1. McCain, I believe, has sold his soul to Bush for his contributors.
I use to think he was a man of some principal. but his obsession with the presidency has led him down a terrible path and I think he made a pact with the devil(bush) for support. I saw him today and he looked miserable. He is a mouthpeice for Bush and you know it's killing him to parrot all the right Bushbot talking points.

8. Very well expressed.
McCain is one of the most tragic figures in American history. After having withstood years as a prisoner of war, he succumbed as a prisoner of his own ambition.

3. Hell no! But I would consider voting for Giuliani if he were D Nom
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't CHOOSE Giuliani, but if he were the Dem choice, I could vote for him.

McCain... NEVER!

4. There was a time when I would have answered YES!
When he was first running in 2000,riding the "Straight Talk Express" and actually talking to reporters and ANSWERING quesitons, I really like him. I wanted then, as I still do, a Prez who would be a straight shooter, and he gave a good impersonation of that.

That feeling, combined withthe arrogance I saw in Shrub even before he hit the campaign trail made John an attractive candidate.

Too bad he has since shown just what kind of a man he is.

5. Judas Iscariot McCain?
Maybe before he ass kissed Furious George.

But no now, nor in the future.

9. Probably the only Republican I would vote for if he ran as a Dem
is Lincoln Chafee. And that shit ain't gonna happen.

12. This is just getting plain out silly
Don't mean to pick on your thread - it is just the most recent one that I have seen.

Lieberman left the party

Zell demonizes the party

McCain would never join the party

All of the premises are silly.

13. Locking.
Please don't post copycat threads in General Discussion.
They take up room in one of our busiest forums that would otherwise be available for discussions pertinent to our party and basic Democratic/progressive interests.

Since the poll stated is a nill possibility, we're going to lock on that basis.

Thanks.
