Hell, though. Maybe it'd help patch up the huge divide that exists in the country today. [ 03-10-2004: Message edited by: Zair ]

Im not sure about that, I know plenty of democrats who said they wuldve prefered McCain over Bush, and crossing parties might get enough votes to beat Bush.
His anti-abortion stance is what would lose the democrats vote en masse.

Yeah, what Mod said. Dems would prefer McCain over Bush, but not necessarily McCain over a Democrat.

ROFL, I missed the part where it said he said that while being interviewed on illegal steroids.
Kerry-McCain would be awesome. I'm already gonna be voting for Kerry anyway though, looks like (I get to vote this time around, holy shit).
Although, thinking about it I feel kind of like an uninformed voter. I mean, I get most of my news about politics piped in through random articles like this on EC, so I'm probably slightly better off than the average Joe, but still.

I'm curious why you think McCain is a whore. I'm pretty damn liberal if I do say so myself, however, I've always respected (and seriously considered voting for) only two Republicans, McCain and Powell.
McCain spent years in a Vietnamese POW camp for his country. He at least attempted to clean up politics with the McCain-Feingold bill. I'm curious as to why you dislike him. [ 03-10-2004: Message edited by: Emil ]

Worse than that, he's a flaming hypocrite.
McCain's been known to hit the tables here in Vegas and gamble. Certainly nothing wrong with that, it's how we earn our living here, after all. He doesn't bet Bill Bennett type numbers, but then, who does.
The part that gets a lot of people's Jockey's in a twist (me included) is that, for the past several years, he has aggresively pushed in the Senate to pass a bill outlawing betting on sporting events.
There's only one place in the country that you can legally do that. Here. In Nevada. You want to blow your Social Security check on the blackjack table? No problem. Want to lose the kid's college fund playing video poker? Go crazy. But God forbid you put down $20 when your college alma mater is playing their big rival. Never mind that illegal sports wagering exists in every state and that the amount wagered illegally is many times the amount wagered legally in sports books. Never mind that in the past legal sports books have tipped off authorities to attempts to shave points or fix games because the books noticed strange betting patterns or changes in the point spread. And of course, if you outlaw legal sports betting in Nevada, that means all sports betting everywhere will stop and sports will suddenly become pure and innocent.
Ha! What a bunch of horseshit.
Then I learned more about him, and I have come to the conclusion that he is a total meatbag.
Do a little reading on the internet about how he gave up information while he was a POW in exchange for better accomodations.
Or, how he lied to the Gay and Lesbian community.
He is a meatbag.

Politicians are dishonest. They flip-flop, they spend money, they lie. People think that the candidates should be more than human. Above that sort of thing. People are wrong. You cannot fight your base instincts. It's ridiculous to expect that degree from anyone.
Furthermore, yes, they pander to their voters. That's how they get votes. This is simplistic logic that seems to escape you. People like to be flattered. People put people into power who pander to them.
And Parce - I'm allowed to be idealistic. I don't care for being pandered too, and it sickens me to watch others allow it to happen.

I always thought that Bush stole the nomination from McCain anyway. I would have voted for McCain but wouldn't vote for bush if he was the last candidate on earth.
I endorse this.

You can in fact fight your basic instincts, that's why you're currently in front of a computer and not out in the jungle, eating ants. Politicians are dishonest because the public does not care about honesty and cares more about appeals to emotion and thus elects dishonest people.

Good point...Though sometimes I'm not so sure we have control over our basic inticints and emotions, look at what most people watch on tv, people eating bugs, or other people liviing with people eating bugs. 
Anyway, I had forgotten about McCain's pro-abortion stance. Personal opinions aside, I still say Kerry would have a hell of a better chance to get into office with McCain as a running mate.

No one that I know of is pro-abortion.
How about Pro-choice there?
