Subject: Cheneyburton to resign due to "health problems"?

The only hope the Repuds have now is to kick President Cheneyburton off the ticket. Edwards is killing them and will destroy Cheneyburton in the debates. Will the GOP corporate masters force him off the ticket using the smokescreen of his heart condition? It would be a helluva "October surprise" to see Cheneyburton withdraw and be replaced by McCain.

I think we need to get the word out about this possible event, without mentioning McCain. The more this possibility is discussed in the press, the harder it will be for the Repuds to get away with it later.

1. I agree, he will likely be replaced, but
probably before their convention. It's a lot more trouble to do it later.

2. Cheney is not going anywhere!
He runs the place.

And McCain will NOT run with Bush...he said so today.

9. McCain said today, that the chance of Cheney being replaced
is as good as Arizona freezing over.

He also said he will not be a Veep for Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, or Vegetarians.

3. Kerry MUST demand that Cheney be removed from the ticket
it's the only way to keep him on it. Win-Win.

11. That's actually a very good idea!
And on several levels too. It'll turn the focus on Cheney and his venality and criminality. It'll force Bush* to keep him at all costs. And the Repugs don't have any good response.

4. Only way Cheney will quit is under indictment.
And that too might happen!

If it doesn't, he'll be there in November, and that's a good thing!

I just hope he hangs in until hmmmm, October. Too late to launch another candidate, a the shrub will LOSE!!!!!

6. Don't we want Cheney on the ticket?
Lots of people that are not thrilled with a Bush/Cheney ticket because of Cheney would definitely vote for Bush if he has McCain on the ticket. Whatever it takes, Cheney must stay on the ticket.

7. Cheney won't be replaced
For those who are manipulating the Chimp for their own purposes, the last thing they want to do is to replace Potty-Mouth Cheney. Let's face it, Cheney is Shrub's best life insurance. No one is in the least interested in praying, voo-dooing or otherwise seeing Chimp-boy removed because the replacement is the installation of Satan himself.

So I suspect Chimp and Crashcart will carry on through the convention and the Fall campaign. Plus I am beginning to think many Repiglikkkans, at least the more moderate wing of the party, would not consider being second on the ticket. I think that includes McCain. Remember McCain and Chimpster had a rather serious personal row in 2000. And I can't see Rove placing anyone more extreme than Cheney because the theme of the convention once again will be "compassionate conservatism" even though we know what that means (and I think many more Americans are becoming aware of that through F 9/11 and forums like this).

10. Who are you listening to?
The Fundies would think the end times have come if Guiliani was in the ticket.

Guiliani is pro-choice & pro-gay rights.

When he left Gracie Mansion, he moved in with 2 guys who are old friends of his, & they are a long time couple.
