Who's willing to go on the record as voting for McCain?

[senseandsensibility]

Anyone? Are even the most fanatical Hillary supporters willing to state that for the record?

[bunnies]

1. I'd chew my right arm off before I voted for that bastard.

Fuck him.

[TahitiNut]

23. So, he's the "Coyote Candidate"??

:rofl:

[beac]

39. Yup, and only "Coydog Democrats" will vote for him.

[Hawaii Hiker]

49. I agree...McBush is a despicable fraud

He acts like we've won in Iraq...Yes, violence is down, but WE ARE NO WHERE NEAR A POLITICAL SOLUTION....And also, McBush outright lied the other day when he tried to tell people at a rally, that we are at pre-surge levels of troops in Iraq, which is total BS...The levels have not been reduced to pre-surge numbers...

And I hate the fact that McBush gets away with being a moderate/maverick when he has called for Roe V. Wade to be overturned...Calling for a decision that's been the law of the land for over 35 years to be overturned, is HARDLY a position of a moderate, more like an extremist....

John W McBush is a bastard, & I am bewilldered when I hear Democrats say they'll vote for that phony...

[Blue_In_AK]

2. I'd never EVER vote for McCain

but I am not excited about the election, except down ticket.

[1awake]

3. I'll glady go on the record as one who would vote for McCain..

... for local dog catcher.

[doublethink]

4. If they are stupid enough to answer in the affirmative in this thread ......

then yes they do deserve the immediate tombstone.

[Elspeth]

8. Which means that this thread is a trap?

Not terribly fair. Let's wait until things calm down and see how the dust settles first. People say a lot when they're riled up.

[senseandsensibility]

10. I will be so proud if no DUer answers in the affirmative

:)

[Elspeth]

13. Why? If they answer in the affirmative, they can be tombstoned, right?

So, you'd be proud that some folks weren't walking into a trap? Well, I guess you could applaud their intelligence at avoiding traps, but not their party loyalty.

[senseandsensibility]

17. No I would be proud

if no DUer threatens to vote for McCain. Sorry if you don't feel that way.

[Elspeth]

28. I'm sorry you can't follow logic.

But, hey. Have a donut. :)

:donut:

[senseandsensibility]

32. What an isightful post

Thank you for your thoughtful reply.

[Elspeth]

34. It's logical, thoughtful, and comes with free food. :)

What's not to like? :D

[hokies4ever]

42. Sorry your gal got OWNED at the R&BC meeting

:rofl:

[Elspeth]

47. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[hokies4ever]

51. At least you have a sense of humor still :-)

:patriot:
Alright, obviously we don't agree on politics or on who should be the Dem nominee, so we might as just have some fun on here.

[Elspeth]

53. Well, I gonna tell Skinner....

that he just just doesn't have enough food emoticons on this board. I want more than donuts, coffee and beer. Some damned danishes and some pretzels. And a pizza. :)

[hokies4ever]

41. Elspeth don't be an idiot

He said that he hopes that nobody on DU will vote for McCain or advocate voting for McCain. Yet you take offense to this statement. You a McCain supporter or something?

Pepperoni or sausage? :rofl:

[kenny blankenship]

52. Not today they wouldn't be. Moderator Holiday

they all went to the beach to huff ether and carburetor cleaner or something.

All you attack weasels get to say whatever you want today. Probably tomorrow and the next day, too.

[Olney Blue]

5. Not me. I would rather have tea with Pickles than vote for that warmonger.

[DrDan]

6. anyone else bewildered by how his popularity has changed so much in the past several years

in 2004, there was a contingent here that was suggesting him as a VP choice for JK.

Then he seems to have sold out.

Was he ever worth the vote of confidence????

[GoesTo11]

12. Compromised principles for a last chance at power

You can tell he knows he's lying now. He sounded more sincere in 2000 because he was saying more what he really believed.

[Lerkfish]

14. the funny thing about politics is that there is the paid for consultant-crafted public persona

and the real person.

often, they don't match. and more often, it takes TIME to sort out the two. The longer the time, the more evidence we see of the real person.

[DrDan]

18. I agree with that - and too often we are willing to grab on to the

persona we want . . .

but we now see how wrong that was

[Renew Deal]

7. I'm voting for McCain

For Bush ass kisser of the year.

[senseandsensibility]

9. LOL

I love that picture. Well, maybe "love" isn't the word. Does love usually make you feel sick?

[IsItJustMe]

26. John just loves him some bush.

[hokies4ever]

43. When was that picture taking by the way?

[Renew Deal]

57. I'm pretty sure it's from the 2004 campaign.

Almost positive.

[klook]

62. August 2004, apparently -- judging from the first time it was posted on

FreeRepublic. Apologies for the reference, but that was the first Google listing I found that pegged the date.

Actually, there were some funny comments on FR, believe it or not -- of course, most of those morans were ridiculing this because they think McCain is "too liberal." Here are a few responses to the 8/10/04 thread there titled "Caption the Bush/McCain Love!":

• "I hope he made sure his wallet was still there. I don't trust McCain as far as I could kick him."


• "President Bush, watch out for the Mike Tyson Ear Bite from McCain! You know he never did get over you defeating him in the 2000 primaries!"


• "Heal this man!!!"


• "I wub you, Georgie-poo..."


• "Daddy, I'm sorry, I've been a very bad boy."


• "The Dems will have a field day with this. Especially over at DU."

[Lerkfish]

11. many of them have threatened that very thing.

which is more akin to a heat of the moment "I'm going to take my ball and run home" than a verifiable party switch.
However, since we don't know exactly how many and which ones are part of "operation chaos", its up in the air.

[Elspeth]

15. As I said above, Lerkfish, let's wait til the smoke clears

I myself would appreciate some of the Obama people taking back their smears against me before I consider voting for their candidate, but I won't hold my breath. :)

[Lerkfish]

27. I don't recall smearing you, but I would say if you have to "consider" voting

for the democratic nominee, you need to examine whether being a democrat is working out for you.

without question I would have voted for Clinton if she had won. anything is better than mccain.

[Elspeth]

33. Sharp of you, Lerkfish. Most people don't read so carefully.

I've been called many things on this board, the only one deleted was "troll". (And to think I gave an impassioned defense of Nancy Pelosi way back when.)

But one thing I'll tell you: I have no intention of voting for McCain or that jackass Nader. :)

[Lerkfish]

38. but witholding a vote you might have cast for a democrat out of hurt feelings or pique

brings about the same results.

:shrug: We need everyone's votes in november. If you don't wish to give that to your chosen party because your chosen candidate did not win, or some supporters on a message board offended you, then you're making this very historic and important election all about your candidate and yourself, instead of the party and the country.
I don't believe you're that petty, so I hope indeed you reconsider. There are larger things at stake here than simply personal feelings.
look at the parents of a fallen soldier, and think about that.

[Elspeth]

40. That's an inference a step too far, Lerkfish.

Baby steps. Always baby steps.

[Lerkfish]

48. really? correct me, then. Were you or were you not implying you possibly would not vote

for Obama?

[Elspeth]

50. I was no implying anything. Just giving you what I would not do.

I am waiting to see how things pan out this week. I take my time. But if you look at my sig line--and it's absolutely true--you see how I tend.

[hokies4ever]

Choc chip or oatmeal?

What kind of cookie do you want for voting for Obama? Perhaps a shiny gold star as well. You don't deserve the honor of voting for Obama. Your constant threats to not vote for him make you look pathetic.

[MonkeyFunk]

16. Why are you guys so

insanely obsessed over this issue? I honestly haven't seen ONE person here say they'd vote for McCain. If it has happened, I doubt it was more than two people who've said it.

And yet this must be the three hundredth thread on the topic. Are you really that low on ideas on how to bash Clinton suppoters?

[CTyankee]

25. You are right. I don't know how this got out but it is wrong.

I haven't seen any polls that say HRC supporters WON'T vote for Obama in the fall. I don't know where that comes from and I think it is suspect, in terms of the fall election.

[Renew Deal]

29. I've seen it.

More than twice.

[goletian]

30. ALL clinton supporters ive encountered on other forums have said they would do so.

surely, a few of those idiots are registered here, too.

[Lerkfish]

31. I have seen it on several occasions. Just because you haven't noticed does not make it false.

[H2O Man]

61. Right.

I've seen it, and more than two rimes.

[senseandsensibility]

67. Me, too.

eom

[RoyGBiv]

44. I saw someone say it ...

Still have the screenshot, in fact. Message was edited three separate times before it finally got deleted entirely. Or maybe locked. Can't remember.

Odd thing, though is that this was some time ago, when Hillary was ahead on total delegates and behind on pledged delegates, prompting an Obama supporter say s/he would vote for McCain and do all s/he could do to "destroy" the Democratic party if Obama lost because of the superdelegates.

Was interesting.

[hokies4ever]

46. What's so hard about pledging to vote for the Dem nominee?

That's why this is an issue. Everyday some Hillary troll on here threatens to not vote for Obama unless they are appeased. Rather sickening.

[cbayer]

60. And everyday some Obama supporter says he won't vote for his own candidate

if Clinton is on the ticket. What's the dif?

[hokies4ever]

63. If they say that they won't vote for Obama if he's on top of the ticket, not Obama supporter

By definition. Duh! :rofl:

[DesertRat]

19. He's been on my ballot for 20 years

And I never have and never will vote for him.

[yewberry]

20. Not a chance. nt

[BuyingThyme]

21. By "voting for McCain," do you mean

rocketing a snot in his general direction?

If so, yes.

[senseandsensibility]

22. ?

Sounds funny, but what does it mean?

[YDogg]

35. snot rocket

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0qgy-6P8pQ

[senseandsensibility]

64. I actually clicked on you link

but when I saw where it was going, I chickened out. So I guess I'll have to use my imagination, or not.

[BuyingThyme]

36. It's just rude, silly and uncalled-for nonsense.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snot_rocket

[senseandsensibility]

65. Okay, there's always room for that.

But I refuse to watch that link above.

[BuyingThyme]

68. Fortunately, I cannot stream from this computer,

so I will not be watching either.

[IsItJustMe]

24. I will

not vote for his sorry old ass.

[RichardRay]

37. By the time there are few enough people on the face of the earth

to get me to vote for McCain there will be few enough that governments will no longer be required to manage the simple allocations that remain to be made nor have the resources to serve their other purposes.

Or, in shorter terms, no.

[Raine]

45. Anyone who does needs their fucking ass kicked

straight into hell!!! :grr:

[pnorman]

54. Not me, but here's a Hillary-loyalist who obviously would:

pnorman

[wvbygod]

55. The last poll I saw had obama supporters voting mccain if hillary won

Has that changed? Why single out Hillary supporters?

[senseandsensibility]

66. Do you have a link?

I 've seen no such thing.

[wvbygod]

69. It was on msnbc TV news

no link but they may have it online.

[RBInMaine]

56. I'd see myself rot in hell before I'd for this WAR MONGER !!

[tyedyeto]

58. In polls here on DU.........

people have voted that they would vote McShame if Hillary is not the nominee, but they have not come out publically to say so. The admins know who they are ...... Get ready to be tombstoned you pieces of shit.

Not you sense but those others

[wvbygod]

70. 19 percent of Obama supporters who say they will favor McCain should Clinton be the party’s nominee.

You may want to clean your own house before doth protesting too much.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/27/clinton-tells-democrats-dont-vote-for-mccain/

[Whisp]

59. I vote for McCain being Obama's roadkill.

Barack will flatten him.

this is one execution I want a front seat to.
it's like putting up Steven Hawkings against George Jr.
