I agree with 100% of what you stated. I agree we have no one to articulate our position, etc., etc.. However, there is no single person on the Right that brings out the hate from the left, and the MSM, like Cheney. The more he drags himself out in front of the cameras, the more our image in the MSM is kept alive, and agree or not, they have painted us into a corner. What can Cheney do to help conservatives? Nothing. He will not be POTUS candidate in 2012, nor should he be, and he serves no purpose other than to correct the MSM's berating of the WOT. His admin's domestic agenda was horrid!
As for the question about my suggestion as to whom (is that correct?) would replace him as a spokesperson--I have no idea. But, the fact remains we are in a mess that I believe his admin left us in, and dragging him out only serves to remind the Left of the past.
I promise, a star will rise, but it may take a while. In the mean time we need our congress-critters in front of the camera stating why we oppose the current admin, and move away from the past. Bush and Cheney dug a hole, so it is up to us to stop digging.
Well, your initial post was not flammable, and you answered in a reasonable tone.
I disagree with you that Bush and Cheney left us in this mess. I disagree with many of the policies of the Bush Administration, in particular Campaign Finance Reform, Immigration, their TARP legislation, but MOST of all, their continued attempts at “bipartisanship” and their failure to stick up for themselves and let liberals set
the agenda. Their error, and I hold them to it, is that they left the battlefield of the media to their enemies, who made the most of it.
Bush and Cheney did not leave us in this mess. This was a mess created by the ENTIRE Republican party and its leadership, up to and including the President, who is the ostensible head of the party when in power.
But most of all, this “mess” is the cumulative result of 75 years of liberalism, beginning with the “New Deal”.
There is nothing wrong with Dick Cheney or his message, and much that is right with both. To deny this man and his message because he offends liberals is the height of folly.
The Obama administration is cracking at the foundation. Cheney is helping this happen with his clear and concise pointing out of the flaws and weaknesses of this socialistic presidency
It is time to cut through the fawning worship of Obama and let the harsh sunlight of reality expose that the Emperor is buck naked. Cheney is doing this.
