"...she'd only been governor for, what, two years. I don't think she passed that test…of being ready to take over."

Bleech, Zer0 had less experience.

Look Dick... I like you and you were a good VP... but you are wrong on sodomy and homosexuals marrying and you are wrong about Sarah. Now STFU and invite roberts bird hunting.

I agree only to the point of maybe picking Palin was a gamble and Romney has no room for gambling. ( it was a gamble that paid off as Sarah was the only thing that made me enthuistic about voting for McCain)

LOL, I’m still seeing Palin stickers on cars with McCain removed from the top of them. Lets face it, Palin is too down to earth and “Honest” to be a D.C. politician. I don’t see her as a match up with Romney, unless she was on top of the ticket, so let him cook in his own stew.

“I like Governor Palin. I’ve met her. I know her.”

“But she is not ‘of the body’. She is not of the Illuminati, nor of The Sacred Order of the Elites. She is not an Internationalist, and has not embraced the New World Order. Thus she does not have THE SECRET KNOWLEDGE of THAT WHICH MUST BE KNOWN BY THOSE WHO ASCEND THE THRONE OF DESTINY.”

Thanks, Dick Cheney, for outing yourself. Go line up with Karl Rove and other like-minded TYRANTS, on the “Right” or “Left”.

I used to be fooled by the likes of the Dick Cheney’s of the political world. Now I realize it’s not about right or left. It’s about tyranny or liberty. Dems and Pubs are the Good Cop/Bad Cop routine, both tyrants.

Sarah Palin represents LIBERTY, the opposite of you.

God Bless Sarah Palin!!!!

What’s your point Dick? Pick Jeb Bush?

That's my take. Or DreamAct, Muslim-loving Rubio with his many years in the Senate. Chickenhawk Cheney should be remembered only for hanging Scooter Libby out to dry.

Biden's no executive either.

That being said, Cheney did a generally great job helping Bush run the gov't. Much better than most VPs.

I’m not one of Sarah Palin’s biggest fans but she’s the only reason I was able to choke back my bile and vote for McCain.

Let’s straighten this mess up, so we can understand it. The reason Sarah was a mistake as the VP pick is because she should have been the presidential candidate, and McCain should have retired due to incompetence and excessive sanctimoniousness. ...All of McCain’s little stooges who launched the attacks on Sarah should find jobs in women’s clothing goods, or someplace where queers are comfortable.

Oh you ain't seen nothin' yet, the newly arrived Cheney-haters haven't even had the afterbirth of their arrival rinsed off of them, and they're slinging every insult known to man at our previous Vice President who was formerly held in the highest esteem until he had the temerity to utter less than the purest praise and adoration for Sarah Palin.

Ye gawds, he expressed doubt about her being selected as McStain's running mate.

CRUCIFY HIM! GIVE US BARABBAS BIDEN!!!!

Usually I would have to pay a cover charge for this kind of entertainment, lol

Yeah, I insult Republicans that I’ve met and know and like all the time. Doesn’t everybody?

One things for sure—Cheney dissing Palin has already made him the darling of the MSM.

But your point about needing someone who can confront the humongous fed is on target and that is where a “businessman” is needed and I hope Mitt can be a capitalist in chief instead of a RINO retread from Taxechussets.

After winning and during his first official briefing as president, I hope Mitt Romney will jump up and holler to Holy Heaven in appalled astonishment:

“MY GOD!!! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON HERE ALL THIS TIME!?!? FIRE TWENTY PERCENT OF THE ADMINISTRATION RIGHT NOW AND BRING ME EVERY DEPARTMENT CHIEF—OH, AND TELL THEM TO BRING A BASKET TO TAKE THEIR HEADS BACK HOME WITH!!!”

If he means that picking McCain to be the nominee was the cataclysmic mistake who happened to pick Palin, I can buy that mistake. I believe the Republican nomination was stolen in Virginia (or was it W. Virginia) when the Huckster and the madman McCain pulled a fast one with the delegates. There was no honest way he could have won the nomination otherwise. Some also say Romney got there the same way.

Hit a raw nerve did I? Now man up and either admit that you HATE Dick Cheney, or explain the hateful comments you have made about him in this thread and how you do NOT hate him?

Maybe you just have trouble dealing with simple HTML code that makes characters flash at you? LOL
