With the selection of Edwards, this is an incredibly stupid idea - I am looking forward to seeing Cheney, in his soft Wyoming twang, tear the Boy Edwards to pieces.

Regards, Ivan

Amen. Cheney could still serve as adviser.

[SunStar]

President Bush should stick with Cheney and not listen to the chorus of idiots with this idea, IMHO.

an influential former GOP senator said Wednesday.

Since when do losers get to give advice?

[dfwgator]

Why would President Bush listen to a guy who couldn't even beat Chuckie Schumer?

[Republican Red]

President Bush better keep Cheney. I am a strong supporter of the Vice President. I can't wait until the VP debates. It will be like a wise old grandpa lecturing to his grandchild. Edwards lack of experience will just ooze. Cheney will mop te floor with him.

A sure way for D'Amato to get his name in the news. And my advice to you is - get a new hobby!

The following is just the reason to keep a Bush/Cheney ticket!!!!!

“Let me note that Vice President Cheney is a decent, honorable, and patriotic American, a man of great intellect, who has served the president and the nation with dedication,” D’Amato said in a statement released by his office. “But we should make no mistake, we are a nation at war with a vicious terrorist foe, and in war hard decisions must be made.”

[shrinkermd]

D'Amato must not know the Prez very well. President Bush has too much class to fire a loyal person for political expediency.

[going hot]

influential senator??

Harummphhh

[TomGuy]

Noooo....and certainly not McCain.

If GW dropped Cheney, the lib/dems would blow that up to being worse than Abu Ghraib. Any move to replace Cheney would appear (and would be) purely political. It would not work.

Does anyone here disagree that Cheney is a great and honorable man and has been a good VP?

To 'dump' him would be just plain wrong. It would be an insult and a slap in the face purposely for political gain.

That said, if he were to retire on his own for medical reasons, I think Condi Rice should be immediately asked to step in as VP. (either before or after the election)

[TexasCajun]

The 'Rats and Elite Media would have a real heart-attack should Cheney decide to step down and President Bush puts McCainiac on the ticket! I would much rather see Dr. Rice as the VP pick, setting her up as Presidential nominee against Hitlery in '08.

[isthisnickcool]

Some people say that Cheney deserves to be vice-president because his son was killed in an automobile accident. /sarcasm off

[Petronski]

Maybe Al should STFU. He lost to Chuck Schumer, WTF does he know about anything?

[ZULU]

NOW I know why he was referred to as "Al DeMento" by his liberal opponents.

The line up of speakers at the Republican convention ALREADY has me worried - the "Gubernator", Pataki, Giuliani - a regular rogue's gallery of leftist RINOs.

If Bush swing to the left to try to draw any liberal voters, he will loose his conservative base - and I will be one of them. And dumping Cheney would be simply unforgivable.

(Got that Carl Rove???)

[Lady Heron]

A rino telling Republicans to add a rino to the ticket, a sure way to loose. They do not call the Republicans the stupid party for nothing.

[Badeye]

I lost all respect for Al D'Amato the day he sang the "old McDonald had a farm" bs years ago. Given the fact he got fired by the voters, by a large margin, the gall he displays with this is stunning.

He's one of the reasons I have never joined the Republican Party, choosing to stay a registered lifelong Independent. He's a prime example of why I refer to the GOP "Leadership" as The Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight.

As an observer of politics…

You’re an "observer" for a reason, Al – you don’t know how to win elections.

(McCain?!? Way to fire up the base, jackass...)

Sit down and shut up.
