If John Mccain were to run for president, would you support him or buy into the republican thrashing he'll recieve from the Bush admin? Like what happened in 2000 when he went against GW..

McCain is too liberal for me personally, especially in regard to issues like illegal immigration, gun control and campaign finance reform.  With that in mind, I can't imagine the Dems running a candidate that would be much better on those issues.  In the end, it'll get down to a lesser of two evils, just like the 2000 and 2004 elections.  \n\nOne of the biggest indicators that McCain is a bad choice is the huge number of liberals who claim they'd vote for him in an election.  I don't believe that crap for a second.  When it gets down to it, liberals are not going to support ANYONE in the Republican party, even if they were a self-avowed communist.\n\nNope.  When the rubber hits the road, McCain isn't a viable conservative choice.  Now...if you're asking will he win the nomination, I'd have to say he has a pretty good chance.

John McCain has been bought & paid for by mexico (as has our president  & some of the "elected class - big money in drugs as you know) - too bad for Americans that the Vietnamese didn't kill him when they had a chance!

Alright Brendan, here's what you wanted to hear and the best answer.  I voted for Bush the first time.  I voted for him again in 2004.  I feel more duped than embarassed but they are both in my feelings and I don't like it at all.  I was lied to about WMD and I bought it.  It wasn't a mistake, it wasn't for the good of the country, it was a freaking LIE.  I have no idea how many other lies I have bought into from this administration but I do know that I will not be fooled by them again.  Now I automatically attach the BIG FAT LIE sticker to EVERYTHING that comes out of the White House.  I will not be voting for ANY Repubs this year, so they can thank W for the loss of my vote.

He has actually moved to the right some, but all in all is still quite moderate, Bush being far right does cause conflict with him and he does disagree with him on certain points. I have allot more respect for McCain then most repuglicans that get in lock step with the far right and never mind what the average American people need.

I voted Kerry, but I had voted for Dean in the primary and wish he had won the nomination.\n\nIf I had it to do again, of course I would vote Kerry in the main election (assuming I couldn't rally enough friends to change the Democratic primary results), but I would also take two particular friends with me to vote for President and let them experience the political process (I later found out that they had never voted for anyone, in any election).\n\nIn the meantime, I have a sign in my window reading "Impeach Bush," and I can only hope that my dearest wish will come true...\n\nor that at least our VP will resign over shame for his stances, his policies, oh, and for shooting someone in the face...and that Bush will find himself a far less efficient instrument for the radical right without his puppeteer in the wings.\n\nSorry, but I needed to let out some frustration there. Thanks for listening. Good question.

I doubt you'd get a 2/3rds vote in the Senate.  Lord I hope you wouldn't.  If Bush went Cheney would be president.  If Cheney went Hastert would be President.  Man!  Now there are some frightening haloween thoughts!

I'm a Democrat but I would vote for him if the democrats don't put a good candidate. He isn't a conservative, but a moderate. He is pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and he is tough on crime. I like that in a person but I don't think he will win the nomination. The conservatives in the Republican party won't vote for him and most of them vote in the primaries. He will lose and I think McCain would get the nomination. He's from NY, has any northerner been elected president in recent times? I think his chances are slim of being nominated.

McCain scares me.  Seriously, at one time I thought he may just be a good candidate for the Republican ticket.  Not anymore.  I think he's a poll watcher and a loose cannon. \n\n I did not hear him make that statement....can you  provide a link?

I vote Republican almost no matter what.  Even though things may ~appear~ bad today, think about America had John Kerry won...  insurgency in iraq would be out of control as we pulled out...  taxes would be higher (someone has to pay for the extra benefits he'd offer to illegals)...  the Supreme Court would be so liberal, it'd make FDR happy - free speech would be gradually limited, but hey, you wouldn't even need to be a doctor to perform an abortion anymore...  I think of the alternatives, and make my mind up well before any election.

abso-fukkin-lutely not!!!  i am not a democrat, but did vote for Kerry because he was (as we already know) the far better choice. so if Kerry had been elected and had fukked up as many things as bush -- well, let's be fair, it is mostly cheney and rove and rumsfeld and others around bush, then i ABSOLUTELY WOULD HAVE TURNED ON HIM. I would be asking for his impeachment just as i am asking for the Team B impeachment now.

Actually, Bush called the second election a 'clear mandate'.  So, no, I don't see it changing with HIM.  Hoewever, the GOP will hopefully be smarter in 08 when they realize that we still live in a democracy, and you better give us someone we want, or face another humiliating loss.  Just think, the GOP could have nominated Elizabeth Dole in 2000 instead of Bush...imagine how different things would be...

I voted for Kerry in the last election.  I think if he were president now I would be able to get health insurance for my children.  I feel that he would have started taking troops out of Iraq.  Don't get me wrong I am all for our soldiers but not for this war. But thats a whole other question.

Doesnt it remind you of why you voted for George W.???  Does me...I would rather have a man in office who loves our country and supports our soldiers who are over there risking their lives everday, Kerry wants to criticize our soldiers despite the fact that some have died for his right to live in a free world.  What a POS.  He doesnt deserve his next breath much less for someone to let him run his mouth in public and address the American ppl...

I think he's viable for that reason alone... people are not responding well to the partisan views of the current Republican leadership... I think if you go with someone like a Frist, it's a sinking boat, as things stand now...

it's refreshing to see someone with enough testicular fortitude to speak truth to power...bush doesn't give a rip about webb's son, and webb did right by not playing the game...he wasn't elected to drop to his knees and service bush...that's what rush, o'reilly, coulter, mccain, condi, fox news, and various rabid right-wingers are for...enough is enough...i'll bet there are plenty of people with family members in iraq who would love to have had the opportunity to say the same thing to bush...it's nice to see that for once we have someone willing to look the president in the eye and tell him he's full of it...God knows it's long overdue...contrast that to gop front-runner mccain who let bush completely punk him on anti-torture legislation, only he's so eager to be the president at any cost that his overhyped sense of morality and independence has been conveniently pitched overboard...he's another yapping lapdog....

why dont u put that money into supporting ur candidate-americans r tired of negative ads.  in 2004, bush was the only one who explained anything-kerry just said bush is worng bush is wrong-he didnt have a solution.  i wanna know what your candidate will do-not what he thinks is bad about the other candidates-do that-that is what we want-not a negative mudslinging battle-too much of that on both sides nowadays-dont make is three sides-
