While waiting for Fred Thompson inevitable nomination, we should start thinking of who is running mate should be. Here are some of my ideas:
* The Element of Fire: “Go forth and burn my enemies, VP!” This VP would also make a nice backdrop when Fred Thompson gives speeches.
* King Kong: Wouldn’t looks so diminutive when standing next to Fred Thompson as other VP choices would.
* Vengeance: America demands vengeance against our enemies, so vengeance might as well be the VP. Plus, if somehow Fred Thompson is assassinated, who takes over? Vengeance!
* A Mirror Pointed at Fred Thompson: It’s like having two Fred Thompsons!
* Mike Huckabee: He seems nice.
* His Right Uppercut: That will be great when the first reporter pesters him about his VP choice. “You want to meet my VP? He’s right here!” WHAM!
What are your ideas for a running mate?
War Machine.

[But will the public think he’s just a token minority? -Ed.]
The Silver Surfer.
A move from Galactus to Fred Thomson would be a promotion.
Experienced, intellectual equal: Duncan Hunter.
Duncan Hunter = War Machine.
Condi Rice – her gaze equals Frec’s. She is probably the only one who can play a stare game with him.
Chuck Norris, duh!
Tested by fire and genuine: Duncan Hunter
The Lefties hate him but could never nail him because he is clean as a whistle.
Hunter wrote the Secure Fence Act, extending the San Diego fence 854 miles across California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
He was in 173rd Airborne and 75th Army Rangers and has a son who served two tours in Iraq.
Thompson covers the South and Hunter covers the West.
Somebody much healthier.
Chuck Norris, duh!
Darn…..
That’s what I was gonna say….
The fact that no one else mentioined it before makes me think that you’re all losing the plot!! =0)
What is wrong with you people…..?!?!
mykidsmommy: I suggested that back in june.
How much would that ROCK?!?
General William T. Sherman – what the hell, they elect dead people in Illinois all the time.
Thompson Sub-Machine Gun
Condi can flatten any Democrat by a quarter bounced off her butt. Can we draft her?
CCHEMuse: but when Fred wins in ’08, he’ll challenge Chuck Norris and Bill Brasky to a 2-on-1 kickboxing match. They will both politely decline.
Condi’s too liberal for me, too mired in State Department thinking.
As I said in the Fredmas post, I’m torn between Benito Giuliani or Newt!.
Either one will drive the NYTimesWashPostCNNABCCBSNBCetc. around the bend, and isn’t that what life’s all about?
I’m all for the element of fire or Mike Huckabee.
Did anyone else hear Ron Paul getting laughed at while he was answering one of the questions last night? I couldn’t tell who was laughing, but it was hilarious!!! And then the Paulbots spammed the text poll. Too funny.
Newt!
Other options:
Death. We know he will be following Fred around anyways as Fred’s enemies lay by the wayside.
Fred Thompson. Having him as both would just be awesome.
Rush Limbaugh. Just to make the liberals cry even more.
Anyone. C’mon, does it really even matter? Fred would be President. All other positions are irrelevant.
The choice is obvious: Michael the Archangel! Or Gabriel. Whatever.
Ted Frompton.
Ditka!
There is only ONE perfect candidate for VP and that is Bolton! We’d get to elect him, Harry Reid doesn’t get a say and he’d get to tell the liberals and press to “get bent” for 16 years…obviously he’d be elected POTUS after Fred completes his term!!!
God.
Bolton’s moustache
One thing is for certain, after Fred! is elected, Jeri Thompson becomes the Hottest. First Lady. Ever.
How about this for a bumper sticker.
[Unfortunately, I won’t be constitutionally eligible for that position until 2014. I can run right after Thompson serves his eight years, though. Frank J. ’16! -Ed]
I SAY, PICK A MAN WITH EXPERIENCE ON THE JOB, AND SOMEONE WHO WOULD PISS OFF THE LIBERALS.
1st CHOICE: DAN QUAYLE
2nd CHOICE: JAMES WATT
IF NEITHER OF THESE GUYS, THEN I AGREE WITH NAMING BOLTON
DEAN CAIN…or my husband; they’re both really cute and fairly conservative. PLUS, my hubby has made strategery in WWII warfare an afternoon hobby for the 15 years we’ve been married, so I can vouch for him.
Its a toss up between CATS and Zod.
Sgt. Slaughter!!
Jonathan, Sgt. Slaughter would be fine but for one thing, during the first gulf war he “supported” Iraq. I know WWE is an act (sorry guys) but during wartime that act isn’t cool. Young folk watch that (I was one and Slaughter still ticks me off). Plus He was a real jarhead at one time he could have sad no to the act, he did’t. ’nuff said.
My two cents on VP nod, if Chuck is busy go for Mr. T.
Bid all peace love and understanding.
Pork and Beans’ bumper sticker is major awesomeness.
How about Ann Coulter? Not only would we have the hottest First Lady, we would have the hottest VP.
Frank J for Press Secretary!
Ann Coulter would have to go to therapy a lot.
Very simple… Tom Selleck. Guns for the guys and screaming thigh sweats for the ladies. Everyone is happy!!!
A bald eagle
Go to a function and look good? No problem
Visit and inspect the border? No problem
Don’t say anything stupid? No Problem
Married, with kids, no hanky panky? No problem
Intimidate Adversaries? No problem
VP fact: Can carry a hippie 2 miles in one claw
VP Fact: Can drop a hippie after two miles
An urn containing the ashes of General Patton.
No one said the VP had to be “living.” Besides, I think Walter Mondale has already set a precedent.
A rhododendron plant
A photograph of John Denver in a snazzy frame
Or a bowl of Count Chocula, part of a complete breakfast.
I’m already sick to death of this stupid presidential campaign. I fully expect the 2012 campaign to start any time. Overlapping campaigns. Sweeet!
JC Watts. Or is this supposed to be funny?
Apple Pie, because Thompson already has a lock on Truth, Justice and the American Way.
Toby Keith.
Mitt Romney. No, seriously.
Newt. Yeah, just kidding.
Fear itself.
Can you just imagine Frank’s tongue-in-check responses at press briefings?
An immovable object. Fred is already the irresistable force. Put them together and they’re unstoppable! Or, actually, they’re unstoppable and immovable. Or is that un-unstoppable and un-immovably unstoppable?
Whatever.
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance.
Judge Judith (Judy) Sheindlin — talk about an icy glare!
She just might be the only person alive who could — but why would she — kick Fred’s butt.
Judge Judy is a softy compared to Condi. When a quarter is bounced off Condi’s butt, all liberals yell “Duck!”. And they duck.
Very simple… Tom Selleck. Guns for the guys and screaming thigh sweats for the ladies. Everyone is happy!!!
eww….that made me throw up a little….
Toby Keith
Hey! Great idea! I’ve got a picture of him with my soldier ‘over there’ on my blog — he’s got the patriotic vote wrapped up tight….yeah – I’d support a Thompson / Keith ticket!!
Who am I kidding?? I’d support a Thompson / Paper Clip ticket!! =0)
Fred should choose either Bush or Cheney as a running mate. Then the leftys would never even consider trying to impeach him, no matter what kind of awesome terrorist killing he does.
Another vote for Ann C. The Thompson Administration will be full of blonde hotness. Press Secretary? Lauri Dhue. Secretary of Punching Dumb Monkey Liberal Faces? SarahK.
Michael Steele. I’d like to see him wipe the floor (metaphorically, of course) with Barack Obama in a debate.
Zell Miller!!!! Not only would it make the left turn red in the face and vomit uncontrollably, it would be sweet, sweet music to hear two southern drawls like theirs while they courteously kill terrorists and rain down hellfire on anyone else who needs it.
Although Ann would be awesome as VP, I’m pulling for her as Press Secretary. Can you just imagine the interchanges between here and ……. Helen “Medusa” Thomas? They’d have to have paramedics on station in the White House press room everyday. Ann would just tell her the truth by quoting some stupid remark made by a lib and Helen’s head would start to spin or worse.
Now that’s comedy!
“I’d like to see him wipe the floor (metaphorically, of course) with Barack Obama in a debate.”
Why metaphorically? I should think that literally would be much more entertaining…
Who am I kidding?? I’d support a Thompson / Paper Clip ticket!!
Thompson/Clippy ’08?
Lauri Dhue…secretary of “Can You Say Doooooughnut”?
Chomps… or Donald Rumsfeld. The combination of Fred’s awesomeness and Chomps’ (or Rumsfeld’s) unimpeded anger staggers the imagination. Entire nations would wet their pants, afraid that they’d be the first to offend the U.S. France would beg to become the 51st state (except we already have a state that makes pretty good AMERICAN cheese). Ammunition would not only be a constitutional right, it would be free.
How many liberals/commies/hippies/illegal immigrants/reporters do you think would be left after eight years of Thompson/Chomps(Rumsfeld)? Darn tootin’…
Zuul!
The stoner-dude from the old Dell commercials. Conservatives voting for Fred, stoners and computer geeks voting for stoner-dude minus lefties and hippies voting for She Who Shall Not Be Named equals a landslide for the good guys.
Have an Evil day
Although the Silver Surfer would be great, he was not born in the U.S. and so cannot be V.P.
Therefore I want Captain America as V.P. He is not dead, contrary to reports. Him and Fury cooked it all up with a LMD.
Not the crappy liberal Cap (Anti-Cap) of the modern era, but the Nazi-killing Cap of WW2. I mean he ran around teaching a kid how to kill America’s enemies! How cool is that!
OLLIE NORTH…….ITS A DREAM TEAM
Actually, Kim Du Toit should be press secretary, and either Rummy, Chuck Norris, or Jack Bauer should be VP.
In order:
Gen. David Petraeus – I can’t believe no one has mentioned him yet.
John Bolton – The libs would sh** a brick.
Gen. Russel Honore
Michael Steele – not much experience, but brilliant and would wipe Obambi off the floor in a debate.
Rush Limbaugh – The libs would sh** an even bigger brick.
Hire Ann Coulter as Press Secretary and we have 8 years of total bliss
I second the Rumsfeld suggestion, and Ann Coulter would be a good choice as well.
How about who ever the current President of the NRA is?
I agree with Fosterdad for Steele.
Another good guy would be Charlie Crist, the immensely popular Florida Governor. That could solidify a swing State that currently favours Hillary.
I thought a long time ago Duncan Hunter would be the best choice for VP, although it would be a gas to see what the lefties would do if Fred brought on Jeb Bush.
Newt for Secretary of State.
The strong nuclear force
But if it has to be a real person, Condi Rice would cause the dems to dis-cohere like somebody pulled all the bones out of a manatee and slid it down a linoleum hallway drenched in canola oil.
That would be funny.
JC Watts, Duncan Hunter, Michael Steele or Michelle Malkin
WOW! It took 68 comments to recommend Michelle Malkin. Of course, she’s not quite “minority enough” to be a better choice that Condi, so the Jackson/Sharpton collective would cry foul. Maybe Ann Coulter would be more plausible as VP (she is white & non-Jewish, so the libs can find a little similarity…), but Michelle ought to be director of homeland security and Condi be retained as Sec. of State.
However, I think Rice has the backbone to be Prez someday… any of you ever pissed off a Black woman who’s trying to protect & provide for her children? THAT’S advocation for responsible parenting. Woe to you if you did, and God bless those women for not making excuses to abort their young.
How about Sam Waterston? Yeah, sure – they could call it the “Law and Order” ticket, and Sam could bring along all his friends from Divided We Fail.org.
Hey, it’s just about the only way Fred’s gonna win any Independent voters…
Two words: Optimus Prime.
John Edwards!!
This choice would work great for foreign relation purposes, since Fred could offer them some pederasty with little Johnny; as is their custom, before discussing business.
Gunny Ermey, If not VP, the White House Spokesman.
Joe Lieberman
It would leave the few remaining intelligent DemoCRAPS someone they “could” vote for, while offering the first “Cross-Party Ticket”.
The more I think about it, the more I like Michael Steele. Thompson/Steele even sounds good. Anyway, on further reflection Ann Coulter would make a much better UN Ambassador and put Michelle Malkin in as Press Secretary. Gunner Ermey should be Secretary of Defense. Actually, he should be JCS Chairman, but you kind of have to be a 4-star General to get that job and Ermey worked for a living so that counts him out. But that does give us the chance to promote Gen. Petraeus to JCS Chairman. Clint Eastwood should be FBI director and Rush Limbaugh should be Secretary of State. Hire the CEO of Wal-Mart to take over government procurement. If anyone would know how to save money, it’d be this guy. Finally, the first Supreme Court vacancy goes to Janice Rogers Brown. Dare the Dems to vote against the first black woman on the Supreme Court.
JC Watts
Condi Rice
Richard Shelby
Only one other man could instill fear in terroists & liberals (but I repeat myself) – Bruce Willis! They worked so well together in Die Hard 2.
And Dennis Franz could head up Homeland Security. So long as we don’t have to look at his pinkytoe at press conferences. He couldn’t do much worse than Chertoff.
