Along with those factors, Cheney’s never going to leave Bush’s side because HE’S the only one out of the two with any sort of meager intelligence (emphasis on meager).  He’s not going to let little Bush boy push him out of his white house.  He’s far too sinister and conniving for that.

“Will Bush dump Cheney?”
No way - can a puppet walk without the puppeteer?

“Would Powell accept if offered?”
I doubt it - he’s probably getting sick of this Bushit!

Who’s to say that Cheney still needs to be VP to call the shots?

If the repubs can play Cheney off as the ‘bad’ guy and spin it as Bush was relying on Cheney’s expert knowledge and experience and hence the poor outcome.  Enough Americans may just buy into it.  ‘Oh look, poor Bush got suckered but he’s doing the right thing now, let’s give him another shot.’

Bush could then pick up McCain and Cheney would be returned to the hallowed halls of Halliburton where he will be welcomed liked a king.  Bush/Cheney talks will take place on a daily basis and the country will continue ravishing the world.

As far a Bush/Powell ticket - Not a chance.  Les’ is more likely to turn into a raving Baptist.

captcha = ‘ill’ Which is how I feel thinking of four more years of this ass.

I wrote about this a couple of days ago, and have thought about this for a year or so… causing nightmares ...

Forget Powel and McCain… imagine if he chose Rudy Guiliani and anounced it at Ground Zero before the Repugnican Convention… aghhh! NY could turn into a Red State ... feh!

It is also telling the person who has been the most vocal about this is Al “no pothole too small” D’Amato from NY who is grooming Gov. Pataki from NY for a Presidential run…

Or am I just being a paranoid bastard?

How’bout Kerry/Powell?  Wouldn’t that be nice… sorry, dreaming, lazily and foolhartedly.

John, don’T worry too much. I may not be exactly at Ground Zero of this one (excuse the pun), but I get the feeling that many people in the US are really sick of all this sugar-coated-but-real-macho patriotism.

In fact, I believe Kerrys chances are quite good right now, and the Bushies are simly casting around for something to change the mood. I don’t think they’ll find it. And they won’t drop Cheney.

Here in Germany, we had an election (I believe it was in the late 50s) where our chancellor incumbent was so popular, they said that he could only loose if it became known that he slaughtered puppies in his basement. Thats it for Cheney - before Bush can dump him while keeping face, Cheney would have to do something like that.

Hi Lez!

How come some people have their name above the post (as a link), but most are fully ‘nameless’?

Yes, I am registered and logged on. The previous post was mine too.

How ‘bout Kerry/LaVey - still beats Cheney/Bush!

PS. I like La Vey’s comment…

“We believe in neither God nor the Devil. We believe in the individual.”

ingolfson,

The issue that drives my fear is that Adolf er… Rudolph Guiliani is still very popular here in NY. Throw him on the ticket, and NY State could swing Repugnican this time around, and a Democrat has no chance in hell of winning the electoral college without NY.

Karl Rove is an evil genius, and cheney has a bad ticker…

The Bush Team is huge (HUGE) on loyalty.  This principle manifests itself in all sorts of ways.  And one of them is:  unless you break the rule of loyalty to the Bush Team, the Bush Team remains loyal.

This is another example, when juxtaposed to the Democrats, where Republicans simply don’t eat their own, despite polls.

Personally, i hope (and know) that Cheney shall remain, and you can’t get any better news than that come November, if you’re a Democrat.

I don’t think Powell would ever be asked, nor would he accept, the VP position.  The Bush administration has treated him like shit ever since they put him in his current position.  Both he and Christine Whitman were installed in office, then publically humiliated over and over again by having their announcements reversed. Poor Colin has had to deal with all the dirty work created by Bush and co.’s bumbling.  I don’t expect him to stay with the administration if (Cthulhu forbid) they should win another term.

I’d almost suspect that they just put in token minorities and then proceeded to ignore them, except there’s Condi, who seems to make out okay as long as she sticks by Bush’s side like a good little wife.
