Word has it inside the Beltway that John McCain had considered running as a Independant Presidental Candidate against George W. Bush Jr. (43), if Bush did not immediately launch a war against Syria and Iran, under the WOT. This type of 'flight foreward' blackmail should not be allowed by this liberal loving agent who has his own personal intrests in mind, not the presidents. Get the word out to everyone that McCain is a traitor as far as we're concerned, and his policies will be liable to make foolish mistakes.
Not that I doubt you at all, just wondering if you have any links to look at? I think McCain is a serious liability.
ZOT! Nice to see that you have been here about 3 minutes...
Uh Oh, the skys are clouding and there is static in the air...
I doubt if mc cain would resort to black mail.
Nevertheless, iran, pakistan, and saudi arabia are serious threats that should be addressed.
They account for all of the terror and all of islamic WMD's
A word inside the Beltway means nothing to me. Zero, zip, nada, rien.
...backing up, dropping my lightning rod...
Syria is a small fry, israel could handle syria on its own.
we do need to worry about iran, pakistan and saudi arabia though.
we should encourage india to take out pakistan, While we take out iran. saudi arabia should be similarly addressed.
India, russia and many others would be more than willing to provide troops for the role.
What a waste of a good (if misspelled) FReeper name.
Oh bull. Would McCain run to the left or right of Bush? Considering that Kerry wanted McCain as his Vice President, McCain is left of Bush. Which would mean McCain would steal votes from Kerry. Can McCain carry any state but Arizona? Didn't they try and recall him not too long ago?
I am not really interested in rumors or innuendo.
Another one bites the dust!

Man, there are a lot of trolls tonight. Did we get posted as the "Awful link of the day" or something?
The Rats are upset about the Swift Boat Veterans ad. I had 2 newbies ZOT on those threads before I could even respond to their comments to me.
Lemmings over the cliff. I don't think even John Kerry his-self could perform CPR on all those rodents.
Please. I can't buy that. No way does George W Bush launch a war just to keep McCan't from running as an independent.
Dang... missed the troll once more. Missed it by --><-- that much.
In truth... the dirty little secret is that Bush is probably the best anti-war candidate to vote for. After getting beat up so much on Iraq, even as a lame duck he'd be very, very slow to go to war... and better yet... if he's re-elected he probably won't need to.
Kerry, on the other hand, if elected would probably have to prove himself somewhere on the planet by going to war.
Funny how life is, sometimes.
Dang - I always miss the fun!!!!!!!!!!!
