Prediction: Cheney will attempt a coup

[smoogatz]

After the 2006 elections, he'll move to throw Bush to the wolves, either through impeachment or other means. Cheney wants it all, and he know he's unelectable. Watch for it.

1. yet another coup, you mean

the next in a series. :-(

[smoogatz]

4. Exactly. He's already done it twice--in '00 and '04.

What's to stop him from doing it again? Cheney doesn't give a rat's ass about democracy, electoral politics or his own popularity. If he ascends to the presidency, even the pretense of the US as a democracy goes out the window.

[cliss]

10. I wonder. The facts are out.....

Cheney has an unbelievably low approval rating. The last figure I saw was 19%. People don't like him. In fact, they are repulsed by the man.

And look at him. He's fat, ugly doesn't begin to describe him. He has a perpetual sneer, and we all know who he really serves, 24/7. During his latest trip to Iraq, Cheney said, "I'm not Jessica Simpson = meaning, I'm not well-liked, I'm not popular, and I'm certainly not good looking".

Cheney knows he had a 0% chance of getting elected on his own. So he used Bush as his cover.

My prediction: people will not stand for it.

2. Prediction: Cheney will not be impeached for his successful past coup

[Maggie_May]

3. What a scary picture

I never thought of that. Cheney is no dummy you could be right if Bush is impeached Cheney would be the president. Watch out what you wish for people.

5. Cheney's the real pResident now.

So what's the difference?

[Jane Austin]

9. The difference is

the ability to issue Executive Orders.

That's where Bush has done much of his damage.

6. Maybe he'll die.

He's obviously overweight and out of shape, and there is that heart problem. Or is he the undead, and we're stuck with him?

11. Say hello to Agent Mike from the NSA

Hey - Are we allowed to wish for the demise of Dick ???

What would the republican thought-police do.... what can they do?

Not wanting to instill caution... just asking... in fact we should all freely
express our thoughts on how the VP might expire.... in lavish detail.

7. No.

Just my opinion.

[sam sarrha]

8. Cheney isn't a Point man.. he orders the legs broken behind the curtain

[RufusEarl]

12. You might be on to something

Bush gets impeached, Cheney becomes president, Cheney declares marshal law and becomes King of USA. Of course you know we're just giving Cheney idea's right!

[sam sarrha]

16. these guys stay up all night jerking off and thinking up ways to take over

[TankLV]

22. Pinky and the Brain Brain Brain Brain, Pinky and the Brain....

[neweurope]

13. Martial law first, I'd think.

They aren't so far away from it. Then he'll throw Bush to the wolves.

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[leftofthedial]

14. not another one?

[tigereye]

15. you can't be serious

[smoogatz]

18. Of course I can.

It'll be done on the sly, through leaks and intimidation. Bush is drinking again, Bush is losing it, Bush is crazy--remember when those stories hit the tabloids? Where do you think they came from? How about some juicy scandal to go with it? If Bush is impeached, Cheney will be the catalyst/architect.

[tigereye]

21. Bush is not going to be impeached

Not with this Congress. This isn't 1974.

If not for Bush, Cheney would still be sitting behind his big desk at Halliburton, or whatever that company was....

[smoogatz]

23. After 2006. Look at the original post.

And if things get bad enough, even this congress could impeach him.

[warrior1]

17. I think they've all ready done this.

[Rene]

19. We need Cheney's resignation. then a good VP appointed..then

IMPEACH B U S H.
Step 1)prosecute Cheney and/or get him to resign. Step 2) Appoint a decent Vice President....Step 3) Impeach Bush and Step 4) New VP becomes Pres and appoints another decent VP.....all before the 2006 elections.

[AntiCoup2K4]

26. The fatal flaw in that scenario is.....

...how could you possibly expect Chimp to appoint a "decent" Vice President. Hell, in 2000 Cheney was the guy who was supposed to find one, and he appointed himself!

You would have to have SERIOUS pressure coming from within the Republican party itself to have Junior appoint anyone who wasn't another old guard BCE/PNAC criminal. Not impossible, but highly unlikely in the current climate where even some so called "Democrats" are afraid to oppose these pieces of shit.

Now purely hyopethical, let's say that pressure did exist and Junior picked McCain as VP, Junior is then Chimpeached and McCain picks Chuck Hagel as his new VP. Good news is you now have a slightly better crew than the Bush Criminal Empire. Bad news is they just became the incumbents with an inside track to 2008. With one of them having friends in the electro-fraud voting business, no less.

20. That's like Edgar Bergen attempting a coup against ...

... Charlie McCarthy.

[RJnAbbysNana]

28. Or Charlie McCarthy . . . . . . . . . .

against Mortimer Snerd! (Or am I the only one here who's old enough to remember Mortimer?)

24. I doubt it

His approval rating in lower than Hitler's. He can do way more damage hiding in his bunker.

[Mz Pip]

25. I don't think he has to

All that needs to happen is for BushCo to run a Cheney clone in 2008. No need for a messy coup which would just call too much attention to them anyway.

Pick a like minded candidate and Swiftboat whoever the Dems run. It's worked for them before.

27. What, against himself?

29. Nothing in the world surprises me at this point.
