Considering all that the last few years of Bush-Cheney did to contribute in ushering in Obama in the first place, it’s quite a laugh for Cheney to make this contention.
Oh, and right before the convention, this is they way to bring things together, by taking a gratuitous swipe at Palin? I’m to the point where the whole damned GOP can go eat a bowl of ground-up glass. I’ve watched and looked forward to every Republican convention on tv since 1976, and voted exclusively for the ticket my whole life, always believing I had a pretty strong ideological kinship going on. But g-ddam these bastards always piling onto Palin, who was the only reason I was remotely excited about voting in 2008. They attack her, they attack me and everything I stand for. The damn GOP can just go burn in hell!! That includes you, Cheney.
Doesn’t matter who Romney picks, they will demonize the choice.
Palin, Quayle, Agnew, Nixon, and yes, you too, Mr. Cheney, were mocked and vilified as VPs
C,mon Cheney
It wasnt about her “background”
She scared the hell out of the liberal establishment and that includes RINOs)
Why? Downs baby on her hip perhaps? A living rebuke to modern amoral culture
He’s right! They should have put PALIN AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET!!!
I agree in part. Palin should have been running for POTUS rather than VP.
So, Romney would have been a better pick in 2008?
Mayb.
Romney going down with the sinking USS McCain would make it harder for him to be the ‘front runner’ this election cycle.
This is Cheney’s opinion. Period.
I agree with him on some issues, and on other issues, not so much.
Sarah almost won the election for McCain. He lost it in spite of her, not because of her.
Cheney has been wrong before (IMO) and he’s wrong about this.
If after a set of grueling primaries for Vice President, Sarah were to be left standing... and THEN, she had to choose her President running mate, she would be making a BIG mistake were she to choose Romney.
Cheney should probably bear in mind that it wasn’t Sarah Palin who told the 2008 voting public that Obama would make a good president.
The Mistake was the RNC picking the likes of Bob Dole and McInsane.
I think the problem here is that Palin is a social conservative, while Cheney himself is a libertarian who actively campaigns for gay marriage and has little if any interest in the social decay of the USA.
Bleech, Zer0 had less experience.
LLS
I agree only to the point of maybe picking Palin was a gamble and Romney has no room for gambling. ( it was a gamble that paid off as Sarah was the only thing that made me enthuistic about voting for McCain)
LOL, I’m still seeing Palin stickers on cars with McCain removed from the top of them. Lets face it, Palin is too down to earth and “Honest” to be a D.C. politician. I don’t see her as a match up with Romney, unless she was on top of the ticket, so let him cook in his own stew.
“I like Governor Palin. I’ve met her. I know her.”
“But she is not ‘of the body’. She is not of the Illuminati, nor of The Sacred Order of the Elites. She is not an Internationalist, and has not embraced the New World Order. Thus she does not have THE SECRET KNOWLEDGE of THAT WHICH MUST BE KNOWN BY THOSE WHO ASCEND THE THRONE OF DESTINY.”
Thanks, Dick Cheney, for outing yourself. Go line up with Karl Rove and other like-minded TYRANTS, on the “Right” or “Left”.
I used to be fooled by the likes of the Dick Cheney’s of the political world. Now I realize it’s not about right or left. It’s about tyranny or liberty. Dems and Pubs are the Good Cop/Bad Cop routine, both tyrants.
Sarah Palin represents LIBERTY, the opposite of you.
God Bless Sarah Palin!!!!
Let’s straighten this mess up, so we can understand it. The reason Sarah was a mistake as the VP pick is because she should have been the presidential candidate, and McCain should have retired due to incompetence and excessive sanctimoniousness. ...All of McCain’s little stooges who launched the attacks on Sarah should find jobs in women’s clothing goods, or someplace where queers are comfortable.
Yeah, I insult Republicans that I’ve met and know and like all the time. Doesn’t everybody?
Dear Dick: The Eleventh Commandment. It exists. Barely. Learn it. Love it. Live it.
