Bush's running mate

BereanatHeart · 02-27-2004, 11:55 PM

Should Bush run with Cheney again? If not who do you suggest?

God's Jedi · 02-27-2004, 11:57 PM

He better. Let's all pitch in and buy a new heart so Cheney will be around long enough to keep Bush out of *more* trouble.

Ron Paul! Then I can kill the president! (That's a joke, CIA agent who is reading this post!)

How did you know I was a CIA agent?

Has Cheney really done anything? I haven't heard him mentioned til now since... 9/11.

BereanatHeart · 03-01-2004, 08:29 PM

He's done a lot of hiding in camp David, gotten a few heart attacks, you know the stuff a good V.P. does.

What do you guys think of Condelliza Rice as the V.P.? That would make the race a little bit more interesting.

in case any body was wondering, Cheney will be Bush's running mate again this year.

I think it would be quite interesting to see someone else as his running mate... potentially a great thing... but since it isn't going to happen, I won't bother putting any thought into it.

More money for halliburton...

anyways, i dont really care, although i think bush should choose a potential VP who isnt going to have as many health problems...

Of course Cheney will be V.P. Everyone knows it's really Cheney that dictates all of the policy out of the White House with the sole intention of making Halliburton rich. Why this isn't obvious to all but us Liberal elite I can't guess.

If Cheney weren't going to be the man, I would want Condoleeza Rice as VP. I hope she runs in '08. I really hope to learn more about her, because it would be awesome if she ran as a VP, and then ran for Pres. in '16.

Colin Powell (a terribly qualified individual) is probably not electable because he's black.

Hillary Clinton (another terribly qualified individual) is probably not electable because she's a woman.

But you want Rice (an arguably qualified individual) to run as a black woman? Well, if you want to give the Dem's a win... go for it.

Terribly qualified? Does that mean unqualified, or so very qualified, it's almost terrible! Either way, maybe you could PM and let me know why you think what you do about each "candidate"... (especially if you happen to be anti-Hillary, that would really make me curious.) Thanks... D

I disagree. People said the same thing about Clinton because of his Arkansas heritage, and about GWB because of his dubious youth.

I disagree. She isn't electable because she's so hateful and vitriolic, and much too liberal for the general populace.

LOL! We'll see, Jerry. If she were VP first, I think she would be electable.

I think your wrong, Powell is one of the most respected men in government. If he's unelectable it's because his views on abortion aren't pro-life enough to secure strong support from the conservative base to get the nomination or not be robbed by a third party candidate. (see Dole and Bush Sr.'s losses)

Hillary is unelectable because she's extremely polarizing and too liberal. Being a woman might actually help her. It's also possible that she would be running against Condoleeza Rice or Kay Bailey Hutchinson so the point would be moot.

When you said terribly qualified did you mean very qualified or hardly qualified?

Anyway, Rice is pretty respected, could gain moderate, minority, and women votes (demographics that would really help Republicans) and is well liked by the conservative base. She could be a high caliber candidate in the future but it looks like she might have to compete with Rudy Guiliani, Hutchinson, or McCain in the future.
