looks like we are separating the men from the boys......when obama and his cohorts started this by releasing the terror documents they opened a can of worms best left alone.....what they are getting is exactly what they deserve. and Cheney's speech was scheduled long before theOne chose a time and place to give his side. obama taking on the Bush administration is similar to his foolhardy attack of Rush. it only diminishes theOne himself to play these games. I stand with Cheney - any more pubbies want to stand up and be counted as RINOs go for it, it'll be easier to tell what side you are on for the next election.

Ridge was laughed out of town for incompetence.

As for Gates, blech. He prostituted himself long ago.

You are right on the fact that some of this article could be taken out of context! We must verify but if he did say this, then he must be labled as a RINO and he is a Tom Ridge Quisling!

“The GOP doesn’t like conservatives.”

We can make the GOP like conservatives again. And we must.

[SeattleBruce]

The GOP will become conservative again, and it must.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

More victimhood mentality. What political party does Cheney belong to? It’s the Republican party. We have the vehicle, and we have great Republicans. Add some more conservatives, if you’re unhappy. That’s all we need to do. We do not need to reinvent the wheel.

I’ve been a member of the Independent Party for a couple of years. We need to call it The Constitution Party.

Music to the Deomocrats ears! They have succeeded in eliminating your vote!

“I stand with Cheney”
++++++++++++

I’m not addressing this to you tioga, but Cheney is a REPUBLICAN and part of the GOP. Are you people here who are prepared to shoot the GOP in the head prepared to start with Dick Cheney? These are practical questions really - and get beyond rhetorical or dramatic points about how bad the GOP has become.

Ignore Ridge. After reading the entire article, it is clear the author had his own agenda and the title set off the uproar. The truth is Cheney has received much praise for what he did. We need to be cheering him. Cheney is a GREAT American and even liberal TV pundits had to admit that Cheney bested Obama--big time.

Cheney is gaining a newfound credibility and people are listening. Let's don't allow the author of this piece stir up more hostility than it deserves.

Who cares what Ridge said and McCain gets some things right and some things wrong but again, consider the agenda of the author.

[Vinnie]

Can’t decide which Cheney I like better.

Lynne is very quick on her feet. Heard her destroy a lib yesterday.

I thought Dick’s speech was somewhat subdued. Didn’t quite cut deep enough to hit the jugular IMHO.

[SeattleBruce]

We need to call it The Constitution Party.
++++++++++

There is a Constitution Party, an American Constitution Party, a Constitution Party of Texas...and probably more...

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Ridge a Quisling? I doubt it. He’s just stupid.

[eclecticEel]

In his audacious attack on a sitting president last week

Seriously, what the hell? Is any sitting President beyond reproach? Bush wasn't, nor should he have been; we have this little thing called a 1st Amendment. We're not in the business of electing emperors.

[cripplecreek]

LOL do you realize how many times I heard that mewling quisling speak during the last election?

Better prepare to lose because if you haven’t learned anything from the last election you deserve to lose.

And BTW yes, I choked back my bile and voted for that pathetic piece of garbage McCain in the last election. I won’t do it again. So be my guest and orate on the subject all you want, it really doesn’t matter if all you’re saying is “Let’s do it again”.

[tioga]

I want to know which Republicans will stand behind Cheney and start the hard work necessary to counter theOne and his plans. We need to unite......Cheney is out there and willing to lead. I stand with him, I am waiting for sensible Republicans in Washington to be men and stand up to the democrats. Are there any? or do they lean so far left they cannot lead the opposition?

[classified]

Touche! I don’t like the party being hijacked by RINOS either, but I’m not leaving the conservative Republican party because I know there are a lot of conservative voters who have realized that the enemy has infiltrated our party and were voted in as wolves in sheep clothing. Now Cheney is outing them. Finally Thank you Mr. Cheney. Liz please keep your father talking and keep defending him! Thank you!

Ridge is useless gsrbage and needs to be burned in the big tent with the rest of the socials registered as republicans.

[bannie]

oooOOooooo...is the name a misnomer, or should we all gravitate?
