Are You 'Unity Ticket' People CRAZY?

[matcom]

what the HELL would compell you to want a 'Unity Ticket'?

Kerry/McCain???

are you INSANE??

WHY would you even CONSIDER a pro-life, conservative, RW PUKE to team up with a DEM? do you realize what that would do to further the 'ONE PARTY' cause?

what next? will the last standing party be labled the:

Republicrats?
Democraplicans?

have you no shame? it would be (IMHO) the WORST thing for 'democracy' in the long run to have that happen! forget checks and balances. it would be OVER. sure, tap McCain for Sec. of Defense (MAYBE) but good GAWD

STOP IT!

1. I'm with you there, Matcom

A Dem/Repub unity ticket would just make it that much harder for those Greens who are going ot hold their nose and vote Kerry. Might even lose some of them at that point.

29. I hear ya, Matcom...

:mad:

2. Does this mean you don't want the Kerry/ Smith ticket?

[matcom]

3. Smith??

Jackelyn Smith?

well, maybe THAT :shrug:

[JVS]

6. No, Shepard Smith

[sventvkg]

4. I posted the Same thing 2 days ago

I'm ovbiously with you on this....It's NUTZ!!! no No no no no no no no no no no Freepers on our ticket....

[ibegurpard]

5. Oh but it's such a CLEVER campaign ploy

to rile up people who are wobbly in their support for Kerry anyway to appeal to people who will be tuning all of this out until October.

[JVS]

7. Clever as a two story outhouse

[redqueen]

8. Crazy idear alright.

No other word I can think of to describe it, anyway.

:shrug:

But hey... it would make voting for Nader a lot easier! (KIDDING!)

[mzmolly]

9. Agreed!

STOP IT!

[sangh0]

10. I've got a little secret for you, matcom

There's not a chance in hell that McCain is going to be Kerry's VP. It's just a way for Kerry to get some free media attention that makes him look less liberal, more bipartisan, less political, and has the added bonus that whenever they mention McCain, they mention his military record, which is always followed with a reference to Kerry's military record.

[rucky]

13. and McCain is using Kerry too

while he's shilling for Bush & positioning himself for '08.

it doesn't mean we have to get excited about it.

[sangh0]

15. Yes and no.

while he's shilling for Bush & positioning himself for '08.

Yes, agreed

it doesn't mean we have to get excited about it.

Actually, we do. Or at least, we need to act like we're getting excited about it. It helps foster the impression that Kerry is not so liberal. The more moderate voters will think "How liberal can he be if he gets the liberals so upset?"

That won't happen unless we act upset!!!

[rucky]

26. I can do a very convincing acting job for that one. n/t

[Q]

28. What the fuck is wrong with being 'liberal'?

- It's bad enough to have the RWingers attacking liberals like they're the enemy. Now we have so-called Dems doing the same thing.

- A liberal should be proud to be a liberal. Anything else is just plain hypocrisy.

[BringEmOn]

11. You want unity? Put Reverend Sun Myung Moon on the ticket!

We can match up every democrat with a republican, have a mass wedding and live happily ever after! </sarcasm>

[robbedvoter]

14. I like this!

[rucky]

12. THANK YOU

and another question for the unity folks...

Is it low self esteem or are you trolls?

[Toby109]

16. Ok, here's my take

Two decorated Vietnam War veterans join forces, despite obvious differences in policy, to rid the the country of the worst President in American history. To save the United States of America. How great is that story?

[matcom]

18. it SUCKS

here is the problem.

McCain, after ALL Bush has done to this country, done to him personally, done to this Constitution (that McCain had spent years in a POW camp for) he is STILL campaigning for him.

he is a REPUKE

PERIOD.

a unity ticket would DESTROY this Republic

[Toby109]

27. Yeah but the sheeple would lap it up

like home made gravy. And it would virtually assure a Bush defeat, IMO. In more normal circumstances I would rather root for a winner than hope that someone loses. But in these desperate times one might expect some desperate measures.

I'll shut the fuck up now as I see the hole that I'm digging. It's just food for thought. But if Kerry picks McCain, it will not change my vote. I want Bush out.

[library_max]

17. I just did a quick Search.

Searched "McCain" in thread title, all forums, all current topics. I counted thirteen threads bashing the idea of McCain as a Vice-Presidential nominee, compared to five which mentioned it neutrally or favorably. So maybe the way to stop hearing about the McCain for VP idea would be to stop talking about it.

[redqueen]

19. You're far too rational, LM

Are you sure you're not a vulcan? ;)

[library_max]

20. Vulcan - LOL

About choked on mah Diet Coke. Thanks. Actually, I make my living looking up facts and information and teaching other people how to do the same, so it's kind of a knee-jerk reaction sometimes.

[Astarho]

21. Call it what it is: The Surrender Ticket (nt)

[fujiyama]

22. An even more ridiculous idea

was Kerry/Powell.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA I know there was a thread on that yesterday, but it was sarcastic...but I think somebody actually suggested it. :puke:

[Padraig18]

23. And the people said AAAAAAAA-men!

:hi:

[JHBowden]

24. Kerry-Santorum 2004!

We might as well go all the way to get balance. :dunce:

[Pepperbelly]

25. What Matcom said. i concur. nt

[Generator]

30. I think anybody that thinks Kerry wants McCain is crazy

first McCain needs to come clean on this asshole in the white house and stop pretending he's wearing clothes. Until then, he's ONE OF THEM. It's war. If Kerry doesn't know that, then he's not going to win.
