After all, if something were to happen to him, he could leave Cheney in charge. Wonder how the war effort would go then?

I am an independent. Many friends and colleagues are staunch republicans. Most of them (who discuss politics and the war) agree that GW made a bad judgment call going into iraq. The few that stand behind him (that I know) are fairly transparent in that they will not speak ill of him because of their loyalty to the party (speak no evil).
His motives have been questioned and will continue to be questioned along with the wisdom of the decision.
That money would have been better spent to research and build energy independence... which why we are where we are today. If it were not for our dependence on oil... we would not be in there.

Maybe that's the problem. Because actually, if Cheney were to have a heart attack and die, Bush would become president.

I think that the endeavors & accomplishments of the Bush administration have been one of history's strongest testaments to the strength of the Constitution and the robust system of American government.
In other words: if Bush & Co can't bring it down, then who could? Certainly not Al Gore or John Kerry...

I've heard this repeated so many times, but I've never heard it explained.
Please, don't just think it is obvious - think it through. I just don't think it works that way. Can you tell me why you (or anyone else) thinks so?

No, Nancy would be next in the line of succession until another VP was selected. Reread my earlier post and think about it, and you'll see what I meant.

The Joy of Being Retired
Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and went into a shop. I was only in there for about five minutes and, when I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
I went up to him and said, "Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break"? He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a "Nazi." He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a "doughnut-eating Gestapo pig." He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.
Then he spotted a crack in the windshield and started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him, the more things he found wrong and the more tickets he wrote.
Personally, I didn't care. I came downtown on the bus. The car he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that read: "Bush in 06." I try to have a little fun each day, now that I'm retired. It's important to my health.

Please Don't Bash George W
With the recent resignations of Rove and Gonzales now the state of Texas, will really be infested with the varmints known as Chupacabra.
Unfortunately, sometime in Jan 2009 the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS will once again suffer from another major infestation of varmits of Chaupacabras when Old George W and company finishes his term and they migrate from D>C to Texas.
I am sure that the fine citizens of Iraq would welcome this varmint with open arms and hail him as a liberator.

Yesterday at work I said something VERY unkind about Bush and his promise in Jackson Square to bring New Orleans back.
He must have sensed it, because he got his revenge last night! I was innocently watching TV when I heard a helicopter that was so loud it made my house shake, and then got louder and louder - - so loud that I literally hit the deck and covered my head! First time in five years I have done that.
After it became obvious that it wasn't going to crash into my living room, I ran to the front door and saw the two Presidential helicopters receding just above the treetops. They were taking GWB from the airport to the Lower Ninth Ward, where he landed less than five minutes later. He is here for the second anniversary of Katrina, to tell us everything is wonderful (it's not) and we are well on the way to recovery (we're not).
I think he was close enough to me that I could have told him what I thought personally, had I been outside!

Doubt that you could have told him (rather noisy). Maybe you could have showed him.
