Fox: "McCain's High Profile Stirs Talk of Presidential Run"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain (search), the straight-talking Republican who often challenges the GOP (search) establishment, has taken on a headline-grabbing issue — steroids in baseball — and generated talk of a presidential bid in 2008. Amid revelations about baseball's biggest names, McCain has threatened to push legislation early next year if Major League Baseball (search) and the players do not clean up their act. McCain long has advocated harsher penalties for athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs.

The three-term senator from Arizona has earned a reputation as a go-to lawmaker, tackling campaign finance, the war on Iraq, federal spending and climate change.

It's little wonder that his foray into the baseball scandal has revived Republican speculation about McCain and the 2008 presidential race.

Even though President Bush has yet to take the oath of office for a second term, other names that have surfaced as possible GOP candidates in 2008 include Senate Majority Leader Bill "Cat Killer" Frist of Tennessee; Sens. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, George Allen of Virginia and Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania; former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and Govs. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts and George Pataki of New York.

our savior. Shutter the thought

2. Some of those wouldn't be the worst thing in the world

some of them would be even worse than bush. Santorum! Frist! I hate Giuliani's guts! And don't forget Jeb, who I think has a good shot too.

5. 2 days before this year's election, Jeb denied a 2008 run on Larry King

Now, changing his mind wouldn't constitute the first "Bush Lie" in history (Such as Pappy's "READ...MY..LIPS: NO NEW TAXES")...

But it was interesting how it was phrased. I don't have a transcript, but it went something like this:

KING: Can you definitely say that you will not be running for president in 2008?

BUSH: I will not run for president in 2008.

KING: So you're no longer interested in running for president?

BUSH: I won't run in 2008.

So God help us all in 2012.

7. The same neocon thugs that are bihind bush will make him

an offer he can't refuse. But then again, what do I know? I'm just guessing like most everybody else on here.

[Mojambo]

3. I'm sure he'll give it a shot, but

He's going to be damn old in 2008. And not just old, but old with health issues...

I don't see it happening. A Howard Dean/John McCain matchup would be entertaining in the extreme.

4. McCain will never get the NeoCon/Diminionist Approval

The NeoCon/Diminionist Bush Regime has been and will continue to use
Moderates to further their own Extremist agenda.
The tease to McCain and other moderates is only the Extremists way to control them and make the moderates think that they have a say (influence)
The 2008 Repunk candidate is going to be another NeoCon/Diminionist Fascist

6. I've said all along the Republicans are going to run McCain in 2008

There are so many democrats that are conned by his bullshit and will vote for him. At 1st I kinda liked McCain but after seeing him out kissing ass with Bush during this election HE TOTALLY MADE ME SICK, so I will die and go to hell before I vote for his sorry ass.

9. I'd take McCain over Bush anyday

By the way ........Disturbed's picture is adorable.
Its adorable that Bush and his mother get along so well. What's that thing on Mrs. Bush's face?

10. The boot-licking Bush ass kisser? THAT John McCain????

I'd as soon kiss a viper on the lips, as support that asshole.
