Sorry. I couldn’t care less who Cheney supports. Don’t look now but he has just come out for gays in the military. That is not a conservative position, as far as I can tell.

Undertaking a social experiment like that in the middle of two wars because “society has moved on” is the height of irresponsibility, especially for someone who is a former Secretary of Defense and former Vice President. May I suggest a little humility on this score, that perhaps he should defer to actual veterans who have served in a barracks environment and not come out for such a change while two wars are going on, two wars that were not finished on his watch.

Cheney is old enough to know society is NOT moving on but down the toilet.

This is one area when I disagree with Cheney stridently.

Once again, Cheney didn’t express a preference regarding Palin pro or con. I have no problem with that whatsoever.
