Arrgghh!!!
He is not a rino.
Is there anyone else better to endorse for that race?
Kay Bailey is part of the problem, not the answer to the problem!......red
I don’t believe it.
WTF Dick?
Very disappointing.
Perhaps he’ll invite her on a hunting trip.
Further evidence of a widening split between a true conservative like Cheney and a dufus like “Double-PeeYew” Bush. Double-PeeYew is a Rick Perry, tried and true, double secret bonafide supporter!
I admire Dick Cheney, but I strenuously disagree with his endorsement.
Very bad move Dick. Kay Bailey is a RINO through and through.
No need to make any illusions about Cheney. We may like his style and foreign policy, but Cheney IS liberal on social issues such as Gay marriage.
He is not “Mr Conservative”.
People have ALWAYS made the mistake of considering Cheney (or anyone else) a conservative just because he is “strong” on defense.
Cheney is NOT a conservative in the “limited government” sense of the word and Im not sure that he ever was. Ive actually warned people on here not to idolize the man just because of his stance on the military and national security.
Now, because he was put on a pedestal by certain folks we are going to have to knock him down and risk damaging the area he was having a positive effect (attacking the administration on their national security stances).
conservative.
So disappointed...
I love Cheney. He’d be a great, and has been a great, Secretary of Defense. Or Secretary of State.
I even think he’d be a great president.
He’s strong on defense, and thats what we need right now.
But despite what the press may say about him, he’s not really all that conservative, certainly not a social conservative.
So I’ll respectfully disagree with him on Hutchinson. He may be supporting her because he likes her on a personal level, which is understandable. Whatever. I like the guy a lot but that doesn’t mean I agree with every last word out of his mouth.
Yup, because everything he has ever done for us is now forgotten since he endorsed a “RINO.” Plus, he's for gay marriage, AND he held a fundraiser for a Pro-Iraq-War DEMOCRAT while still in office!.......I mean, the list is ENDLESS if you dig deep, cherry-pick, and have a relentless memory and keep a scorecard!
Heck, besides Reagan, what elected official in our lifetimes has done more to advance the Conservative cause than Newt Gingrich - and SUCCESSFULLY so? Yet if you read FR, he'd might as well be endorsing Mao for President of the U.S. by backing a person he knows and likes who won the Party nomination for the NY Congressional seat.
Everything Newt has ever done for the Conservative moment - which is quite a lot, second only to Reagan among elected officials - is all forgotten. Now it's time for him to “go away,” “go to hell,” blah, blah, blah...........did I mention he once tried to work with the opposition leader to achieve compromise legislation? I mean if he were a REAL Conservative, the moment Nancy Pelosi walked into the same room as him, he would have spit in her face and left the room - heck, the whole city - in protest!
So I guess it's time to say goodbye to Dick Cheney's good graces. Sorry, Mr. V.P., I like you - but the scorecard now reads more than three transgressions, which means you're officially a RINO - heck, maybe a full-blown Liberal - for your heinous crimes!
Newt, Cheney — let's see, what other successful Conservative leader can we excommunicate now?.......
