Comments on: McCain May Act Soon On VP Pick

Washington Post: Aides Predict Announcement Before Olympics, Which Are Two Weeks Away

[randynason]

Repugnican McSame is doing photo-ops with sausage and cheese and produce in supermarkets. That''s great! Keep it up, Gramps!
On an aside: Why is Lance Armstrong endorsing McSame? I have totally lost any respect that I might have had for the guy and think Sheryl Crow did the right thing. I mean, you gotta have SOME self-respect.

McCain to announce.....ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

[cfin5]

Been thinking about this pick he will have to make. How I wish it would be RON PAUL. My reasoning is how important it is, like a "check and balance" thing, for someone trusted against the unconstitutional encroachments we here about everyday. I want a Constitutionalist "watchdog" at the top. I won''t be voting for McCain with a lesser, henceforth sorry choice as a running mate. Wish the democrats would have done likewise. Basically so we can debate the traits of the "greater of two goods" instead of the "lesser of two evils".

I''m trying to figure out how such a great generation as the WWII Generation produced such a worthless generation as the Boomers. We went from a classy, hardworking, and honest bunch to a generation of self-indulging, greedy, power-obsessed, and selfish wimps.

Once the boomers get too old to function, which luckily is just around the corner, we can get this country back on track to progress and forward thinking.

McCain, do us all a favor, retire.

[jb20084]

Wake me up when he actually announces a VP.

[suzyku]

Bad policies, more wars,nasty temper, flip flops, take away womens rights, bad for the economy, bad for the environment. NOTHING Good about this candidate. Being a POW doesn''t make it so!

You are very good at harping on one detail at a time, OneAmerican. Too bad the world doesn''t run that way.

While we are subduing Iraq''s internal insurrencies for them, Afganistan is heating up again, and the global network of terrorists has now moved into Pakistan...just like the liberals have warned.

So what do we do now, "democratize" Pakistan next? How about Syria? Or is there less reason to save these countries from terrorists, since they haven''t the vast wealth of oil Iraq does?

And even if the US had the manpower to go into Pakistan and Syria, where then does a global network of terrorists go? Answer: anywhere that gives them a safe haven until occupation forces clear out. Because a terrorist network with cells all over the planet is not going to let themselves get killed in the two countries US troops are in. They have gone elsewhere.

Take the blinders off for once, OneAmerican, and take a glimpse of the state of the world outside your little conservative point of view. In the Bush War on Terror, Iraq is one crumb, but in the Bush War for Oil, Iraq is pure gold, pure black gold.

[noloyalisti]

Of course there is no mainstream media coverage of this but the House is holding impeachment hearings right now! Thank God.

McBush and his pals like McSame have purposefully and willfully broken the laws in the Constitution. Again and again in arrogant fashion. The public needs to find out all about it through impeachment hearings.

[xmanborg]

McCain needs to pick somebody who knows how to change old peoples diapers and cook steamed carrots and cream corn and salisbury steak and butter beans.

If McCain wins dinner is going to suck at the white house everything is going to be over cooked and spungie and Cream Corn and Corn Bread and Over Cooked Carrots will be on the dinner menue every night.

Along with a shot of KAO-Pectate for after dinner snack.

McCain came out this week with a list of 20 possible running mates. He would not reveal the names of all of them, but he said they all share certain traits, like knowing CPR. He said he wants someone who is ready take over on day two.


lol!

[bubbabear200]

I bet McFlimFlam man will pick Condasleeza Rice

[lovegetpeace]

Amazing how nobody in this world cares about McCain pick for VP.

[danstoned]

It does not matter who John McCain picks as VP because there are not enough dumbed down white folk in the USA to elect such an old man like John McLiverspot.

[talkingham]

Great One American, we are surging at least $10-billion a month in Iraq, I think that is way too much on people that will be our enemies as soon as we leave. We will also leave billions in military hardware when we leave after an ill-planned, ill executed strategy in a region that we have completely destabilized for our own "gain?"

So you don''t think we have heard endlessly about the surge in the media, U must have your head stuck up your a. Just how much time, lives and money do we have to spend on these people who hate us, and rightly so.

Idiot.

[lochlan-2009]

We all know it is going to be Romney. He''s payed in full for the seat.

[rudy654-2009]

Take that, liberals!

Interesting. Just yesterday I saw a report that showed that street justice in Iraq is the name of the day. A young man of 16 years was kidnapped and raped repeatedly over a period of time and the parents couldn''t do a thing about it. The law doesn''t work over their, even yet. People are going out and seeking vengeance or imposing their rules of morality on others and the general people are helpless. And still, the sanitary conditions are the worse. Yep, you don''t see much of this information on CBS. But hey, the surge is working! Right?

[oneamerican_]

Here is more news that CBS refuses to tell you:

WASHINGTON %u2014 The surge in Iraq has been a success by any measure, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said during a news conference June 23.

The policy, announced by President Bush in December 2006, pushed additional brigades in to Iraq to provide a security umbrella so the Iraqi military could build and the country%u2019s government could grow.

The surge has allowed Iraq to make improvements from security, political and economic standpoints, Morrell said. The last of the five surge brigade combat teams recently left Iraq.

%u201CBy every metric that we measure violence in Iraq, there has been a dramatic improvement from where things were before the surge,%u201D Morrell said. %u201CI''ll just point to one, and that is [that] in July of last year, we had 79 U.S. [servicemembers killed in action] in Iraq. We have four thus far this month.%u201D

The dramatic security gains have provided room for political and economic successes. %u201CYou name it, it is happening in Iraq,%u201D Morrell said. %u201CDo you want to talk about political gains? We''ve had basically all the major benchmark legislation passed.%u201D

Take that, liberals!

Given the cabal of right-wing, extremist old white men the GOP offered us to choose from during their primaries, I highly doubt they are going to enhance their chances with a VP choice coming from anyone in that pack. And McCain has to find someone who will appeal to the radical elements of his party - a bad choice, since his own age will increase scrutiny on what a VP selection means if that person becomes President - and that is going to be even harder to sell.

McCain would have the best chance with selecting Ron Paul - but the GOP, still controlled by that dying alliance of unpopular neo-cons and wingnut evangelical dominionists, despise the man.

[gunshack1]

You guys are all wrong. I hear he is picking George Herbert Walker Bush, so the two old guys can set around the White House and brag about their war stories.

[parrot2ok]

Ridge, who was first elected to Congress in 1982, at the same time McCain came to Washington, bonded with the Arizona Republican as a fellow Vietnam War veteran. He has been considered as a potential running mate before, providing vetting documents during the 2000 campaign to Richard B. Cheney, who was handling the selection process for then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush.

In the end, it was Cheney who was chosen.


******** And a lot of people felt there wasn''t any warning before the POS Darth was unleashed on this country ..... To JN122736, you should be thanking Pelosi, just imagine if Darth became POTUS for just 1week - we probably wouldn''t even be on these boards right now .... He has no HEART and always shoots first. Cheers!
