CHENEY/PALIN 2012! Fastest way to another Democrat win. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2047 Joined: 18 Jun 2008     | Better pick a damn good VP candidate if he does go. I remember hearing how people wouldn't vote for McCain 'cause he was too damn old, and him croaking in office would bump Palin into the presidency. |

I approve! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4331 Joined: 25 Mar 2009   | I don't think it will fly. There might be money-related positive press on him from mainstream media, but most members of the public won't let anyone forget the evil things he did. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1307 Joined: 2 Sep 2009    | Cheney for Emperor of the USA! Seriously, Cheney as Prez with perhaps Palin as Vice-Prez would be my worst nightmare. The man is insane. Someone really needs to shove him in his man-sized safe and drop it off a cliff. |

Yeah, everyone hates presidents. No one can run and not be hated or get past 2 years and be hated. Like now! |

Or to the Apocalypse, if Cheney et al. can hire enough spin doctors and produce enough sound bites. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 51 Joined: 28 Dec 2008   | Not bad. I'm just going to build this fort over here while I wait for the know-it-all freshman community college students to comeback from their soy laities. While I build this fort, I must say that I would approve the nomination (despite my desire to see Huckabee/Colbert for reals) on the grounds that we can finally get a good look at how Cheney plays politics. No doubt that their are other qualified and less controversial tickets and I do know of some people from the S. Dakota with good credentials. That aside, good article, nice to see some thought in a mine field of knee jerk reaction and auto-bury. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 387 Joined: 20 Aug 2009     | I love cheney, just because he is so obviously evil |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 95 Joined: 15 Apr 2009     | The sound you heard was not liberals spitting out their lattes (to paraphrase the article). It was the sound of smacking lips and drool from every Democrat in the country at the thought of Cheney at the top of the ticket in 2012. We could have 70 seats in the Senate! I WISH Republicans were stupid enough to nominate him. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 596 Joined: 21 Oct 2009  | I really hate how every time a conservative mentions Liberals, they throw in a latte or hybrid crack. I don't know about the rest of them, but I always make sure not to make cracks unless it's a personal conversation. And last time I checked, News articles are the exact opposite of that. OT: That article made me realize there aren't ANY Republicans I'd vote for president. That's about all I got out of it.
Speak of the ever pretentious devil. |

I will assume in this response that you actually read the article. You have missed the topic of this OpEd: this is about the political ramifications of such a personality taking center stage for a political party that is ruining around with its head cut off. It is about the wide spreed international exposure on a scale that is the stuff of MoveOn's wet dreams. This issue of What If celebrates the system of american politics and how we as a nation (I'm looking at you "Moral Majority". Don't tell me you didn't start this) have let it rot in our all to brief twitter-ific culture. |

Just remembering my old sophomore community college days. I'm also drawing from this site's demographic: young students who may or may not drink soy laities. And yes, I do know the danger of generalization, but its fun to rag on the 5 paragraph Charlie's and their "im so hawt IN MY BRAIN" personalities. </hypocrisy> Anyways, its the internet, wha'cha expect PhDs? |

Lol fair point :P I just love the irony of the "mature" demographic being the quickest to throw out the quips ;P Granted, I'd still trade our bleeding hearts and chronic victims for your smart asses lol |

Wordsmith Extraordinaire  Posts: 14044 Joined: 31 Dec 2008   | I would vote for him It is a futile attempt to even think about trying to defeat him |

No. PALIN/BECK 2012. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 680 Joined: 10 Apr 2009   | I usually lean towards the republican side of politics, and CANNOT stand Obama, but even I realize that Cheney as president would be an absolutely horrible idea |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 688 Joined: 6 Sep 2009 | OH! I know! We should totally go for O'Riley/Beck for 2012 on the Republican ticket! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1952 Joined: 6 Sep 2008 | I would love to hear his platform. That being said, I would never vote for him. |
Muckraker  Posts: 240 Joined: 10 Jul 2009    | Yes, yes a million times yes |

Heh you can imagine the smile on the Demos faces. Would be like Anyway on topic. Cheney? As in "It is not torture. It is "enhanced interrogation" Cheney? Oh yeah, that would end well. Half way through his term he would get locked up for war crimes. User was banned for: Black Mesa Source still going to be released in 2009?. (Permanent) |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 90 Joined: 18 Oct 2008 | At least we have the comfort of knowing that, should the alignment of the moons actually cause Cheney to decide to run, there's no way that he would ever get elected, right? ...right?! We're not stupid enough to make that mistake AGAIN are we?! |
Press Junketeer Posts: 486 Joined: 26 Dec 2008  | I see the man's point but I doubt it would have the desired effect. Cheney was one of the biggest people fanning the flames of being either with the majority or against the country. He is too polarizing. What American politics really needs is a harsh tug to the center and big dose of perspective. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1587 Joined: 7 May 2009  | He's not going to run for president. If he does, he'll lose worse than Walter Mondale, which basically means he won't win a single state.
Neither are republicans. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3475 Joined: 10 Mar 2009    | shouldn't this be in the politics section? |
