Puke veep noms are rejecting McCain

[saltpoint]

behind the scenes, goes one account.

I'm willing to believe it.

So free of charge, I'm offering this name to Senator McCain for his vice presidential nominee:

Franklin Graham.

[Muttocracy]

1. any of them who might want to run in 2012 or 2016

will stay away from McCain, won't they?

[saltpoint]

4. Most would, if they had a brain at all. He's a GOP Ahab, and he's heading

right into the whale's domain.

It ain't going to be real pretty down-ballot for a lot of Republicans in the 111th Congress either.

So I'm offering McCain Franklin Graham as his veep nom.

2. seconded, can we get a 3rd?

:hi:

[saltpoint]

5. Hey there. Good to see ya.

:hi:

3. There's a good chance David Vitter will accept the job...

McSame thinks he'd be a good "candidate of Change"..

[saltpoint]

7. Dave Vitter. Now there's a pick for McCain's ticket.

Donuts and diapers.

[Pirate Smile]

6. According to who?

[saltpoint]

8. Just me. McCain needs a veep. Another post tonight on DU

reports that behind the scenes several of the veep potentials are telling him 'no' so I'm suggesting Franklin Graham free of charge to McCain.

[snowbear]

15. According to the human population?

...... just a guess.

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. Old Crusoe and I will accept the nomination for a price

We will do "everything' to "help" the republicans 'elect' the next president
of the US


Barack Obama.

[saltpoint]

10. There it is!

Hey all you lurking freepers! Listen up!

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. That's the ticket!!! McCain/Old Crusoe/IChingcarpenter in 2008

We could rule like Cheney and Rumsfeld.

[saltpoint]

12. I'm drawing up torture recommendations and t-ball court blueprints

as we speak!

[Ichingcarpenter]

13. Fuck that..... I'm invading the Bunny Ranch

They have weapons of Mass destruction I heard

[saltpoint]

14. - - - - !

16. Franklin Graham would be a startling, headline-commanding choice

for McCain.

I personally think Franklin Graham is unstable and arguably dangerous, but from McCain's standpoint, FG might be just the uh, ticket.

There's the famous "legendary" Billy Graham -- easily one of the most visible religious entities in U.S. history.

There'd be the extensive connections in North Carolina and other states.

There'd be the "outside-the-box" pretense of choosing a minister.

It would stir the sour blood of a lot of fundies who might otherwise have stayed home.

It would activate some serious donor bases.

It would serve to pander in a huge way to the nutbags who comprise the faith in the GOP faith-based demographic.

It would help McCain pretend that he is once more The Maverick by choosing an unothodox pick for his veep nom.

17. Rod Parsley..........

with apologies to Charles Grassley.

18. Rev. Moon

[saltpoint]

19. Rev. Moon. My god, whatever happened to him that made him think

people would turn in a mass movement toward his propaganda?

I guess he has some adherents, but that mass movement just never materialized.

I think he was last seen as a guest on HOLLY SQUARES, wasn't he?

[mwb970]

20. What about Jesse Helms?

He'd at least make mcCain look alive.

[saltpoint]

21. It's true. It's hard for me to imagine why the fundies don't like McCain,

considering how conservative McCain's voting record really is, but Jesse Helms, a dead guy, could make McCain look vibrant.
