Dick Cheney takes a shot at Sarah Palin
Politico ^

Posted on 09/02/2011 2:47:58 PM PDT by Ira_Louvin

On Laura Ingraham's show, Dick Cheney gave this barbed answer on whether Sarah Palin was the right choice for vice president in 2008:

“Well I’ve never gotten around the question of her having left the governorship of Alaska midterm. I’ve never heard that adequately explained so that I could understand why, how she decided in her first term to step down and still be—I’d like to know more about that.”

The comment followed a longer reflection from Cheney on the need for a vice president to have "thick skin."

Probably just doing what Barbara Bush told him to say. I know there’s a Cheney cult that thinks he’s conservative, but his only conservative cred is a willingness to use military force (as long as he didn’t have to serve of course, “better things to do”). On most other issues he’s a globalist Bush-ite.

This is intended to divide the GOP from the 0bama propaganda arm.

Dick did not see Undefeated, not enough people have. Palin should and hopefully will get her reason across, it convinced me and should convince all reasonable people.

Well Dick you could go out of your way and pick up her book "Going Rogue" wherein she spends considerable time explaining why. OK?

Lovely title. Not constructed to inflame anyone is it? There are many people that don’t understand why Gov Palin left her office...let me rephrase that: there are many people who haven’t bothered to read the facts or reasons why she left office.

That’s not what I’d call taking a shot.

At some point,, the RINO wing of the GOP needs to understand that they need to “rally behind” a candidate like Sarah that might not completely please them. The Important thing is to beat Obama,,,right?

(I know this because i am constantly told how I need to get over my TEA viewpoint and rally behind an establishment type) Im sure they will do the same after running the Repub party for 22 years. It’s our turn now,, TEA gets to drive.

Cheney is a Globalist and not a Conservative?

I don’t buy this one. Cheney knows as well as anyone why Sarah did it. It was going to cost the taxpayers dearly plus her. She did the right thing. I have never held this against her because i believe under the circumstances it was the right thing to do.

Why Palin left the governorship of Alaska midterm has been adequately explained probably several times. I thought that Cheney could connect the dots. Disappointing (but not surprising).

Sure glad that he is not running for President!

Exactly. The perfect is the enemy of the good, right? The RINOs need to compromise for once.

She needs it with people like Cheney around. Turns out he’s just another RINO.

This is the second time the article has been posted, claiming in the title that Dick Cheney took a shot at her.

Unfortunately, if you read the quote, he didn't. But what's new, the Jounolist is alive and well.

But I also see that the Comsymps are working to divide every prominent Republican, especially those who might run for President.
