Dick Cheney should not run for President. I like him right where he is. He is free to say what he wants about the current TURD in the White House. He is providing an invaluable service to this nation by exposing Osbama as the empty suit he really is.

Why: so we can have 4 more years of Obama. I am sure News Week really wants Cheney as President.

Top Ten Cheney 2012 Slogans

10. “Yeah, I’m a compassionate conservative. I let you live, didn’t I?”

9. “The Secret Service’s new job? Protecting other world leaders from me.”

8. “I’ll crush all enemies foreign & domestic. Then I’ll figure out a goal for Week Two.”

7. “I shot a guy in the face and he apologized to me.”

6. “Democrats will need Universal Health Care after I’m through with them.”

5. “Want to see world leaders bowing? Oh, they’ll bow alright.”

4. “Do what I say or I’ll have my daughter kick your $*%.”

3. “On my World Apology Tour, I won’t be the one apologizing.”

2. “I never had a heart attack. I just stopped it a few times to show it who was boss.”

1. “Vote for me. Or not. Like I give a *!#& what you do.”

The problem is his heart. As much as I admire the man’s politics (so far as I know them, anyway), his health will kill any hopes for office for the people who consider such things important.

And maybe Joe Lieberman can run as an Independent, splitting the lib-tard vote, and handing the presidency to Cheney.

Cheney is the one person who can draw more fire than Sarah, and it would be fun, but it isn’t going to happen. His heart doesn’t need the aggravation.

President Obama's unapologetic multilateralism

How about Obama's "apologetic to the point of groveling at the feet of other nations" multilateralism.

I’m not so sure Obama would win. The biggest drawback to a Cheney run is his heart condition which would be flayed constantly in the press. Cheney would rip Obam to shreds in debate though. Anyone who has ever watched Cheney in action should either be awed (conservatives) or terrified (liberals).

Never happen if only for health reasons, but wouldn’t a real debate between Cheney and Soetoro the Kenyan be an awesome pay-per-view event.

IMO, the major reason for Cheney speaking so forcefully is the absolute reticence of George W. Bush to defend his policies.

This failure has left a vaccuum in this nation's political discourse.

Sadly, Dubya followed in his father's footsteps, by fading away without a fight.

People worry about Cheney's heart, but after in a debate, Cheney would rip Obama’s heart from his chest and eat it as an hors d’oeuvre.

No. We need Richard Bruce Cheney to be president right now. Can't Ozero be impeached or found to be ineligible or something?

No. Good Lord, no. And I’m one of his biggest fans. The heart trouble alone would be a legitimate reason to vote against him.
