Would John McCain be a good President? Who should be his Vice President?

Answer 1

IMHO he would make a better Sec Def, but would be a reasonably good President. I hope he would pick a running mate who would be readty to step in if needed. I don't have any one particular in mind.

Answer 2

McCain is a disaster as a Senator. His POW status got him elected, but his political loyalties are too well rooted within the Corporate interest. His wife is the owner of a large beverage distribution plant in AZ, he's another millionaire looking out for the haves and have mores. The minute he flip flopped on the enemy combatants bill--his true colors and credibility were desecrated.

I'm thinking it's more than obvious that his V.P. would most certainly be his flip flopping Independent counterpart--Liebermann

Answer 3

No he is part of the problem , not to be trusted...he is bought and paid for just like Bush.

Just about everyone except for two people... George W. Bush, who arrogantly insists on "staying the course" because he won't admit he made a mistake, and John McCain who thinks that the answer lies in sending in MORE troops. I'm assuming that he feels the U.S. can control the region under Martial Law with a massive force of strength. And once the country is stabilized, then law & order & Democracy can simply take its course. Just like that. And if I believed that, I'd probably also believe that Britney Spears will win Mother-of-the-Year, Wife-of-the-Year, AND Entertainer-of-the-Year all in the same year!

Clearly, Mr. McCain just doesn't get it. He thinks (just like Bush) that setting a deadline (i.e. timetable) sends a 'wait-it-out' message to our enemies. This is the argument that Bush has been using to keep us in Iraq... indefinately. However, the message a deadline/timetable would REALLY send to the Iraqi people is that we don't intend to forever occupy THEIR country. As long as we're there, we're targets.

If we elect John McCain in '08, it'll be more of the same – staying the course and perpetuating the conflict. To some short-sighted / arrogant politicians it doesn't really matter how many innocent people die from our mistakes, as long as the military-industrial-complex continues to thrive.

Answer 4

I think McCain is a bit flip floppy but he is a stout American. He wouldn't be a bad one. I think if McCain and Giuliani got on the same ticket they would seal the next 4 years for the Republicans. That may be way to much testosterone in office. They both have alot to offer this country...

Answer 5

No way. He is pro gun control and basically a liberal. We need someone who supports freedom and smaller government. McCain has been part of the Senate that supported a 40% increase in discretionary spending the last 10 years. The Republican senate has been destroying the US with excess regulations on the backs of teachers that makes their work harder.

Answer 6

I'm afraid not. I have serious concerns for McCain's mental health. I think he is suffering from some form of post-traumatic stress syndrome from his years as a POW. This doesn't affect him every hour of every day, but it does affect him and his judgement. I wholeheartedly salute his sacrifices for our country, but I think it left a very deep mark on him that makes his abilities to serve as our president highly questionable.

Answer 7

Mentally McCain is not up for the job, He Broke down and Cryed when he ran against bush.
If he does run, he will drop out

Answer 8

Good grief! Absolutely not. He would open upp our borders with Mexico even more. And your thought of him secting a running mate is ridiculous.

A good candidate for the Reps would be Tom Tancredo. He is pro U.S.A all the way.

Answer 9

He doesn't stand a chance of being elected, so the V.P. part is moot, that's my opinion.

Answer 10

No i don't think he would..
