After all, he's got tons. We could start a "Draft Cheney" movement, complete with spiffy website. A few good email campaigns might do the trick.

Or, hey, how 'bout a third term for Bush? Who'd have more relevant experience for running the White House in 2009 than the guy who just did it in 2008?

1. Pretty sure you need to be human to run for President.

2. Well, McCain would be *almost* like a bush third term.
With a bonus of the "extra crazy" that happens to a man when he is tortured for five years instead of being drunk on his butt for 20, as the current POS occupant was.

3. Experience doesn't matter. Hence: Obama.
Nice phishing post, FT.

4. "experience" = antiquated divisive bellicose war mongering ideology

6. McCain has more experience than Hillary and Obama combined
And if he taps Condaliar Rice for his VP, you can't get much more experienced than that. Just sayin'.

7. I wouldn't support Cheney because he's a criminal and I am at odds with his politics.
Edited on Wed Apr-09-08 08:29 AM by Buzz Clik
Despite his experience.

9. That's why I'm glad that James Buchanan won in 1856
Because he was the most experienced candidate.
