After Dennis Kucinich's performance this evening, I have only one question
Who do you think Pelosi should pick for her VP?

3. ha! nice question--hope it becomes relevant.
i'm not sure who she should pick but i'd love it that she was in the position where she needed to decide on someone.

4. I think petgoat had the best answer
Though Barbara Lee would be fine with me, even though I'd lose my rep.

5. DK wasn't 'performing'
He was enacting a 'duty' as a member of the House.

At least there is ONE member who does his/her duty and 'due diligence'........

6. He 'performed' his 'duty' quite well, don't you think?

10. NO ONE (these days ~ ever?)
gets the presidential nod unless the "powers that be" (that wouldn't be you-and-me) say so.

Make sure you understand "your place" (and don't make me explain it to you again, ya hear!)

I voted for Kooch in the primary.

14. Ron Paul is a racist pig
He couldn't shine Kuciniches shoes.

13. Dennis doesn't have the "Presidential" look that Obama does
Lots of people think he's too liberal as well. He probably couldn't be elected in the current era, but he's a man of integrity and intelligence.

20. I'm really slow. Are you
hinting that Pelosi will make a Presidential run or that she is in control of Obama's VP choice? :shrug:

23. I've Already Popped The Popcorn...LOL
I laugh at the concept that all of a sudden booosh and cheney are impeached and the Pelosi haters wake up and realize she's now in the White House.

Methinks others need to do some thinking here...

Cheers...

25. Is This One Of Those Love/Hate Things???
Ya know like the old song...

So Pelosi becomes President...for a few months at the most, unless she declares martial law? I'm trying to vision this further...quite a fascinating scenario.

26. one of those "disappointment in a public servant" things
The fantasy is seeing Bush and Cheney sent packing. Pelosi's presidency is just the unavoidable side effect.

27. And What About The Other Criminals?
Rove and Wolfowitz and Pearle and Rumsfeld...what happens to them? Not as though I don't like the vision, I'd like to follow through here...let's examine what happens...especially when people all say "move on"...and what things are on and off the table.

Ya know people getting killed was the unavoidable "side effect" of pre-emptive war. Just sayin'...

Cheers...

:toast:

22. In one of my evil fantasies...
Edited on Tue Jun-10-08 09:36 AM by jgraz
Hillary gets nominated, is leading McSame in the polls and the Congress impeaches Bush and Cheney around October 30th.

Too bad, Hillary. You can be the first *elected* woman President... :rofl:
