Get out your tinfoil hats, will Bush roll on Cheney first, or vice versa?

[Virginia Dare]

Will Bush cut a deal with the Dems to let Cheney roll in exchange for a free pass until January, provided the Dems can pick his V.P., in which case I'm guessing it would be somebody like Arlen Specter or Chuck Lugar?

OR.....

Will Cheney throw Bush under the bus, throwing the Democratic congress some red meat, forcing his impeachment, and Cheney's ascendancy to the Presidency, installing his favorite GOP successor to the thrown, probably somebody like Fred Thompson?

Got another fun theory you want to throw in?

[msongs]

1. bush will do nothing he knows there is no oppositon party that will do anything nt

[Virginia Dare]

6. Your pessimism is duly noted...n/t

[Warpy]

2. Neither

Cheney needs Stupid to hide behind, so that's out. Stupid is so stupid and ill informed that he doesn't think there is a problem, has never been a problem and will never be a problem. So that's out.

[Virginia Dare]

7. What if he's given an ultimatum?

Cheney or you, which is it?

[havocmom]

10. At that point, Rove gives Cheney thumbs down, tosses him to the lions,

and some really bad thing happens to divert our attention while enabling Cheney to usurp more powers for the executive branch he has freshly re-aligned himself with (just ahead of those subpoenas).

[Warpy]

15. He'll run to Rove, he'll run to Poppy, he'll run to Babs

and he'll run to Gonzo, demanding all of them fix it or just make it go away.

He does not respond well to threats. He has never taken a bit of responsibility for anything in his life. He has no reason to believe in consequences of any kind.

[Virginia Dare]

23. That's why I think that would be the scenario for getting rid of Cheney...

he'd dump him in a heartbeat if it meant his own ass on the line. I'm sure Dick has a contingency plan all lined up just in case.

[Imagevision]

3. How can Bush do anything when his Boss is Cheney??

[Norquist Nemesis]

4. Neither, they'll just drag it out in the courts through Jan 2009

setting precedent for future presidents.

[Virginia Dare]

5. You think that's smart politically for the Republicans?..

all of this drip, drip, drip, of failures and scandals?

[blondeatlast]

9. I seriously don't think that the administration gives a good gawddam about the ELECTED

Republicans.

They've done what they were engineered to do, and ensured that no one will be able to get us out of the mess in the next half-century. Democracy is NOT part of the agenda.

[bdamomma]

17. they don't and Cheney did say once, he does not care about the

fate of republican party, it is business as usual and the PNAC agenda will be thrusted forward.

[Virginia Dare]

21. Agreed, but when does the GOP wise up, or do they?...n/t

[bdamomma]

24. if they are smart enough they are on their way over the cliff

and will they save their own asses, that is the question, will they save their own asses, and defect from these criminals.

[Virginia Dare]

20. Right, but at some point the GOP takes over...

they say enough is enough, cut their losses and toss somebody overboard, don't you think?

[blondeatlast]

27. One would think, but they seem almost deluded. It's almost as if

they are terrified to lose that 26% that W still holds. I think they may be--they kmow that that 26% will cough up th campaign dough. It's why I say our best strategy is every W photo-op and statement of support for W's Iraq policy.

The GOP leaders seem to feel they still need to make the Democrats the enemy when in reality, the neocons have done far more damage to the RRRepublicans than we ever could have.

[Norquist Nemesis]

11. The way the Cons operate, they likely have all their outrages lined up

and ready. All they need to do is fill in the blank with the name of the Democrat sitting in the WH and slap a current date on it! Funny thing, "Bush did it" just won't be sufficient.

Don't be surprised if the Cons haven't been keeping notes all along about things they wouldn't dare utter even behind closed doors. They'll be waiting to pounce like wolves on the hunt, ready to attack and kill, using the same techniques that have fed them for years.

[City Lights]

8. Setting the precedent for future Republick presidents.

Democratic presidents will have to follow different rules.

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. Agree 100%!! See #11

[City Lights]

16. ...

:thumbsup:

[Javaman]

13. About 4 years ago I had my tinfoil hat surgically fused to my scalp. nt

[WorseBeforeBetter]

14. Just for shits and grins...

"Something" happens to Dim Son, Cheney ascends to the throne, a "state of emergency" is declared, and the November '08 elections are suspended indefinitely.

Or not. LOL It's like an assault every day with these people--they're turning me into a crazy person!!

[Norquist Nemesis]

18. OR Cheney has complications during his upcoming surgery for battery

replacement. Condi comes out, in tears, and says "Who knew? No one could have predicted..." And Bush names Fred Thompson VP.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

25. Yeah, I thought of that one, too.

"Complications."

[bdamomma]

19. that is their plan to drive us crazy, and those pharmaceutical companies

are making billions of money off us.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

26. Well, I haven't hit the Rx's just yet...

but Ben & Jerry's is making a killing off of me. Sicko this weekend - yeah!

[Virginia Dare]

22. Could explain the chimps extreme paranoia...

he's more scared of Cheney than anybody, that's clear.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

28. Agreed.

And what I wouldn't give for a complete public meltdown. He was going through a crying jag for a while there, but that seems to have stopped. Medications adjusted?! Cheney "adjusted" him?
