Um no. If McCain is smart he would put Mitt on the ticket. The guy actually knows something about economics.
Fred could act...but we have seen his routine.

Yes, Fred has let us down by endorsing his old buddy. I don’t really believe he wants to be VP. His life is good as it is. Why screw it up. Fred did not need us, we needed him. The only good thing that can happen now is, maybe Fred will be able to talk some conservative sense into the old man. However: Mccain is 70+, he is set in his ways. Where does that leave us?

Unless someone “poses” as me and actually pulls the lever in my name, no one will be choosing for me. Your scare tactics DO NOT work.

Funny how the MSM has not jumped on this endorsement. Not even Fox is reporting on it.

not scare tactics, just the truth.

if you do not use your vote, the votes of others decide the election....just a true statement

now if that scares you maybe you need to rethink your own position.

Ooooo, yes, scary, I’m very frightened. I will NOT vote RAT.

“the votes of others decide the election”....if people choose to vote for a devious backstabber who has nothing but contempt for them that is their choice. It is MY choice not to.

I hope they’re gonna be happy with what they get. To borrow an old saying, ‘they made their bed, now they gotta lay in it.’

Jeff, let me ask you a serious question.

I was an early and active supporter of He Who Must Not Be Named Around Here. I grew up in New York, lived there in the worst of times, and was always going to be for the guy who fixed it.

No matter - he wasn't up to it, and fell of his own weight. Too bad.

But during the purges, and afterwards, it seemed that the BIG ISSUE, the deal-breaker for FReepers, was abortion.

That's reasonable - my guy was deeply confused and unable to lead on that issue.

My question is, why doesn't McCain's consistent pro-life talk and walk buy him an ounce of cred around here? If the issue is big enough to sink a candidate, why isn't it big enough to catch McCain a break?
