What's all this talk about Cheney running in 2008?
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050817/to049.html?.v=11


Does Cheney have to run? Doesn't * just appoint his successor like all the other dictators?

:sarcasm:

9. He's the only way for the serious PNACers to keep their grip on things.
Condi is the only other real neocon who'd have a shot, and I think she's too independent for the to trust completely (although she's certainly not very independent).

2. pleasepleasepleaseplease let him win the Repug nomination
He's got to be the least popular man in the country. No centrist of any stripe is going to vote for Snarlin' Dick.

5. Yes,
but Bush needs cover for the sheep. Russia holds elections. But only one man gets the vote. Bush is just following the example of so many other dictators in the world who make a show as cover for the sheeples.

(I can't figure out why Cheney is allowed to run for office. I thought the President had to actually be human. Isn't Cheney about 98% machine?)

I don't think that old wheezer can run around the block much less than run for President.

20. Agreed
doesn't he have some health issues? Bad heart or something.Although he's not that old 64 I believe. John Kerry is 61. Guess Cheney ages like the evil Emperor in Star Wars.

21. Here's how:
Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 05:54 PM by lvx35
My best guess...Hit him on the head so he gets amnesia, and kidnap him. Tell him that his name is Juan Sanchez and let him raise two kid in the trailer park. Then reveal his true identity before the election and tell him to run????

8. They'll run him.
I'm sure because it would piss me off. I'd rather have Guliani or McCain or anybody.

14. "I'd rather have Guliani or McCain or anybody."
Rudy doesn't play well with others and ole John is a sad shell of his former self. Cheney? Man that would be a campaign to remember. Probably the most evil sob they could run so hey it might happen.

a Cindy Sheehan in every community. The name
is going to be different, but the message is
going to be the same."
