Dick Cheney to Endorse Kevin McCarthy
politico.com ^ | October 07, 2015

McCarthy voted conservative only 61% of the time in the past year and 53% over his lifetime:

If you love him so much, Dick, why don’t you take him on a nice little hunting trip?

Thank you for your input, Cheney. Now go away. We disagree profoundly.

I’m a bit surprised VP Cheney, whom I greatly admire, does not see that more of the same ol’, same ol’ won’t cut it after 8 years of anarchy. McCarthy seems same ol’, same ol’ in spades.

Cheney’s still alive?! He’s got about as much credibility as Obama.

I just lost respect for Dick Cheney. I used to admire him considerably.

McCarthy would be a step back. He is more liberal than Boehner.

I do not let Cheney sway my opinion at all. At one time I thought he was a died in the wool conservative but changed my opinion as I grew less and less liking the Bushes with their adopted son Bill Clinton and their ties to Saudi oil Sheiks.
