Is this really possible? I'm not a supporter of Kerry but I would vote for McCain (I have twice). What would this do to the Republicans and the Democrats? Would it completely de-legitimize the ticket? Would it be just what the country needs? Am I just full of...I almost forgot about getting my mouth washed out...

BTW - I think that both Bush and Kerry are decent people who just have different views on some issues. So no posts saying that Bush is a Nazi and Kerry is a Communist, etc, etc, etc…

Actually, it is a mis-quote because it was taken out of context to change the meaning. A direct quote would’ve included the entire sentence. But really I don't care about that. Do you have any comments on this topic? I'm interested in hearing your or anyone else’s opinions.

P.S. I did break my own rule by slamming you and yes it was funny.

It would make sense to me.

McCain IS a democrat! His voting record is more in line with Daschle than with 99% of his "republican" mates!

One thing McCain does do is stick to his guns. If he were to change his mind and decide to run with Kerry it would be the 1st time that I can remember that he went across what he has already stated. He's already told Kerry "No" once.

it will never happen. The dems are still trying to find a good running mate that will help Kerry lose so Hilary can go for '08

I don’t really think that McCain is a democrat. I just think that 99% of the Republican (and Democratic Party) bow down to their constitutes to appease them and McCain doesn’t (at least not as much). Some would say that this is what good politicians should do (e.g. listen to the people that they represent) and I partially agree with this. However, it is not the majority that the politicians generally listen to; it is the people with the dollars. Whether it is big business or unions or PACS. Plus the majority can be fickle (even more than the candidates).

I do think that you make an interesting point about McCain sticking to his guns (it is one of the main reasons that I like him). In reality I think that McCain wouldn’t take the job if offered; so it won’t be offered. I think that Kerry’s running mate will probably end up being Edwards.

I think it should be Kerry and Larry Flynt. That way if elected it sure would be entertaining!!

Kerry and the nut Soros (spelling?) would make a great ticket for the Democrats!

I wish this forum had a way to edit posts. Obviously, my typing and spelling could use some work. Oh well, I'm sure my point is long lost.

I was responding to your statement: "Actually, it is a mis-quote because it was taken out of context to change the meaning..."

I didn't just repeat what Robby posted, I used the correct punctuation to make it a grammatically correct direct quote. My error, of course, was assuming you would be intellectually advanced enough to see the humor without my having to explain it.

rd2thbn I understood what you meant. I just didn't think that it was funny. Kind of beating the horse, if you know what I mean? ;-}

Well,
I really don't see why McCain doesn't leave the republican party. He was one of the reasons, I was once proud of being republican. Fiscally conservative, without catering to corporate greed. Straght talker, never minced words, or got caught up, in political doublespeak. IMHO, this administration, could learn a thing or two from McCain.
I read today, that because he is vocally fiscally conservative, as opposed to the administration, he is being ostracised, by his own party. I wish he would declare himself, a Libertarian, and help my party out. He Talks like one, votes like one, and I'm still trying to figure out why he isn't one.
I would vote for a Kerry/McCain ticket, and hope that something happened to Kerry. I will never vote for another form of plant life, like the one in the WhiteHouse, they need too much fertilizer.
Later

about the ONLY thing that would get me to vote for kerry is if mccain was running as veep, and only then because i'd love to see mccain as pres some day.

ah, i can dream anyway.

i'd vote for mccain in a heartbeat, no matter what party label he pinned on his lapel. i'm just flat-out impressed with the man.

alas, i don't think that mccain will go for it.

I think that McCain could never be elected as president (even though I keep writing him in when I vote - as I did Tuesday in KY).

I think that people want a candidate that is a talking head and not a thinking head. They want the candidates to tell them what they want to hear and not what they need to hear.

Personally, I don't see how any of the candidates can subscribe to their party's platforms and have a straight conscious.
