The news of Cheneys interview airing on ABC tomorrow morning (Monday) on GMA is making its Sunday-rounds. The MSM couldnt 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 partys last VP nominee in lieu of going after the nations 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 Fords 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 dont think she passed that test of being ready to take over. And I think that was a mistake.
He might have a point.
Apparently, Palins 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, wasnt he?
Palins not ready to engage in cronyism which dictates who shed appoint to lifetime positions on the Supreme Court or to head federal emergency agencies like FEMA. Bush & Cheney were ready for that, werent 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 Partys good old boys and their dealings with big oil. She did that in Alaska, too. Palins 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 establishments plans to hold back.
Palins ready to endorse countless candidates for the Congress. Shes been successful at using her enormous grassroots influence to pull a great deal of them across the finish line.
Palins 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 partys grassroots, dont count on her to make deals behind closed doors or hold high-priced fundraisers at her home.
Considering everything Bush & Company were ready for, its 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.
As I said, He likely still would have earned an MBA and JD just not at Harvard. It’s not class envy. It’s the facts.
“Romneys dont do military service, at least not for America.”
Cheneys don’t either.
She is pictured as a cheering spectator, not a player.
Thank you. And people act like it’s a cult worship thing when we support Sarah. At least for me, it’s just that im in synch with her more than any other GOP type i know.
So i see the GOP and Romney go after her, in a personal way. I don’t see them attack her on issues. It’s always some cutting personal attack.
That lets me know how the GOP views me, and tells me that they must not need my vote. There have been a few times i’ve recently when thought jim rob was mistaken, and that we _should_ vote for the lesser of two evils. Then i read how Romney won’t let Sarah speak at the convention. I see homo loving Cheney attacks.
Then i realize, boss man is right. GOPe is the target for defeat here, not Obama.
Apparently when we express our opinion, you term it as "turning on a conservative". However, when Dick needlessly pooped on Sarah's front porch, you term it as "expressing an opinion".
You don't need to be respectful of these two-bit monkeys who are throwing stones at you. They have taken this country into a lot of troubled waters. If they were ship captains, they would have been out of work and thoroughly disgraced.
Please feel free to point out their records. You don't need to hold back for the sake of the party, as they don't feel the same way. You don't need to be respectful of them either.
Actually Governor Palin is the current biggest republican in America next to the party’s presidential nominee and the number one endorsement of either party in America, so I don’t know what in the heck you are smoking.
Exactly Right!
What Williams fails to remember is all that “Experience”
that he, Rove and Bush had...
Gave us Obama.
All that “Experience” placed the Bush administration
in one of the lowest approval ratings in American History.
About 27%.
That’s what “experience” got us.
“And yet, He was nominated and She chose not to run”
His people in McLames campaign worked to make a joke out of her before Obama was elected. The GOP is behind most of the attacks on her. Nicolle Wallace her handler, was behind the wardrobe story. Wallace attacked Backman too. She has a habit of attacking any females who oppose gay marriage.
Scteve Schmidt is another of the gay marriage pushers who attacked her ruthlessly.
The GOP went after her from 10 directions to make it clear they would pull out all the stops to destroy here.
They had their candidate.
I guess that Cheney doesn’t like Theodore Roosevelt very much. He was a Progressive Republican who served 2 years as governor.
I wonder how many conservative presidents and vice presidents would have embraced gay marriage.
No they don’t... they just get worse.

Perhaps your RINO repubs are secretly Obamabots, trying to lose the election./s
I was there at the Woodlands rally Friday. In 100-plus degree heat-index, drenched in sweat, standing for five hours. I got eleven friends to vote for Cruz in the run-off who normally wouldn’t have voted, due to Palin’s endorsement, last week during early voting. After Palin’s facebook page, I got a big group together to go to Chick-Fil-A yesterday afternoon.
So today, I get up and encounter yet another high-profile Republican dissing of Palin, via Cheney. Which the media will eat up, and he knows it. Right alongside other stories of CNN using the song “Stupid Girls” during a segment depicting Palin, and another story of that Palin “lookalike” porn actress attending a strip joint in Charlotte during the convention. Today REALLY wasn’t the best day for Cheney to come out with this. The homo-marriage supporting Cheney. Nope. Conducting that same GOP-establishment crap against Palin. Nope. Is the apparent goal to make me despise the very Party I’ve voted for all my life, just as much as the scumbag, anti-American Dem Party? If that’s the goal, wow, it’s really starting to work.

So Cheney thought she was a bad pick. She ain’t running for anything and he’s a great man who gave a lot for his country.
Agree with him, disagree, whatever, it’s not an earth shaking event.
They are gearing up for jeb bushclinton IV.
