Mike Pence looks at Dick Cheney as a role model for vice presidency
CBS News ^ | 9/19/2016 | Rebecca Shabad

Posted on 09/19/2016 10:31:46 AM PDT by simpson96

GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence said Sunday that his role model for the vice presidency is Dick Cheney​.

“I frankly hold Dick Cheney in really high regard in his role as vice president and as an American,” Pence said in an interview with ABC’s “This Week” that aired Sunday.

Asked if that’s the kind of vice president he aspires to be, Pence said he wants to be “very active” just like Cheney.

“Vice President Cheney had experience in Congress as I do and he was very active in working with members of the House and the Senate,” he said.

Host Martha Raddatz, however, pointed out that Cheney was often criticized for “being too much of a force over the president.”

“Well I think that what I admire most in vice presidents is when they’re able to take the vision of the president and champion that on Capitol Hill. And I would hope that my relationships over my 12 years in Congress and my four years here as governor of Indiana would help carry Donald Trump’s vision to make America great again. To people who would be crafting the legislation to put that into practice,” Pence said.

Cheney served under President George W. Bush, during which time Pence served in the House.

I will never understand why anyone who actually accomplishes things in their lives would call Trump a loose canon? From what I've seen, the NeverTrumpers are a bunch of losers like Pajamaboy.

The libs are aghast and the conservatives are politely nodding.

He duped the country into getting into war with Iraq which was the start of the current wave of lone wolf bombings.

Shhh...you're not supposed to connect the invasion of Iraq with the current bombings, or with the current wave of Muslim immigration into Europe for that matter. Nevertheless, the connections are there.

Unfortunately, many conservatives will not take the time to consider your argument. After all, W and Cheney are our guys, and it's only those other guys who do stupid things, stupid things that end terribly.

Then Pence is a very dangerous man-—and controlled by the NWO/globalists. It will be like the Reagan/Bush forced match, where Trump must watch his back ALWAYS.......The Reagans, both—even Nancy, were demonized 24/7. He was an Alpha male, a Nationalist, etc. and articulate (could control the Narrative which is a “No-No” for the psychopathic sodomites who have to flip 2000 years of Ethics for total slavery (socialism/communism) with irrationality in our children). Truth (God) has to be banned from the public schools and public square. Censorship of Ideas is almost complete in our children-—so they literally are incapable of thought.....just tribal mindsets/serf minds so they will make good slaves for corporations and the State. (totally controlled bots).

Hinckley’s family was very close to the Bushes.....Google it sometime. Funny how daddy Prescott Bush was a money-launderer for Nazis and brought them into America, and made his millions in nefarious ways, and Daddy Bush was in CIA -—that organization which funded magazines, books like Kinsey’s pedophile book, and people like Gloria Steinam, man-hater, and Harry Hay, the pederast, to destroy the Natural Family (virtue), and the CIA was running the Man-Boy sex ring into the White House while Reagan was there-—(Franklin Cover-Up).......everything goes back to the CIA doesn’t it?-—and the Bushes-—that infiltration of atheism into America to elevate baby-killing and sodomy “for the children”-—to flip 2000 years of Ethics-—to the socialism of now.......where Free Will and Individual Natural Rights from God can NEVER exist. It is ONLY possible with a Christian Worldview. Think about it sometime.

....that is why Christianity is being destroyed-—the whole Worldview has been under attack by the Marxists/Darwinists for 200 years so they could establish their pagan hellhole of slavery/sodomy/baby sacrifice (Ba’al Rites) again. The He/She goat-god worshippers want control over your children like they did in pagan, hedonistic days-—they are Lucifereans, like Kissinger and the Bushes and possible Cheney????

Their little secret: Everyone has Faith-—in something. You can’t separate “faith” from the human being. The State has banned only Christianity as they promote Satanism, Atheism, Humanism, Darwinism and all sorts of Faiths and Religions which is unconstitutional-—but Cheney knows that, doesn’t he? Only Truth (God) is allowed to be promoted in schools-—not irrational, evil ideology ever—like the promotion of socialism/slavery and Marxism (slavery) and sodomy (vice as is baby-killing-—and BOTH are promoted in a “Just Law” (LOL)-—impossible...but Right Reason was removed from our Justice System to make it a Vice System....Cheney knew that and was ok with the promotion of sodomy (vice) into the military when the great thinker, Machiavelli stated promoting vice in the military is the easiest way to destroy it. (Isn’t Cheney well-read?????).

He was more than that. He duped the country into getting into war with Iraq which was the start of the current wave of lone wolf bombings.


Correct.

We got blindsided.

Now we know why G W Bush never defended himself and kept taking the hits and turning the other cheek.

When G H W Bush started bringing up “New World Order”, it was pretty obvious what was going on.

You’re right.

Now it makes sense why W Bush never defended himself.

True. It is hard to understand insanity.

You now live in an Orwellian World now where Up is Down and Boys are Girls and Vice is Virtue and Slavery is Freedom and ONLY Truth (God/Christianity) is banned from the public square/public schools (minds of children).

YOU are sane-—but the psychopathic sodomites control MSM, most “information”, so they make YOU “think” you are the crazy one-—or insane. That is the goal-—to drug all the sane people—or kill them or lock them away. The Jackboots are the evil, insane ones who will run the asylum.

It is the old Stalin/Mao trick....if you don’t tow the party line (group-”think”)—YOU are IRRATIOANAL and MENTALLY ILL and have to be drugged, put in the gulag, or killed. In other words, if you are an individual who is self-directed or believe in God and not Rule of Man-—you will be banned or destroyed.

The Leftists are removing Reason and Logic from the public discourse and only use logical fallacies. They can NOT think logically-—the useful idiots can’t since they have been brainwashed for literally all of their lives if they go to public skools or watch Hollywood’s version of “Truth”...LOL.

A fine business/corporate mind at work. Just picked his COO. If he were a king, Pence would be his chancellor.

Cheney was right.

The Left uses fear of deficits to block tax cuts. The problem was NEVER deficits, it was over taxing and over spending.

As soon as the focus is put on deficits as being the problem, the Left has won the chess match, because then all tax cuts must first be “paid for” - a rediculous concept if ever there was one.

Reagan knew this when he said take away their wallet.

Cheney was a a good conservative - and all the Cheney bashing on this thread makes me sad. It sounds like all the liberal lies about Cheney are now being repeated on this FR thread.

It would have been nice if Cheney had actually tried to cut spending, but I don't see where he did.

People who like Cheney like him because he was a fighter. But they don't ask if what he was fighting for was what they're fighting for.

Greater power for the executive branch and more extensive interventions in foreign countries aren't necessary popular causes.

His fans also don't ask about the things the he really didn't put up a fight for because he was so busy with his own agenda.

Obviously, you don’t like Cheney - I do. Whatever.

By the way, he came out early in support of Trump.
