What say you?
There’s no obvious reason for Kerry to lie about this.
If true, it shows what a total moron Kerry is, choosing Edwards over McCain. With McCain on the ticket, he could’ve won in ‘04. Probably would’ve.
The MSM won’t let this stuff see the light of day. The fix is in for McCain.
"There is no truth to this, whatsoever."
Hopefully he won’t be the nominee when he has to deal with it. I would add that maybe the sheople will wake up if it’s dealt with before then, but I’ve lost hope that it would matter to the idiot voters (and of course the crossovers won’t care).
Kerry asked McCain to be his vice president. That was established in 2003 or 2004. Later, Kerry said McCain should not have disclosed Kerry’s offer if he was going to turn it down.
Why would Kerry lie?
1. He’s a liar.
2. Because it makes McCain look like he would jump ship to be VP.

Reason number 2,004 not to support McCain in 2008.
Because he misses seeing his face on television.
Hopefully, this kills McAmnesty’s campaign. He should be honest and come out of the closet:
“I’m a Democrat and I’m proud of it”
Kerry asked McCain to consider VP spot
David M. Halbfinger, New York Times
Saturday, June 12, 2004
“Kerry, the Massachusetts senator, made his first direct overtures to McCain about three weeks after locking up the Democratic nomination in March, and approached him again, in person or by telephone, as many as seven times, as recently as last week, according to one person who has discussed the issue with both.
“It was always artfully phrased, but he asked him on several occasions to serve as his running mate,” the individual said. “He’d say, ‘I don’t want to formally ask, because I don’t want to be formally rejected, but having said that, would you do it?’ or ‘I need you to do it,’ or ‘I want you to do it.’
“It was always phrased in such a way as to give both men plausible deniability,” the individual added.
“Word of Kerry’s personal entreaties, and McCain’s flat refusal, may bring an end to the persistent and at times fevered speculation among Democrats and others about the potential of a bipartisan ticket.”

There is another read here, McCain asked Kerry if he (McCain) could be his (Kerry’s) Veep rather than the other way round. Either way, it does show the real JMC and how he has no conservatism in his DNA.
Eeeww! God, it stinks in there....
Decency, honor, and true patriotism are seen, by them, as a stupid illusion, on the part of us, stupid dammned Peons! I reckon they must get a few laughs, out of us, they damned sure don't take us seriously.
I have a fine, strapping, smart, decent grandson, he is all Gung ho, he puts his JROTC uniform on, and his spine straightens, his shoulders square up, and you can see the Man he is about to become. I am real particular about who becomes his CIC.
He listens to me, and I may just tell him it is all an illusion!
McPain is a political whore.
Ok- McCain told his supporters last night that he will always tell the TRUTH. That’s the way to solve it- just have a supporter ask him- he’ll tell them the truth!
and just what do all the McCain fans say about this? they want the same guy as skerry?
During a secret mission to Cambodia. At the personal request of President Richard Nixon. He remembers it well.
