Comments on: Giuliani: Corruption-Laden Haley Barbour ‘On The Top Of Everybody’s List’ For VP http://thinkprogress.org/2007/09/05/giuliani-barbour/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:52:13 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Liam http://thinkprogress.org/2007/09/05/giuliani-barbour/comment-page-2/#comment-4066378 Liam Sun, 09 Sep 2007 06:04:31 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2007/09/05/giuliani-barbour/#comment-4066378 I live in Mississippi and I'm praying that someone picks Barbour as their running mate so that hopefully he'll step down as governor to campaign. Keep in mind, that I'm a Libertarian who usually votes Republican. But this guy is just too big an idiot and crook, IN MY OPINION, to support for any public office or position of public trust. So, PLEASE Rudy pick Barbour and insist that he resign his seat as governor to campaign with you. PLEASE!!

Working with his buds in DC, Barbour "got" one of the ms attorneys who won the tobacco settlement. The corrupt U.S. Justice Department sent Paul Minor to prison. They couldn't get Scruggs. They'll get Mike Moore. They've already stolen the money. Vindictive is their middle name. Working with his buds in DC, Barbour “got” one of the ms attorneys who won the tobacco settlement.

Barbour is the fat bully of the neo-nawzis in power. Elections are a democratic process. It's a waste of time to yammer about elections when you're living in a fascist state. Get over it.

The trust was dissolved earlier this year after its holdings were disclosed and immediately drew fire from activists because of numerous holdings in corporations unpopular among left-wing Democrats, including pharmaceutical, oil and defense companies, as well as Wal-Mart Stores (WMT, news, msgs) — where Hillary Clinton served on the board from 1986 to 1992 — and Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp

Hillary has an active interest in defense companies? where is the blog on this?

Pat Roberts is at the top of mine. He has been the biggest stooge for the White House hands down. If one follows the logic of wanting HB as VP then the nomination would have to go to McCain. The GOP would really just love to loose the White House to HRC and sit back and complain about what oughta be done other than relive their inept Dear Leader's legacy. Please be sure to remind all your conservative friends of everything they were promised by Dear Leader during his campaigns: Smaller Government, Social Security reform, and immigration reform. If they couldn't pull off any of those benchmarks of success for the GOP dream with control of all 3 branches of government then they are truly just full of crap, so remind them what a ruse Conservatism really is.
