"Cheney plans to continue his public role as Obama's chief critic on these issues. He will formally appeal the CIA's decision to withhold the memos, and on May 21 he will pop out of his dungeon once again to give a speech that promises to offer his most comprehensive defense yet of Bush administration's war on terror policies."

I've got the popcorn ready! LOL

Cheney was my candidate for POTUS...it's unfortunate that his health and/or desire prevented him from running.

Semper Fi, Kelly

*******Others on the left, though, want Cheney to keep talking. “As long as he remains the public face of the Republican Party, it will remind voters of why they elected Obama,” wrote Darrell West, a vice president at the Brookings Institution. ************

I thought they elected Obama to destroy America. I admit he is doing s damned good job of that.

[EQAndyBuzz]

The Obama administration is forgetting something very important. Working for Bush wasn’t Cheney’s first Rodeo. If anyone is wired into the DOD and the intelligence services, it’s Cheney.

[cubreporter]

Cheney is now a private citizen of these United States. He has a right to speak out against policies he believes and knows to be wrong. He has a RIGHT. Maybe dowd doesn’t know what that word means. it means she has a RIGHT to put her dribble into a newspaper or mag as well. So, she had better get used to Cheney cause he is IN DA HOUSE!!!

[Rational Thought]

The former Vice President is filling a void in the spineless Republican Party, reflecting just how weak the current Republican leadership is.

I’ll bring the beer! I like Cheney, and I believe it is because of him that all this ruffling of the feathers is going on. Zero probably thought he’d get away with the national security issues by standing up there & speaking with that evil grinch-like smile of his. Smiling & telling us the country is safe...that is until Cheney came along & ruined his day!

[Always Right]

8 years of unanswered lies and attacks against Bush worked well for the Dems. A couple years of truthful attacks against Obama will work for the GOP. Negative campaigns work.

[kjo]

Dowd need to get married and have a couple of kids.

[Always Right]

If Cheney was so ineffective, then why is Obama flipping on numerous national security issues????? Obama knows his stupid plans are doomed for disastrous results, and the Cheney attacks on them will highlight who exactly is to blame if they do happen.

Virtually every liberal pundit on Rahm Emmanuel's e-mail list has now echoed this week's talking point: Dick Cheney is awful, terrible, bad Bad BAD for the Republicans! So bad, in fact that GOP'ers are themselves deeply ashamed and cringing at his every word!!! "My God, why won't he just go away?"

And yet, every Republican I've spoken to or heard comment (with the exception of the Washington RINOcracy) has been ecstatic that finally, someone in our deeply depressed party is willing to stand up for the very same principles and ideas that motivated the greatest President of our lifetimes: Ronald Wilson Reagan.

The truth is, Dick Cheney is Viagra for Republicans; a figure at whom our soft noodles in Washington seethe not with anger, but jealousy. He is also an adult presently in the company of children at a time when father figures are routinely belittled but have never been more desperately needed.

[missnry]

Cheney, she writes, is "batty," has "numskull ideas," and "still loves torture."

Yeah. Cheney loves to torture, especially Democrats!

[adorno]

All of this, we are told, is hurting Republicans.

If Maureen Dowd is worried about republicans, then I better start worrying too. She, of course, wants the best for republicans and we can't have an "evil" old man destroying the party.

We should have Maureen going around the country giving speeches to republicans and conservatives about how to save the party. After all, who would know better about conservatism than Dowd? She cares about us. She really, really cares.

[Screaming_Gerbil]

Glad to see Cheney in the face of the Democrats on the National Security issue.

[lt.america]

What Cheney did, and why the left really wants him to shut-up, is he put any national security lapses on the Obama admin.

The Obama admin knows that they have taken actions that put us on unsteady footing regarding preventing terrorist attacks, but they doubled down on the presumption we will be safe and that any attacks could be placed at the feet of the previous admin.

Cheney laying down the gauntlet takes that argument off the table, or at least makes it harder to sell. The admin knows that the training wheels are now off and they have to make this country safe.

[StandUpChuck]

Did someone mention Maureen Dowd?

[WilliamPatrick]

I hope Cheney continues to speak out. Although the liberal media will portray him as the old face of the defeated Republican Party, the public will think otherwise because his words and thoughts are commonsense. Where are the other voices of the Republican Party,hiding in the bushes? Only by speaking out can we hope to change the Obama policy of softness and empathy for our enemies that are intent on destroying us.Obama is a very naive man as are most liberals.Perhaps when the Islamists slam him in his face for his weakness maybe he will wake up.Dick Cheney please continue the fight as our nation is currently at risk.

[sirchtruth]

When indignants like this write these kind of juvenile, completely immature articles you know, they know Cheney is absolutely right. This prick, as well as Moreen Dowd are mortified about how Cheney calling for fairness and the truth will destroy them, the left, and their precious Obama.

The truth, fortunately will devastate liars at some point.

[Yardstick]

*Bump*

[PhiKapMom]

Cheney was my choice for President as well. I love it when you see that twinkle in his eye because you know he is on a roll and it is going to be good.

It is so great for him to be standing up and none of this kumbyya that we keep hearing how we need to change to become Dem-lite. Cheney has put an end to that nonsense.

[DakotaRed]

The rest of the GOP must grow a pair like Cheney has, if the party is to be salvaged.

Remember, “speaking truth to power” and “questioning authority” were very popular just a few months ago.

[Ann Archy]

He was mine also!! Cheney is a MAN! Obama is a Lightweight. Go DICK...and LIZ...and LYNNE!!
