Cheney Won't Stay All Four Years: Agree or Disagree?

[Sparkly]

My prediction is that Cheney won't serve four years. He'll drop out for health reasons, and they'll appoint whoever they want running in 2008 in order to give that person the inside edge toward the GOP nomination.

Agree or disagree? (If you agree, do you have a guess as to who the replacement might be?)

1. His replacement will be

Condi

[7th_Sephiroth]

3. nope

wont go over well with the scatter gun toting, durnken, trailer living racist redneck kicks that make *'s base, cause not only is she a woman but she's a black and they dont want that

[Warpy]

20. Probably

I honestly thought that old poop would be replaced before the election, possibly by McCain. They didn't need McCain, it turns out. It didn't matter how disgusting the ticket was, the fraud "won" the election.

[7th_Sephiroth]

2. probably

i'm thinking he finally has the big heart attack or someone motivates him to his end

[Padraig18]

4. Unless he dies, he'll stay.

He loves the power too much to leave...

[msgadget]

5. We don't see him much anyway so it's be easy for him to have the

working conditions he requires due to his health. They work well together, no reason for him to leave.

6. This administration will want someone there who can run in '08

Cheney won't be able to for health reasons.

If the BFEE can get another one of their species in a position of VP to run in '08 they can extend their reach another potential 8 years. I can't imagine them giving up that opportunity.

[Sparkly]

23. That's what I'm sayin' too

It's about appointing the VP to give that person the inside track for the next election. (I shoulda put "health reasons" in quotes!) :)

[kedrys]

7. And in the tradition of picking someone worse, they'll replace him with...

Bill Frist.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. :scared:

[latteromden]

16. *shudders* I NEVER want Bill Frist in

the White House. Ever. x_x

[latteromden]

8. Disagree - and leave Rumsfeld there by himself to

tell Bush what to do? Not too likely.

[NV Whino]

9. Guiliani

I know all the arguments against it, but I can't see anyone else.

And just because Cheney might step down, doesn't mean he's giving up the power of running Bush.

[DemBones DemBones]

10. His departure may be to the big boardroom in the sky.

According to a bit in the Washington Post, a shoe store released a press release about how pleased they were to have VP Cheney visit them personally. It seems that for years he's ordered his shoes from them but a change in size made it necessary for him to pay a personal visit to the store in Tyson's Corner. It seems he now takes a EEEEE shoe.

What makes people's feet swell? Pregnancy, which I think we can safely discount. Congestive heart failure, which I don't think we can discount. What else? Renal failure? Also a bad sign, if that's it.

Edit: Looking at this, it seems I got carried away with the E key -- I meant he wears an EEEE shoe now.

[mattclearing]

11. Disagree. The hand behind the throne will never leave.

eom

[fnottr]

12. for sure

but he can still stay on as an advisor or something, while they groom '08s candidate as VP

[mattclearing]

22. Good call.

I can see that. Like Karen Hughes, only to mend his shriveled black heart, not to tend to his family.

[Yupster]

13. agree but

I was sure he would be replaced before the election so my predicticizing hasn't been too good on this subject so far.

[luxpara]

Screw Cheney -

BUSH won't last the next four years!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[luxpara]

14. dupe

BUSH won't last the next four years!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15. My money is on Jeb *

34. someone fresh?

how about ANYONE other than an asshole republican? How can you support ANYTHING the fascist right has to offer?

[Cheswick2.0]

17. neither bush nor cheney will stay all four years

I have thought for a long time that bush will be removed from office. I hoped it would happen in the first four years.

[rexcat]

18. If anything his heart (or what's left of it)...

will fail and he will die. His bypass surgery was over 20 years ago and he is not in the best of phsical shape. The type of pacemaker he has is for the worst of the cardiac patients. I don't think he will last another four years.

[Clarkie1]

19. Rove is too smart not to replace him with his choice of '08

[Pithy Cherub]

21. Cheney will be replaced either for health or Halibacon reasons.

The mepublicans can not afford to stay aligned with * for 4 years. They will have to show some form of a spaghetti spine and this would be a wonderful way to 'compromise' for 2006 & 2008.

[greenohio]

24. Who'll be president then?

[Donna Zen]

26. Cheney

Wurmser, Wolfowitz...iow, the cabal will still be in control. Think Borg not America.

[Donna Zen]

25. Replaced

The republicans are playing to win, and this provides them with several avantages:

• No messy primary (the Dem primary hurt many good people and cost big bucks)

• Let's them hand pick a PNAC puppet.

• Gives them the edge in the next election

• Provides free media as the corporate whores spread the love from junior to ?.

Personally IMHO, if Frist is willing to take down SS and succeeds, he may have sealed the deal.

[Sparkly]

27. That's the idea!!

It's how they get a hand-picked, unelected "incumbent" for 2008.

[Hippo_Tron]

32. Not to mention succeeding in taking down the Fillibuster...

But we'll see what happens.

[Cuban_Liberal]

28. The only way Cheney's leaving is in a box.

:puke:

[ThorsHammer]

30. IMO he'll leave for "health reasons" to set up their guy for 2008

His recent hospitalization gives them a perfect cover. He can 'resign' without admitting he was wrong, and they also get someone set up with essentiall 2-3 years of free advertising as VP.

[Hippo_Tron]

31. Santorum could be a possible replacement

Although hopefully he will have lost his senate seat by that time.

[lgardengate]

33. Condi Rice

thats my guess,if she has done what Mainstreem voters/media considers a good job during her first 2 years.Bush seems close to her and they seem to support the same ideas/beliefs.I can see Bush considering Condi as part of his "legacy" if he can manage to get her to be his "heir".
