What if McCain chooses a PRO-Ron Paul VICE PRESIDENT?

0 votes

I was browsing AOL today and they chose 4 potential running mates for McCain.

One of the 4 was Mark Sanford, governor of SC.

Now I was saying back in November that if Ron Paul were to choose a VP running mate, Mark Sanford would make a great one because he is also considered a libertarian republican, was in congress with Ron Paul and voted with Ron Paul a lot of the time being one of two republicans voting against something.

Mark Sanford is also a two term SC governor.

So I'm wondering if people would vote for McCain if he chose Mark Sanford as his VP. And then the question is, what would Ron Paul do if his buddy Mark Sanford was the VP candidate?

Because look at this scenario...if McCain were to pass away say of old age while in office, and Mark Sanford became President, couldn't he choose a VP like Ron Paul?

Anyway it's interesting to say the least....I think McCain might get some fiscal conservative Ron Paulites if Mark Sanford is chosen as VP.

VP never helps a ticket

It can only hurt a ticket.

Also has Mark Sanford openly endorsed Dr. Paul?

Unless McCain chooses someone named Rockwell, Buchanan, or Barr, i would call into question their "credibility" as a Ron Paul republican.

VP is the Most Irrelevant Position Ever Devised

Ron Paul would be far more effective in the House of Representatives than as Vice President.

Dick Cheney and George

Dick Cheney and George Herbert Walker Bush would disagree.

what if

Ron Paul becomes president? I will accept no substitutes! What if, what if! Accept nothing less! Save America vote Ron Paul. Tell at least one person a day about Dr. Paul , freedom to fascism and loose change. Get out there!

Paul Pro? or Paul...VP.

Get to the point.
I would labor for Ron Paul as VP.

You Ask 'WHAT IF' // Well .., What If Pigs Could Fly?

Vote RON PAUL 2008
_______________
And what if we're all wrong and MCCAIN is the best damn candidate for President of the United States of America -- not because he was once upon a time in a far away place long-long ago a prisoner of war (in North Vietnam) and not because he may very well have been a traitor to the land we all love back then (that's still the USA -- for you that may have forgotten) BUT BECAUSE he's beyond all that now and intends to show he's beyond all that now by keeping this land we all love (the USA) at war for the next damn 100 years or so if it takes him that long to show how he's a changed man.

Yeah, what if pigs could fly? -- makes about as much sense to me.

His VP would most certainly be a clone chosen by the same powers behind the throne that 'selected' him too, no doubt; and that clone might very well be none other than JOE LIEBERMAN, the Senator from Connecticut that was beaten out of the Democrat Party last election but managed to come back anyway as an alleged Independent because the people love him and expect him to continue doing good things for this land we all love. Bullshit -- an entire wheel barrow full of the stuff. Wake up people.

RON PAUL is this nation's only hope; stop allowing yourself to start considering the 'what ifs' as if it's the 'People's Will' to accept someone else of lesser talent to be 'selected' // and the one we know to be the better man isn't to be -- that happening would only be because of trickery and deceit by a power that operates in plain sight right before our unblinking eyes and wants us to start thinking in that fashion. Wake the F-up!

Concentrate on what's really and truly important here and that's keeping focus and making sure our voice is heard LOUD & CLEAR in one unwaivering direction // We want RON PAUL as our President and who it is HE would be picking as his VP -- not some GWB/Clinton clone that would continue to rule over this bruised land we truly do love.

One more time -- Wake Up! And don't pay attention to people that would have you start giving in, allowing your hope to crumble away, when we truly know who the best man is here -- don't we. And it's certainly not JOHN MCCAIN.

Vote RON PAUL 2008

If Mark Sanford was so great

he would have endorsed RP, but no he decided sit back and watch Ron struggle in SC. I don't care who the running mate is, I would NEVER vote for McCain....will there even be anyone that wants to run with him? (landslide defeat)

I wouldn't be concerned.

Devvy Kidd will be Ron Paul's running mate.

Only if McCain had advanced terminal cancer

I don't know much about Sanford, but if he is a clone of Ron Paul on domestic and foreign issues, I might be inclined to roll the dice that McCain might die early in his term. Because of economic conditions, I don't think the 2008 presidential winner will likely win a second term, so McCain would need to be very ill now.

The VP job has little power until the president

dies or resigns or is impreached or otherwise leaves office. Other than being the president of the Senate and traveling the rubber chicken circuit, the job isn't worth a bucket of warm spit.

examine the influence of george bush sr when vp

I don't care if McCain chose Jesus for VP

I still won't vote for him.
I'll vote libertarian for president and Republican for all other offices.

thats like Reagan being

thats like Reagan being forced to have bush as a running mate. do not get snookered again. we all know what we need

pro

why would a pro-Ron Paul Anyone back McCain? He's the same as Hillary and Obama.

There's nothing that would encourage me to vote for any of these lesser and greater evils. I'm voting for the correct person for the job by any standard, even if I have to write him in, Dr. Ron Paul.

only if

McCain's terminal! He doesn't look healthy.

Obama Will Cut McCain to Pieces

The MSM and polsters are playing "rope-a-dope". The NYT endorsed McCain because they knew he was the easiest Republican to beat. Remember how "popular" Guiliani was with GOP primary voters. He was never that popular. McCain filled a vacuum (how appropriate), in that the talk show shills will either ignoring Ron Paul or attempting to discredit him; and, when they did their "hatchet job" on Huckabee, they completely ignored McCain. Remember what happened to George "Split the Difference" Bush and Bob "Tax 'em Till They Scream" Dole, once they faced Bill Clinton? McCain won't even do that well.

SC Paulhead sez

IMO - If Sandford agreed to be the VP on a McCain ticket, and they lost, it would likely quash any future presidential possibilities Sanford may have - and loss for McCain is very likely and likely a very large loss at that

Understand

Fortune Favors the Bold

The McCain campaign is trying to pick a VP. They are trying to gauge how to get our support. Looking at David's posts he has
1. Posted this.
2. Posted disinfo about calling a station that DID NOT report Ron Paul dropped out.
3. Argued that the march was a bad idea and we should wait till the convention and protest there.
4. Other things, but see for yourself.

Fortune Favors the Bold

So is david slapshot or pajeff

Smells like troll in here!

DavidG is a mole- track his posts

Fortune Favors the Bold

he had a post earlier telling us to bombard a station with inaccurate info.

I called him on it, and it disappeared.

Fortune Favors the Bold

Pardon me

Are you on drugs?

I don't think we have to

I don't think we have to worry about McCain making any good choices on anything.

Even if...

Even if McCain picked a Ron Paul Republican as a VP, my vote still goes to Ron Paul. The RP GOP VP [say that 5 times fast!] would probably be subject to assassination, thereby spring boarding McCain's lust for martial law control. What better excuse to lock down America than having the 2nd highest leader killed?

They hate us for our freedom. Thank God the government is here to take it away!

DavidG IS a suspicious character

Fortune Favors the Bold

But people should be more cautious in choosing their words. "Mind control" is inaccurate. I think a better word would be psy-ops or possibly COINTELPRO

If you track his responses, you will see what I am getting at.

Fortune Favors the Bold

Put me on that list too.

I am certainly suspicious for I have commented favorably on the possibility of Sanford as VP. Please track my responses and alert posters here that I am a danger.

The first 5 million supporters of Dr. Paul are 'early adopters.' The next 10 million will require a modified approach.

It wasn't this post alone

I am not on a witch hunt.

McCain and whoever he picks for VP still = LOSER

This subject is not even worth discussing!

Who the hell cares who is VP...Obama would bury McCain.

The ONLY one who can beat Obama is Ron Paul!

WAKE UP, GOP!!!

Hmmm

I guessed you missed today's Rasmussen poll that has McCain ahead of Obama by four points. And you might have missed the general election polls Rasmussen had a while back that had Obama beating Paul by 15% in a general election matchup.

depends on who you look at...

Zogby is also very reputable and had Obama beating McCain by 7 points.

Ron Paul is now in almost total MSM blackout....how can you do polling on a candidate that is getting no coverage? If he is allowed to get his ideas out there and could debate Obama, I think he would make mincemeat of him.
