RWingnut - Stars Aligned For Bush-McCain Ticket?

In 2000 at this time in the primary season, George W. Bush vanquished his rival Sen. John McCain. Four years later, the tables have turned and six Democrat presidential candidates are struggling to slow Sen. John Kerry's massive momentum. While talk of a Kerry-John Edwards ticket is widespread, few people are considering who should be President's Bush running mate.v

On January 27, however, MSNBC.com columnist Jeannette Walls broke the silence, reporting that President Bush would replace Vice President Dick Cheney and that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was the frontrunner. A White House source then quelled at least part of the rumor, telling the New York Daily News, "Let's think about this. The president is going to shore up his conservative base by dumping a guy who's wildly popular with the base and replacing him with a guy who's pro-choice, a loose cannon and has no foreign policy experience?" Well, how about a guy who's pro-life, only a slightly loose cannon, and has extensive foreign policy experience?

That man is John McCain. With the latest Newsweek poll showing Bush behind Kerry, the President should reach out to his former rival who energetically campaigned for him during the 2004 New Hampshire primary.

Before examining how McCain so perfectly fits the bill, let's acknowledge that Cheney has been a great Vice President. Despite suffering from a heart condition that could make nearly a year of non-stop campaigning daunting, Cheney has been remarkably effective, particularly on foreign policy. Indeed, the power of his ideas and the degree of his influence are precisely why he is so loathed by liberals.

1. There may be something to that, or not...

I don't know, because when I looked up the article and saw what self-righteous, wrapping-themselves-in-the-flag a**holes are on that site, I immediately ran away. Hell, the banner at the top of their page says it all!

2. It is cast ~ Bush* / McCain

We better learn to deal with it. It is a Ticket to be Reckoned with. It is the only one that could spell victory for them at this stage and believe me they are going to jump on it. The only thing that could dampen it is McCain's cancer.

4. would that be the reason

why McCain is so convinced that * did not manipulate intelligence on Iraq and is on the commission to make sure the american public doesn't think so either?

6. How would McCain being on the ticket 'spell victory' for Bush?

?

3. NO WAY

Freeptards/Luciferanne-bots despise McCain with a passion. They adore Rudy though, even if he is "liberal."

5. What's up with this?

On the left side of their banner they have a link to the RNC and ask readers to send contributions to Bush*. On the right side of their banner they have a link to an unofficial John Edwards site.
Do you think that is because the site exposes all of the other democratic candidates' "weaknesses?"
