Time for Quayle for President in 2008

none | 2-3-2007 | Andrew Schmidt

[AuH2O]

I was looking at the Republican's running for President in '08 none really get me excited other than Gov. Jim Gilmore, but not sure he has the name id nationally to win. I think for Conservatives their is only one clear choice we should urge VP Dan Quayle to run for President in '08. He is a solid conservative, hasn't changed his opinons like Gov. Romney, nor has he sold out like John McCain, as for Rudy he was a great mayor, but he is wrong on the family values issues, I am not too sure we would get Supream Court nominees like Alito, Roberts and Thomas from him. So, I think we should all write letters to VP Quayles office urging him to run in 2008.

The country needs him now to lead.

Keep me posted. I am wide open right now.

[Guyin4Os]

I would vote for Quayle if he ran. But he won't run. A. He cannot get the nomination. B. The Potato(e) incident would be front and center for the next 2 years.

[billorites]

What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I can see the references by the left to quail and shotgun blasts . . .

[struggle]

All 30's kids will remember him as just a fool, no matter how smart or cultured he seems. The media drive-by killed him.

[CaliGirlGodHelpMe]

I hear what you're saying but Dan Quayle has a huge image problem which I don't think he could overcome. People remember him as an ineffectual doofus, and as unfair and untrue as it might be, it would be very difficult to make people see beyond that.

[Semi Civil Servant]

He's been toast since "P-O-T-A-T-O-E".

But what's growing on top of the toast after 15+ years might make a great antibiotic.

[John W]

Right, and "W" took his turn.

[devane617]

Hmmm...It is sad it has come to this.

[Tex-Con-Man]

You must be joking.

[Blackirish]

He'd make a great prez. The media savaged him for fun....it was sick. If talk radio and FOX news had been up and going at the time things might have turned out better for him.

[cripplecreek]

[Miss Marple]

After going back and reading his book "Standing Firm" years later, when I knew all of the players, I think he isn't as smart as I thought (and I originally backed him in 2000). In his book, he says that his Chief of Staff, BILL KRISTOL, intimidated James Baker with his intellectual expertise and that's why Baker wouldn't allow him into campaign meetings. (Baker said it was because Kristol leaked everything to the press.)

Now I ask you, do YOu think Kristol intimidated James Baker? HAHAHA!

[Dahoser]

I think he has some really good ideas, but he has too much difficulty speaking extemporaneously. I've heard him rolling along in an interview sounding impressive and then, SPLAT! He totally flubs an answer and it's over. Too bad.

Frist/Lott '08!!!

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Digging up Reagan and running his corpse would get more votes than Quayle. As others have typed, Quayle's reputation was destroyed by the hating left wing media.

[MinorityRepublican]

You didn't remember what happened in 1990?

[spikeytx86]

I promise to vote for Duncan Hunter if no one ever brings this up again!

[garv]

Another set up too. Everybody yukked it up about misspelling the word, but nobody reported that he was reading to the kids from a flash card that had the word misspelled on it.

The Bush 9/11 crap was the same thing, he's reading to school kids, but he's supposed to jump up and run around screaming when they tell him about the attack. If Hillary had done either one it would have been either a right-wing conspiracy or a demonstration of keeping her cool in a crisis.

[muleskinner]

"In the next couple of Days i will have draftquayle.com up so we can sign a petition..."

Who is the "We", White Man? (Lone Ranger joke punch line)

[AngrySpud]

" ... Supream Court nominees."

Did Quayle spell that?

[mmanager]

Look at how pathectic our party is now. Gosh, who do we really have? Hunter is the only real deal, can't get the ticket and Rudy and McCain our Bulls##t artists.

Get Newt out there and let his ideas start debate. He's got the same track record as Rudy in terms of his personal life. We can overcome this, we have 21 months.

We keep lowering the bar. By that, it will shape the future of the party.

[GoldenPup]

Has Quayle gone back to school to learn how to spell? The turkey has about as much chance to becime POTUS as the other turkey on Thanksgiving!!

[detch]

Dan's skipping Vietnam duty through influence peddling will keep him out forevermore.

He tried to play it both ways. "I was proud to serve." "How dare you impugn the motives of officers getting in the Guard."

Sorry, Dan. Stay home.

[ErnBatavia]

LYNN Cheney - drive the left zonkers.

[ml/nj]

People like you think they're humorous, but you're not. You're just carrying the Dims' water for them.

Quayle was among the best and the brightest of us and he just had to be destroyed. In case you don't know, Quayle was visiting a classroom and a teacher was giving a spelling lesson. She held up a card with the infamous (second) spelling and Quayle read it.

Quayle would make a great President. (Marilyn would be a great First Lady too.) But people like you will make sure he never gets back to Washington.

"Cheney/Steele 2008"

Which one, Dick or Lynn??

[detch]

To Andrew Schmidt:

Don't waste your time drafting a petition.

Maybe one for Fred Thompson would be more worthy.

[misterrob]

He did that all by himself.

[SIDENET]

It was one of the worst tickets I could come up with on short notice.

:-)

[gcruse]

I'd as soon cast my vote for a basket of toenail clippings than Dan Quayle, that over-married buffoon. His wife, possibly, but not him.

[blowfish]

Quayle was among the best and the brightest of us

Oh, puhleeze. As a speaker the guy made George Bush look like Winston Churchill. A malaprop machine.

[TomGuy]

Why not?

27.7% (non-registered) in the FR poll want Gingrich to run.


Dems would have a field day with either Dan or Newt -- as the Dems would be almost certain to get the White House back.

[Democratshavenobrains]

The is the funniest thread of the week.

[woofie]

Wouldnt this hurt his golf game?

[woofie]

I like that idea

[FrankR]

"The Potato(e) incident would be front and center for the next 2 years."

Isn't that pathetic. That fat-ass boozer kennedy can drown a girl and get re-elected over and over; clinton can do the dirty deed with monica in the oval office; franks can have a gay brothol in his basement...but Quayle mis-spells a word and it's off to the junk heap with him...forever.

The liberals (read: socialists/communists) didn't need guns to take over America...they just needed TELEVISION.

[mountn man]

Wow, denigrate a man about spelling. Either your a Dem or a recent convert.

Besides, what word did he misspell, that you feel the need disparage him?

[carola]

If he could talk like Newt, he'd be unstoppable. But unfortunately he talks more like W. In fact, if he could talk like Newt, he would already have been president.

[Wormwood]

The man is a political joke. Nothing we say on this forum will ever change that.

Let's move on.

[MadIvan]

He's a good man, but his "brand" is far too damaged for this to be a viable prospect.

Secondly, the Republicans desperately need to break with the Bush Era, to show they're still fresh and new. Quayle was the Elder Bush's VP - hardly the break required.

Regards, Ivan

[TBP]

Seems like as good a choice as most of the others in the field, better than some.

Do you know that he turns 60 this week?

[Bailee]

If he is the best we got. Its gona be a long decade for the conservatives.

[mhx]

I don't think it's his time, but I would be interested to know who he's supporting.

[cincinnati65]

It is so sad to say, because I like the man, I like his values, I like his conservatism, and I like his principals. Too bad the mainstream media politically assassinated Quayle years ago.

Probably the best candidate for the job and absolutely zero chance of being elected, much less getting the nomination.
