BASELESS RUMOR ?? McCain may keep Cheney as VP ?

[eppur_se_muova]

I'm pretty sure it's a completely baseless rumor, because I just made it up. But I was thinking, "Gosh, wouldn't it be awful if it were true!" Furthermore, what if someone else had the same idea? Would it still be baseless then? Maybe the best thing to do is do query everyone in my address book, and see what kind of discussion results. Just so long as no one anywhere ever gets confused and thinks there's some basis for it ...





















because that would be wrong.

1. that would be the death knell

cause as much as GW endorsment sucks for mcCain having cheney as VP would suck even more, have you seen his approval ratings?

[Bright Eyes]

2. Two old people who will probably both die within a month of obtaining office

Which would make the Speaker the new President, right?

3. When your country has been taken over by Neocon fascists...Nothing is beyond belief.

.... And I don't think Darth is ready to cede control of the Empire just yet.

9. Indeed--Darth has enjoyed his 8 years at the helm of "America: The Corporation." He's

done well for the 2% of the population Bush/Cheney represents. I worry he'll find some way to stay on the scene.

4. the only way I can see that happening is...

so that Condeleezza could just step in after hell freezes over and McCain gets elected.

5. I've heard that they have had meetings...

That's all I'm saying.

8. Bumper sticker would make a great gift item!

"Hey, I knew you would want one, so I put it on your car for you!"

13. I will have to design one. Here it is

[Generic Brad]

7. It's too early to worry about that happening

But if he names Cheney as the head of his VP candidate search committee, all bets are off.

10. LOL. What was that movie? Grumpy Old Men?

12. LOL! Thanks for reminding me! But we're missing Ann-Margaret!

11. Ummmmm....

14. Don't go giving McCain any ideas now. His ideas are already horrific enough! nt

[Jack Rabbit]

15. And he wants John Bolton for Secretary of State, does he?

Thanks for the straight talk, Senator. You can go now.

17. Though the Constitution expressly limits presidential terms...

It's not as clear on VP terms. But boy, you'd have the most unpopular Repub ticket in recent memory, maybe even more unpopular than Goldwater/Miller in '64. Were it to happen, Obama/whoever may win almost on the scale of LBJ/HHH that year. Which would likely mean a fillibuster-proof Senate (60+) and our biggest House majority since 1974.

Oh, well, a guy can dream, can't he?:eyes:

B-)

18. Dead and Deader for 2008.

That would be a great GOP campaign slogan!

[alfredo]

19. I think it would be a dream ticket.
