John McCain says a pro-gay running mate is not acceptable
''I think it's a fundamental tenet of our party to be pro-life but that does not mean we exclude people from our party that are pro-choice. We just have a--albeit strong--but just it's a disagreement. And I think Ridge is a great example of that. Far moreso than Bloomberg, because Bloomberg is pro-gay rights, pro, you know, a number of other issues.''

Presidential candidate Senator John McCain stating that he'd prefer a candidate for Vice President who's pro-choice for abortion, Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania, above Michael Bloomberg of NYC, who supports equal rights for gay people

2. I guess that eliminates Lindsey Graham from his list.
Oh, you said PRO-gay running mate, not..... Ah nevermind.

Seriously, a Republican insisting on a homophobic VP. That's going to shock absolutely nobody.

7. I am not gay and do not understand people's problem on accepting gays. When people are going to
grow up. It is about time to learn to accept others and their views as is.

13. Maybe McCain doesn't know about Lindsay Graham's "pro-gay" problem
They sure go on a lot of trips together though...
