Default Conservatives Arrange A Bloodless Coup d'état Get Rid of Bush and Cheney

President Bush's approval ratings have plummeted to 32%, and dropping like a sabotaged port on the eastern seaboard. Dick Cheney weighs in at 18%, roughly equal to what Osama bin Laden polls in certain liberal districts.

With the U.S. government in utter shambles & all surviving soldiers from the Republican Revolution in full retreat, a new and grand strategy is needed to avoid permanent minority status for the GOP.

What sort of strategy?

How about a bloodless coup? A gut-wrenching, legitimate BREAKING NEWS coup, crafted and staged by conservatives?

Here's how it would come down:

-Dick Cheney resigns.

-President Bush nominates Tom Tancredo as VP.

-Once Tancredo is confirmed, Bush retires to his Crawford ranch to be with non-hostile tumbleweed and "good-hearted, hard-working" illegal immigrants who consider Bush's English perfectly normal.

-Tancredo ascends to the Oval Office and nominates Duncan Hunter as VP.

-Immediately after being sworn in, Hunter convinces Tancredo to buttress the Mexican border with about 100,000 armed troops. Responsible federal, state and local law enforcement agencies are ordered to round up any and all illegal immigrants for immediate deportation.

The Tancredo-Hunter team would be able to tackle many other problems exacerbated or caused by Bush. Like missteps on the war on terror, out of control spending, huge federal deficits, FEMA dysfunction and so forth.

This dynamic duo would surely restore public confidence enough to assure GOP control over both houses of Congress in 2008.

Best of all, they would give Republicans a terrific presidential ticket for 2008!

I'd have no problem with Tancredo and Hunter in the White House but I'd certainly prefer another way.

I might agree with you, Bonnie, but the W. administration has been allowing Congress to spend like drunken sailors, and contrary to conservative principles, the government has GROWN like never before. I still have a lot of heartburn over the Patriot Act, mainly because there are few, if any, procedural mechanisms against abuse of the Patriot Act.

William Lind, who is a military historian and a member of Free Congress Foundation, has said more than once that this administration is ANYTHING but conservative. There is little or no difference between what the Dems are doing and what the W. administration is doing and he's right. What we have in the White House today, is a typical Washington Establishment administration.

The late President Reagan must be rolling in his grave.

There are different categories that the term conservative can apply too. Reagan was not fiscally concervative either, but he was a better speaker

With a liberal for a President, we're not likely to have a conservative government, and George W is a LIB DIM Snake in a PUBS clothing.

I don't like how its handled, and I know enough about Hunter to say yea or nay on him.

Tancredo, on the other hand, I do like. If he had a shot, he'd have my 100% support. But no one coming out of the House will stand a chance.

"Spending like drunken sailors"...I like that line!

And there's one big difference that I see...Bush is trying to win the War on Terror with all the tools at his disposal...Dems just want to come home and hope it all goes away.
