Rochey - he was one of the more liberal Republicans before this campaign - meaning not necessarily his whole platform, but his willingness to go outside the party lines for a plank he believed in. Now, he's going against that whole mindset.
Yeah, that's what I'd heard about him.

I do wonder if he is just whoring himself out for votes right now and once he is in power will go back to the old him, I mean once he is in power they can't do shit to him.

Not a chance I'd want to take but it is a possibility.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

There is something that can be done to him... having both sides of the aisle in Congress against you can make for a very frustrating term in office.

If he goes against the GOP the Dems may support him, wouldnt that be ironic, a GOP president with a Dem house supporting him.

I say we disqualify both McCain and Obama and find someone who isn't a professional liar (aka politician) to do the job.

Republicans would kill them our fight, Dems would pay someone to do it for them.

Well, We had a discussion here a week or so ago, when all my family was back in town, about all the political stuff, and one thing that came up, is that we may want to look at what VP we're voting into the presadency. McCain's health can and probably will deteriorate while in office, leaving Paladin to take over :takecover:
Then if Obama's elected, I can see some of them old boys from the south (the ones who think the south never lost, they're still in a tactical retriet) shooting Obama, which leaves Biden :bangwall:

What would be wrong with Biden?

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

palin doesn't look like a moron, she is a moron.

Biden, just look at his campaining, he was bashing Obama more that anyone else before he dropped saying that he was inexperianced, now he's talking about how qualified Obama is, and how they're the best two to go to office.

Well that's kind of the same for all of them. I think only Richards didn't bash anyone :p
Biden and Obama have a long history of working together. Honestly I called out that pair summer 07. They just fit well together.
