MY COMMENT:

Even if McCain had Ronald Reagan himself as VP I just can't get excited about him as POTUS.... I think McCain needs to WITHDRAW from the race and allow conservatives to pick a CONSERVATIVE candidate to defeat Obama..

My comment: If you don't care who he picks, why bother to post this thread? Go hang out on another thread and the rest of us will have discussions and pay close attention to whether a solid conservative or a RINO sellout is a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

As for me, I'd feel much more relieved if Sarah Palin is waiting in the wings to step-in at a moment's notice than say, Olympia Snowe.

I am very, very disgusted with McCain.

His immigration policy is Leftist; he nearly changed parties in 2004; he wants to repeal the tax cuts; he swallowed the Al Gore lie of Global Warming.

How did Mitt Romney lose? How did Fred Thompson lose?

Why are people screaming to have their taxes raised by Obama? He gives the masses hope...hope to tax more of your success for their failures.

Who gives a big rat’s butt? Certainly not me. This nation will be going to h*ll in a handbasket for the next 4 years, possibly 8, regardless of who gets in. We survived Bubba’s reign. I suspect we’ll survive whichever idiot that gets the seat.

[ANGGAPO]

We should pick a Conservative to run for President, is that what you said? Well, you do that and it's a sure bet he will not win.

[woollyone]

Zell Miller!

We’d kick @$$!

"..polls and surveys you can fill out to give your opinion on who should be the Republican Vice Presidential nominee."

Sure, why not?

Very "democratic" this.

What the heck, we might as well just call ourselves democrats, too.

And as if John McCain or any other candidate would pay the slightest bit of attention to a poll.

Get real.

Having said all this.. I don’t know what I will do come November... normally I would just “hold my nose” and vote for the “R”... but I just can’t see that happening this time.. I am sick and tired of the LIBERAL wing of the Republican Party telling us conservatives to “hold your nose and vote”

Yeah, I know how you feel. I personally am sick and tired of how the liberal/moderate wing of the Republican Party actually gets out and campaigns and votes in the primaries while my fellow Conservatives remained virtually silent and left people like me in a minority of supporting candidates like Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter. Thus, we were left with John McCain as our candidate.

I figure if 12 million more members of the Conservative Base had gotten active, say, back in December of 2007, we might be telling the liberal wing of the GOP to "hold their noses and vote."

But, like I said, only a minority of us were supporting the candidates with solidly Conservative crendentials. So, here we are.

BTW, I'd like to see Michael Steele as McCain's running mate.

[cripplecreek]

Hope the GOP and their wishy washy middle are happy. Today there are two democrat candidates and the race is tight. Tomorrow there will be one and “our” psychotic idiot will slide into the tail and stay there.

Picking a real conservative would have led to a landslide win for the GOP.

[vpintheak]

I’m not mocking you here, but that is a pie in the sky dream. It’s not going to happen, and logically, honestly what do you think will happen to this Country if all us conservatives stay at home? I am not willing to find out. We are stuck with this RINO until we can try again next time.

[jammer]

Exactly correct, sir!

[Gator113]

I am at the point where it would be fine with me, if McCain stopped by a local zoo and picked out the brightest monkey for his VP...as long as he doesn’t pick that Huckafreak.

[Dick Bachert]

David,
He ain’t perfect — like McCain? (LOL) — but I’ve known Bob Barr for a few years and I believe he’d be a much better candidate.

If Bob Barr is on the ballot in YOUR state (and he will be in some 47 or 48 of them) YOU NOW HAVE A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW YOUR TOTAL DISDAIN FOR THOSE RUNNING THE TWEEDLE DUMB/TWEEDLE DUMBER (Pubbie/Dems) PARTIES (INTO THE GROUND ALONG WITH OUR KIDS’ FUTURES).

You’re thinking “If I vote for Barr, it might let the wrong guy win.” In this election, they’re BOTH the “wrong guy.” For some different reasons but they’re both the wrong guy so WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

Don’t know about you, but THIS grandfather is sick and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and then being surprised that the evils of destruction of American sovereignty, massive unfunded debt and the consequent inflation, presidentially ordered wars, stupid energy — among thousands of other — policies, ballooning bureaucracy, etc., etc., ad nauseum continue without letup.

Unless you just enjoy those increasingly frequent ankle gripping exercises ordered by the Gang of 535 and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, time to PUT UP OR SHUT UP, PEOPLE!!

TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!!!!!!!

[CowboyJay]

If it was Hunter, Tancredo, or Bolton as VP I’d give a hoot. Otherwise, he can pound salt.

[RightWhale]

Do not pick me. If I am accidently selected or elected and somehow by cosmic misadventure become Pres, I have two things to do and then will go to lunch and not return.

[Sun]

I like Governor Bobby Jindal, Sen. John Thune, Governor Palin, J.C. Watts, Michael Steele and Rob Portman for VP, and a few others.

Of course, DUNCAN HUNTER would be my favorite, but I’ve never seen him on any of Senator McCain’s short list(s).

[engrpat]

Not sure but I would like someone who really doesn’t want a future in politics as he or she will be but a footnote in history and the answer to: who was the running mate for McCain when he lost the 2008 election in a landslide?

[Mitt Romney]

Romney as VP unites the party.
