......and yes if my Aunt had gonads she would have been my Uncle!
I think that all depends on how you’re related to your aunt. If she’s one of your parents’ sisters, then, yes. If she’s married to one of your parents’ brothers, then she wouldn’t be your uncle unless your real uncle is gay!
And this would have prevented 9/11?
The terrorists were already in the US and already prepared for what they would do.
I can't imagine that they needed orders from Afghanistan when the plans were already made, or money from Afghanistan when the funds came from elsewhere.
Despite a general disaffection with the administration (and calls among some of his closest advisers to replace Lieberman on the ticket), the robust economy and no major foreign or domestic conflicts are enough to secure a second term for Gore-Lieberman in November 2004, beating out the McCain-Kemp ticket by 51 percent to 48 percent. It was the narrowest margin of victory for a reelected president since 1828.
Dole played the Kemp card in 1996 and it didn't help. Why would McCain make the same mistake?
November 2008: The election is nicknamed the Family Feud, with the wife-and-husband Democratic Clinton ticket running against a resurgent George W. Bush (whose fortunes turned around after a tearful 2005 television interview about his alcoholism with Dr. Drew Pinsky) and his vice-presidential running mate, former Florida governor and brother, Jeb.
A vice president who couldn't assume the office of the president if necessary (because he'd already served eight years)? Not likely.
