That's OK, John. After your "Campaign Finance Reform Act" and your attempts to eliminate gun shows, true conservatives already have.

Presumed presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is playing it coy when it comes to nailing down his intentions for a 2008 run.
"I certainly haven't ruled it out," was about as far as the GOP maverick would go in an interview with the Detroit News on Monday.
McCain was in Michigan for a fund-raiser for Republican House member Pete Hoekstra and state Attorney General Mike Cox.
Asked about a line in his 2002 memoir "Worth the Fighting For" - where McCain said of his presidential ambitions, "My time may be passing" - the Arizona Republican told columnist George Weeks:
"What I was trying to say is that I want to wait two years to make a decision on that. I'd like to concentrate on trying to be a good senator for a couple of years before I would have to wrestle with that decision."
Others traveling with McCain were less conflicted.
"I'm going to urge him to run," Republican National Committeeman Chuck Yob told the News. Yob cited polls showing McCain defeating Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Kerry and John Edwards in prospective 2008 matchups.
For his part Hoekstra says that McCain is "in the top tier" of possible 2008 candidates, but adds, "It's too early for anybody to even think about it."
Dear God no RINOs.
McCain: I Haven't Ruled Out 2008
WE HAVE
WE HAVE!
I will help rule him out. Never McCain.
Listen up RINO boy, it's already been ruled out for you.</p>
Got news for McCain: I have not voted for him in the past and will not be voting for him in the future.
That's OK, John. After your "Campaign Finance Reform Act" and your attempts to eliminate gun shows, true conservatives already have.
I assume the title means he hasn't ruled out running in 2008. Only God can rule out 2008 completely.
WOW! WE HAD THE SAME RESPONSE YOU BEAT ME BY A COUPLE SECONDS!
:D
This is news? I figured he would play it coy if for no other reason than to keep his face on TV for the next 3 years.
That's OK Johnny, we republicans have already ruled it out for you.
Just say NO!
Won't get past the primaries, just like before. IMHO
I Haven't Ruled Out 2008."

Oh and let us not forget our stance on illegal immigration John.
McStain,,,are you listening? no way, Hell no, your a jerk, you suck, I would rather vote for a horses-asss that a two legged one like you...
We would like you to also.
For a change.....
With McCain, it's not just that he's not a conservative, or is a RINO, it's that he is self-absorbed, egotistic and untrustworthy. He has tried and is still trying to muzzle political speech, whined ceaselessly about not enought troops in Iraq, grandstands shamelessly, etc. He is not personally fit to be president of the United States.
