Who should McCain's running mate be?

Now that we know who the Republican nominee will be, we need to think about his running mate. My ideal vice presidential candidate is Condi Rice. Who is your choice?

He should ask Cheney to stay on for another term.

Sarah Palin. Just because.

Sarah Palin has far too much class to associate with the likes of McCain. He should partner up with Hillary, they traveled the country together and as far as anyone could tell, there's no philosophical differences between them.

Your question falls just short of inane. McCain and McCain alone will make that choice. He has never previously taken advice from conservatives. Why do you expect he might now.

Of overwhelming importance now however is to maintain strength in the Senate to filibuster against whomever is elected president. Please work on that rather than diverting attention from the critical situation that we face.

Condi isn’t interested, last time she spoke on the subject. I heard Kay Bailey Hutchison suggested.
Not bad, but she’s very close to being another
RINO. She’s a female Repub, well-known, and that’s
about IT. How about Michael Steele? I love Alan
Keyes, but he gets nowhere in politics (for some
reason).

If he wants to reach out to Conservatives, he better choose a straight up conservative. I wouldn’t mind having a conservative only a heartbeat (or impeachment) away from the Presidency.

Running mate?

I think Ted Nugent would be good. Then Ted can take John on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney.

Karl Rove is “The Architect” ... finding innovative ways to utilize
conservative raw materials in the construction of liberal policies.

The only problem with that is that there won’t be any
cross-overs, and we need them this year. Agreed? We
need some numbers...left vs right...to see what will
work best.

It is too late for us to come to our senses. We had the brilliants doing their Joe-Isuzu spiel night and day. And they’re still just thrilled to the gills that Romney is gone.

Janice Rogers Brown.

Then It would be great if the Marxist pro-Amnesty McCain has a heart attack so we can have president Janice Brown.

Janice Rogers Brown On American Government
Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible. [“A Whiter Shade of Pale,” Speech to Federalist Society (April 20. 2000)(“Federalist speech” at 8]

Where government advances – and it advances relentlessly – freedom is imperiled; community impoverished; religion marginalized and civilization itself jeopardized....When did government cease to be a necessary evil and become a goody bag to solve our private problems? [“Hyphenasia: the Mercy Killing of the American Dream,” Speech at Claremont-McKenna College (Sept. 16, 1999) at 3,4]

In the last 100 years – and particularly in the last 30 – ...[g]overnment has been transformed from a necessary evil to a nanny – benign, compassionate, and wise. Sometimes transformation is a good thing. Sometimes, though, it heralds not higher ground but rather, to put a different gloss on Pat Moynihan’s memorable phrase, defining democracy down. [“Fifty Ways to Lose Your Freedom,” Speech to Institute of Justice (Aug. 12, 2000)(“IFJ speech”) at 2]

[W]e no longer find slavery abhorrent. We embrace it. We demand more. Big government is not just the opiate of the masses. It is the opiate. The drug of choice for multinational corporations and single moms; for regulated industries and rugged Midwestern farmers and militant senior citizens. [IFJ speech at 3-4]

Government acts as a giant siphon, extracting wealth, creating privilege and power, and redistributing it. [Speech at McGeorge School of Law (Nov. 21, 1997) at 18][See also Landgate, Inc. v. California Coastal Commission, 953 P.2d 1188, 1212 (Cal. 1998)(Brown, J., dissenting)(referring to government as “relentless siphon.”)]

That way trajic accident of Mclaim about 2 months into the presidency would be quickly forgotten... and the borders closed like a cell door in San Quinten.. and the producers of the Political Coup happening NOW could be water boarded.. and rounded up with the media moguls in league with them.. and ugh... dealt with..

He was a senator from Missouri 1935 to 1945.
Also he was a protegee of an extremely corrupt Missouri political machine led by a guy named Pendergrast.
