McCain Considers '08 Presidential Run (Gag-a-maggot Barf Alert)

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

If either Rudy or the McCainiac are the pick, I will sit that one out. I would prefer a true rat, not a rat's rat in pubbie clothing.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

There's one issue on which I think many FReepers would tend to agree with McCain, and that's on spending restraint in Congress and the White House. That being said, I would hold my nose and vote for Rudy before I'd ever vote for One-Note Johnny. Rudy might be a social liberal, but you know where he stands on the issues. McCain holds his finger to the wind and is more interested in the personal aggrandizement of John McCain than in doing what's best for the country.

[JFC]

McCain will NEVER get my vote!

[ruschpa]

No way I can agree with that...
Voting for Hillary is ridiculous. Try and imagine 8 years of Hillary in office and of all the federal judges her administration she'd make. If you dislike Bush's SC picks, imagine Hillary's picks.
McCain, with all his faults, would be far better than her.

[trubluolyguy]

Well.. then I would say sit back and enjoy Hillary for 8 years.

Sorry I am done choosing the candidate that will suck less. I will vote for you if I agree wholeheartedly with you on at least 90% of the issues. The big ones, Illegal Immigration, Abortion and the Military....if you are lukewarm on any of those three, get someone else to vote for you because I won't.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

It goes beyond that. If some terr perp had info on an eminent WMD attack upon America. To extract said info, I would personally pour molten lead onto their exposed privates, and that would only be for openers.

[dgallo51]

Chrissy Mathews must be wetting himself at the prospect.

[caisson71]

I wouldn't vote for McLame if he ran for dog catcher.

[MBB1984]

The way I figure it, McCain is probably at least as conservative as Bush has turned out to be. Not that McCain is a conservative..........

[lormand]

Fair enough

Well let me be the first to say - WELCOME TO FREE REPUBLIC.

Ditto here.

Shadotak, don't be disillusioned or scared off.........blood pressures and conviction run high here, especially about certain issues. Just hang in and continue. We all take heat here at some point or another.

As far as the "troll" accusations, just keep posting and prove them wrong.

(BTW...EVERYBODY was a "newbie" at some point...)

FReegards,

McCain: Guantanamo captives deserve trials. McCain must be an ACLU card carrying nut job. Don't over look the first paragraph...

http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/stories/0605/20mccain.html

"Arguing that "even Adolf Eichmann got a trial," Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday that the Bush administration must establish a system to try and perhaps free suspected terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — even if they turn around and attack the United States."

Least we forget the bill he just brought before Congress where is was passed 90/9.

I could go on all day, instead I will send him an e-mail telling him ELEPHANTS WILL FLY before he gets my vote. Here is his contact info in the event anyone else would like to do the same.

[Fawn]

Who would vote for him?? What type of personality would do such a stupid thing?

[Dan from Michigan]

Not a chance in hell I would vote for him.

1. Crooked - Keating 5
2. Gun grabber
3. Media whore
4. Big government activist - baseball steroids, UFC,
5. Campaign Finance free speech ban
6. Media whore
7. Doesn't have the temperment for the job
8. Media Whore
9. Gang of 14
10. Gun grabber.

[Dan from Michigan]

Hillary sucks less than McCain. I'd never vote for either of them, but Hillary would have stronger opposition in congress because the GOP hates her personally.

With McCain, he'd get his crappy agenda through.

[robomurph]

With Soros' $ & media backing, McCain will be able to "straight talk" his way through Iowa and New Hampshire. At that point he has the momentum and would be hard to stop.
