AMERICAblog: Who could be the next Dick Cheney?

  • justadood · 1 year ago
    Joe Lieberman?

    Can't rule him out, regardless of what he might have said. His ambition is as large as his principles are non-existent....

    Of the entire list, I think Thune is the most disagreeable for me. I've always felt bad leaning in that direction.

    He should pick Thune.

    if it's fred smith, mccain will be our next president, the results of the vote will not matter

    Say what you will about Louisiana, but politics is in our blood. We know. And Obama will be the next president. If there is a god, may he/she help him and his family. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I don't have enemies, it's just a saying here.

    Edwin Edwards getting re-elected while in jail and David Duke almost getting elected says it all. Well, unless you consider David Vitter and Bobby Jindal. Yep. Politics is in Louisiana's blood, along with graft, corruption, blackmail, dead female hookers and live boys in bed. Gotta love it. Voodou is the sprinkles on the donut.

    Looking at this list, I don't see anyone that would have a man sized safe or an itchy trigger finger. These men and women even seem to have functioning moral compasses and the ability to appear in daylight. New Cheney's my ass.

    Thune has an anvil shaped head and little eyes. He screams reptile. That's what the GOP needs more of.

    It feels nice being a fury democratic mammal despite it all. Ya know?

    Cheney's crime was being an activist VP, to borrow the right wing's language. Pawlenty is the guy who vetoed the infrastructure-repair bill and let the bridge fall down. So he's unlikely to overreach like Cheney--his crime is doing too little, not too much.

    So why couldn't Dick Cheney be the next Dick Cheney? I mean, evil's immortal, right? Dick and his fat little imp Karl run the country anyway, so why change things?

    Crist's questionnaire:

    Are you willing to humiliate myself by being tied to McCain? [ yes ]

    Are you enough of a toady that McCain will feel personally comfortable with you? [ yes ]

    Would you be willing to enter into a fake marriage if it "looks better" to the public? [ yes ]

    Is there a possibility that I will ever outshine McCain? [ heaven's no! ]

    Are you willing to wear a suit to the inaguration instead a ball gown and pearls?

    speaking of the DNC- does anyone know of a listing of DNC events that is out there?

    The best list for events during the DNC I've run across so far is at

    http://www.metrohikers.com/dnc_sign_up.html

    you need to do the free registration for the site, but the event list looks pretty decent and apparently it's updated daily.

    if there's anything else out there...please share!

    Don't forget Sarah Palin. She is the VP pick that I'm most worried about. She would electrify the wingnut base. She has a little scandal going but nothing that would be a distraction.

    Gov. Pawlenty was asked by Dick Cheney to step aside so Norm Coleman could run for the Senate against Paul Wellstone.

    Gov. Pawlenty thought so little of the transportation of the state that he had his Lt. Governor serve as both Lt. Governor and Transportation Commissioner to save a few bucks. Then the bridge fell, Democrats were elected a majority and fired her as Transportation Commissioner.

    Gov. Pawlenty promised the Taxpayers' League that he wouldn't under any circumstances raise taxes. Then Bill Cooper, CEO of TCF Financial and outspoken opponent of taxes, retired and took his loot to Florida, the land of no income taxes.

    Fiorina would flush away the vote of anyone who worked at HP. She's a walking justification for the glass ceiling, which chauvinist Repigs love.

    Why not Cheney? He's not legally restrained from serving again as VP.
    McThuselah, PleasePleasePlease pick Cheney.
