The news of Cheney’s interview airing on ABC tomorrow morning (Monday) on GMA is making its Sunday-rounds. The MSM couldn’t be happier.
While the entire interview has yet to be released, it appears Mr. Cheney has decided to do his part for his establishment-buddies by attacking his own party’s last VP nominee in lieu of going after the nation’s biggest elected mistake of all time – Barack Obama. In response, good conservatives all across the web are responding.
Mark Levin stated this morning: (emphasis)
“John McCain ran a terrible campaign; the Bush-Cheney administration had become very unpopular with the American people, including many Republicans; and the Bush-Cheney administration was every bit as activist when it came to expanding domestic spending and government activism as the Nixon administration. The continuing attacks on leaders of grassroots conservatives by the Republican establishment, especially former Bush administration officials, need to end now. They got their nominee and they need to focus on Obama. “
Tony Lee over at Breitbart said:
“Cheney, who led the vice presidential search that picked Nelson Rockefeller for Gerald Ford’s VP, is probably more comfortable with a vice presidential candidate who has similar establishment bona fides to Rockefeller, which Palin obviously lacks.”
Cheney said about Palin:
"I don’t think she passed that test … of being ready to take over. And I think that was a mistake.”
He might have a point.
Apparently, Palin’s not “ready” to sit in an administration for eight years which added 5 trillion dollars to our unpaid debt basically demoralizing the spirit of conservatism leading to four years of Barack Obama. Cheney was “ready” for that, wasn’t he?
Palin’s not “ready” to engage in cronyism which dictates who she’d appoint to lifetime positions on the Supreme Court or to head federal emergency agencies like FEMA. Bush & Cheney were “ready” for that, weren’t they?
Palin is “ready” to balance a budget – since she did it in Alaska.
Palin is “ready” to increase benefits for our esteemed elders while cutting out wasteful spending existing all across our federal government – since she did similar things in Alaska.
Palin is “ready” to call out entrenched special interests like she did when she served up a little justice to the Republican Party’s good old boys and their dealings with big oil. She did that in Alaska, too. Palin’s “ready” to unabashedly call out Barack Obama. This includes pointing out his past associations, his reckless squandering of billions of our dollars to pay back his Wall Street friends (just as Bush/Cheney once did), and his plans to whip Americans into Greece-like big-government submission. This is in contrast to the establishment’s plans to hold back.
Palin’s “ready” to endorse countless candidates for the Congress. She’s been successful at using her enormous grassroots influence to pull a great deal of them across the finish line.
Palin’s not ready to fall in line with the establishment. Until any candidate (including our perceived “front-runner”) demonstrates a full willingness to truly unify with the party’s grassroots, don’t count on her to make deals behind closed doors or hold high-priced fundraisers at her home.
Considering everything Bush & Company were “ready” for, it’s no wonder why Barack Obama was ever put in the position of becoming President of our great Republic. Now of course, he must be fired.
But after observing the behavior of Cheney, Sununu, and other Romney surrogates, it might serve the interest of the American people to ask whether or not Romney is truly “ready” to do that considering the company he chooses to keep.
Romney got an MBA plus a JD from Harvard and he was not AA

Your boy Willie the trust fund baby had Daddy’s money and stocks etc
If its a JD from Harvard you want Obama is a classmate of Willies...
Enjoy...
I’ll gladly take Cheney over any president or pres. candidate since Reagan.
Don’t worry, I believe that you would.
During the debates in 2008 Congre4ssman DEuncan hunter called that “Romney/Rockefeller wing of the GOP” the Kenneddy Wing of the Republican Party...
It included McCain also as well as Willard...
Duncan had been in Washington for 20 years and he knew what he was talking about...
Ted Kennedy and Willard agreed on most issues...

When I read the headline what first came to mind was all of those seniors cheering on “The One” for hope and change during the Presidential campaign.
You should be remembering younger voters, because the seniors voted republican.

Yes, this was a deliberate statement today to advance this Romney/Rockefeller war against Palin and the conservatives.
Some in the media are already saying that Romney is the most conservative Presidential candidate since Barry Goldwater. They have to put the conservative label on him before they can justify all the attacks they will make.
Romney doesn’t have a clue what is in store for him.
Romney will run from the conservative label in this election and try to avoid real conservatives at all costs. He was always a RINO and will proudly pander to democrats along with his RINO running mate whichever one he chooses.
...W. Bush spent the nations money crazy like a drunken sailor.
************************
As an often drunken sailor in the early 1960s, getting paid $80 every two weeks (that’s $2080 a year!), I take offense.
People seem to forget that we were at war during 43’s term and the the last two years of his service were ruled by the Democrats who controlled both houses with veto-proof majorities.
Likewise, people tend to credit Clinton (in error) with building up the economy when, in fact, it was the Republican-controlled House and Senate that ruled in his last six years.
At that point, without anyone explaining anything, except the media, who spoon fed the public that Obama was a god who would save us, I am amazed that that McCain and Palin did as well as they did. Without the precisely timed economic collapse, it was clear that they would have won, because of Sarah Palin being chosen as the Vice Presidential candidate.
Successful law firm.
A single House term (chickened out of reelection due to having opposed a popular war).
A failed senate bid, some years later.
Became President, won an epic war, freed the slaves, and converted the United States
into a singular noun.
How do you predict that, using resume analysis?
My point to a T.
These comfortable elites are in a nice predicament - trying to lose but destined to win, anyway. Yes, the events of 2013-2016 are likely to result in a Great Establishment Cleansing, but they can't avoid that now by hoping to be overlooked.
Back at you lumpy.
