Is a Bush endorsement of McCain enough to sway your opinion?

Posted on 12/04/2005 9:19:56 AM PST by cubram

Some on the morning talk shows suggested that McCain is the natural successor to Bush for his committment to the war, and that Bush will "pass the baton" to him.

My question is: if Bush endorses McCain will you think aboout voting for him? Personally I don't care for McCain for a number of reasons, but if I think he will continue W's legacy, I might reconsider.

What do you think?

I have found that hard leftists that I encounter on the job also find McCain to be palatable. This is disturbing to say the least.

I know a very liberal woman that absolutely hates Bush. She is always saying some of the most whacked out stuff about him. She couldn't think of one good thing to say about Bush. And guess what? She likes McCain.

I will never vote for McCain, no matter who endorses him. Like many others here I will either sit the election, just not cast a vote for president or vote for the most conservative 3rd party candidate out there.

Exactly.

We survived the first clinton, we could survive this one too. But if the GOP and the American people are that stupid, you're right -- we deserve her.

We still have a GOP Congress, don't we?

Never mind. We're screwed there too.

Nope. Organized crime already has too much sway in politics.

I don't like McCain at all !
However the RINO label doesn't really apply to McCain in the truest definition of the word. (Conceited "It'sall-about-me" type of jerk however does!) He is far more reliable on conservative issues then Snowe, Collins, Chaffe & Specter. These in my mind are the true RINOs with Specter being the basic definition ! I believe McCain is in the ACU rankings at the mid-to-high 80% on issues near & dear. For example Specter, etc aren't even in the ballpark. As you said McCain is reliable on the War on Terror.

Again all his warts aside if its McCain vs Hillary (or any other Demo-Dummie), then there is no question its McCain & grit my teeth. Its too dangerous a time go off in a huff and take my toys and go home as some GOP'er seem to want to do.
At times I think I could support a Lieberman for President BUT even democrats who "Get it" bring in way too much baggage. A democrat administration will be staffed with moon-bats, 'we-are-the-world' types, tree huggers, terrorist huggers, soicalist/communist rent seekers, unilateral disarmerspro-abortions(probably would push abortion at the toddler level!) and those who would make being a gay a requirement let alone a "lifestyle" !
Do you really think attendance at a CFR meeting (or subscribing to their journal Foreign Relations... by the way a tedious publication!) makes the proposed GOP candidate a bigger threat to US sovereignty then another Demo administration full of the types listed above ?

Not just that, but a few weeks ago Jeb endorsed a proposed bit of Florida legislation that would have mandatory Spanish language instruction for all early elementary students. Think he is going to do any more about the immigration problems? He's not acting like he expects anything except continued, massive immigration from Central and South America.

Personally, I wouldn't vote for McCain, or his obvious brain tumor, in a million years.

McCain has an uphill battle to win the conservative base to his side.

IMO, John has "gravitas" issues. He comes of, at least to me, as less than an inspiring leader. To much waffle; too much fluff.

If he tries to run, we will see a Muskie in the streets of New Hampshire. (For the youngsters, that's a public weeping moment when meanies say ugly things about you or your wifr.)

"I will not vote for McCain in the primary election. However, in the general election it would depend who his opponent would be. LOTE"

IMHO, then you will be voting for WHOEVER is the Rep candidate.

Again, IMHO, once mclame figures out he might not get the 2008 Rep POTUS slot, he will accept Hillary's offer as VP for 2008.

(OK...gotta go bookmark this if I'm right, and make sure my asbestos suit is back from the cleaners after I post this....)

If, if, if. . .

She could do a lot of things or wait for a Republican successor to implement them just like her husband did.

Will you sit by silently and peacefully if she tries to run the country as a dictator using executive orders?

I won't, but neither will I put the likes of a psycho like McCain in office just to stop her.

She couldn't live within the safe confines of the White House forever, nor would she necessarily be safe there if she attempted the things you suggest.

No. I don't care if McCain comes out square dancing with Tony Snow, Ann Coulter and Justice Thomas.

At best he is mentally a bit off. At worse he is a Constitution shredding, backstabbing crook.

Hell, I'm a Republican. Hodling my nose at the voting booth is OLD HAT.

They don't give a damn what you think - you'll vote for them anyway, no matter what or how bad the weasel-of-the-day candidate may be. They can do anything they want to keep their hold on power and your money.

Republicans are like battered wives who don't even consider that they can just leave. America deserves better.

Since I'm hardly entranced with Jorge II's domestic policies, and since only a simpering RINO would support that traitor McCain - NO!!!!
