These older people don’t understand how much the Iraq war hurt the GOP with voters. It the reason the GOP lost the House, the Senate and and the White House in 2006 and 2008.
Cheney is the poster boy for crony capitalism and the revolving door style of corruption. He’s also a proponent big government and an open borders fanatic.
Welcome to Free Republic. Yeah, us *older people* know how to deal with a threat to our nation, when we see one.

I'll take Cheney in my foxhole over most any other "R's" presently in office, with the exception of a very few.
You sound just like Nancy Pelosi or a DU lib, newb. Take it somewhere else.
I tend to agree w/ you re how Cheney is viewed by many voters...they believe Cheney was banging the drum for a war in Iraq. It doesn’t matter what ‘we’ believe or not...it does matter how the average voter viewed the war in Iraq.
I don’t think it helped that GWB did that stupid video...supposedly comedy... looking for WMD and never finding them. No...didn’t help one dang bit.
But I’m not voting for Rand Paul and I’m not voting for Bush III.

So in your confused mind, not only is everyone at the political site you just signed up for 'old', but because they are 'old', they can't know about the politics and history that this forum exists to discuss, study and affect.
We do know a little bit about politics here.
yep
Actually we probably lost it in 2006 due to Mark Foley. Prior to that we were actually steadying in the polls. No doubt, however, that the way things were going in Iraq was a huge negative and seats were going to be lost. “The surge” should have been done long before it was to stabilize Iraq.
We lost it in 2008 due to the financial collapse coming just before the elections.
Are you cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?
