McCain's true top veep choices: Jeb and Mel?

That's the rumor Time Magazine's Joe Klein is spreading. Although Klein,  of Primary Colors fame, admits he's not sure it's true.

But Klein reports that he's heard that McCain is frustrated he can't go with his top three choices, among them: Gov. Jeb Bush, whose last name makes him unapproachable, and Sen. Mel Martinez whose Cuban birth place make him ineligible. Read about it here.

[McBush]

I would love to have the largest Democratic Party landslide in history in November.

So, please let McCain pick Jeb Bush as VP. The brother of the worst President in American history.

7:49 - You don't know much about history.

Tom Ridge would be a better choice.

OK 8:03 - who do you think is worse than old #43 - and why.

Let's see how much YOU know about history.

Jimmy Carter.

[Rick]

Carter didn't get us stuck in a 100 year nation building project costing taxpayers billions and billions of dollars and costing the lives of thousands of brave soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians. The biggest foreign policy disaster in US history and you're still pissed that we skipped the Olympics? Give me a break.

[jaguar]

Um, if Senator Martinez isn't eligible to hold the office, then how is he on anybody's list for VP?
And yes, Jimmy Carter (Mr. Malaise) is not only America's worst President, he is America's worst ex-President.
Hey Jimmah, I heah thar's a new Left-wing thug in Lateen-Americuh who needs to steal an election. Reckon you can go hep em?

Compare the economic "misery index" under Carter and Bush. Carter's was worse by a mile! If Carter was President, Iraq would be occupying Washington D.C. right now.

So, if you want a preview of the U.S. under Obama, look no further than the Carter Administration.

Disaster royale.

[terminator]

is that the Jebster putting devil horns on his Cuban buddy Mel?

Obama > Carter in setting back the nation.

We don't want this:

Obama = Socialitist = Bad for America

If you believe Jimmy Carter was a worse President than George Bush, you must believe in fairy tales.

Jimmy Carter didn't get us is a war in the wrong place for the wrong reasons. And if we'd actually listened to Jimmy Carter, we wouldn't be in the energy mess that we are in today.

Jimmy Carter didn't take a budget surplus and turn it into the huge deficit we face today. In fact, Carter followed eight years of failed Republicans (Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford) and inherited quite a mess - exactly the opposite of what George Bush inherited.

Uh-no...Nixon was in the midst of cleaning up the "war" that the democrats fumbled. His heart was in the right place to clean up the Dems mess and he made a mistake.

The NATION COULDN'T WAIT FOR Carter to GET OUT. Inflation was in the HIGH double digits, gas was rationed, the deficit was quickly increasing, borrowing rates were astronomical, and Iran had our hostages for more than a year. That's only pary of it!

Carter begged the American public on national TV to help him out of the mess. He almost fired his whole cabinet!

Carter was AWFUL, the WORST, and Obama would be worse than that!

[McCain Toad = Ignorant = "Majority of 1"]

Toady, your endless blathering about Carter is just as pointless and obtuse as your ignorant insistence that the 2006 Congress clean up the mess your buttboy GW has left us in.

What would they call the ticket?

BUSH/BUSH IN '08?

[McCain and Bush together to the bitter end.]

Bush is responsible for four thousand one hundred and four deaths of US soldiers...4,104 and counting.

Carter started NO WARS and is NOT responsible for thousands of our soldiers deaths...there is absolutely no comparison to how utterly awful a human being George Bush is.

McCain is going to continue George Bush's terrible War and more young men and women will die.

[Obama Toad = Ignorant = "Majority of 1"]

Obama Toady, your endless blathering about Bush is just as pointless and obtuse as your ignorant insistence that Carter was a good President.

The 2006 Democrat led Congree Sucks, Carter Sucked and Obama Will Suck!!

And the Obama Toady sucks his mommie!

Carter was AWFUL, the WORST, and Obama would be worse than that!

You Obamabots better git Big Brown drilling before he gets drilled in November.

Hey, Obama Weasel how about some more of those gay videos with your Messiah in the starring role. Really great stuff.

See the Italians have come out with a line of Obama clothing that is big with the Milan gay community. Oh, this Obama is so popular overseas. There is also a Muslim line being planned.

[Dres]

I love to liste to Floridians talk about Politics... the 40th Poorest state in the nation... the one that cant even count everyone's vote. How is it that we have the most tourism in all of the US yet has one of the poorest states... mmm mabye cause it is run by republicans! You Conservatives are nothing but doormats to Corporate America.

11:32 where did you get your college degree at? You have such great insight... Moron

[Newt's Man in Florida]

Obama is copying Newt's line on energy but with a different twist:

Drill There

Drill Later

Pay More

Yep, he's such an agent of change. Sounds like the Democrat policy for the last 50 years!

Let's be sure we don't get another clown in the White House. Just say NO to Obama!

11:41

You clown Obama doesnt want to drill. That is McCain that wants to drill.... Another out of touch voter

Mel Martinez is by far the weakest Republican in the US Senate in 2010. He'd better be woried about his own seat.

11:40--Oh Great Obama Lover.

I'll give you the one on the Messiah's Muslim line tomorrow. Come back then.

I bet you would look good in some of the gay garb from Milan. Or better yet in a Muslim outfit!

P.S.: I graduated from Harvard with Obama and his wife. We smoked some weed together and shot up and snorted a few. What a life!!

11:49

Harvard? Nice you seem so smart... i knew it..... Corporate American owns you brother.

All talk and no action. What has Obama actually done? How will he make all these changes?

Explain rather than cut and paste and give specifics, please.

12:01

Any Questions/stance on certain policies are all answered on Obama's website.

They are answered in full detail about Obama's plan. www.barackobama.com anything you need to know is there.

Also, you say he is all talk no action is not true. He was president of the Harvard Law Review. With a credential such as this, he could have joined any Multi-million dollar law firm he wanted in America. Instead he went into the souht side of chicago and helped rebuild it to a better community. (South side of chicago is one of the poorest areas in this country. That is aciton that is change we can believe in!

12:09

FAIL...Just like Obama and his policies.

Obama = SOCIALIST = Bad for America.

Thanks for playing.

Obama = SOCIALIST = Bad for America.

Why is the Dollar at an all time low in the last 25 years? Why is Unemployment at an all time high in the last 25 years? Why are we in war that has no end in sight? Why is it that we are in a recession right now?

McCain= inadequet=horrible for our economy=more of the same situation as we are in now = FAILURE

What's obama done?

...crickets...

What's he going to do?

Change!

What's that mean? Give me specifics...

...crickets...

NEXT.

Obama = Socialist = BAD FOR AMERICA.

What did Linclon do before becoming president?
Crickets...

What did JFK do before becoming president?

Crickets...

You want to know how he is going to bring about change? Go do your research... it is your responsibility to be an informed voter because a vote is a terrible thing to waste

NEXT

McCain = more of the same = Failure

[McCain lobbyist/advisor wants another 911 attack]

"A top adviser to John McCain said another terrorist attack on U.S. soil would be a "big advantage" for the Republican presidential candidate.

Charlie Black, already in the spotlight for his past lobbying work, is quoted in the upcoming July 7 edition of Fortune magazine as saying such an attack "certainly would be a big advantage to McCain."

The McCain advisor was quoted as saying a September 11-type attack before the November election would benefit McCain.

The campaign of Democrat Barack Obama condemned the remark by McCain political adviser Charlie Black, calling it a "complete disgrace."

[John Ellis Bubba!]

Suck it, Chuck!

[Jim]

JFK had lots of sex before he became president. His nickname in the senate was mattress Jack. That's Omama's big leader and he can have him.

He's been the most liberal senator in he short time he's been in office. The MOST LIBERAL in 2007.

Government controlled programs don't work.

Look at Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. There's been a demcoratic majority for most of the last 60 years and they haven't gotten it done. As a matter of fact, they set us back in the 60s and 70s with programs and the non-war war.

Clinton destroyed the military and enabled our enemies to set up and carry off the bombings of 1993, 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2001 (9/11). He also left Bush with a recession and the dotcom bust.

Liberals have been trying to scare the public with fear, despair, and anxiety for 60 years to keep their socialist programs in tact.

Obama is the WORST liberal. He's Carter on steroids.

Obama>Carter setting the nation back.

You tool! you put Obama >Carter aka Obama is greater than Carter and i know you were trying to say he is going to be worse than carter... You are a complete idiot. I would teach a thing or two about why he is rated the Most Liberal person in congress but it involves math which you have proved you cant do even elementry level math. You are a product of a horrible school system one of which that has been overseen by a majority of Republican president through your lifetime... you are proof of why this nation needs change... go back to school and help this country get better. Politics is way over your head.

[Another 911 would help us, says McCain Adviser]

A top adviser to John McCain said another terrorist attack on U.S. soil would be a "big advantage" for the Republican presidential candidate.

Charlie Black, already in the spotlight for his past lobbying work, is quoted in the upcoming July 7 edition of Fortune magazine as saying such an attack "certainly would be a big advantage to McCain."

The remarks caught McCain flat-footed on a day when he focused on energy issues — first in a speech, then at a town-hall meeting and then during a news conference as he stood beside two $100,000 electric cars. McCain offered $300 million to anyone who develops a revolutionary automobile battery, and he predicted such incentives would lower alternative energy costs.

Moments later, McCain was befuddled when reporters asked about Black's comments.

Obama=Socialist=Bad for America.
Obama>Carter setting the nation back.

[Jason Straight]

In a sign that Democrat Barack Obama will be competitive in the nation's largest swing state, he is beating Republican John McCain comfortably in South Florida and has a slight edge among Hispanics, according to a new Miami Herald poll.

Obama is ahead 46-30 percent over McCain in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties in the survey of 807 people conducted by Zogby International. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

''Obama's 16-point lead in South Florida could springboard him to make it a competitive race statewide,'' said pollster John Zogby. ``I really think Florida is in play.''

McCain needs to take care with his veep nomination. It's not a blow-off decision like it so often is (remember tomatoe Dan), because of McCain's age.

Jeb Bush would be the worst possible pick.

[Omega83]

Worst President Ever = tie between Andrew Johnson and Warren G. Harding.

A southern former slaveowner trying to lead Reconstruction in the wake of Civil War and assassination...

Or a corrupt spoils-king who sold of millions of acres of government land for oil speculators - in his own Cabinet.

I go with Warren G...had he not died in office, he'd have certainly gone to jail. Many economists also pint out his Administration policies led directly to the stock market crash in 1929.

Not far behind is James Buchanan, Ulysses S. Grant (though his battlefield success far outweighed his political acumen), Jimmuh Carter, and our W.

More Charlie Crist planted-stories. He wants to be VP so badly, he'll do anything to force McCain to choose him:

1) Get engaged;
2) plant silly stories about non-native born Americans for VP;
3) Put his own loyalists in top Florida McCain Campaign spots so they can soft pedal the campaign until Charlie gets the nod - with the threat that they will stop completely if he doesn't.

[Fred For Freedom]

Every fool knows that BUSH-es in any form is a ste into darkness. But old Mac is old himself- and he needs all the help he can get-including going into the Bushes--a place where "everything goes" and the law has no place. Select a Bush Mac-and insure your defeat.

Mel who?

[Buzzard]

Sad to say, but we'll be voting for veeps as much as we're voting for prez this time around. Lots of people worried about Obama's safety because of race. And McCain just doesn't look like he has stamina for the job. If he picks Jeb, I'd be REAL nervous about his health. I think da family would love to continue the monarchy.
