When McCain wanted Liarman he was told he’d have a fight on his hands if he nominated him. The convention should not approve any liberal democrat scum running mate.
Lincoln chose Andrew Johnson in 1864, Lincoln was killed and Johnson became President, he was a not a good one.
I would have a lot of trouble voting for a piece of garbage like Jim Webb, Tulsi Gabbard, or Bernie Sanders (yes, one person on this thread mentioned Sanders? A joke? How am I supposed to tell anymore?). Such a selection would be a middle finger to us all.
I doubt VERY much such a selection would be made, but it’s frustrating that a few nincompoops seems to actually think it’s a good idea. Good grief.
I wonder when McQueeg let it be known he’d be ecstatic to serve as John F’in Kerry’s VP in 2004 if he got the similar message. Of course, he delivered the WH to the Party of Jim Webb in 2008 easy-peasy. A nice little gift.
It disgusts me that some so-called “conservatives” try to covertly sell FReepers on Obamabot Democrat politicians.
They always throw out some token disqualifier that they’re “not” endorsing so-and-so DemonRat for office, BUT.... so-and-so DemonRat is a decent, honorable, patriotic, old-fashioned conservative, bible-belivin’ Christian, salt-of-the-earth, scot-irish, blah blah blah... STATESMEN who cares about his constituents, looks out for the veterans, and would do a wonderful job in so-and-so public office.
We used get this kind of BS all the time when Al Gore’s hand-picked running mate LIEberman was Senator and that lying piece of garbage Joe Manchin was Governor. They’d talk up Manchin all the time and then flat out deny that they’re touting him to conservatives: “I didn’t vote for Manchin, he’s NOT my candidate, but as far as Democrats go, he’s one of the few good, honorable, conservative, patriotic ones. He has been an outstanding Governor for... blah blah blah blah”.
These “conservatives” got LIEberman another term where he promptly went on to cast a tie-breaking to the Senate under Harry Reid’s thumb and cast the 51st vote for Obamacare. These “conservatives” got Manchin a nice cushy career in Washington, where he promptly turned traitor after running as a “pro-gun” Democrat.
Either they are useful idiots who are extremely gullible and easily fooled by Dems who “sound” reasonable, or they are outright Dem plants who register here and pretend to be conservatives for the purpose of promoting socialists to GOP voters.
