“Hunter already has endorsed McCain.”

I know, but it was about his last choice. First Hunter endorsed Huckabee.

“It’s amazing they will just roll over and say Well he is the candidate DEAL with it, quit whining.”

And to say this BEFORE McCain even picked a VP is just plain giving up on conservatism ALTOGETHER.

I won’t vote for mccain if he chooses Hunter for VP even tho Hunter is my choice for presidential candidate. I would then question Hunter’s judgment on accepting the offer

I know that McCain craves liberal voters far more than he does conservatives, but I really doubt he would go so far as to pick Edwards' mistress as his VP. Although, we ARE talking about McCain. :)

But it is a dream ticket for OBAMA!

Only if you and other adament prolifers allow it to be by refusing to vote for McCain a longtime committed prolife supporter. I really fail to see the logic in any of this. Not voting for a commited prolifer at the top of the ticket thus allowing a committted babykiller at any cost to become President with a Congress controlled by babykillers at any cost. Yes I indeed fail to see the logic of any of this debate.

If McCain is even thinking of picking a pro-abortion VP (and don’t give me the “personally opposed but...” song and dance), he’s not pro-life and there is really little difference between him and Obama in terms of their programs.

McCain is very liberal on everything, and the only difference in the long run is that Obama is a nut while McCain is just a liberal. I’m not sure that the country could survive a leftwing black-power zealot with a messiah complex and the nutty people he’d bring into power with him (ranging from Al Sharpton to Louie Farrakhan and beyond). Perhaps that will make conservatives vote for McCain.

But the press and Obama’s campaign are trying hard to put a different face on Barry, so many conservatives, looking at Obama and the new, improved, pro-abortion McCain, will see little difference and will probably simply not vote at all. I don’t know why McCain is so determined to throw away the conservative vote.

There's a lot of difference between the two, make no mistake there are a lot of things to not like about McCain but the things to not like abut Obama are a factor of 10 over MCCain's negatives. When Obama gets elected by conservatives being stupid then they will see the differences very clearly and then they will realise their stupidity. However, it will be too late as the game set and match will have been lost to them forever.

This notion that an Obama presidency will usher in a new Reagan is nothing more than a pipedream, and I do not place my future on pipedreams. Besides does another Reagan even exist? I haven't seen him.

Obama and Reagan have absolutely nothing in common. But the fact that Obama is being presented this way proves exactly what I said: that his image is being “massaged” by the press and his campaign to present something entirely different from what he really is. Amazingly enough, even some people who should know better seem to be falling for it.

Given that, even leaving aside any issues of principle or belief, I don’t understand why McCain seems to be throwing away a genuine advantage. Of course, this may all be rumors on the part of the press designed to undermine McCain’s pro-life supporters and make them stay home.

I plan on calling on Monday. Here's a lady who called reporting to Rush on Friday:

RUSH: There's something going on with the McCain campaign here as the selection process dwindles down for the vice presidency, and it looks like McCain advisors are laying the groundwork for either picking a Democrat, Joe Lieberman, or a pro-choice Republican to further McCain's move to the center and the left to pick up disaffected Obama voters; 'cause they're just assuming that those of us in the base will show up and solidify -- in fact, they think that's already happened. But they think we're going to show up and solidify because of our just fear and unacceptable attitudes toward Barack Obama, the Lord Messiah Most Merciful. I think they're misjudging if they think they can put a pro-choice candidate on the ticket. McCain's telling us that he's going to go out and make sure that he picks the right kind of judges for the Supreme Court.

Well, now, one of the definitions that the conservative base has for the right kind of judge on the Supreme Court is not somebody who's going to vote to affirm Roe v. Wade if it ever comes up. So we're going to start doubting all kinds of things. If he's going to go with a pro-choice -- or even a Democrat who is good on the war but has just as liberal a voting record as Chris Dodd does, if he's going to go one of those two routes -- then it's going to be reasonable for us to start doubting what he has said and promised about the right kind of judges on the courts. So the fur is going to fly on this one. The last time it flew was when somebody suggested that McCain might put a Democrat on the ticket. You know, it's one thing for Democrats, for our enemies to say, "Hey, why don't you pick one of us on your ticket." It's another thing for our side to put the spear in our own heart.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

Troubling VP Signals from McCain Campaign
A pro-abortion running mate for the Maverick as a "screw you" to the base?

Couldn’t agree more with your comments. McCain needs to pick a conservative as a running mate. “Do no harm” should be the words that guide him in his selection.

I will not support any currently pro-abortion candidate on any ticket in any capacity.

In the case of those who have converted to a pro-life position, I welcome the conversion. At the same time, it is wise to check if they are lying.

I realize that politicians have no incentive to lie. /sarc.

Otherwise, many will stay home or vote 3rd party.

The time for petulant, childish behavior is between elections and during the Primaries. During General Elections this behavior supports and elects the opposition. That is unless you think obama will make for a better choice.

Like many others I and my family will certainly stay home on election day if McCain chooses a pro-death running mate. The danger that he will do so originates from the narrow circle frequented by Washington insiders. The journalists, lobbyists,country club donors, and congressional staffers that are McCain's world are virtually all pro-abortion. This gives McCain and his advisors the mistaken impression that the pro-life issue is dead. But it is not, as McCain will learn to his sorrow if he picks a Ridge or Lieberman as VP.

“Should Obama become Pres more abortions will occur.”

Vote for “our” pro-abort, we’ll murder fewer babies?

It does have a ring to it!

“This our last stand I believe. The Unborn have no voice and are being systematically murdered. Obama could care less.”

If McCain picks a VP that favors murdering children and makes him the automatic front-runner for 2012, then McCain could care less as well.

If McCain picks a VP that favors murdering babies, he will lose and he will deserve to.
