I can deal with/ or stomach a man like Joe, because even if I disagree with him on politics, he is not about to sell out his country for politcal gain, or at least that has been my take.

I believe Romney could be such a pick, helping to lock in Michigan and Colorado, plus he understands the economy, finance and jobs. We are going to be facing another round of bank and finance problems in the next couple of months. It will be a major topic right before the election, and he needs someone who can knock the ball out of the park. The dems will have all the wrong solutions with taxpayer funded bailouts, the republicans need to have someone who can speak from experience how the banking problems should be addressed.

I hope that McCain chooses Pawlenty or someone similar as VP to shore up his conservative base. IMO anyone like Lieberman or Ridge would hurt.

Like I said when Pat Robertson endorsed Giuliani (Pro-abortion, pro gay-marriage) “This is turning out to be one of the strangest elections ever”… Since then Obama has become so dangerous to the country that I nearly forgot how much I despise Hillary, Robertson did a global warming advertisement with Al Sharpton, Hillary supporters for McCain have been born and now a Social Liberal Independant may be speaking at the RNC (not to mention the rumors of him being a candidate for VP)…

Pat Robertsons Giuliani endorsement was also based on the war on terror being the overriding issue of the election (Deja Vu?)…

Bottom line, I don’t like his stance on abortion, but a glance back at Obama makes the fact clear that McCain has to win this election, since Conservatives really have no choice but to vote for McCain, I’d say that Lieberman can only help him at this point (it ain’t right, but it is how it is)…

“you pick this man, you will start a revolution.”

I hadn’t even considered that factor… Could a Lieberman VP be the less painful answer to the “It took a Carter to get a Reagan” dilemma?

McCain made a STELLAR performance at Saddleback, which may very well have been the defining point for this election. But a single great showing does not an election win; and McCain could blow this whole thing if he goes “maverick” on us again by selecting a “centrist” to “left-of-centrist” VP. He’s got to reassure the Base that he’s learned from Bush’s failures about contemptuously backhanding his base in such examples as out-of-control spending, growing the size and power of the Federal govt., expanding LBJ’s Great Society programs, irrational support for illegals, wrongful prosecution of Border Agents, and so forth. These are the reasons (and NOT, I repeat NOT, the Iraq War) that Bush lost control of the Congress to the Dems as the GOP Base finally said “fuck you” back to the President.

McCain needs to pick a solidly conservative, pro-life V.P. Doing so MAY be the difference between a close election and blow-out landslide. Right now the Dems are portraying themselves as the dangerously out-of-touch psychotics off their meds. McCain needs to counter that by portraying the GOP as the in-touch, sane, sober, responsible ADULTS who have come to save the USA and put the Dems back on their meds and in the asylum. If McCain does this, not only is the Presidential election assured, but he may well regain control of the House and seriously threaten Douche-bag’s control of the Senate.

If McCain picks Jindael as his V.P., everyone will feel the country shifting under their feet back to the right in preparation for the emergence of the next Ronald Reagan, followed by the beserker banshee-like screams of Her Heinous as she begins her long-awaited melting. Hell, the entire Looney Left will go into meltdown!

One thing is certain: The Loones are no longer making any attempt to hide their spirit. We are at the Clash stage, and soon to come to the Expulsion. The Battle for America is coming to a head.
