If John McCain picks Mitt Romney as his vice presidential nominee, will it make you more likely or less likely to vote for McCain?
1. More likely
2. Less likely
3. Neither more nor less likely (Elaborate)
4. Unsure
Ok, a lot have “taken the bait”. I’m curious now as to your answer now that the waters have been tested.
I don’t think McVain would even ask him. Remember, NO OTHER REPUBLICAN upstages Juan McNasty! And him and Mitt did not get along well during the primaries.
It’s also a sure thing that Ol’ Johnie won’t pick a VP who is more popular among Conservatives than he is.
So, I vote no, not a chance I’ll vote for Mc Amnesty Cap-N-Trade.
I can not vote for a McCain/Romney ticket.
McCain supports amnesty. Romney supports nationalizing another 19% of the nation’s economy, i.e. the “both private and non-publicly funded” healthcare sector, AND together they support “free” health services for illegal aliens.
Romney’s vision of nationalized health care is the largest socialization of the US economy since the WPA and other projects during the depression, it’s even larger than the Johnson’s New Deal.
The most serious problem is the probable combination of McCain’s health insurance portability act and Romney’s socialized health care program. Putting those two together will see the percent of Americans covered by private health insurance drastically decrease and the wage scales of middle class Americans plummet in most of the country, but in right to work states especially.
The effects will be absolutely destructive to the vast majority of hard working families in this country, and the benefits will disproportionately accrue to illegal immigrants, the welfare bureaucracy and welfare recipients, and large corporate donors to the Republican party who no longer have to provide health insurance benefits to employees.
Once the overruns in costs come in, it’s very likely the Republican party could forever lose the AARP voting block due to forced benefit reductions accross the board for retirees to pay for the massive costs of RomneyCareUSA.
Less likely, if that’s possible. No mealy-mouthed liberals, thanks.
In fact, the only way I WOULD vote for McCain is if he chooses a smashmouth conservative running mate. Then, at least I can hope that McCain’s term is only four years at the most.
Oh, I don't know, something profound - how about a conservative on the ticket?
“I don’t think McCain would even ask him.”
That’s not the point. And I can promise you there is a very good chance he will ask him. Would that make you more likely to vote for that ticket is the point?
I have probably given my answer more than a hundred times. It's a matter of record.
Furthermore, I could look at many of the screen names without reading replies and tell you how some posters "voted"
Option #3.
I too will vote my nose and vote for McShame as much as I hate the thought of doing it. If he chooses Romney, it will just make my nose that much more swollen from pinching it harder.
Like Tom Coburn?
#3............
Willard makes absolutely no difference in my decision to vote for McCain in an effort to insure that Obama or whomever the democratic party nominates doesn’t become the POTUS.
Sorry, all the VP’s on Earth could not make me want to vote for the destruction of the Conservative movement. McCain’s own children say their dad has a new direction to take the GOP.
And that he will. Without many of us.
In short, no way.
Enlighten us. Not everyone follows your posts as closely as you do. ;-)
Less likely. We already have one RINO on the ticket. We don’t need two.
First why do you take the words of children as speaking for a candidate who clearly stated that no one speaks for him but John McCain? Second I’d say the GOP needs a new direction after the present course of fiscal mismanagement we’ve been through since 2001.
