The Case For a Single McCain Term

Wow, your optimistic. Dukakis won 10 states.

I'm thinking McCain wins Arizona and box of depends.

[rolling_stone]

I’m surprised that McCain’s doctor hasn’t told him (or maybe he did) that he is in no physical shape to be President. It’s not just age. He looks very unhealthy

I think you are right, why hasn’t he been asked about this? One foot in the grave and already lost his mind.

[Doc Savage]

Come on. Just take one look at this guy and you know he couldn't run ten feet without collapsing with a coronary! Hell, he'll probably kick off at the inauguration ball!

[tdewey10]

Yes McCain isn’t my first choice but anyone who thinks there is no difference between him and Obama/Hilary will be sorely disillusioned in Fall if one of the Dems becomes President.

There are up to four USSC Justices retiring in the next four years. Who would you rather have picking them: McCain or Obama/Hilary?

[Solitar]

Well, what are you doing to try to keep one of them from becoming president?

1) I'm trying to convince others to vote Republican.
2) I'm trying to convince Republicans to VOTE for McCain rather than let Obama or Clinton win by default.
3) I'll be voting for McCain.

So what are YOU doing to try to keep Clinton or Obama from becoming president?

[Solitar]

I apologize for responding to you when you were asking Digital Sniper that question. I was just getting too worked up at the prospect of some Republicans throwing the election to the Democrats.

[izzatzo]

When I was still in Texas, I voted for KBH, too. You are correct though. It’s time a real Conservative replaced her.

[PA-RIVER]

Be on the look out for an old man with dementia, goes by nickname “Maverick”. Thinks he will be president after pissing in the face of his republican base.

Call authorities and do not directly confront him. He is considered to have a dangerously hot temper, and may assault with a tirade of verbal abuse with little or no provocation.

Grandfather died at 61. Father at 71.

McCain's mother is 95 and still viable. At 88, she was driving across Europe in a BMW...approximately 7200 miles in one 3-month trip.

Don't count a second term out for John McCain.

[null and void]

God help this country if McCain, Hillary or Obama become president

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

So you're going to reward the leftmost wing of the Democrats by letting Clinton or Obama get elected?

When does the insanity end though? How many times do conservatives have to keep holding their noses?

When 2016 rolls around and Chelsea Clinton runs for President, you guys will be still scolding conservatives for not voting for P. Bush.

It doesn't matter if conservatives do rally for McCain anyway. McCain is going to get annihilated this election. All the numbers and fundraising are in the Democrat's favor. Conservatives are simply outnumbered.

[null and void]

Even better, if John McCain resigns after two years and one day in office, his Vice President could succeed him and be re-elected twice. Did that just raise the stakes for the VP nomination?

Naaahhhh, you want high stakes?

I'll give ya high stakes:

As I've been saying for a few years, I'm worried about VICE President Clinton.
Think of it:

• Two years and one day into her term the first slotter gets arkincided
• Under Article XXII, she can still run for two full terms as the incumbent
• The Glorious Hillary!™ Decade begins
• Hillary uses the Patriot Act to it's fullest extent, and beyond
• At the end of the Glorious Hillary!™ Decade there is a National Emergency "temporarily" delaying the elections
• Under the pressure of the National Emergency, the 2nd and 22nd amendments are repealed
• By the time the National Emergency is over all the 'improved' source code for the touch screen electronic balloting will be in place......

Just as an aside, with the Clinton's well known love of 'ethnics', Obama is very expendable, isn't he?

[Digital Sniper]

Hey, if you want to vote for a candidate who takes cash (and talking points) from George Soros, knock yourself out. Just don’t expect anyone else to join you in your suicide pact.

[null and void]

Let's hope it's someone we like.

If he selected a stellar VP, and I thought he'd leave office early, he might get my vote.

Otherwise it's very easy to write in 'None of the above" on our Diebold machines, you don't even need to ask for a pencil...

[Hiddigeigei]

It may not be a Repub. on a white horse in 4 or 8 years ... it could be a million or so armed Americans who have had enough.

Dream on! Dream on!
If your incredible scenario should actually take place, we’d end up with a man on a white horse and a fascist system anyway.

[ScratInTheHat]

Grandfather died at 61. Father at 71. McCain's mother is 95 and still viable. At 88, she was driving across Europe in a BMW...approximately 7200 miles in one 3-month trip.

Yeah and his mother didn't spend years in the Hanoi Hilton. I think it's safe to say that that has taken a few years off his life.

[imintrouble]

I can’t believe all of you - last week people were not going to vote at all.

Now they think McCain will be dying soon?

I’m wondering if I have joined a group of Conservatives of a group of whining Cranks.

[ScratInTheHat]

Dream on! Dream on! If your incredible scenario should actually take place, we’d end up with a man on a white horse and a fascist system anyway.

No, you're thinking if a million armed Mexicans take over. The Americans will just reset the republic. The shi~t is going to hit the fan in this country one way or another unless something changes real soon.

The next Oil war or the collapse of the dollar are just a few of the things that can happen. Even if none of that does the 59 trillian dollar train wreak will happen and the country is going to go bankrupt.

[Bitsy]

The greatest case for a single term for John McCain will be his first term.

I agree, but I am going to vote for him if I have to. It is one thing to have to hold my nose and vote McCain, it’s another to watch a leftist liberal have full reins of the USA for 4 years. Look at what happen in Louisiana. Four years of an idiot and then we elected Bobby Jindal. I’m just afraid we couldn't’t survive Hillary or Obama!

[Cacique]

How about a case for a no McCain term?
