kapkomet Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I think that would kick ass. Go Joe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 (edited) I was a little surprised at Joe Lieberman being mentioned. Kerik was the first cabinet pick that I really didn't like. I thought Bush was doing a very good job of re-staffing up until Homeland Security. I am starting to remember why I liked Bush right after he took office the first time.

Rex Kickass Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Joe Lieberman is a real possibility because it would take away a DEM seat in the Senate. The governor of CT is GOP and would appoint the acting senator until the 2006 election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Finally Joe Loserman makes the right move. A Democratic Senator in a state governed by a GOP accepting a cabinet position would be akin to Zell Miller speaking at the GOP convention. It further shrinks a Democratic Minority in the Senate and is not the best interest in either the government or the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't you one of the guys a few weeks ago screaming that Bush should accept and appoint Dem's to some positions because he won only 51% of the vote? I guess Bush is just in a lose-lose situation no matter what he does/doesn't do with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Actually, no I wasn't. Please show me one post that I authored where I called for Bush to build a unity government. Personally, I think that the Bush administration has done such a poor job of protecting the institutions of our republic that I think any Democrat worth his salt would stay the hell away from the mess he created. If you ask me if I thought that Bush's win was historically narrow - or not an actual mandate, I'd agree that those were the statements I've made.

FlaSoxxJim Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Kerik was the first cabinet pick that I really didn't like. So you think Alberto "we can get around this pesky Geneva Convention human rights thing" Gonzales was a good pick?? I'm all for Hispanics in high level office, but this guy's a first-rate assmunch.

Actually supposedly that was Rudy Gulliani's doing. I guess he called GWB personally and highly recommended him. He also called to apologize when all of the dirt came out.

Rex Kickass Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Yes, but White House Counsel (Gonzalez) is responsible for the vetting of the nominee, in otherwords - this stuff should have been found out before the nomination was announced. And its not like he had to go far, he just had to read a copy of Newsday. So he either doesn't do his job, and as a result has been promoted to AG. Or overlooks warrants for arrest, improper use of government funds, mob connections and employing illegal aliens for the chief of Homeland Security and has been rewarded with a promotion to AG. Super fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Whoops turned out the nanny that Kerik cited as a reason to drop out of the nomination process may have never actually existed. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/16/national...d=all&position= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
