I agree completely....but I really really really question why Mr. Cheney is indeed the "lone voice".
Where are all the other republicans? In particular one GWB?
Where are the new republican leaders? Hiding underneath their desks in fear? Where are their voices?
Why are they not lending their voices in an ever increasing crecendo of incredulity of current administration "policies" and in defense of the American people and making direct attacks against these woe begotten SOBs in the current administration.
Why is Cheney the only one??
Because besides Bush--Cheney is the only one who has nothing to lose, right?
My biggest criticism of Bush was always that he let them beat him. He just rolled over, got old and tired and had no fight left in him. The more he did it, the more he lost everyone. He wasn't a fighter. Maybe it comes with the territory when you are among the elite, silver spooner crowd.
The worthy non-RINO pubbies will stand up and be counted now. If no one follows Cheney's lead then we're screwed.
(PS: At the risk of being flamed - please don't - I kinda prefer W staying silent. It's more dignified for the party and Cheney was always better at making a conservative argument than W was, anyway.)
