What about a McCain/Ventura Reform Party ticket?
- Thread starter Allen_Raiford
- Start date
I think it would go about a foot and a half.
McCain isn't going to leave the Republican Party. He'll try to wrest out of Bush as many concessions as possible on campaign finance.
But, in the end, he'll be going back to the Senate and he'd lose all of his power if he deserted the party.
Besides, combine McCain's remarks about Jerry
Falwell with Ventura's comments about religion being for the weak-minded, and the only votes they'd get would be from atheists.

Hey, it was just a thought, seeing as how the polls show McCain getting about 25% in a 3 way between a Gore, Bush, and McCain race.
Ventura's popularity should add some to that.
Since they are both pro-gun, It might not be a bad choice.

The Manchurian Candidate can go back to the Senate. Jesse can stay Gov of Minn. Neither one is what I see as a real pro-gunner. Jesse said he supported CCW, but still no action. McCain has made statements that I find to be socialist and statist, and I for one would rather have Gore, because I know what he is.

Ventura is no longer a member of the Reform Party. They had a vicious series of squabbles, and he bolted, and told them to "stuff it".
And the reason for no action on CCW is that the Republicrats in the state house don't see the Guv as a political power, so they essentially told HIM to "stuff it".

Before you call McCain "pro-gun" visit his website and see his desire to ban junk guns, his plans for fingerprint-reading smart guns, and recall that he saved the Lautenberg amendment. McCain has been on both sides of too many issues.
Unite against Gore. Elect Bush.

I hope NOBODY thinks Ventura is pro-gun in action. He is a blatant liberal democrat type in sheeps clothing. He never saw a tax dollar he didn't want to spend and he talks pro-gun but us Minnesota types know better. ALL talk. Ventura and Gore had a meeting this weekend and dressed alike right down to the cowboy boots.

IMHO, to be frank, I think this is, well ... a crazy concept.
I don't think these guys have much in common, although perhaps I'm giving Ventura too much credit.
For everyone that thinks McCain is some kind of freedom-loving Republican, all I can say is we should watch what he does in the Senate from here on out. I agree - I think Senator McCain has become a statist, and I don't believe he is much of an RKBA-supporter these days. We'll see.

McCain is a man of surpassing integrity. His support for the Second Amendment is clear and strong. Bush cannot win with out the McCain voters, so there will be a positive Bush Campaign Finance Reform position.
If Bush does not win in 2000, McCain is the best choice for us in 2004.

McCain would have won.
Bush is a pansy and will lose.
Say hello to Gore.

This is a man that unilaterally vowed to not campaign negatively and also vowed to never lie to the American people.
Next thing we hear, he's denying that his campaign made the calls accusing Bush of anti-Catholic bigotry or distributed the negative flyers that Bush waved at him during one of the debates. Subsequently he does, in fact, admit that his campaign is responsible for both of those actions.
That is not integrity.
