McCain turns down V.P.

[The Land of the Free]

It's official. McCain just told Russert that not only will he not be Kerry's V.P, but he is officially campaigning for Bush and will cast his vote for GW.

[eaprez]

1. He Said That

a few weeks ago on "Hardball" with Chris Matthews. Who wants him, anyway?

[glarius]

28. He disagrees with most of Bush's decisions but is supporting him

Of course he is and always has been for the attack on Iraq so he disregards everything else he doesn't agree with. If he had America's best interest's at heart, he would not be able to support Bush...Why would Democrats want someone like that as a V.P. candidate?...The man is duplicitous!...I've never trusted him....He's a phony...

[JoFerret]

2. Was he ever offered it?

Either way it's a relief not to have him considered a choice.

[Renew Deal]

11. He might still want to be VP.

j/k :crazy:

[colonel odis]

3. don't you have to be asked to be vp before turning it down? n/t

[0007]

24. How can `ya turn down something that hasn't been offered?

'Ya got it right colonel odis.

[Bertha Venation]

4. Dude, you can spin with the best of them!

I wasn't even aware that Kerry had decided on a running mate, let alone offered that spot to John McCain. :eyes:

I'm referring to "turns down" -- :wtf: He can't turn down what hasn't -- WOULDN'T -- be offered to him.

6. everyone on here

has been drooling for it to happen. I should have said he refused any potential offer. I apologize

[patricia92243]

17. I admit I'm drooling for Hillary. ANY Republican-forget it!

[Bertha Venation]

18. heh heh . . . can't wait until Padraig18 reads this thread

:toast: mate, no harm, no foul

[JoFerret]

22. Drooling for him to stand up against the sock-puppet

maybe....as a Republican challenge for (relative) decency and values.

[Sterling]

31. Everyone? BULLSHIT.

Everyone knows once a puke always a puke. I wouldn't throw water on McCain if he was on fire.

[The Land of the Free]

34. latest breaking news?

I was watching TV, saw that McCain was turning down even a prospective offer, which I thought people would want to know, considering in the past week I have seen people talking about whether it would be a good pairing.

[bobbyboucher]

37. Speak for yourself

It's always great to see the recent come here and speak for us all. If you took a poll, you'd find that maybe, maybe 15% would consider McCain,consider, the rest would flush his Repube ass along with the rest. Of that 15%, 2/3's are trolls.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

5. I don't believe Kerry ever asked him to be VP in the first place.

[The Night Owl]

7. Hey, McCain, maybe Limbaugh will stop making fun of you now...

... but don't hold your breath.

[librechik]

8. this is just all a cruel joke, revenge from the Right for defending

Kerry last week. More proof that Russert is still with the Dark Forces.

[freetobegay]

9. McCain's an asshole!

I have a hard time believing anyone here actually wanted him as the VP. A leopard never changes his spots in a man like McCain!

[truth2power]

10. If he were to be asked...

(and I can't see that ever happening) I wouldn't vote for either of them. His whoring on MTP this morning convinced me I wouldn't want to see him anywhere near the WH.

[chillwindblowing]

13. how dare Tim Russet

He has never been asked to run with Kerry. He is a Republican and has never been considered. Just another propergander ploy to keep our minds focused on non issues. Keep your eye on the prize. PRESIDENT JOHN KERRY
Are you beginning to feel it?? Iam woo hoo:bounce:

[lettucehavepeace]

15. Here in Montana, the dem candidate for gov

reached across the aisle for a running mate, its not working. While I respect John, I dont think he has a grasp of the issues that have been put into play by this administration.

[AVID]

21. where in MT?

[Wabbajack]

25. How is it not working?

Do they reps lead in the polls?

[Bronco69]

14. A republican by any other name...

I have voted in every election since I was 18 and I have ALWAYS voted for the democrat, but I swear if I thought Kerry was even for a second considering McCain I would sit this one out. The media really needs to put this Kerry/McCain business to rest.

[koopie57]

19. In all actuality

I don't even think the republicans would want mccain as their vice president. You never know which one of this personalities will show up when.

[ultramega]

29. Isn't that the truth.

And considering he is the one leading the fight to outlaw the 527's because of this own McCain-Feingold bill, Kerry would be committing political suicide by choosing as a VP the man who is saying that a huge percentage of his contributions are illegal. And McCain would get skewered for being a hypocrite for running on "illegal" money.

McCain is MPD, he goes from accusing Bush of spending like a drunken sailor one moment to climbing up his behind the next. It's bizarre

This is so insulting to democrats. I'd take Clarke, Edwards, Dean, Kucinich...any of the candidates.

Russert is such a joke.

[teryang]

20. Non-issue, non-story promoted

...by the obscurantist press.

[JoFerret]

23. Why isn't Russert grilling him

on the Iraq fiasco and the 9/11 negligence not distracting everyone with irrelevant sideshows?

[brainshrub]

26. In other news: Water is wet.

:silly:

[retread]

27. "Retread turns down offer of 100 Million dollars."

It's official. Retread just announced he would not be accepting an offer of 100 million tax-free dollars!

[Deja Q]

30. McCain's a repuke, why would Kerry choose him?

This is the same McCain that competed against * in 2000, right?

[Neshanic]

32. The Arizona Repugs now will shut up..for a moment.

He is not universally loved here among the knuckle dragging set.

[onehandle]

33. Here's some more BRAND NEW NEWS!

The world is round.

Ice is cold.

Fire is hot.

Kittens are soft.

Your post is the oldest news ever posted in LBN and left intact by the mods.

[davekriss]

35. You can't turn down what you weren't offered...

That's a misleading headline. The poster should change the headline as it's based on his/her interpretation of what was discussed on MTP and nothing more. McCain was NOT offered the VP! Why would the Democrats offer an extreme Right Wing zealot the VP?! Why not offer Jeb Bush the VP slot!!! Ridiculous!

Moderators: The misleading headline in the originating post should be changed.

[leesa]

36. Did anyone ask the asshole?

Did anyone doubt this creep was a neocon?

[stepnw1f]

38. Exactly

He is a shill, playing the compassionate conservative roole.

[robbedvoter]

39. Dagnabit! Who would have thunk it? McCain? A Republican?

My world is crashing - there's nothing left to believe in! :eyes:
