Cheney's thinking about running in '08? (According to Hardball)
Give me a freaking break

Kate O'Bourne confirmed the rumor and said he's considering it to (in her words) "stop McCain"

1. That would be sweet. The dems could save their money and
not run anybody. We would still win.

3. Ah, optimism. My favorite thing.
Let's have more of that. I'm sick of all the whining, bitching, moaning, complaining and not helping. It's messed up. I can't be the only one to see that the future is still very, very bright.

19. Honestly, the USA has 3 more years of unrelenting grief to face

How he would have the nerve to even consider running for public office after that performance is beyond all reason and logic. Besides, by then he will most likely be facing a war crimes trial.

5. Well, he's been looking all over and just can't find anybody
better than him to run. Makes sense to me, if you try to get inside the evil man's head.

9. How about Cheney running around the perimeter of SouthPork
ranch in 105 degree heat tomorrow. Let him keep doing it over and over and over.

If he survives that, consider putting him on the ticket.

12. Evidently they still don't want him?
:shrug:

So will Cheney run with Jeb so it's a "Cheney/Bush" ticket? :puke:

17. people are looking for a change....
even the moderate republicans... they wouldn't have a chance

unless they steal it.

Fight for fair voting. That's what truly concerns me.

15. I'd be more worried
I'd be more worried that Cheney picks George as VP to repay the favour!

12 years of Bush/Cheney.. yikes!

22. Now that bushes poll numbers are in the crapper
I can just IMAGINE what Cheney's are!! Even a large smattering of repubs thought of him as evil personified.

Me thinks they are truly starting to believe their own PR.

23. If this is at all true, I would focus on who his VP would be.
Edited on Wed Aug-10-05 09:46 PM by wisteria
That's the guy who will be running the country. Cheney has to watch his health closely- we all are aware of his many heart problems.He may get ill or the other alternative while in office and we will be left with the VP as President.

26. If so, Hillary would have a chance
In the last poll I saw with Hillary vs. Cheney, Hillary had him beat by 20 points.

27. He'll be lucky if he can walk by then
I hope he tries; he's the poster child for corporate abuse of the little guy.

30. That's hilarious.
Call me a hopeless optimist, but if that were to happen, I think I might die happy.
