Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Republican presidential candidate John McCain has a big decision ahead of him -- picking a vice presidential running mate whose presence on the ticket would reassure Americans concerned about McCain's age. McCain is 71 years old and would be the oldest person ever elected to a first presidential term.

I forgot versus the black Tony Robbins...

Micheal Steele!

The lame duck candidate needs a future Prez nominee so soon?

Our Mn Governor ~ who kisses McBush every chance he gets ~ would love to kiss his hinds for that job & should for I can't believe he will still be our Republician Governor in the State's general election ~ 3 years from now:>)

Can you say Jeb Bush?

We know you can.

First mate on the Titanic, anyone? He shoud ask Cheney, he's probably the only candidate who wouldn't sneak up behind McBush and yell "boo" all the time.

The guy who isn't gonna be POTUS is agonising over who to pick as the guy who won't be Veep?

Tha's funny, right there.

Two names Spud has heard floated more than most is Charlie Crist of Florida in order to virtually lock up that state or Condi Rice to do battle with the historical aspect of the Obama/Hillary thing.

Regardless of who he goes with the phrase "arranging the deck chairs on the Hindenberg" springs readily to mind.

The GOPhers are in disarray.

The Dems are resurgent.

The only thing that could make this anything close to a tight race would be if the super delegates gave the Nom to Hill.

That's why GOPhers are urging their dwindling numbers to go into the Dem primaries and cast their votes fer Hill because they know she would be easier to beat than Obama.

They shot themselves in the foot when they selected Kerry over Howard Dean and hopefully they aren't foolish enuff to pull that stunt again.

So sayeth Spud.

Spud has spake.

Now... stare directly into
HypnObama's eyes!

GObama, 08ama '08.

Can you smell wot Barack is cookin'?

Yes, we can!

Be Well.

I predicted sometime ago that it would be John boy bush.

Who the hell else is there?

well mccain faces this choice and obama faces the trial beginning tomorrow of his bud....tony rezko. I wonder who is the most nervous?

I wonder who is the most nervous?


Probably McBush's co-chair Renzi.

But, not to worry, whoever it is, Cindi McBush can go steal some Prozac for them.

Why doesn't he just outsource the job to an illegal alien since he lovs them so much. I am sure an illegal alien VP is cheaper and there would be no need for secret service protection, pensions and all that other expensive stuff required with a regular VP.

"Can you say Jeb Bush?"

That would be suicidal, especially if Obama is the nominee.

No more Bushes, no more Clintons anywhere in teh ticket!

Rice is another Bush...pun intended.

My prediction is Kay Bailey Hutchison. A play for the not insignificant number of women (like my own mother) who are extremely upset at a woman being passed up this year, no matter how lousy the choice of woman was. Choosing Hutchison would probably push Obama into picking Sebelius or Napolitano, neither of whom bolster his lack of military experience like some other VP options would.

My prediction is Kay Bailey Hutchison

Who?

how about Liebermann?:>)

Our base is the media, vote for us.

McCain/Lieberman 08

Mc Cain/Ron Jeremy 08. What do you think?

What's their motto?

McCain- he fucks your country while Ron fucks your wife?

how about Liebermann?:>)

Don't think they have Veeps in Israel.

Ohhhhh you mean for in the US!

Hmmmm, well he's about as big a war-mongering, fear-mongering Chickenhawk and MIC whore as you can find so in that sense he's a perfect match for McCain. Although Mossad will prolly arrange fer a couple of Vietnamese spooks in black pajamas to jump up out of the Rose Garden behind the WH after the election and scare McCain into having a heart attack and then America will become America's biatch officially.

McCain- he fucks your country while Ron fucks your wife?

Ha! FF fer Alexandrite!

McCain/Jeremy?

ChickenHawk/Hedgehog '08.

Sure to get the petting zoo vote certainly.

Be Well.

Kay Bailey Hutchison

A distinct possibility.

Be Well.

Lets look at some Veep choices for Obama.

1. Krusty the clown(that way his ears would look much smaller)
2. Chelsea Clinton(that way he wouldn't look so damn ugly)
3. Michael Moore(that way he wouldn't get shot)



C'mon man, at least try. That was just sad.

John McCain will pick JEB BUSH

I did an actual userblog on this last week.

If you read this article which I will now repost be sure and look at the DATE. The date is what made me do a userblog on it in the first place.

The article lays out a very realistic scenario of how a McCain presidency might come about and how McCain would have to agree to place Jeb Bush on the ticket as his VP in exchange for being "allowed" to get the presidency in 2008.

Everything that was a "possibility" needing to happen for this scenario to occur has happened. It all fallen into place now in 2008. Coincidence? You decide.

Here was the article that was the basis for my userblog a couple weeks ago.

McCain to pick JEB BUSH as VP in order to get guarantee allowing him 4 years as President

RE: MY POST ABOVE

Look at what I found (linked via another thread) that TWINPAC posted two years ago saying the same thing!


SCAREY:

One of the MOST DISHONEST Republicans . . . but the governorship of Florida is small potatoes compared to how the neo-cons plan to use him if they get re-elected in 2008.

As you know, Jeb Bush is all about the PNAC agenda.

The country is sufffering from Bush fatique right now so you'll likely see that name played down in 2008. We'll probably see campaign posters that say "McCain/Jeb" instead of "McCain/Bush."

CHRIS:

As soon as McCain announced himself as a candidate, I knew that a deal of some kind had been reached between him and the neo-cons. They've never fully trusted McCain so it stands to reason the Bush crime family would want a watch dog style VP, especially one with powers parallel to the presidency, the likes of which have already been bestowed upon Dick Cheney.

While everyone was complaining about Bush being a puppet with Cheney pulling the strings, I was asking myself what the purpose of this arrangement might be.

The answer was pretty obvious. It was for the benefit of a succession of "puppet presidents" of which McCain is only the second in line.

So yes, I'm just as sure as I was two years ago that McCain has agreed to let the neo-cons continue to call the plays from behind the curtain just as they've done for the past eight years.

The neo-cons may not want to risk the election by suggesting JEB as McCain's V.P. right at this time. I think it will depend on how the war in Iraq looks as we get closer to the election. The name of Bush is pretty well synonymous with rattlesnake venom at the moment but that seems to be declining as the violence in Iraq is played down.

Whether as V.P. or some cabinet position, McCain will definitely have JEB keeping watch over the henhouse and pulling the strings attached to the PNAC agenda.


McCain should have Dick Cheney head up his VP search.

Posted by Alexandrite at 2008-


okay so I shut the door and I made sure even the dog was out of the room and the tv was off just in case there was some sort of reverse thing on it where people could hear me, but I have to admit it. I DIDNT LAUGH but I did chuckle at something alex said.
HEY DIPPY DORK(he said affectionatly) good one

Please,PLEASE take Tim Pawlenty off our hands in Minnesota. He's a perfect fit to be part of the RNC/NRA ticket: He vetoed the a state transportation bill for highway improvements just before the Minneapolis bridge collapse. There's no question he's got the right stuff for the GOP "wide-stance" platform. You would be doing us here in Minnesota a big favor. It would be the end of his pathetic little political career and we would all be the better for it.

I don't think McCain would select Jeb Bush for VP because he then would know that his life expectancy is less than four years. When the Bush family can't get elected, can get diebold and the SC to appoint them then really there is only one way into the presidency and they would have no qualms about taking that path, McCain is just a useful annoyance to them but he isn't dumb enough to tempt them I think.

TED:

Just a thought but . . . Obama is too squeeky clean for the neo-cons who want "her baggage vs his baggage" to dominate a presidential race.

Nor are they inclined to let a little thing like the democratic process get in their way, as we witnessed in the 2000 election.

So far I don't think the neo-cons have assassinated an opposing candidate but as Obama gains steam I have to wonder if there is a contingency plan in place . . . just in case.

I'm wondering if he's even going to make it to the convention.

Sirhan-Sirhan style.

Nothing would make you perpetual victims happier, except maybe a succesful IED strike against our troops, but that's debatable.

Duncan Hunter or the Huckster.

I understand that Harriet Meyers needs work. We know that she has the best legal mind in the country. At least herr bush said she did

If McCain really believes he can make "winning" politically in Iraq the major campaign issue, then he'll up his Prozac and try to recruit Petraeus. If he moves to the center, which would seem wiser, then he'll pick a bolder choice. Kay Bailey Hutchinson is one option, but McCain could surprise everyone by choosing Susan Collins or even Linda Lingle.

Duncan Hunter

Wouldn't last through the Veep debates-First question-do you support John McBush's amnesty program?
Either instant bleeps or 5 minutes of bu...bu...bu...

he should pick Rudi, so Cindi can at least stop stealing thongs from charities.

John should reach out to the VN immigrant population-he owes them some favors.

It will not be necessary for McCain to pick a Vice-President. McCain is no more relevant than his savior Bush is.

That would be suicidal, especially if Obama is the nominee.


And running on a platform of 100 more years in Iraq is not?

Bagdad John needs to go take a nap.

Mc Cain/ Larry Craig 08.They can take some more votes from liberal....

well I thought one of the other posts was the dumbest things I have read here but this is certainly in the running.

first of all, 2000 was the constitution working like the charm of a document it has for all this time and your argument is just sour grapes.(damn those grapes are longlasting, arent they?)
and its little wonder that the dems are the ones who are all about changing it as in the electoral college process...

and this comment that the right will kill obama if elected is just ramblings of someone who has a problem. and if you are worried about that, you should look at the record of the people who have disappeared or died that are linked to the clintons.
I have a long list of detailed cases if you care to see them sometime.

I think mccains choice will be a conservative governor of some state, probably a midwest to east coast state but I really dont think that my senator.....kay bailey....will accept if offered.

with all due respect, its time for your side to get their shit together on the 100 years comment because if you read the entire statement, he didnt say he was planning on the fighting going for 100 years. It was a comparison of our troops STILL IN europe and other places since the early 40's

If McCain picks Colin Powell as his running mate, there is absolutely no chance for the Dems to win. Personally, I hope he picks Mitt Romney who is a true conservative and born leader.

Why are all the libs still thinking that Iraq will doom McCain? American is winning. Heck, even super lib Angelina Jolie says things there are improving greatly.

Maybe McCain should consider a true conservative with traditional family values like Larry Craig, David Vitter, or Mark Foley for VP.

If McCain picks Colin Powell...

Powell was always a suck~up.

I think you'd be surprised if he choose Huckabee, especially if the Dems are dumb enough to nominate the Clintons.

Yes, I meant that to be plural. In fact it's becoming a threesome.

nah....I think its going to go something like this.

hillary will win a lot tomorrow but not enough and then she will unleash the lawyers and do whatever she can to get the delegates from florida and michigan even though she signed off on that deal as much as anyone. and the convention will be close but not so close as to cause any sort of major problem. and then she and bill will ride off into the sunset.....well actually no, not that.
and if she loses, which I believe she will, will she then FINNALLY divorce bill, since her aspirations might be done and finished and its a marriage of convienence for both? or is it really true love?
I think the only real sure thing is that she will lose or at least not win enough and then the lawyers will come out.
and one of the richest ironies in modern times may be in the offing....a clinton will have the SC rule on whether she is the presidential candidate or not?
