What do yo think about a Feingold/McCain Ticket?

[yourout]

I know this would never happen but would make an interesting discussion. A new political party maybe "The American Party" with Feingold/McCain as Prez and Vice Prez.
Clark as Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State.
Edwards as Attorney General.

Other Cabinet members include.
Scott Klug
Arlen Specter

Here is were I need help with other names from both sides of the isle. Any ideas?

[stpalm]

1. Feingold/Clark 08!

Feingold would be a great President, and Clark could help his foreign policy stuff (Clark would also get expierience and then run in 2012)

[Skink]

5. mCcain at this point is about as credible as Jeff Gannon...

Fiengold on the other hand could get elected.

[Dinger]

20. Clark/Feingold Is Better IMO

Clark's age could be a factor. But a Clark/Feingold or a Feingold/Clark ticket would be un beatable, yes, UNBEATABLE.

[NWHarkness]

2. I'll be supporting the Democratic ticket, myself.

[liveoaktx]

3. McCain is not only a Repub but a Wuss

PLUS he voted for Torture Pimp-something wrong with him.

[CatholicEdHead]

15. Those shots turned me off to McCain last year

considering how much he was smeared by Rove and Bush in the 2000 Primaries.

He also complained about W's policies for the 3 years prior to the election.

[formernaderite]

35. McCain is a republican.....enuf said

why so many on the left get a hard on over him bewilders not only me...but also my wife.

[robbedvoter]

4. yeay! Ashcroft supporter and W kiss-up! yeay!

[magnolia]

12. Exactly!

McCain is an ass. He teases with his centrist attitudes and then he lines up with the rest of them to kiss the presidential butt. I totally lost respect for him when he clearly saw that Bush was doing the same thing to Kerry that he had done to McCain. Not only did he condone it but then he went on the campaign trail singing his praises. It was truly disgusting. When he was confronted with it he got that sad, moralistic look on his face and admitted Bush had done wrong...but in the next breath is talking about what a great president he is. Pure bullsh*t!

Besides...how pathetic are we as a party if we can't even choose one of our own for VP.

[Hippo_Tron]

34. I'm sorry, which Senator was it that voted NO on giving Ashcroft...

The power to completely violate fourth ammendment rights and the power to detain people for an infinte amount of time with no real reason, when all 99 others were we're 100% supportive of it? Which Senator was that, again?

[Eric J in MN]

6. I find John McCain likeable, but I disagree with 95% of his positions,

including his position that George W. Bush deserved 4 more years.

[stopbush]

7. Sure...if they're running in Iraq...

[No Exit]

9. LOL!! Sounds like a plan!

[stpalm]

10. Why the Feingold hate?

He is the most principled, honest, and hardworking Senators ever! He donates his pay raises to the treasury. Come on, why do you folks hate him?

[No Exit]

8. John "Keating Five" McCain is not worth supporting. n/t

He's just another repukelican "good party man".

[onehandle]

11. Why don't we just change the Constitution?

Bush/Cheney 2008.

Welcome to DEMOCRATIC Underground.

[Greybnk48]

13. McCain is not an option

McCain is a two-faced ass who sold out big time when he backed * this past year. The public hugging and kissing was a bit over the top. As a Dem, I will never back McCain for any office.

[stray cat]

14. That is the only way to break up the two party system.

Two strong candidates. I would actually love to see it.

[pansypoo53219]

16. FUCK McCain!

the man SHILLED for the WORST president ever. why should WE ask to have a democratic president assasinated?

this McCain obsession is driving me mad.

[GDoyle]

30. Totally agree...

F him. F him hard. I once had respect for him, no more.

GDoyle

[DemoTex]

40. Another reason to fuck McCain.

McCain was putatively tortured in Hanoi yet he supported and voted for AG Alberto Gonzalez ("Tony is my name .. torture is my game). Something is very wrong with that picture.

[yourout]

17. Everyone is missing the point.

I was hoping to get a discussion on a party that represented people from all across the spectrum. Not a McCain bashfest. Dems and Reps both have people that will say or do anything to get elected. Can you say Hillary? Both sides also have some decent folks. I dont know if will happen but I hope the Reps will take back their party from the current corrupt right wing wackos and become what they say they are about....fiscal responsibility. We need a balanced system with neither party having the absolute power. The current state is a very dangerous situation as would complete control by the Dems.

[liveoaktx]

21. Sounds like you're really hoping the Republican party will reform

so that you can be more comfortable with it.

I have no wish to join the Republican party, never did and never will. In my neck of the woods, they're the ones that are racists, put corporate interests above those of the populace, are against civil rights, women's rights, the poor and are the ones beating the drums for war in the name of Jesus. No thanks.

But I'd like the see the Democrats STOP going towards the corrupt non-ethical cesspool of the Republicans. And the way to do that is NOT by putting Dems and Reps on the same ticket but by Dems STANDING UP for what is RIGHT and being passionate about it.

[yourout]

22. I want the Reps to reform because....

it would be the best thing for AMERICA. I vote for who I think is the best person for the job. Granted there have only been one or two Reps I have ever voted for...Scott Klug and another I can not remember. In the last 3 election cycles there was not a single Rep I would even think about voting for.

[robbedvoter]

24. best thing for America - get fascism away from power, restore constitution

Kinda at odds with the GOP goals at the moment. You'll get it one of these days.

[liveoaktx]

26. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn about the Reps reforming

I want to see them out of power. I also want to see any Dems are are faux Republican huggy-kissy suckups with the same agenda out of power, too.

Wouldn't your time on a DEMOCRAT board be better spent talking about how you would like the DEMOCRAT party to reform rather than the REPUBLICANS?

[BrainRants]

18. McCain supports torture.

His Gonzalez vote exposed his standard issue "GOP hypocrisy."

He can kindly refrain from using his POW status with any credibility from now on. He no longer has my respect.

P.S. I'm a Navy Vet, and McCain put his party before the safety of my fellow brothers, and didn't lift too much of a finger to denounce the swifites this past year. Fellow shipmate? Fuck him.

[MADem]

29. I'm with you on that

I had a problem with his vote, his unwilling to speak out.

The hugging and kissing of a man he despises tells me he will do anything to be associated with power.

Plus, he's too OLD, and he was lousy to his first wife, who stood by him and was horribly ill. He was also a maximum asshole when he worked at OLA. The fact that he never made Flag officer is also very telling--he should have been a shoe-in: war hero, POW, from a long line of Flag officers...in any other case it would have been a no-brainer, but they just couldn't bring themselves to bump him up a notch. Judge a person by the way they treat their family and their coworkers...it tells us all we need to know about things like character and loyalty.

[bullimiami]

19. if the dems dont get their party back further to the left i for one am out

i have always voted for democrats but they will have dissapointed me beyond reconciliation. i will vote green.

[Jim Sagle]

23. Sucko.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

25. Grant/Lee? FDR/Hoover? Schwarzenegger/Boxer?

Makes about as much sense.

[WMliberal]

27. I'd still vote with the democratic party.

Unless the greens ran a REALLY great candidate, I don't see myself voting for a third party in the near future.

[cestpaspossible]

28. McCain is one of the most dishonest, hypocritical people in politics today

[sadiesworld]

31. Feingold wouldn't live to give his first SOTU address. n/t

[sendero]

32. I couldn't have less respect..

McCain is a boot licking jackass that is almost schizoid in his ability to change tenor at the drop of a hat.

I wouldn't trust him with a bagel.

36. I couldn't have LESS respect for any two people. Fuck 'em both.

Don't need no stinking repukes on a ticket.

Don't need no repuke-lite on a ticket either.

McCain-whore out of the question.
Feingold-whore 2nd in line out of the question.

Dems do that they can kiss me and many others goodbye forever.

Dems better run true PROGRESSIVES this time around or I'm sitting this one out.

They have to EARN my vote this time around.

38. McCain CANNOT be trusted...he's proven he's a GOP party hack over and over

Just when you think McCain is reasonable, he bites you like a snake. If you look at his votes on nearly every issue, he is against the Democratic platform completely.

[0007]

39. Never John McCain



[ProgressiveConn]

41. McCain is an acceptable Republican. But I'm a Democrat.

I respect him. I think if the Republican party was made up of all John McCain's we would be MUCH better off as a country. That said I'm a Democrat. I'm going to support moderate Republicans as a counter to the extreme right. But I'm surely not going to support them over a Democrat.

[RealDems]

42. No No No To McCain!!!
