What sort of Republican would WANT to be VP if Cheney drops out?
Edited on Mon Mar-15-04 06:25 PM by JanMichael
I mean look, Bush is a dangerous fanatic on par with none America has ever witnessed, so who would want to be mentioned with him in history books...Forever?

DeLay? Sure, he's a Christian Reconstructionist.

Frist? Sure, he's another dangerous fanatic.

Jeb? Oooh yeah, he's Bush*2 IMHO.

But I hear Rudy G. getting mentioned, and I never figured him for a bloodthirsty fascist end-timing millenialist theocrat, what am I missing?

edited by wife for spelling.

1. You could do worse than Rudy.
But he's still a 'pug.

3. If you reside in the fascist party and revel among these
animals you are no different. He is slime just like the shrub.

4. Keep Cheney - he helps the ticket (the democratic ticket)
W/o Cheney I'd have to remove my "Bush/Cheated" bumper sticker'

5. Delay wouldn't want
to give up the power he has in the house...so I doubt if he would want the job.

I think Santorum would lobby hard for the job.

Frist would be very possible.

6. Is there anything in the Constitution...

That would block brothers from holding the POTUS & VPOTUS positions?

Why didn't JFK offer it to Bobby?

9. Right now the parties fate is in bush's hand, so repubs have no choice
Even an administration as extreme as this one wont take politicians eyes off the party.

11. Frist would do it in a heartbeat.

12. Any ambitious, soulless scum like Santorum or Voinovich.
Should Shrub get elected, the VP would almost certainly be the Repug nominee in 2008. Even if Shrub loses, the VP selection would be in a strong position.
