Answer to the PMs

Some of you may have heard about a former Republican senator calling for Bush to pick up a new Vice President for the coming election.

This caused me to stop and really look into Cheney's history and make an educated decision based on my own ideals on what I thought.

After taking a couple of days, I found that not only do I not care much for Cheney's views or personality, I don't really trust him either. When you look at the Bush administration, Bush has never acted very shady or secretive. But Cheney seems like he has a very hidden agenda.

So the speculation circulating is that - were Bush to choose a new VP - it would be John McCain or Colin Powell. More likely McCain than Powell.

Now, I think Powell and McCain would both be great choices. I feel that both of them are very intelligent men who gained their positions in life through honest, hard work and perserverance.

In the end, though, I think I would like to see Powell in office. I mean, he has shattered the glass ceiling for minorities in government. As the Secretary of State, I feel like he has lended a real sense of credibility to the Bush Administration in his voiced disagreement with some policy decisions, etc. I also think that Bush trusts Colin Powell and will listen to him.

So, I'm pulling for a Bush/Powell ticket in '04, and I think with this combination they would landslide the election.

I'd like to hear other opinions on this, but I don't want to hear flaming. Keep that shit out of this thread. If you feel like you need to bash Bush or whatever, make your own thread.

What exactly about Cheneys practices do you find shady.

I agree man. I think Chaney's past seems shaky. Colin Powell would make a grate VP. But, wasn't he Bush's first pick back in '00, but Powell turned him donw. I could be wrong, But I seem to be remembering that.

could Cheney's hidden agenda be Halliburton.

but you cant really single out just one person, you have to point the finger at the whole administration.

I think his dealings with Halliburton could really go either way. It's his general disposition and manner of speaking that come across like he has something to hide. There is a lot to be said for the little things such as verbage, intonation, body language, etc.

If anything Powell should be the President over bush.

I won't disagree with that. But go ahead and get out of the thread, Pyro, before you start some shit.

I dind't try to start anything. Your entire premise on this thread is to preach powell for the vice presidency job. I'm saying he should be higher.
