What people are missing about the Cheney debate!
It is always brought up that Bush and his handlers are thinking about or will "DUMP" Cheney. Cheney will not be "DUMPED". Instead it will be a staged, theatrical event were his ticker as told by his doctor is ready to fail. It will be the doctors advice for his health and life sake to remove himself from all stressful situations, aka, VP.

They then have the adavntage to say the man could die if he continues and they get their much hoped for shot in the arm with a McCain or Giuliani ticket.

I think its almost 100%, Cheney will not be there come November, as much as I want that Repuke Nazi to stay in!

3. When prodded to run for president
It wife made it pretty clear she would rather die than have that much public scrutiny. But who knows, that was back in 96.

8. I don't see McCain, Guiliani or Powell...
...going anywhere near Shrub in this election.

If Potty Mouth goes, his replacement will be some other RW shill who has no reputation left. Zell Miller?

11. Norm Coleman or Rick Santorum comes to mind.
There are no good options for Bush. Die with Cheney, die with _____________.

2. I think you are right on...
Some way, some how, Cheney will be dropped from the ticket.

They will try and do everything in their power to make it look like the reason he is dumped has to do with his health or "family" obligations....

I hope the American people can see through this garbage like we can.

5. Alas...
you could hope that frogs could grow wings so they don't bump their asses when they hop and have just as much luck of it happening.

6. I always figured that Cheney


was really the Prez. anyway. So why dump him? He's calling the shots here, and that includes the decision on his own sacking. Think he'd do that?

I don't.

7. The only way for Cheney to go
Is for the electorate to VOTE him out! After all - he is the puppetmaster - and Bush is nothing without Cheney. Recall the 911 commission and the simple fact that they had to testify together......

10. Conservative group already said they.....
they didn't even want Giuliano to speak at their convention. He is not conservative enough and supports women's rights. They forgot to mention that Giuliano is an adulterous.

Conservatives don't want McCain. He fathers a black child.

Cheney has to be the one and only for them. Cheney is so ugly but looks pretty good wearing his white wizard hood.
