What if McCain were heading the GOP ticket

Poll question: What if McCain were heading the GOP ticket

I noticed McCain has quite a few admirers on DU--not necessarily supporters, but what if McCain were nominated instead of the chimp would anybody be tempted to vote for him?

[Exgeneral]

1. What if monkeys flew out of my ass?

just as likely, and this could effect Kerry about as much.

[WI_DEM]

3. it's just a hypothetical

DU is full of hypothetical questions.

[arwalden]

26. Then Your Ass Would Be Sore...

... and the monkeys would need a bath. :hi:

-- Allen

(An excellent response, by the way.)

[Exgeneral]

29. and I don't know if I'm covered for that event either

either way, stinky monkey.

[sundancekid]

2. HELLO! don't we think PRO-CHOICE matters???????

[WI_DEM]

4. I think it does

I wouldn't vote McCain.

[azmesa207]

5. MC Cain

He is Republican no I would not vote for him he has no democratic ideals he Backs Bush

[KissMyAsscroft]

6. This poll has either been freeped...

or as of now has 8 idiots voting possibly for McCain.

I'm sick of this God Damn McCain worship. It's like we are at DemocraticUndergroundandMcCainWorship.Com

[Exgeneral]

30. It speaks of how rightwing things have become

that many here obsess over a rightwingbat like Mc Cain.

[sandnsea]

31. No, it's how anti-Kerry it's become

Don't kid yourself, no Dem on DU would ever vote for McCain over Kerry. Alot of Nader, Kucinch, Kerry-haters would put it on a DU poll though.

7. He not only backs Bush*

He lets Bush* shit on his head then he campaigns for him*. I can't vote for McCain Becouse I've lost all respect for him.

[Gothmog]

8. I admire McCain but would still support the party

Senator McCain is a fine and honorable man but I would still vote for the Democratic nominee. Senator Kerry is far closer to most of my views that Senator McCain. McCain is an improvement over Bush but not enough for me to vote against the party.

[leyton]

Only against a slimy democrat.

Slimy as in untrustworthy, or something like that. The average Democrat would be my pick over McCain any day, but McCain is definitely superior to Dems like, to use an extreme example, James Traficant.

[Arkana]

17. Or Zig-Zag Zell.

[leyton]

27. Well, I couldn't vote between McCain and Zell Miller.

Not being a registered Republican, I can't vote in their primaries. :p

[swag]

9. I would applaud any McCain supporter who is here at DU

McCain is a largely reasonable Republican. Kerry will draw those voters.

Welcome to DU, largely reasonable Republicans!

[Scoopie]

33. I MIGHT and that's a big MIGHT

There are some things that Kerry would have to do to make me vote for McCain, but I HAVE actually voted for McCain before (against Bush in the 2000 primaries - I live in an open primary state) and would have been more happy with McCain than Shrub any ole day.
Thanks for letting us Indies join your blog, btw. :)

10. I'd vote for Kerry, he's a Democrat.

But I think most would agree that if McCain was President now we'd be better off than we are with Chimp.

[billybob537]

11. Thats right

we'd also be better off with a fucking houseplant!

[swag]

12. Where can we get one of those?

One of those fucking houseplants?

I'm desperate for one!

[GOPBasher]

13. I'd vote for Kerry, but I really do admire McCain.

I still disagree with McCain on a number of issues; he's conservative and I'm liberal. However, I admire him because he's a principled and reasonable conservative who won't think twice about bucking his party's leadership when necessary.

[GOPBasher]

14. Another thing: Repukes would never nominate McCain.

He's too reasonable of a person to be nominated by the Repugs. He doesn't hesitate to say things like, "Listen, we cannot afford any more tax cuts! The deficit is climbing through the roof! How much debt do you want to give our children?" A voice of reason like McCain can't be nominated by the party that has been taken over by nutcases.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. I like McCain as far as clean elections go, but

a lot of his other policy stances don't sit well with me.

I don't know. If I really didn't like the Dem I'd just vote Green.

[Padraig18]

16. I am APPALLED!

25% of the voters here would NOT vote for Kerry??????????

:wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:

[troublemaker]

18. WTF Indeed! This is gross.

I like, or at least tolerate, McCain more than the average DUer and I find the idea of voting for him for President downright DEPRAVED.

[Cornus]

20. My thoughts exactly

Right now it's 22% who would/might vote for the Republican who supports *. Go figure.

[Jack Rabbit]

19. I would vote for Kerry

However, my money would be on McCain.

21. If McCain had ran against the Chimp in Chief again

I would have switched my registration for the Primary, voted McCain overBush, then voted for whatever Dem was running against whatever Repug.

Whatever helps get Bush out.

[joanne]

22. Enough of McCain please!

I'm tired of it already. :(

25. The why are you reading the McCain threads?

seems like you're looking for it...:crazy:

[RafterMan]

23. Kerry

I like McCain but he wouldn't change my vote.

The Republicans have clearly abused their power, and it's time to take their toys away until they learn their lesson.

[LandOLincoln]

24. Of course I'd vote for Kerry over McCain. I'd vote for just about

any Democrat over just about any Republican.

However, I wouldn't be terrified of a McCain victory the way I am of another * election theft, because

(a) a McCain win would surely BE a win and not a theft;

(b) McCain is sane, and I'm assuming his Veep and cabinet would be likewise--guys like Chuck Hagel, Arlen Specter, Tony Zinni, etc.

[AntiCoup2K4]

28. Depends on the foreign policy question

If Kerry continued to pursue a PNAC foreign policy, and McCain was opposed to it, then hypothetically, the best interests of this country (i.e. getting rid of this neocon bullshit) would have to take precedence over party.

[Eurobabe]

32. I'd still vote for Kerry but be happy that Bu$h's sorry

ass was not in the running!!!

[Langis]

34. So would I!

I would hate the fact that McCain would win in a landslide, but at least Bush would be gone.

[VOX]

35. Never voted for anything that didn't have a (D) after its name.

And I never would vote otherwise.
