* has chosen Mitt and Cheney has chosen Cheney(Lynne) to be VP. This will be their team.

Are we in trouble?

1. And what the hell has Lynne Cheney done that qualifies her for VP?

I guess she knows where all the bodies are buried. Literally.

Knowing how the Republicans feel about women (subservient to men) I don't think a female VP will go over very well. They don't want women to have the right to choose what happens to their own bodies, and I think it would be an assault on their manhood to have a woman in such a position.

After all, we are dealing with backwoods, beer drinkin', shootin' a buddy in the face, huntin' captured animals, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigots. What do you expect? :eyes:

4. Lynne will keep the back channel open to the bunker at the undisclosed location.

[MonkeyFunk]

7. absolutely nothing

the very idea is absurd, but he's been pushing it for months.

Wait'll you hear who he thinks Bloomberg will run with!

[CK_John]

15. Why don't you fill everyone in, since you've followed it so closely. n/t

[CK_John]

21. Depending on who gets the nomination Bloomberg will pick Melinda Gates or J Roberts. (if he runs).

13. Must control self to avoid posting sanrky comment about another political wife.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Dick and Lynne Cheney made a smash on the political scene. Supporters say they will return as a Washington power couple.

"Lynne is an incredibly important member of this team," Texas Gov. George W. Bush said Tuesday.


Gov. George W. Bush: "Lynne is an incredibly important member of this team."

Lynne Cheney is an outspoken conservative -- whether addressing the Republican National Convention, as an author or co-host of CNN's Sunday Crossfire for three years.

But Cheney made her biggest mark when she was chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities from 1986 to 1993. She was appointed by both Presidents Reagan and Bush.

With her resume, supporters say she'll bring excitement to the campaign: "This is more like three for the price of one, because she is double good," says Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Mississippi.

20. Exactly-- anyone who likes Dick Cheney will NOT like the idea of a female VP.

Anyone who doesn't like Dick Cheney (the vast majority) will be repelled by the thought of another four years with Dick Cheney sitting behind the curtain.

[aquart]

2. Link?

I've been asleep. Did something happen?

[Trouser Trout]

3. To Paraphrase Ms. Cheney:

This is NOT a good woman. This is NOT a good woman.

[CK_John]

5. She is also one hell of a campaigner, super attack dog type. n/t

[book_worm]

6. No it won't be Lynne--she has nothing that qualifies her for VP. It will be Huckabee

if he isn't the nominee for president.

[CK_John]

8. You should checkout her resume, she has a lot of experience. n/t

[foo_bar]

10. she's also named Cheney and has the approval rating of crabgrass

I think you might be on to something, as far as the repubs choosing a woman with a familiar last name to negate the Hillary Factor, but they're far likelier to run Liddy Dole since she 1) has won actual elections, 2) isn't strongly associated with the previous administration, 3) mobilizes evangelicals (unlike Lynne of the bodice-ripper), 4) defeated Erskine Bowles, and 5) well you get the idea.

[CK_John]

11. They need a pit bull, to up against our Hillary/K Sebelius team. n/t

[hedgehog]

14. That's right ! Let her serve a term as as Senator, first! nt

[CK_John]

17. Neocon's don't wait for their turn, lines are for little people. n/t

[JohnnyLib2]

9. Awwwwwk! You are terrifying me.

That pair would be the logical extension of the current admin's most fervent beliefs. Shudder.

[CK_John]

12. They will not go gently into retirement. n/t

[Virginia Dare]

16. I'd welcome that...

it would be the biggest loser team in a century or better.

[onenote]

18. and other than you, who else is saying this is so?

[CK_John]

19. Don't know, perhaps we need a poll?

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. Nope. VP will be Jeb Bush......for whichever freak they elect.

:puke:

[CK_John]

23. IMO, Cheney would chose his wife before another * brother. n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. There's no way in hell Lynne Cheney is going to be chosen for VP. After Darth? I don't think so.

Also, haven't you noticed how all the RW freaks have been trying to distance themselves from this administration? Lynne Cheney AIN'T gonna happen.

[CK_John]

25. If they cared, your position would have merit, the only concession is Dick is not running. n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. Darth isn't running and therefore has no standing whatsoever to pick who HE wants as VP. Lynne

Cheney is not going to be their VP pick. The BFEE has a lot more clout than snarling Darth. Jeb didn't run for Governor of Florida for a reason. I'll Bookmark this thread. We shall see who they choose.

[CK_John]

27. Agreed, we shall see. n/t

[H2O Man]

28. Zero chance of that. n/t

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

29. Even if what you say is true - what power does Bush wield in today's GOP?

What power does the Chimp have today to get his way with his own party? Or is Poppy Bush going to unleash Rove again on the other GOP candidates?

[CK_John]

30. I think it is more of a monied interest that calls the shots, and Cheney is their bagman. n/t
