Do you think Bill O"Reilly and Rush Limbaugh should be on the GOP ticket for 2008?

Question

What would the next 4 years be like and can they bring this country back together?

Answer 1

Yes, as long as we can keep the bizarre sex scandals under wraps. People would freak.

Answer 2

Yeah that is just what we need {Sarcasm intended}. The most partisan man in America and a guy who can't even admit how partisan he really is. All this would bring is another 4 years which would end with the country being even more divided than it already is. I am a conservative, but even I can see that this kind of a ticket would be terrible idea. Good thing it is just in the realm of fantasy. What we need is someone who can appeal to both sides of the aisle. We need someone who is honest, has convictions and won't let his ego override good judgment. We need a person who will actually listen to what the people are saying.

Answer 3

Great idea. The whole country would be united in silence, because Bill-O would tell them all to "shut up." O'Reilly's sex scandals (he's already been charged with sexual harassment once) would permanently erase the memory of Bill Clinton, depriving neocons of one of their favourite jibes about the Democrats. Rush's drug addiction would result in a change in policy on the "War on Drugs" as it became apparent that he was snorting Vicodin on a daily basis. An O'Reilly presidency would also wipe out the memory of Bush 43, as an even more incompetent government would be in power. After O'Reilly stepped down, or was forced to, there would be a permanent Democratic hold on the presidency (or course, that might happen after Bush steps down--if he steps down).

Answer 4

They couldn't bring anything together and if they were on the GOP ticket, we would be looking for another party to oppose the dems. Look at how bad the "Contract On America" by Gingrich was, and they are ten thousand times worse - can't find a civil tongue in their mouths. Of course, they can't afford the pay cut either - President is only paid a quarter million a year.

Answer 5

Rush is on the record that is has ZERO interest in taking the pay cut. He would have LESS influence as President than he has now. The only way he would be elected is if the DEMOCRATS elected him to get him off the radio 3 hours a day. His first act as President-elect would be to resign.

Answer 6

It's hard to believe you're serious because there's no way that they, especially Limbaugh, could bring the country together. Limbaugh's way too conservative (or just obnoxious) for at least half the country.

Furthermore, I don't think they'd want to run. They enjoy their current jobs too much.

Answer 7

Oxycontin man and molester Reilly you have been drinking or republicans have reach a new low. Bring this country back where, they are the ones helping keep it separated. You need to leave the meth alone.

Answer 8

B.O and R.L are not the answer to our problems. Ignore them. Let them fade away.

Let's hope some people of reason and tolerance and openness surface soon and present themselves for candidacy.

Answer 9

Why not? They can't possibly be any loonier than than the current crop.

A few reasons why they wont run.
1) neither of them would ever be elected.
2) Neither of them would take a pay cut
3) Neither of them is familiar with the word "accountability."

Answer 10

Rush would be great! he would bring some class and refinement and a little humor to the office and of course he is right on almost all the issues. He was wrong on that ports deal but right on everythung eles

Answer 11

That ticket would energize the democrats, like you have never seen before.
