D. Allan Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 New York Times, Op-Ed Columnist Every Veep Has His Day By GAIL COLLINS Published: August 20, 2008 "VICE PRESIDENTS!!!" Quote: Talk about bipartisanship! The Republicans could have an anti-choice, anti-union presidential nominee whose biggest domestic priority is cutting waste and reducing the role of government, along with a pro-choice, pro-union running mate who believes in large government programs to solve large American problems. When you have a 71-year-old presidential candidate, it’s particularly important that voters be confident that he’s backed up by an experienced and qualified vice president prepared to step in and do the exact opposite about everything except Iraq. Lieberman is certainly capable of dumping everything he has ever believed in and assuring the anti-choice, anti-union, anti-government folk that he is on their team. But then the magic fades and all you’ve got is a conservative Republican who likes the environment teamed with a guy who will do anything to move up. If that’s all you’re looking for, you might as well take Mitt Romney. H. L. Menchen was right! Quote dAb O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shane Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Lieberman will not be the VP. He may get a cabinet position. I will be quite surprised if McCain chooses a pro-abortion running mate because his pro-life position is what he uses to define himself as a conservative. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...
