McCain In 2000 Would Have Chosen Cheney For VP

August 27th, 2008, 7:55 PM EDT

And Cheney would have accepted.  He would have chosen Donald Rumsfeld as part of his national security team as well.  McCain said in 2001, “I think this is the strongest team…in terms of national security…that we’ve ever had.

  2. hey Ive said that I would pick Cheney and Rumsfeld.

    the left hates them because they both are patriotic Americans who have done outstanding work

  3. How reassuring, Bradley. I wouldn’t have expected any more of you. Cheney and Rumsfeld patriotic Americans? They would be two of the worst since Benedict Arnold - lying and conniving to get their own crazy way - not trusting the American people enough to tell them the truth. Disgusting traitors to all the great American ideals.

    oh John, there you go again…

    Youre welcome to point out even ONE lie, but there are none!

    OH the yellow nigger cake thing, the liars Valerie Plame and her husband? he says that Dick Cheney sent him to Africa to look for radioactive material? Joe Wilson, thats his name, its on record, he claimed Cheney sent him! Joe sits around and watches tv then comes back and said no he didnt see any of the yellow cake, so that means that it doesnt even exist in all of Africa and it never has since mankind evolved from apes 1 million years ago.

    So you libs take this as evidence proving a negative? which by logic is impossible since you would have to be God in order to qualify that you know every last molecule in every last molecule position in some given area, in this case the continent of Africa over some span of time… total idiocy

    this argument you make is preposterous! thats a political schtick used for attention getting, its not based on Cheney actually lying. You should be more careful of your statements before parroting them to your own discredit and embarassment.

    Not trusting the American people…

    This one is classic. It goes like this: we libs tried to infiltrate and steal government secrets to sell them to enemies of the United States during wartime. We libs were unable to get the secrets so we libs accuse the Bush admin of being too secretive.

    If the libs had GOT the secrets? they would have given them to enemies as it was discovered in 2002/2003 as dems were kicked out of the foreign relations committee and their computers seized.

    They also did this game where they demanded President Bush give up top military secrets to defend the war. if he did? then he would be guilty of an impeachable offense. If he didnt? then he would be guilty of an illegal war and be subject to impeachment. what a coincidence, thats just what Saddam wanted and terrorist leaders on al jazeera, birds of a feather who are anti American think exactly the same way whether they are in the US congress, US news media or international islamic radical terrorists

    the hatred for Cheney and Rumsfeld is based on anti Americanism, from people who are traitors and from the ignorant masses, typically liberals who love to hate since they cannot figure out details

  5. Pathetic Bradley, just pathetic. Cannot be bothered with flat-earthers - you have no idea and obviously don’t want one. Just the sort of nodding-dog religious nutcase that Cheney and co have been sniggering at and using mercilessly for years. Millionaires and suckers - the two wings of the Republican party.

  6. John, what is a snigger? this sounds too close to “nigger”.

    is (s)nigger some kind of British thing among the commoners?

    or is it a racist/racially motivated kind of thing?

    Im not a flat earther, you need to wise up

  8. Hey Im not the one who said a racist word here and now you expect ME to go look it up? you want me to do your dishes and pick up your dry cleaning? Im not a web browser.

  9. Bradley…you’re an idiot wrapped in a moron.

  10. How does Colmes keep getting his drivel under the “Best of the Blogs”? It obviously isn’t the best of anything. Has new a version of the “Fairness Doctrine” been introduced where instead of giving equal time to political views we have to suffer from a giving equal time to inane inept vapid vacuous morons like Colmes?

    I hear FOX News tried to be fair and balanced but they couldn’t find a conservative as completely and utterly insignificant as Alan Colmes.

  11. The joke about enlightened progressives like Colmes et. al. is that they still need to pay the bills just like the next media whore (politicians especially included). The risk as I see it is that post-racial is less central in this day and age - society has actually moved towards something like post-political. Obama & Co can harp all they want about this being the moment but everyone knows it’s just a show. There is no moment and there is no inevitable leader who shall emerge from behind the off-white columns. We’ll just TiVo the democrat party - no nothing, blow hard wannabe populist who just want to skirt all responsibility and hoard a larger Federal Budget to their friends and cronies; all in the name of bettering society. Funny. Nancy Pelosi’s net worth is in the range of $100 million and she has the audacity to pretend she is any different? Please. Obama stands to make how much through all of this? He’s already made millions as in many. He’s the same whore as the next one, but he does it in the name of some great benevolent mantra? Why? Because he’s the chosen one? Please. I’ll take an honest crook over a lying one any day - at least I know what I am getting.

  13. Wow. A Republican supports a Republican President right after the election.

    Shocking.

  14. Bradley - you need an African American president.
    For your own good. Yes, we are all equal.

    Your logic is flawless. Republican Incompetence should be rewarded again? Your team has a terrific record, don’t they?

  15. Another thing Bradley. What the hell are you doing blogging at 3:42 am? Are you writing your incoherent rants between masturbation sessions?

    Ohhhh Cheney. You are sooooo strong. I want you to shoot me in the face. Ooooh Romney…I love your sexy hair….

    go get a girlfriend…even if you have to pay to spend time with her. sad sad sad.

  16. Billy:
    I don’t think any girl (no matter how skanky) would have Bradley.

  17. Hey Im not the one who said a racist word here and now you expect ME to go look it up?
     
    Hey bradley, are you a liberal trying to make conservatives look bad?
      
    I have nothing against exposing the racist underbelly of the democrat party, like say when a democrat calls obama a “black boy,” but don’t act ignorant. There’s more than enough real racism to not have to make it up.

  18. Why, T2P, I’m shocked! You’re not defending your boy Bradley?? A good conservative would make up excuses for his posts and say things like, “Bradley’s post was taken out of context. You hateful liberals are always taking things out of context! You’re un-American, unpatriotic communist pinko bolsheviks who hate our troops!”.

  19. Why, T2P, I’m shocked! You’re not defending your boy Bradley?? A good conservative would make up excuses…
      
    Damn tdro. You really have a problem with black/white thinking. You have views and in your mind you force everyone to fit within your views.
      
    Let me ask you this….
      
    You say you believe in peace.
      
    Make peace with bradley and suntan. If *YOU* can’t even get along with a fellow american on a blog, how do you expect countries to get along.

    Listed Doctor, I didn’t ask for your evaluation, so don’t even think of sending me a bill for your services.

    Don’t worry. People of your political persuasion don’t want to pay their own bills. Thus the need for universal healthcare.
      
    How’s that “peace” thing going with suntan? Any progress?

  22. T2P~ Touche, You make a very valid point.

    Billy Smith and TDRO~ You both are pathetic. Billy, it sounds like you’re the one sitting up late at night doing that.

  23. “Don’t worry. People of your political persuasion don’t want to pay their own bills. Thus the need for universal healthcare.”

    I hope people like Gayle and you never have to lose everything you own just to pay astronomical medical bills.

    Companies are cutting insurance benefits for their employees and insurance companies have higher deductibles with less coverage.

    It’s pretty sad when a country will spend trillions on a useless war destructive war, but won’t help it’s own citizens.

    If I’m pathetic because I think we should help our fellow man, then I stand guilty as charged - and proud of it.

  24. Hey bradley, are you a liberal trying to make conservatives look bad?

    I have nothing against exposing the racist underbelly of the democrat party, like say when a democrat calls obama a “black boy,” but don’t act ignorant. There’s more than enough real racism to not have to make it up.

    T2P if you think Im a liberal then there is something wrong with your thinking process. Im a Republican first and also a conservative.

    and FYI to others out there who probably didnt know, 3am EST is 12 midnite PST, Pacific time, Tijuana.

  25. You hateful liberals are always taking things out of context! You’re un-American, unpatriotic communist pinko bolsheviks who hate our troops!”.

    he was THINKING that, it goes without saying, and the paragraph can be reduced to a single character, “.”

    so if you see that period character, you know what it means
