If Fred Thompson is top of ticket, what GOP actor should be his running mate?

[yurbud]

If Fred Thompson isn't the nominee for the GOP, there's no point in even holding the election. A dirty jockstrap could beat any of the other guys in the primary.

Thompson is at least presentable and coherent, and for people who don't follow issues very closely that's enough to make him competitive.

To be as safe as possible, they should back him up with another GOP actor as his running mate.

But which one?

Arnold is out because he wasn't born here
(thank fucking god)
but that still leaves plenty of others:

Dennis Miller


Bruce Willis


Bo Derek


Ted Nugent


Heather Locklear


Pauly Walnuts



Elisabeth Hasselbeck
(of the View & Survivor)



Fred Grandy
(Love Boat's Gopher
and GOP rep from Iowa)




Skeletor


Alf

[Hawkeye-X]

1. Willis is not GOP

He's more Liberterian leaning. He denounced Chimp and the war.

Hawkeye-X

[yurbud]

3. he shifted with the wind then. The GOP claims him

[mcctatas]

2. What about that Cooter guy from Dukes of Hazard...

or maybe he should be top of the ticket and Fred can be veep...

[JI7]

4. Gary Coleman

the Republicans were considering running him in California for Senate.

[yurbud]

6. Instead of tossing his hat in the ring, they'll just toss him in

[devilgrrl]

5. Shannon Dougherty

or Chuck Norris

[yurbud]

7. Those two would even make Bush look nurturing and smart by comparison

respectively

[Azathoth]

8. Skeletor. At least he's up front about his agenda. n/t

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

9. I hope you'll be gracious enough to permit a write in...

...and then please explain how you could've possibly overlooked Pee Wee Herman.

[yurbud]

14. He's a republican? or just one of their rent-a-gimps like Gannon?

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

21. I don't really know anything about Paul Reuben's ...

...politics, I'd just like to see him standing next to Fred Thompson (in Pee Wee character) as his running mate.

[yurbud]

29. that would be a good GOP image vs. reality pair (guess which is which)

[C_U_L8R]

10. What about the talent-deprived Baldwin brother

y'know... the freepy-fundie one

[yurbud]

13. I actually liked him in Threeway

[Left Is Write]

31. Stephen.

[Perky]

11. The answer is obvious: Kirk Cameron

Afterall Dobson believes that THompson is not A christianso Fred Will need to Ticket balance.

[yurbud]

12. What does Dobson think of polytheist Romney then?

[baldguy]

15. Skeletor

After all, he has experience as SS...er - HSS chief, so he'd be perfect.

[zulchzulu]

16. No brainer, baby! It's Pat Sajak!

[baldguy]

36. He looks like a no-brainer - he has no brain!

[yurbud]

40. Kind of like Dan Quayle without the gravitas

what is it with weak chinned white guys and the GOP? Are they trying to prove their shaky manhood?

[zulchzulu]

17. No wait! Shannon Doherty!

[terrya]

18. Good choice.

Sajak isn't just GOP, he's seriously right wing.

[zulchzulu]

20. I changed it... it was a dupe...so...

I do think Pat could double up with Vanna and really help bring the Repug message in short, easy to understand phrases...

C ( ) ( ) ( ) U P T I ( ) N


:rofl:

[ForrestGump]

46. I didn't know he was a right-winger

but he's creeped me out ever since I first saw him and there's just part of me that, irrationally, wants so much to deck him with a smack to his smarmy face. I have a visceral reaction to him just as I do to Larry King.... :scared:

[Geek_Girl]

19. How about Brittney Spears

nt

[merh]

22. oh come on

Nugent is the man - free cross bows and .357 ammo for everyone. :eyes:

Of course, rocket launchers for only them most deserving, no state funded charity, but arming the masses is what the founding fathers wanted. :silly:

[ncteechur]

23. Tom Selleck

[uppityperson]

32. Tom Selleck? noooo. Almost want Walnuts just for his name.

Thompson and walnuts!

[youthere]

24. NOne of the above..I write in:

[youthere]

25. NOne of the above..I write in:

[yurbud]

43. Can Dick Cheney be vice president AGAIN?

[BurtWorm]

26. The late Buddy Ebsen.

:patriot:

[gatorboy]

27. He's presentable because he's Hollywood (Don't they hate Hollywood?).

It always sticks in my craw when I think about what hypocritical fools Republicans really are. On one side they'll lambaste "Hollywood" and then fall over one another to run any actor for office that shows a hint of conservatism.

[IChing]

28. What about Mary Carey?

[ComerPerro]

30. Was gonna say Dennis Miller until I saw Skeletor. Thompson/Skeletor 08!

[yurbud]

39. a benefit of skeletor: he makes Thompson look younger & more healthy

[ComerPerro]

42. I was gonna say the same thing, but with the names reversed.

[KamaAina]

33. Um, Alf's even more of an alien than Ahh-nuld

tohugh, since he eats cats :puke: , he is presumably a repuke!

[yurbud]

38. Alf has less of an accent though

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

34. If they want the geek vote, they'll pick Chuck Norris

and Willis switched sides. He's not GOP anymore.

[KamaAina]

35. Rudy Giuliani

he's got more credits than some of these mugs:

[yurbud]

37. skeletor is his alter ego. As is skeletress, the cross dressing republican mayor.

[David Zephyr]

41. Bo Dereck. She's no longer a "ten" so she'd make a great GOP #2

What a group of ugly people the GOP are.

[sofa king]

44. What, nobody wants to dig up Saint Ronnie?

Has anyone mentioned to the GOP that if cloning were legal they could have Saint Ronnie the Second?

[DFW]

45. Sajak or Selleck

Either one: smug, self-righteous, thinks they were born the rightful owners of the world---representative of the thinking of the Republican Party leadership in every way.

[Bravo Zulu]

47. Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood was elected the Republican mayor of Carmel.

[WilliamPitt]

48. John Malkovitch

[tom_paine]

49. Paulie Walnuts, who really WAS a gangster early in his life

(though not an actual made Mafioso)

will provide the needed muscle and intimidation to the VP debates as our VP nominee suddenly "meets with an accident".

And Paulie sez' "I dunno NOTHING!"
