When I read his book 10 years ago; and the work he did in Gulf War I, I'd have agreed with you. Today, I'd say that Powell is a lightweight.
Get out of Cheney's house!
How old are ya, and how many Presidential elections have you participaed in?
One thing people need to understand - those not interested in politics...are just that...not interested - They simply can have premises spun to them...and once they stick...it is very hard to change - (simply because they don't have enough interest to invest enough of their time to pay attention any longer....or to admit they were wrong to begin with....this is very hard for many to do...easier to just believe the first lie they were spun as the truth)
Cheney is great, but as VP I really don't see him as an asset this time around - First off GWB is the man - Cheney is an adviser more then anything else (but he could have this job simply by being an adviser) - It is obvious Cheney doesn't like the VP job description....that being going out and being on the offensive for the Administration - He much prefers to stay behind the scene (per say) -
I think Rudy would be a great choice for VP - With that said I do believe Cheney is on the ticket and not going anywhere - However, Cheney doesn't bring one vote that GWB didn't get on his own in 2000 -
I agree. He's one tough hombre. W will NEVER drop Cheney. Personally, I thought Cheney would have been a better Prez than W; and I told my wife that during the '00 primaries. If I were a dim, I'd wet my pants coming up against Dick Cheney in a debate, or even in a private confrontational conversation.
Thanks Jim. I think he started to get some of us a lttle steamed.
"Big mistake. Collin Powell would give us a chance."
So you think we have no chance with Dick as VP? We will win big time, no problem.
Nope, her act grew thin on me long ago.
Anybody who would marry serpent head cannot be trusted. I know people who get divorced because the spouse won't tell the other one why he/she was an hour late from getting home from work. There is something wrong with this picture.
I can't imagine who could spice things up more than Chaney - except maybe Rumsfeld, and I thought he had a job already.
It leads me to believe me we are being duped by both parties.
Conservative Republicans like VP Cheney -- in fact some of us wanted him to run for President in 1996. We are going to win with him on the ticket and the only people wanting him off are those that want Bush-Cheney '04 to lose.
BTW, you spelled Secretary of State Colin Powell's name wrong and since you are new, don't think using the word "we" to want to dump VP Cheney is appropriate on FR.
Sure glad that we are not as dumb as the RATs who send people here think we are!
No, but it doesn't have anything to do with whether or not he's popular right now, or will be even in their second term. I don't believe he ever had any intentions of running for President. I think that, like President Bush has said about himself, this will be Cheney's last campaign.
Why on earth would true conservatives want John McCain on the ticket? It's bad enough we now have CFR and Medicare giveaways, but now we should bring on a hothead "maverick" [barf] that sides withe Dems far, far too often on social issues? I don't think so.
I just saw Vice President Cheney Saturday (shook his hand, thank you very much) and I can't imagine anyone else standing by President Bush's side more loyally, with more conviction, strength, and confidence.
And as far as "giving "us" a chance",a chance for what..losing BIG TIME?
So,I guess you are working for the Kerry team and are on the wrong forum.This site wants to get President Bush re-elected and dumping Cheney is NOT the way to do that..
Mary's not the one lying...so that leaves NewsMax;which should come as NO surprise.
Ooopppppppppsssss...meant NewsWeek.
no.........McCain would mean 12 years of the Democratic ticket disquised as GOP.......!!!!!!
