What Eugene McCarthy said about Walter Mondale: "He has the soul of a Vice President."

One witty Freeper made the excellent suggestion of making Paul ambassador to Nauru. Sounds about right.

Nauru is 8 square miles in area and has no army. They say it's slowly sinking into the Pacific. Sounds about right.

I really take exception to your #8. I think Dick Cheney is fantastic and he could do a superb job in any office.

In trying to kick Dick Cheney you make yourself look stupid.

Hate to tell you Pissant, but being an attorney is not a requirement.

The one reason he shouldn’t be Vice President is that he’d be a heart beat away from being President.

Probably not, but I’m guessing its commonplace.

I kind of wondered if being an attorney was a requirement.

” He’s not going to win anyway....right?”

No. But people are free to support him. It’s just distracting when a small number of people try to spin his popularity so much.

Paul is actually more suited to be King of Sealand.

Posting something in support of your candidate is one thing. Posting something in support of your candidate and then pinging your buddies to gang up on anyone who disagrees with the candidate is a whole different story. That’s what got the Rudy Boosters in trouble. The Paul boosters should learn from that example.

Fred and Ron? Now THAT’s absurd.


No, absurd would be Rudy/John...anything with a Ron in it would be a last ditch effort.

By selecting Ron Paul as a vice presidential running mate, you will keep him from running as an Independent third party candidate that spoils a close race against the eventual Democratic nominee. There have been many instances of libertarians running for office and spoiling a win for the Republican party in an attempt to move the party platform.

I have thought about this, and wouldn't Ron Paul probably pull more away from the democrat candidate then the republican? Assuming Hillary wins, Ron Paul is the only legitimate antiwar vote and thus many young people and far left would be a fan (they would also be bigger fans of his libertarian views on social issues as they relate to government interference). I don't think a republican gets hurt by adding another antiwar candidate.

Do you Paulbots ever give up?

If the VP thing doesn’t work out, how about dog catcher?

The far left are not fans of libertarianism. Libertarians oppose welfare, gun control, affirmative action, and federal funding of the arts - all liberal sacred cows.

You give the far left too much credit.

Now that’s some major brain trust thinking.
