“We’ve had a lot of discussion among people that I respect and trust about the future of the country and we are going to continue having these discussions over the next four or five months,” Webb said when asked about running for president in a question-and-answer session after his speech.

FACT:

Sen Warren was against arming al Qaeda (”rebels”)
unlike the GOP (excepting Sen. Cruz) which supported
the First Moslem Fraud.

This turncoat and creep who ran an antisemitic campaign against his opponent (as detailed by Ann Coulter) thinks he is going to be President. He’ll get Pat Buchanan and the paleocon vote, but for the rest that remains to be seen.

He’s the piece of crap who let his “friend” and fellow vet go to jail. He gave his “friend” his gun and let him try to enter the capitol building with it.

Probably running for the vice-president position, he would make a great one for Elizabeth Warren which is very scary. He picks up votes in Virginia which is 51/49 Dem/GOP split right now and would be her “Dick Cheney” covering her lack of national security experience. Just depends on whether he would put up with her.

Also, Mark Warner from Virginia is going to be in the running for VP after he wins his Senate seat this year. Not even going to be close.

“Also, Mark Warner from Virginia is going to be in the running for VP after he wins his Senate seat this year. Not even going to be close.”

Warner will win his Senate reelection by 25% or more. He’s as close to God as anything in Virginia could be. People in this state worship him.

Democrat War on Women alert!
Maybe this time the pornographic snuff books he wrote that were ignored by the WaPo when Allen brought them up will be taken seriously and this blowhard jerk will be exposed.
