Finally, McCain is asking Republicans to accept a man who, if he wins, would likely be the presumptive presidential nominee sometime in the future.

This would effectively turn the Republicans away from being the pro-life party and would spell electoral disaster for Republicans for years to come. Pro-lifers certainly would have a very hard time voting for a pro-choicer at the top of the national ticket. Look at what happened to Rudy Giuliani in the primaries.

Excellent point!

I pray McCain does not choose Ridge.

[Zeppelin]

no true Catholic is pro-abortion. simple as that.

[raybbr]

Wait, Catholics all across the country elect pro-abortion candidates to the Senate, House and local govts. Why would they change their voting habits for the presidency?

McCain thinks he has us, because we fear the Obamination so much.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

It would prove that he was at the bottom of his class at Annapolis for good reasons. Retard ones.

Low turnout from the base equals President Obama. Higher taxes, weakened national security, the Harvard Law faculty running the Supreme Court...

McCain is using a brilliant strategy by not removing anyone from the list of who he is considering. Since he will have the luxury of naming his VP after Obama he can afford to let the media fantasize to their hearts content. The only thing in the end that matters is his actual choice. You can bet McCain’s choice will be at least somewhat based on Obama’s.

[rjp2005]

He will absolutely lose my vote if he does.

[freekitty]

I think McCain and Co. want to lose. That’s just great. Here we have a man who was not chosen by the people and who is determined to throw us off under and over the bus.

Don’t even get me started about Clinton and Obama.

[BlueDragon]

McCain I do hope, should focus solely on finding who would best serve as President of this nation, should he himself win election, and for some reason, he himself not be able to finish his term.

Now, just who would best serve? That is the first question. All else is secondary.

Only those whom end up in that "best" category, need be weighed one against another, for various attributes. Otherwise, we are putting the cart before the horse.

[Theo]

The “Catholic” part is irrelevant. If he picks a pro-abortion running mate, I will not vote for him. It would be a sign that he’ll pick a pro-abortion supreme court justice.

[vortigern]

I am beginning to think that McCain likes the idea of running for President, not actually becoming President.

[West Texas Chuck]

Man, I just don’t know what to do. If he picks a Dem or some loser Repubekan I will not be there in November. As much as I’d hate to have Obamalamadingdong in there for 4 years, a message must be sent to the RNC.

Pick a Conservative, or die.

[Doc Savage]

Oh really now. If John Robert Dole McCain does that I’m sure he’ll sweep to victory......LOL!

[Fawn]

Not all Republicans or Conservatives consider this a big issue. I don’t see how the author can state this. For me, it’s Fiscal Conservatism that I’m voting for.

[LiberalsSpendYourMoney]

Way to potentially stab a chunk of your base in the eye, Johnny.

[firebrand]

If he picks a pro-abort Catholic he will have no running mate, because there’s no such thing.

Seen here at 24 weeks - six months from conception, the unborn child is covered with a fine, downy hair called lanugo. His tender skin is protected by a waxy substance called vernix. Some of this substance may still be on the child's skin at birth at which time it will be quickly absorbed. The child practices breathing by inhaling amniotic fluid into developing lungs.

You cannot be both Christian and pro-choice on abortion. The two are diametrically opposed—polar opposites. If you think you are both you are living a lie.
