue me. So I hope that poll compensates for people like myself. Who know what a slimey pile of shit McCain and his election stealing party members are. And won`t vote for him. Two thirds of "Get Over It" is "Get Over". I refuse to let the maggots who lost by 540,000 votes "Get Over" On Me. They can take their "get over it" and use it as an enema.
Peace

Al Gore is My President

[LoZoccolo]

50. All the Bush* victims you leave behind thank you.

Hope you pick up a lot of chicks with that "I left the country because of McCain" line.

[Sparkly]

44. Not gonna happen

Why is this notion still being discussed? Why did CBS poll it?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

45. Not. A. Chance.

If John Kerry can't come up with a winning VP choice from his own party, then the Democratic Party should just call it a day.

Which, I suspect, many of those pushing this McCain/GOP VP shit are really wishing would happen.

[onecitizen]

47. I just cannot read this.........

stuff anymore. Enough with McCain. Kerry/McCain would be a disaster. I know I wouldn't vote at all and I suspect that Repukes would line up firmly behind their guy, thus giving the election to bush. If Kerry is this stupid, then he shouldn't be President. I hate seeing these posts. I hate it.

[Walt Starr]

48. Same poll puts a Kerry/Edwards ticket ten points ahead of Bush/Cheney

Fuck putting a fucking rightwing Republican on a DEMOCRATIC TICKET!!!

[dolo amber]

49. Democrat's what?

:shrug:

[mitchum]

51. McCain is a fucking republican

For the millionth time....THIS IS A STUPID IDEA

[truthspeaker]

52. a great ticket --- FOR ME TO POOP ON

Democrats can win just fine by themselves, thanks.
