McCain On Cheney In His Cabinet: "Hell, Yeah."

Politico:

He's a highly effective fundraiser in an election cycle in which Republicans are starved for cash, a hero to the wing of the party that views John McCain with the most suspicion. He has four decades of campaign experience, ranging from a short stint running Gerald Ford's election bid in 1976 to two successful races on the presidential ticket....

Going further, McCain even told Hayes in comments heretofore unpublished that he'd consider Cheney for an administration post. Asked whether he'd be interested in Cheney had the vice president not already have served under Bush for two terms, McCain said: "I don't know if I would want him as vice president. He and I have the same strengths. But to serve in other capacities? Hell, yeah."

McCain knows how to destroy his own campaign very well. Bring 'em on! Bring the Dickhead on your cabinet and you'll see how that cabinet would fall on your head.

McCain must be the most insane and dumbest politician known to mankind. But then again, Bush has already been 'blessed' with that title.

is mccain trying to lose this thing? i know cheney's loved all over the world, but they'd need defibulators on every desk.

[SnapShots]

McCain digs himself deeper and deeper into a hole he'll never be able to climb out of. Beautiful.

Be gone satan!

i hearby announce my willingness to be John Mc Cains senior advisor. I have no experience in politics, no college degree, and a bit of a drunk.


But I sure as hell could do a better job of running his campaign and telling him he's getting these folks to do it now...

The ties that bind.

Man, he's making this too easy.

[Mogamboguru]

Is he perhaüs only a scapegoat for an otherwise already lost cause - or is there much, much more evil and sinister in the making?

What would happen in the November 4th-elections , if Jo hn M cCa in would be "as sas si nat ed" by a "mar x ist s n iper"?

[Oldbuck]

That's all we need Cheney pulling another dumb ass strings we would have things screwed up. I really think Cheney is the one who start this whole mess and should be the one in jail today.

[suzyhein]

he's the man behind the curtain

[lvdragonlady]

Let's hope that the IMPEACHMENT process will have Cheney/Bush and others so busy that this will never happen.

[Soundofthunder]

"He and (Dick Cheney) have the same strengths."

John McCain said he is basically Dick Cheney. So, in truth, he's not running for Bush's 3rd term, but Cheney's first above ground term.

Heaven help us!

Someone should follow-up:

"Senator, you said that you and the Vice President had the same strengths. Could you list those strengths that you and Mr. Cheney have in common?"

[loax]

More proof that McCain and Bush are twins seperated at birth. WAR MONGERS!!

[studlyguy]

We Americans all should think who really hates America .is it the supposed evil countries Venuzuela and Iran and other oil countries doing very well with these high oil prices while Europe and America is driving our economy into the ground,so our Government oil men in charge and the middle men manipulating the oil prices higher helping the so called evil countries,while Cheney and the rest in Bush Regime store their money in those offshore accounts,ask yourself my fellow Americans who are the REAL terrorist who hates Americans more ,I'll state it the persons sitting in the White House are the real terrorist and hate Americans the most,then any of the so called evil countries.

[Bluejay00234]

Yep. That's gotta go over well. LMAO

[Roxanne2009]

Maybe Cheney could take him hunting...

[JScott]

Or we'll wonder if Cheney's ticker will last.

Cheney qualifications to be on McBush's " team"

He has not been to Iraq lately or every served his country in military uniform-so he is completly unqualified to comment or govern on national security/military issues.

He has lobbying entanglements---still getting paid by Haliburton while he is VP among others- so he falls off the straight talk express.

He should be indicted, impeached, or tired for war crimes for his part in the abuse of justice, criminal activity and crimes in Iraq that have occurred while this administration has been if office-coming up just a tad short on the ethics in office benchmark that McBush is setting for his potential administration.

In spite all of that, Cheney may be able to do two things for Mc Bush...raise money and attempt to give him conservatives that do not like McBush.

And because of all that..Cheney can do ONE THING for McBush....HELP ELECT OBAMA... so by all means bring him into your campaign!!!!! PLEASE.

[bronceye]

I would love cheney in the cabinet........with the door locked.

[HeyFella]

I would love him strung up from a tree.

[teacake]

Now that's a great idea!
