McCain/Huckabee a good ticket?

[Jethro333]

I think it would be. McCain has the experience to get things done in DC and Huckabee could learn and gain foreign policy experience. All opinions appreciated.

[LadyMod at scam.com]

Oh Hell no!



LOL

[KrisW]

Most definately.

The Fair Tax plan is TRUE tax reform.

[Smurf-Herder]

Don't trust McCain.

He's been on the wrong side of most of the major issues. Pretty much a RINO (Republican In Name Only).

The Fair Tax is a great idea ........... but I wouldn't bet a penny on McCain doing anything with it.

[Moby]

McCain is following too many of the President's positions. Taxes, immigration, war and obviously it seems that it's a bad direction. Sure people loved these ideas when it was Bush doing it but now they don't want it because McCain is too old.

The Fair Tax is a joke. It's just a way for investors to never pay taxes in America again and send more money over seas.

Think about it. Capital gains are never taxed and if I buy a vacation home with those gains in Mexico do I ever pay taxes on it?

The Fair Tax is how we are going to build Mexico into a true Federalist Society. Shouldn't we try to make America?

[Cat slave]

Bush is no conservative and McCain is not either. They are both too liberal
anymore! Gads! Im gonna have to hold my nose real tight tomorrow at the
voting screen....not going to be easy! Wish Keyes had a chance...thats one
I could feel good about...oh, well.

So where are you getting this information from ? McCain's age is not an issue, so what does age have to do with it anyway ? Why woud anyone vote for Hillary vs. McCain when she only has 6 credible years in Congress, the rest counts about a much in politics as does Warren Buffetts wife has credibilty at a shareholder meeting j/k?

McCain has displayed contempt for conservative evangelicals, opposed Bush's pro-growth tax cuts for reasons other than he says (spending), has engaged in other class-warfare rhetoric like demonizing oil and drug companies, co-sponsored the abominable McCain-Kennedy illegal immigrant-forgiveness/open-borders/Social Security zapping bill, and even voted for the Specter amendment, which could have conferred consulting rights on Mexico concerning the erection of a southern border fence.

McCain is in favor global warming initiatives, favors re-importation of drugs from Canada, and promoted the McCain-Kennedy-Edwards patients bill of rights. Even his pro-life credentials are not as pristine as we're told: He opposes reversal of Roe vs. Wade and sided with anti-political speech zealots in filing an amicus brief against Wisconsin Right to Life.

27% of Fox News readers think that being 72 is too old. McCain's age is a major issue and has been since he started running.

McCain is the the President's biggest war supporter.
His bill on immigration matches the President's desire perfectly.
He wants to make the temporary tax cuts permanent even though we can now see that they did not and will not pay for themselves.
He also opposes health care for poor Americans.

The war, taxes, health care and immigration are big issues. Usually those are the top issues for neoconservative voters. Although abortion is up there as well.

[Moby]

How many years of political experience did George W Bush have when he ran for office?

His previous experience did matter. He ran 3 corporations into the ground, borrowed lots of money from daddy's supporters and left the small investors and employees fucked.

Oh so now using a Neocon site is a credible source of news, no it is not.
27% is not a high number anyway.

McCain opposed Bush's pro-growth tax cuts for reasons other than he says (spending). It is a matter of public record. I remember McCain talking about cutting spending and finding a way to pay for debt obligations.

Dodging the question again. Bush can't run for office anyway, so what does Bush have to do with anything related to this thread? Noting! Fact is, the leading Dem presidential candidates have a little political experience and no one is talking about it.

Why because the media can manipulate voter opinions away from experience and go ape-shit about a man's age!

He's 72? That's too old. Something could happen to his ticker and then the Vice pres would take over. On the plus side though, when he retired the taxpayers wouldn't be paying him a salary for as long as they would be a younger president.

So you think Romney is a better choice? Doctors can keep men alive so long as the money holds out. Age has no meaning so long as the candidate has experience. The democratic party should have recruited better choices. Experience is far more important than image or age.

Hillary makes Obama look better each day. I'd consider any other woman.
We don't need 4 more years of the Clinton's. They will take more furniture and paintings.

Let's see. So far the PNAC controlled administration has cost us $3.5 Trillion so that adds up to about $700,000,000,000 a year.

4 more years of people taking furniture vs. $700 Billion a year.

That's a tough choice. :lmao2:

So much for answering tough questions, LOL!

Neither party has produced good choices.

Experience is important, tough questions are easy to dooge when you don't have the right answers. Go left or go right and avoid the toughies.

Thanks for the laugh.

Let's not forget all those jobs gone because of NAFTA, internet stock scandal, tech stock scandal, hedge fund bailouts, the impeachment process that could have ended with an honest answer about cheating, mortgage crisis that Clinton pretended was not an issue, global warming, the list goes on and on. The people lost trillions due to the Clintons.

Neither party impresses me that much. Crooks R Us and they powers that be corporate are in control and all the people let them dodge the issues once they get elected.

[KrisW]

McCain's age is not an issue, so what does age have to do with it anyway ? .


Oh, it will be an issue; especially if Obama wins the Dem nod.

[bigfootzx]

Do you care to elaborate? Know something about McCain's health ?
No of course not, the same arguments came against Reagan too.

We'll see who is the best based on expereince and desire to fullfill campaign pledges. I'm still open to Obama. McCain has a career track record of working with both parties because he knows he is working for all of the people, not just his supporters and special interest groups.

Race will be an issue too, although it should not be. Regardless of what people say the hate has not disapeared, why, because we have so many hypocrites and closet racists in politics. Should Obama win, he could face many hurdles to get respect and push his Bills thru Congress. This country is still hateful towards blacks and women. The hate has gone underground, meaning it is still apparent with attack ads, but the communication in political circles is closely guarded. aka the good ole boys club

[KrisW]

McCain would be even older than Reagan. The Dems will DEFINATELY make an issue out of it; especially if Obama is running.

[bigfootzx]

Well lets hope Obama's drug habits do not return, now that he has money he can buy all the cocaine he wants. I know some will take issue with age, but it has no merits on the candidates abilty to get the job done, no more than past drug use means Obama will have a relapse and have to go into rehab.
Who know's maybe the Columbians will like Obama j/k.

[KrisW]

Oh you can count on the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter to raise them.

You mean the drug "habits" from his misspent youth? From decades ago? The "habits" that he has somehow refrained from indulging even though he's made a very comfortable living since college as a lawyer and best-selling author?

But he gets to the WH and all of a sudden Demon Weed and Lady White will claim their own again.

Please. Give me a break.

Criticize the guy on his lack of substance or experience. But trying to use the drug thing is a pathetic attempt at character asassination.

[KrisW]

If the Limbaughs and Coulters of the world are willing to throw mud at one of their own, what makes you think they are going to give Obama a pass?

BTW, you really need to tone-down your use of tropes if you want your posts to be understood.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm simply stating what will come around again now that the race is thining down to the best of the best. Everyone knows it was in the past, but mudslinging will focus on such issues, just as they attack on age, sex or religion. I was making a joke out of KrisW's suggestion that age is an issue. That why I used j/k at the end.

But you know for a fact that cocaine use is a felony, so what he got away with it, he still broke the law and he learned a lesson from and it will haunt him again, the public eye on politics is very discriminating.

[Little Red Dog]

And course Bush was known to snort a line or two.....

There's a big difference between getting away with a crime and getting nailed
by a political investigation.

Fact is, the 503 ads are coming and the sleazyer side of politics is about to reveal its ugly head. The Swift Boat ads were pathetic, I'm betting this time will be worse, the Clinton supporters will be nasty.

[Cat slave]

Well, after a few days to calm down a little, my feelings are no different.
WE have NO conservative running. We only have liberal Pubs like wolves
in sheeps clothing and it will be a cold day in hell before I would ever vote
for McAmnesty or the Huckster either.

I plan to sit back and watch Hitlary and Obama slide into the WH. While
the sickle is being painted on the WH, Ill sit back and snicker and say "gotcha
last" to the rotten, stinking, pandering, lying, sellout party I embraced for so
long. We cant have our way but we can for sure have our say....and that
will be "take that and up yours"!:mad:

[KrisW]

Oh Pleaze....I was willing to give Clinton a pass UNTIL he wagged his finger at me and claimed Lewinsky didn't blow him. After that, I have NO faith in him.

And the slimeball tactics he's used against Obama shows he hasn't changed a bit.

I think the slimeball tactics will hurt Hillary, Bill wants to grandstand and loves to please the crowds. He loves the celebrity status with the brightlights on him. A good way to cruise the crowds for his next Ho!

[KrisW]

Well, if slinging mud didn't work to some extent, nobody would do it.

[mwillman]

Pro growth tax cuts, thats funny. The economy has not grown since bush took office and all the tax cuts did is make the rich richer while bankrupting the nation.

As for McCain/Hucklebee I dont care who the republicans pick is becuase they dont have a chance of winning. Bush light and the Grand Inquisitor are not what this nation needs.

[JCBoston11]

McCain will need the christian votes that Huckabee would bring. But can McCain stomach working with Huckabee. I think McCain would rather pick his old friend Thompson, but that would be a disaster of a campaign.

[bigfootzx]

What if McCain picked up the Dem loser as his Veep ? Let's say Hillary loses to Obama in the primaries. McCain is closer to the center than the right. He could pick up a lot of Hillary supporters who do not like Obama. I don't see McCain and Huckabee on the same ticket.

I agree, McCain hate religious freaks and he will steer clear of Huckabee. He'll favor Thompson, but that will be the least energetic campaign ever. They'll have audiences snoring and someone will need to wake grandpa fred up.

Lol, wake up grandpa Fred, funny. I don't see Fred taking a back seat to McCain. Fred can earn an honest living in Hollywood.

McCain and Hillary would be hard to stop, if he kicks the bucket, Hillary is the Potus. Their political views are similar. We'll know who gets the Dem ticket soon enough. I just do not see Hillary giving up so easily if Obama gets the nomination.

Wow, i can't believe you're serious about a McCain/Hillary ticket? But playing devil's advocate is okay.

Why would McCain want to lose the entire GOP base by putting Billary on the ticket. He would be beaten to a pulp at the convention, forget tortured or waterboard.

Maybe Hillar will go 3rd party - the Pro-choice/Feminist party. Afterall, the Dem Party is 60% female, all of them will immediately leave.

Grandpa Fred will be on McCain's ticket because his wife wants to be in the White House. He's rich enough.

I threw it out there since the PNAC's do not like McCain and that makes him more attractive. Would he put her on ticket, doubt it, but she has proven she will side with Reps when she agrees with them. It was a wild card idea.

I don't see Hillary winning as a pro-choice candidate. Obama has many female dem supporters too.
