McCain is the Republican pick of George Soros. McCain needs to know that conservatives will avoid him like the plague.

Who Songbird ?

A-ha-haaa, yeah right.

McCain will be 72 in 2008.

That's three years older than Reagan was when he ran in 1980.

McCain's only hope is in states that allow anyone to vote in the Republican primaries. Is he not our Hillary?

Gang of 14, disqualifies him forever.

[ruschpa]

Well... say what you want, he did support and campaign for Bush in the '04 election. Bush did all he could to be seen with McCain at election events.
While I definitely don't agree with him on some major issues, I'm more scared of Hillary in the oval office than him.

Arizona Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) is considering a 2008 run for president

I think his chances are good. In Venezuela.

In the primaries mcpain (media) Az will get his ass kicked along with Rudy Who?
The media knows nothing about Republican primary voters, and they actually think we care what they think. It's hilarious but they do.

He won't take the #2 spot as IF he has a choice...LMAO. I won't be voting for him, period. I despise him and his RINO-ism. I've had enough. Will hold out for George Allen or possibly Rick Perry or some strong conservative. I'm sick to death of mcVain.

What a coincidence...I'm considering staying home Nov. 4, 2008. I think it's going to be really, really, really cold that day.

At first, I thought McCain's statement, "I spent all those years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, kept in the dark, fed scraps, why the hell would I want to do that all over again?" was a parody, an 'Onion' quote maybe, too over-the-top to be real, but no. He said it.

Several Vice Presidents have ascended to the Presidency: some good (Truman), some bad (Johnson--either one). It is a position deserving of respect. The Vice President exercises enormous potential power that is sometimes realized. Even then, within the limits of that office, a Vice President can sometimes transcend the boundaries--our current VP, for example, has carved out an influential niche as confidant and adviser possessing enormous clout when major policy decisions are being made. Demeaning that office as inconsequential shows an amazing lack of historical grasp.

The thought of McCain wielding any kind of real power gives me chills. This man has no business anywhere near the White House.

(IN AN OPERATING ROOM BACK IN THE YEAR 2000)

DOCTOR 1: Holy Moly! That thing is right next to his brain!

DOCTOR 2: Yea, it's very close. We will have to remove part of the brain.

DOCTOR 1: Darn! And this guy was a US Senator. Hey, have you noticed how small his brain is?

DOCTOR 2: Hmm, it sure is tiny. Hey, this guy has dog tags on. He was a prisoner in Vietnam. Take a peek and see what they say.

DOCTOR 1: They say "if found please return to Lincoln Savings & Loan". What the heck does that mean?

DOCTOR 2: Well, I got it all out and a big chunk of his brain too. He will probably act a littl weird from this point on. Should we tell him.

DOCTOR 1: Hell no! Did you see those two big metal ball bearings he had when he came in here? He kept rolling them around in his hand and mumbling about "the strawberries in the Senate cloak room". He might throw those at us! Look, even as he is asleep he's rolling those ball bearings around in his hand.

DOCTOR 2: What's that tatoo on his butt say?

DOCTOR 1: It says "Arlen and John". Odd.

DOCTOR 2: OK, we are done. Have some intern come in and sew this guy up. I don't want to be here when he wakes up. And he is starting to wake up!

DOCTOR 1: Me either.

McCain (mumbling): "Oh Hillary, push you finger in back there a little more. Yea, yea....."

[Woodstock]

He would not have my vote.

[Paloma_55]

McCain, the admiral's son got to stay in different quarters than the rest of the guys..

He seems to have a real problem working for his own team.

[Logophile]

Like many others in FR, I have generally taken a dim view of Senator McCain. But recent events have gotten me wonder whether a John McCain presidency would be so different from the George W. Bush presidency.

As I think it over, I am hard-pressed to think of policies over which John McCain and George W. Bush disagree (other than the obvious one of who should have been elected president before). Are there any major issues on which they differ?

[trubluolyguy]

I would love to see a poll that asks, "If McCain was the nominee in '08 against any democrat, would you:


A) Vote for him

B) Vote for the Donk

C) Vote third party

D) You and all of your conservative friends stay home, eat popcorn and watch him go down in flames.


Me? I stay home and watch the Repubs learn a hard lesson. You give us conservatives, you will get our support. You give us milquetoast backstabbing RINO's, you do not get our support.
