” my my how times change...that woulda got ya banned her in 2003..”

People, even Freepers, simply refuse to look at the facts and records of people once they’ve ‘fallen’ for their beloved candidates. It’s ALL about emotion. They’ll do anything but admit they were mistaken in picking the jerk in the first place! My GAWD, they’re not having a personal relationship with these politicians but you’d never know it. The emotion has to go or we are sunk!

Dick Cheney’s son in law was buried deep in the Justice Dept, partly responsible for Ramos/Compean prosecution and all kinds of nefarious junk. Cheney’s domestic policy advisor Cesar Conda helped destroy prop 187 in Calif and is an amnesty pusher who went to work for Soros.

All these politicians want is power and they don’t care who they use to get it! Democrats use blacks, gays, etc. Repubicans use the Christian right, 2nd amendment folks, etc.

The point is WE ARE ALL BEING USED, but damn at least throw out some of the users once in a while! Or at least admit who they are!

AuntB, I don’t support everything Cheney does. When he says something I agree with, I voice approval. When he says something I don’t agree with, I voice disapproval.

Hardly any of these people are truly with us on most aspects of politics. For that reason I try to hit the positives and negatives in order help support and thwart good/bad policy.

I don’t disagree with your premise. We are being used.

I was once a enthusiastic fan of Cheney, But that is long over. As late as early 2010 Cheney neo-con fans conveniently forgot he was for same-sex marriage and open homosexuality in the military, until he clearly and specifically said so. That was just another 'please deceive me' crowd.

I saw this Cheney interview on the show this morning and thought of the teeth gnashing that would happen here over it, and laughed.

This morning the Cheney explained that Palin wasn't ready to be POTUS after only 2 years as governor. Well DUH, everyone knew that after she tried to ‘answer’ the question :”Why do you think you are ready to take over as POTUS as VP?”. Well not ‘everybody’. The brain dead cultists went into a tizzy claiming it was an ‘unfair question’ "Why do think you are ready..." is an unfair question ???!!!

And contrary to some Palinistas wet dreams Palin did not run for the POTUS nomination this cycle.

Jeeze. Too much pointless drama. This is the best we got?

I am with you on that AB 100%.

For decades Republicans had the advantage on national defense(since Reagan) and so they used flag-waving war/patriotism as a way to marginalize opponents but that completely backfired on them the past decade. They did it to themselves ala GWB gun to own head.

Obama is trusted more than Republicans on national defense by about 30 points or more. Obama?? Democrats?? Trusted?? This is total disaster that Republicans brought on. Romney rarely talks about national defense.
