I intend to show, during cross-examination, that your psychiatrists planted the idea of child abuse in your head.

It is sad that you consider the topic of child abuse to be nothing more than a rhetorical device to be applied in your attempts to engage in debate and discussion.

I'm sure all the actual victims of child abuse appreciate your sensitivity.

Your tears nourish me.

Regardless of whether it was a mistake or not, i wish Palin hadn’t been picked by McCain. Can you imagine how strong she would have been this go around without the media hounding her and trying to sabotage her every day for the past 4 years? Plus the left wouldn’t have been able to attack her for not having enough experience and she would have had more time to prepare for the “gotcha” type questions from the conservative-hating media.

I still like Cheney, but McCain blundered during the financial crisis and the media venomously attacked Palin while desperately shielding Obama from legitimate inquires, many of which would have sunk a non-media protected candidate. In the end, McCain stumbled badly on his own and the media heavily tilted the playing field to favor Obama. That’s the story from four years ago. Picking Palin was the boldest move that McCain made and would have been universally cheered as a brilliant pick if the out-of-control power hungry leftist media hadn’t been so determined to paint an incredibly unfair and unfavorable caricature of her.

Who is this 'us' you speak of? You got a mouse in your pocket?

Oh, that wouldn't surprise me. Hope it's a wireless.

If we just cave to Mushy Middle and Compromise all our principles and become like Democrats, then they will vote for us.

Its almost like the Middle ARE democrats who don't like being labeled as such.

SCREW THEM

Sarah gave McCain a fighting chance to win the election and he squandered it. Just like a good RINO would, and just like Willard will do this time.

Wake Up People! We have had 2 Democrat Nominee for president this last 2 cycles, and judging from Dick's Comments here today it sounds like we have had Dem-lite nominees since 1988!

The GOP is dying a slow and very painful death, time will tell if a new Opposition Party can take its place in time.

In that case you better stock up on Ensure because otherwise your ass is gonna starve.

More of the exclusive interview with Cheney, which was conducted in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, will air Monday on Good Morning America, World News with Diane Sawyer and Nightline.

Yep, World News with Diane Sawyer - now there's a group that wishes Republicans well...Cheney needs to pick his interviews - sometimes you're known by the company that cheers you on...

When the gop lose the presidential election... lose House and Senate seats... and if gop elites keep attacking us on the right they will... then they will have to reevaluate their little plan to kill off the TEA Party. The TEA Party is an idea... a movement... not a political party... and ideas cannot be killed. They can only be attacked as cheney has done here. Our ideas compared to their ideas... NO comparison. cheney is not who he presented to us... and his past and present prove it.

Blinking code and animated logos will be extra.

[old school]

C’mon, you gotta admit that was good!

[1rudeboy]

You sad? I thought you were sad. I thought that I made you sad. Sarah makes you sad.

Is his support of homosexual marriage above criticism too?

[McGruff]

Sorry Dick but you’re all wrong. Too much time with the Bushes has corrupted you. Yes.

[LibLieSlayer]

You are NOT alone.

You are correct. Even this site now bows to Romney.
Half the posts that rightfully criticize Romney the
liberal CHOSEN loser by the DNC are removed.

It is probably hopeless.

Conservative principles are gone in
America. American excellence in medicine is DEAD.
RomneyCARE will not be stopped but will be the standard
as is RomneyMARRIAGE that he imposed over the Mass.
Constitution.

I respect Cheney, and don’t find it shocking that he thinks picking Palin was a mistake. Makes sense given the political world he inhabits.

Like others here, though, I refuse to let anyone tell me—in light of Obama—that Sarah would make an inferior President. She holds the beliefs of the Founders, and America has been rushing to their Judgement away from those sound men for a long time now. THAT is why they slander her.

And why we like her. Who cares if a mob of American apostates think the lady is electable?

Your post 145 was removed because you used a graphic from a hard-left site. Has nothing to do with defending Romney. We just don’t like giving left-wing loons any hits.

What can you say about a man who lost his heart...... Sarah Palin was the only damn reason I voted in 2008. I never liked McCain even while many played up his military service.
