People don’t like to be told when they have been foolish and made poor choices. have you ever tried to tell an alcoholic that he needs to get help? Did you get a positive reaction?

People are going to resent the GOP in the short run because the truth hurts.

If a sitting President feels it is necessary to debate an ex-VP with a 18% favorable polling is it any wonder 18% is now 41%. Captain Zero is beginning to wilt.

I know, you can almost hear them grinding their teeth as they write something positive about Cheney. I wonder which token moderate they’ll trot out telling us how wrong Cheney is and how embarrassing it is to the ‘party’?

Word. al-MSM’s panties are all bunched up. Had BO ignored Cheney, the story would essentially be over save for radio and blogs. He just bought the next terror attack, if any there be.

It sure is - it shows there is some adult supervision.

Also leads one to think - how does Cheney compare with Biden as VP???

“In the Guantanamo argument,Obama’s critics didn’t worry about legalities, court decisions or complexities. They invented an argument about letting terrorists move next door to Americans.”

Ah, the old NUANCE argument. Democrats are the toughtful ones. Except when they’re the common folk. But nevermind that for now.

Obama is ever so subtle. Cheney beat him with populist simplicity. Because Republicans are always simpler than Democrats. Adlai Stevenson was an egghead; Clinton was a Rhodes scholar; Gore and Kerry, well, they ran against Bush. Meanwhile, Ike was your uncle, Reagan was senile, Bush I was a C student, and Bush II was Bush II.

Analysis: Obama debating Cheney is a plus for GOP


Another example of Obama’s distaste for being criticized.
He really seems to have a need to be correct or to defend his decisions at all costs and to demonize those who disagree with his view.

The Republican Dems fear most is NOT Sarah Palin, but Dick Cheney. Has been the case for years.

The reason the public hated Bush-Cheney was because of the media’s relentless attacks on them: they painted them the color they wanted and Bush and Cheney did little to defend themselves. Now the public has started to understand what a fraud the media has been in its protrayal of Obama AND Bush -Cheney. That makes them willing to listen for themselves to hear what Cheney said and, lo and behold, Mr. Cheney turns out NOT to be the evil monster he was made out to be. No, he is actually reserved, measured, thoughtful, intelligent, competent and straightforward (all the things Obama is not).

All Cheney has done is reclaim the credibility he should have had all along. The public is slowly discovering that our emperor is wearing no clothes.

"Republicans oppose releasing these terrorists or importing them into our local communities," said Rep. John Boehner, the House Republican leader.

Obviously, but nobody has proposed either.

Really? And what exactly IS the proposal?

Cheney is a game changer.

Aren’t there any other patriots with access to the media and the stature to withstand Obama administration retaliation willing to challenge Obama?
