I BEG OF YOU - NO MORE POSTING POTENTIAL RETHUGLICAN VP CANDIDATES

[Hawkeye-X]

AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED - ALL REPUBLICANS ARE HEREBY DISQUALIFIED AND YOU DU'ERS NEEDS TO STOP ANALYZING REPUBLICANS VP CANDIDATES.

THAT MEANS NO HAGEL, POWELL, OR ANY OTHER BRILLIANT IDEAS FOR RETHUGLICANS.

THEY DO NOT DESERVE ANY POSITION EXCEPT FOR DOGCATCHER AT 1¢ A DAY.

THANK YOU.

:rant:

(/rant over)

[Alexander]

1. Agreed.

Obama needs someone he can trust on the ticket.

[rurallib]

2. there goes my Obama - McCain idea.

[gateley]

4. Bwah! nt

:rofl:

[Renew Deal]

10. Don't joke. It could happen.

Start at 269-269 and go from there. :)

[CK_John]

21. At a tie, the House elects the president with each state having 1 vote and the Senate

elects the VP. This would be the current Congress and I believe the REP controls the most states so it would be a REP President and VP (iffy because of 2 IND).

[Peacetrain]

19. ROFLMBO!

Whew glad we cleared that one up:rofl:

[polmaven]

22. Whaddya mean Obama - McCain??

I was thinkin more like Obama - Bush....Doncha think?

Eeewww...That thought just made me literally shudder!

[1Hippiechick]

25. LOL...I had wondered if that could actually happen....guess ppl would be dumbstruck..but not in here

- there would be some who would write an epistle about it. LOL

[polichick]

3. It's not even that they don't deserve it - but a Rep. veep makes Obama a target...

What an easy way to get back into power for some of those whacks on the right!

[gateley]

5. We don't even need to entertain the possibility -

We're DEMOCRATS and we have several extremely qualified people who would be an exemplary VP.

We can join hands across the aisle elsewhere.

[vaberella]

6. I stand by this. As Veep--that's like Obama's bro on the side, who has his back.

Hell no will that honor be given to a Repub. Ugh, as underlings I don't mind that much.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

7. C'mon, an Obama-JEB ticket would kick ass!

:sarcasm:

[Bjorn Against]

37. If Jeb got to be President then our White House would be all filled with disease

[newmajority]

8. If I could recommend this thread 10 times, I would do so.

The Hagel/Powell shills are getting more tiresome than the PUMAbots. Seriously..... :puke:

[Renew Deal]

9. I think Senator Jeff Sessions could help Obama in the south.

Get over it.


:D

[movonne]

11. After reading some posts yesterday about Hagel being VP. I am

beginning to think that some on here are left overs from the hillary, Obama nomination fights...they are really sounding like repugs in dem clothing...several said they would be alright with hagel as vp...the only thing they care about is the war and getting out..

[jobycom]

12. WHAT'S A RETHUGLICAN? WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

SERIOUSLY YOU ARE GIVING ME A HEADACHE BY SHOUTING AND IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO LISTEN TO EITHER OF US ANYWAY, NO MATTER HOW LOUD WE SHOUT! IF SHOUTING WOULD WORK WE'D HAVE IMPEACHED BUSH FIVE YEARS AGO AND WE'D ALL BE CALLING CONGRESS right fucking now!!11!!1! SERIESLY!

[locker13]

13. exactly

hagel as vp is one of the dumbest ideas ever

[scarletwoman]

14. THANK YOU!!!! I TOTALLY AGREE!!!! NO REPUGS ON THE DEM TICKET!!!!

It makes my head hurt. :(

sw

[WillyT]

15. Well Shit... There Goes The Obama\Lieberman Ticket !!!

:evilgrin:

[mopinko]

17. and the dream ticket, if you ask me.

obama/clinton is in the same category, imho.

[RedShoes]

30. clinton is not a republican. thanks. nt

[mopinko]

33. yeah, sure

plonk.

[RedShoes]

40. she shares a NINETY FIVE PER CENT voting record with the presumptive nominee,

why do you want us divided? :shrug:

epic. fail.

[mopinko]

41. i don't. she does.

plonk

[Maven]

49. Facts won't work on the rabid haters. nt

[Jakes Progress]

50. It's all they live for.

They lurk DU waiting for a chance to snark at H. It really ruins their day if they can't find a way to vent.

[PBS Poll-435]

54. Wow.....Primary is over.

Why don't you look at voting records?

What exactly shapes your "opinion?"

[L0oniX]

16. No repukes. We need to smash them out of existence like they tried to do to us.

Make no mistake, they will try to smash us if they get another chance. No forgiveness.

[Milo_Bloom]

18. How about Condi?

:sarcasm:

[1Hippiechick]

32. Since she already refers to Bushboy as her husband, are you suggesting a menage a

oh, never mind.

[iconicgnom]

20. ah dang, there goes my all Republican cabinet idea. It'd surely be a winner, too.

[WinkyDink]

23. THANK YOU! It had to be said!!

[sellitman]

24. There goes my Obama / Clinton ticket.

Darn!

[inna]

26. to #17 and #24: hello, Clinton is not a republican. n/t

[Jakes Progress]

51. Ah, but don't you see

these kind think that is just a real funny joke. Down at Hooters they laugh at it all the time.

[Bluenorthwest]

27. I concur wholeheartedly...

And is there not some standing regulation about supporting Democrats for elected office at this place? Everytime I come to DU it is filled with people slobering at the idea that some Republican should be the VP, and frankly, I'd rather see them in jail than in office.

[LeftishBrit]

28. So you mean Obama won't keep Cheney in post?

Cheney will have to sue for unfair dismissal!

[barack the house]

29. ...

...

[BlooInBloo]

31. DUers just love republicans. Just have to get used to it.

[dave123williams]

34. Well, what are you going to do when the GOP nominates Lieberman as a centrist ticket?

Hmmmmmmmm?

[quakerboy]

35. seconded

'cept I take exception to your statement that they deserve to be dogcatcher. They are the berzerk dogs to be caught and locked up.

[Hawkeye-X]

38. Well, dogcatchers get paid nicely

I'm proposing a penny a day for these dogcatchers.

[quakerboy]

43. They would find a way to abuse the position

I don't trust many politicians. Republican ones, I wouldn't trust to clean the fryer at McDonalds.

[scarletwoman]

36. This needs a kick back up -- damn Colin Powell poll is showing again. (nt)

[vaberella]

52. To me he's the worst of them all as well.

[tyedyeto]

39. I thought this post was about VPs running with McShame

Guess that is not the point of the OP.

[Rowdyboy]

42. Jesus! You purist pricks don't want an Obama/Lott ticket? WTF is WRONG with you!!!!

Obama/Lott rocks!

[Froward69]

44. our natural demeanor

inclines us Dems to help the underdog. understandable as we have a good nature that way. However I agree WE MUST RESIST HELPING the retardlicans.

[DainBramaged]

45. How about Satan?

[shaniqua6392]

61. Satan has already been President.

Two terms of George Bush. Two terms of DICK Cheney. I suspect one of them really is Satan. :evilgrin:

[Ino]

46. I'm waiting for McBush to suggest Obama can be his VP (nt)

[Phoonzang]

47. How about Obama/Stalin 08? Is that better?

He's not a republican.

[tomp]

48. what an idiotic comment. nt

[Phoonzang]

57. Stupid post, stupid comment. n/t

[tomp]

60. are you suggesting we should be considering repubs for vp?

or perhaps that considering someone who is not a right wing democrat is a stalinist? I mean really, what's your point?

[snooper2]

53. so no Obama/Hillary?

3...


2...



1...




:evilgrin:



GOBAMA!

[Solon]

55. Frankly, I find that joke to be rather stupid...

Considering that Obama and Hillary, policy wise, are practically clones of each other, that would make them BOTH "Republicans" at least according to the "joke" so many people posted on this thread.

[depakid]

56. Apparently, many here have no problem with Republicans or their policies

It's "unity" that's important.

[muryan]

58. Damn right its important

[depakid]

59. Should I rest my case?

America's in the sorry shape its in because BOTH Democrats and Republicans have embraced irrational policies on pretty much every level, from finance and economics, to energy and the environment costly wars.

Yet "unity" requires that we continue to enable the far right agenda and coddle those who've hoisted it on us... and act as if they're somehow the "prodigal sons."

Wow.

[muryan]

62. Not even close

But you cant ignore unity when selecting a VP prospect, or even cabinet members. That doesn't mean we have to cater to far-right wing zealots, but it does mean we have to include some center-right leaning politicians in the process if we want to build a large coalition to get the things done that need to be done.

I agree with you that a large amount damage has been done by general incompetence on the part of democrats and what usually borders on downright criminality by the republicans, but there is too much work to do, and we cannot allow partisanship to stand in the way.

[depakid]

63. What is "center right" if not a set of failed (and often irrational) policy choices?

Why on earth would anyone feel the need to further associate the candidate or the party with bankrupt ideas (and the corrupt politicians who still support the discredited ideology behind them)?

These folks have proven time and time again that they're not interested in responsible public policy- much less principled stands on the issues.

Nothing but ill has come out of "compromising" and pandering to them.

[muryan]

64. Not all is black and white

This administration does not believe in grey, when in fact all of reality is such. I would hope others would see it too

[depakid]

65. You seem to be the one who's pigeonholing

and not getting the fact that it's all about policy choices.

You seem to find policies that have proven to work against the interests of ordinary Americans- indeed as has become abundantly clear: AGAINST EVERYONE'S INTERESTS, to be acceptable.

I don't. And (though this is unlikely) I would hope that others might take a look at these policies and what it's done to their healthcare, their retirement, their wages, their environment, their food security- the list goes on- and see who's behind them.

If they like what they see, then by all means enable and embrace those who've brought such fine results about.

If not, then work to make sure folks are relegated back to the minority (or to the fringe) where - due to the consequences of their behavior- they belong.

[AngryAmish]

66. What about Bob Dole?

[scarletwoman]

67. Time to kick this up again. Another idiot has posted a Hagel/VP thread. (nt)
