John McCain for VP?

[TakebackAmerica]

I still think he's the best VP candidate. I love Clark, but having a GOP'er would bring crossover votes. It would send a message to those swing voters, even members of W's party are jumping ship.
Also, McCain and Kerry are friends.

John McCain is a leader in the fight against Global Warming.

1. Hell NO!

[dae]

19. What goclark said but LOUDER!

[Bertha Venation]

2. not this again

Good luck, TBA.

[Sparkly]

3. No no no

and no.

McCain is a Republican. Won't work.

[LittleApple81]

4. PLEASE NO MORE NO MORE NO MORE. Don't you realize this

guy prefers RW mongering to his conscience? Did you watch him on This Week yesterday? HE IS A REPUG ABOVE ALL OTHER DECENCY considerations. We don't need him or his group.

[TakebackAmerica]

6. All right.

I'll stop promoting McCain

[BlueEyedSon]

5. You must be new around here

Someone brings this up once per day.

McCain is a Republican.
McCain is a Bush supporter

What don't you understand?

[TakebackAmerica]

9. But Jeffords was a Republican under Reagan?

Does that make him a bad Independent now?
He sang with ASScroft and Trent Lott.

[BlueEyedSon]

11. Lets talk after McCain becomes a democrat

you did not address his support for Bush.

[TakebackAmerica]

13. You're right.

Well at least he's good on Global Warming.

[BlueEyedSon]

20. thats ONE issue!

[apnu]

7. gee won't that be fun...

... a pro-choice president with an anti-choice veep. That alone would doom such a union.

Drop this subject, its as wacky as Bill Clinton being veep. Please stop.

[daveskilt]

8. slowly bang your head against the wall for a while

1. mccain wont do it
2. we dont want him
3. we dont need him
4. He is opposed to most of the things people voting for kerry (or just for not bush) care about.
5. HE'S A REPUBLICAN and he is campaigning for bush.

now go back to banging your head against a wall.

[TakebackAmerica]

10. This is my last McCain post.

Period

[buff2]

15. Good

Phuck McCain.....and all the rest of the bu$h nazis.

[atreides1]

16. Glad to Hear It

Why would you want a man who sings the praises of a man and a political party that attacked his family. If we can't count on McCain to defend his own family from attacks, then I sure in hell won't trust him to defend my family.



McCain may have been a hero as a POW, but now he's as spineless as a jellyfish, no offense to any jellyfish that may be lurking out there.

[bowens43]

27. Glad to hear it!!!

[buff2]

12. If we wanted a repuke.......

we would vote for Bu$h. I can't believe anyone,especially a liberal would even dream of such an idea. It's crazy. McCain is a REPUKE and a BU$H SUPPORTER. Why do people keep pushing McCain,of all people? Do you really think he is better than a DEMOCRAT? Khrist......I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. :eyes:

[WI_DEM]

14. cross over voters?

maybe a few conservative independents but would it be worth losing pro-choice democrats since McCain is such a strong pro-lifer? would it be worth losing environmentalists because of McCain's overall record? would it be worth losing liberals and progressives by supporting someone who strongly supports the war on Iraq? would it be worth losing democrats who will not vote for a Republican? one who if Kerry is somehow incapacitated would appoint conservatives to the Supreme Court? It would also cause the GOP to say, "they obviously don't think they have enough talent in the Democratic party that they have to select a Republican."

[readmylips]

17. When I see these headlines; McCain for VP....

you guys make me throw up. You are telling the world that the democrats don't have anyone worthy of being vice president, so we need to borrow a guy from the republicans. I'm sure the republicans love to read your support for their party. All of us democrats, might as well vote for that criminal bush.

You pizzzed me off.

[derby378]

18. It's not that McCain isn't an enticing idea...

...but McCain is still pledging his support for * despite his increased criticism of the current administration. McCain's a vet, he survived the Hanoi Hilton, and I respect him for some of his initiatives on the Hill - but Kerry's VP? Not bloody likely.

I've been hearing three names: John Edwards, Wesley Clark, and Gov. Bill Richardson (Dem-NM).

[goclark]

21. No McCain No Gephardt

[ibegurpard]

22. You better get your butt out looking for someone to replace my vote then

No way would I vote for a Republican who has been actively propping up these criminals.

[caledesi]

23. It's a slam dunk for us. I like McCain. Flame away; nt

[bowens43]

26. If we want to elect a repug we should stick with bush and cheney......

a known evil is preferable to an unknown evil.

[daveskilt]

38. its a republicans wet dream - which republican to vote for?

it may well get bush out - but watch the lowest voter turnout ever as only repubs vote and ralph nader would get a lot more votes.

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. HELL NO!

Why in the HELL would we want a damn repuke as our VP??? NO! I don't care how "moderate" he is, he STILL supports the shrub and is a repuke. Hell no! Just last week he was lecturing Frank Lautenburg for calling the Chickenhawks Chickenhawks. Geez! No repuke when we have FINE LOYAL LIBERAL DEMOCRATS!

[bowens43]

25. You're not serious are you?

We don't need no stinken' repugs. We don't need no stinken crossover votes.

[mitchum]

28. NO! NO! NO!

Why do some of you persist in this folly?

[rogerashton]

29. I'm all for McCain for VP

John McCain would make a great candidate on a "Real Republican" third party ticket headed by Olympia Snow. Not likely to happen, of course.

But if you want a McCain who is a demsoc for VP, I'm available. (Very distant cousin -- not sure how distant, actually).

[Claire Beth]

30. Ain't gonna happen! n/t

[Adelante]

31. OMG Stop Stop Stop

The man is running the Bush campaign in Arizona, for Christ's sake. This is the stupidest idea ever to come out of this election year. :grr:

[AntiCoup2K4]

32. Let's put it this way...

I'll take him over Gephardt or Evan Bayh any day of the week. But that doesn't mean it's going to happen.

[beyurslf]

33. Gag Wretch Puke. Can we please look for Democrat to be on

our DEMOCRATIC ticket?

[Rowdyboy]

34. Gag! When will you freaks return to where you belong

No to McCain, No to Hagel, No to any and all fucking potential Republican runningmates.

NONONNONONONONONONONONONONONONOONONONOONONONOONONONONOONONO

nO

[AntiCoup2K4]

42. Well, Hagel would have at least one advantage.....

How many states use his voting machines? ;)

[webkev]

35. Please NO!

kerry is conservative enough for me

we need a true dem for VP
Clark, Cleland, Edwards - or perhaps a girl VP

[daveskilt]

40. a "girl", eh? interesting choice of words....

[goobergunch]

36. I will not endorse ANY Republicans this year, for ANY office.

This includes Vice President, so Kerry WILL lose my endorsement if he picks a Repub.

[FrenchieCat]

37. We don't need McCain....

We've got Wes Clark. Hell he was called a Republican throughout the goddamn primaries......now, all of a sudden, he's not Republican enough for you?

I hate this!

A 4 star General Allied Supreme Commander of NATO who wrote peace treaties, fought a war and won without a single U.S. Soldier casualty IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH?

Not only that but he saved 1.4 Albanian MUSLIMS (we need help with that relationship right now)......

He's from the South.

HELL BELLS....I just don't get someone with a Dennis Kucinich Avatar talking about putting a Republican on the ticket. A Hawk at that!

This is just so stoopid, I probably should not have responded!

[daveskilt]

41. excellent points all.

mccain on the ticket from a kucinich guy is odd - may have been a brain fart freeper moment.

[Exgeneral]

39. How bad is it when a REPUBLICAN VP sounds like a good idea

what is happening to the party? Holy scknikees. This is insane.

[Pepperbelly]

43. NO F*CKING WAY!!!!

He is a Bush pod person.

Screw him.
