Don't rule out Cheney running with Mitt or Rudy. Remember the VP will not be

[CK_John]

known until the conventions, their convention is after ours. They are also next summer close to the election. They also need to pull off a stop the presses news buzz.

Before you all start screaming, "they will never do that". They will do that if they have to. They need to show they are tough and they are not afraid to make unpopular choices, to protect our oil.

Also there no term limits on this VP from running again. Please prepare for this and stop giving the GOP ammo to use against us.

1. I'd be delighted if they did, but it will never happen.

Cheney is the most disapproved of politician in America.

[CK_John]

7. Only on DU do you hear or see anything negative. I think 30% of the population

would be hard pressed to name the VP if asked. A Mitt/Cheney ticket would be nightmare.

[calteacherguy]

13. Yes, it would indeed be a nightmare for the Republicans ! nt

[CK_John]

14. I don't understand why you would think that. They love Cheney.

[L. Coyote]

2. Don't rule out Mitt or Rudy running as Cheney's VP either.

It is not to late for Dick to mount that white horse and ride to the rescue of Planet Earth,
to do his duty and save us all from evil by running for Pres. How can he not run?
He is just waiting until the last minute to avoid the negatives being given longer attention.

They made Thompson run just to make Dick look young and smart. :rofl: So, it seems a go to me!

[CK_John]

8. I've thought about that but his MO seems to be behind the scenes. But

their convention maybe wide open and I don't rule that out.

[robinlynne]

3. what ammo?

[kelliebrat]

4. That'll give me horrid nightmares tonite

I just found out it is possible to scream and throw up a little at the same time. :wow: :puke:

:scared: :scared: :scared:

[Bolo Boffin]

5. What would stop Lynne from being the veep choice?

Especially against Hillary.

[CK_John]

9. That might even be better, Dick could stay out sight and still run his Black Op's.

I just hear her speak on NPR. She can really handle an audience and I will move her onto my list along with J Roberts and Melinda Gates.

[BootinUp]

6. not a chance

Cheney is seen as a villain by a sufficient number of Americans they wouldn't dare. I have considered your argument though.

[knight_of_the_star]

10. I doubt it

But don't be surprised if Cheney gets some odd obscure appointment that allows him to still have a hand in things.

[CK_John]

12. Why are Mitt/Rudy running 1 and 2. This election will be the nastiest since the civil war.

[avrdream]

11. The thought just made me sick.

May the Universe help us if this comes true.

[beltanefauve]

15. More like

Jeb as VP, I'm afraid. Jeb's the "smart" one, and an original PNAC signatory, so their agenda will still continue with or without Cheney. Cheney,though, would probably still have a role behind the scenes, which seems to be what he already does anyhow. Look how many members of this administration are recycled criminals from Nixon, Reagan and Poppy. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

[CK_John]

16. I don't rule him out, but the chimp has ruined it for now, maybe 2012. n/t

17. As unlikely as...

Hillary asking Gore to be her VP.

[CK_John]

19. Which is not completely out of the question. n/t

[PhD]

20. Yes, it is

The Gores and Clintons despise each other.

[CK_John]

21. Ticket sharing has nothing to do with liking each other. n/t

[PhD]

36. True, but here's what Gore would say if Hillary asked

"Go to HELL!"

[Mongrelkoi]

18. We need another Tyrannt in office.

From Nixon to Fred Thompson. "They are not all Crooks" Yea Right

I'll tell you I would not vote for another republiklan as long as I live but Fred Thompson sure brings back memories of DieHard and other action packed movies.

We need the current cabinet and Fred (A new "Great Communicator" to replace Reagan")in order to continue on our path to global domination, that is before China comes over and collects all the land that we own for our debts to the Red Menace.

We conquer the world and then China Forecloses. I Like it!

:evilgrin:

22. Cheney's extraordinarily unpopular

Nobody's even going to want him to campaign for them, much less run on the same ticket with them.

[CK_John]

24. Except here at DU and a few selected sites, I don't see or hear any great

outpouring of displeasure with Cheney. On the RW circuit he is the most wanted speaker and fund raiser. I know he is evil, you know he is evil, DU knows he is evil, but I don't think the general public even knows he is the VP.

[MonkeyFunk]

25. His popularity ratings are very low

check the public polls.

And I thought you believed (inexplicably) that Melinda Gates was going to be the republican VP nominee?

[CK_John]

27. I haven't seen any such polls. I also have put Lynn Cheney and J Roberts on my RW list of VP's. n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

28. do you use

a random-name generator to pick your choices?

[CK_John]

30. No. I try to highlight what we are going to face Nov 08. This election is not going to be a cake

walk. No one else is acting like there will be a GE after the primaries.

[Rhythm and Blue]

23. That would be amazing for us. nt

[onenote]

26. I'm ruling it out. Its not going to happen.

In the general election, the repubs are going to be pretending chimpy and cheney don't exist.

[Catchawave]

29. Believe, that won't happen...the GOP can't even stand him now.

Huckabee will be the Veep choice. A Southern Governor is a must on a New England ticket.

Also, didn't Cheney just purchase a fine retirement home with his Halliburton Happy bucks in quaint St. Michael's MD ?

[CK_John]

32. He and Lynn just don't want to live in Blair House. n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

31. Is that constitutional?

Not that it matters, of course, to this bunch -- but aren't vice presidential terms limited like presidential terms? In other words, if he's not running for president, can he run for vice president again? This doesn't seem right.

[CK_John]

33. No limit on a VP who has not been Pres. He could also run for Pres. n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

35. Damn!

I guess we can always hope for a pacemaker failure. :evilgrin:

[MonkeyFunk]

34. Yes it's possible

there's no term limit on the VP.

But it's not going to happen.
