VP Alert (McCain Camp Now ACTIVELY Calling Leaders on Possibility of Selling Pro-Choice Pick)

National Review ^ | 8-19-08 | Rich Lowry

[Grunthor]

Cantor, Palin, Portman, Hunter. Good Lord I’d even settle for Mitt. At least he SAYS he’s pro-life.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Let me preface my statements here by stating what is probably well known - I've not been a big fan of McCain since 2000 when he melted down after South Carolina's primary.
I've stated repeatedly I don't think McCain has ever “forgiven” conservatives for, in his mind, costing him the nomination in 2000. BHO has given McCain the ultimate opportunity for revenge. Not only has he captured the nominee, but because BHO is such a rabid socialist, McCain can run as far as he wants from conservatives and yet still be secure most will support him because he's a better option than BHO. I think he's enjoying every second of serving this cold dish of revenge (misguided or not) to conservatives. As I stated earlier. I don't think he will wind up with a pro-choice VP; but I think he does get a sense of joy from stoking conservative ire by letting it be rumored that he *could* pick a pro-choice VP.

I see that in your post #117. Good work! Can we get AdMod to add this to the relevant sidebar? Perhaps with an AdMod edit to the title to show it’s an actionable thread?

[MeanWestTexan]

I am waivering on voting for McCain.

If he goes pro-choice, I will actively campaign 3rd party.

No point in bothering with McCain then; Obama won’t get half the crap he wants through — basicaly end up where McCain would be with a pro-choice guy.

Eric Cantor remains my choice.

[nevergore]

Whether Romney or someone else, doesn’t matter as long as they are pro-Life.....

After that, the other qualifications come into play....

[seoul62]

Good choices, Grunthor./Just Asking - seoul62.......

[Sans-Culotte]

Actually Ridge brings PA to the ticket almost certainly.

I've seen posts from other PA freepers that Ridge is not that big a deal to PA voters anymore. If he could swing PA, that's one thing. If he can't, then there's no point in picking him.

[Salvation]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pro-choice pick.

VP needs to be conserverative, very conservative pro-life person!

[DarthVader]

I think this is smoke and mirrors to keep the Obamination off balance.

[MNJohnnie]

Call your State McCain for President office too. Call your state GOP offices too. Tell them Pro Choice VP=Conservatives staying home in Nov.

So far everyone is assuring me this is nonsense. But we need to stay on it until we have an official announcement of who the VP candidate is going to be. The DC “geniuses” will find away to screw this up unless we stay on them

[Grunthor]

Thanks but was that a question or a statement?

[seoul62]

That was a statement. Who will it be?/Just Asking - seoul62.......

[colorado tanker]

Why risk alienating the base for Ridge? He's been out of office so long he has no name recognition outside Pennsylvania.

[VRWCer]

As a practicing Catholic, that is a line I cannot and will not cross. He absolutely has my vote and those of my family, UNLESS he picks a prochoice running mate. I cannot in good conscience vote such a person in to any office, and neither can my family. That’s a whole lot of people he loses just within our clan. Bad, bad idea.

[Glenmerle]

What do these people see in Tom Ridge

I can't figure it out either. The party powers-that-be who want Ridge are the political equivalent of the TV powers-that-be who think it would be great to have Bryant Gumbel host another show on NBC. Just not thinking clearly.

[Mamzelle]

re: I may vote for him - but only because we have an Obama. Seems like a president would want those voting for him to vote for him because of trust, respect, and belief in his abilities. Yet, McCain always likes to kick supporters in the face. Does not build respect, support, faith, and money.)))

Bump your post. He did a great job at the Warren Forum. I'll hand that to him.

Mavericks are not, by definition, leaders.

David Brooks had a good essay on McCain today--all about how he's being forced, reluctantly, to run a conventional campaign.

[HamiltonJay]

He could favor implimenting Sharia Law, or nationalizing health care or the oil industry, rounding up anyone who gets a traffic ticket and having them shot etc etc etc.

Anyone who is foolish enough to say there is no one worse, there is always someone worse.

Richard, you done drank the Kool-aid!
