Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker

The vice president, well-known for his verbal gaffes, confirms at a dinner the existence and location of a secret hidden bunker that Cheney is believed to have used after the 9/11 attacks.

First off, it wouldn't have changed a thing. Obama still wins.

I'm not talking only about the '08 election.

...don't you think it is unreasonable to expect all conservatives to turn out...

I said "the Right," not conservatives. Conservatives tend to think they are the only people who occupy the Right side of the political spectrum, but they're wrong. I use the word "spectrum" for a reason. Just as on the Left, where the spectrum runs from comparatively centrist people like Sam Nunn and Leon Panetta all the way to the far Left Communists and other totalitarian types, the spectrum on the Right runs from barely Republican types like Snow and Dukakis, to true centrists like McCain, to conservatives, to populists of the Father Coughlin/Pat Buchanan variety, all the way to the far Right John Birch/David Duke types.

There's even a spectrum within the conservative part of the Right, and they don't always agree with one another.

A sizeable minority of the Right tends to have suicidal tendencies, politically speaking.

I could just imagine the services talking to his high school teachers. Good Grief

[keats5]

Well, Joe, that’s YOUR hiding place.

Hope it works out for you.

[Palladin]

The man is unbelievable. Now that Joe’s hiding place has been revealed, it’s no longer of use. So the taxpayers will have to pay another umpteen million to build a new hidey-hole for The Mouth That Roared.

to true centrists like McCain,

Proving that "true centrists" can't get elected.

Whomever the Republican party nominates in 2012 had best have a plan to recover the estimated 7.5 million voters on the Right who sat on their hands or voted third party. They're not going to replace them out of the moderate middle.

[Wolfstar]

Proving that "true centrists" can't get elected.

Doesn't prove anything. Quite apart from where he is on the political spectrum, McCain had enormous baggage. Everything from his health and age issues, to his constant betrayal of the Republican Party, to his refusal to take on Obama in any serious way, to his inability to articulate any vision...or articulate anything, for that matter.

[okie01]

Underneath it all, McCain wasn't really a "true centrist", becaise what he really was was a rank opportunist. It was his opportunism that navigated him to what appeared to him to be the middle. As such he was, in reality, an "artificial centrist".

And I would suggest that there really aren't very many "true centrists", though there are a lot of "artificial centrists". As a group, politicians tend to be opportunists -- and they'll all head for where they believe the flak is the least. They won't necessarily act centrist, but they'll sure as hell talk "centrist".

How many of our Presidents since, say, 1960 have been "centrist" in thought, word and deed?

Obama isn't a centrist, that's for sure.

[MeekOneGOP]

Sheesh!

Poor Ole Slo-Joe!

Nice lipstick, tho! :)

[Allegra]

BTW how ya doing? Still enjoying the sandbox?

Well, HEY, Stranger! Good to see ya!

Yes, the sandbox is just now starting to get HOT (weather-wise).

And I've got that lil' ol' security clearance thang as well. :)

[chainsaw]

I don't believe a word 0f it.

The bunker is believed to be the secure, undisclosed location former Vice President Dick Cheney remained under protection in secret after the 9/11 attacks. (9/11/2001).

But the work was done one year later

In December 2002, neighbors complained of loud construction work being done at the Naval Observatory.

There may be a secret location, but it's not where the liar said it was at that time.

[chainsaw]

Don’t tell anyone, but there is a secret Bunker under the White House as well.

There is also a tunnel from the White house to the
Blair house.

[chainsaw]

There are ‘secret’ bunkers under the Kremlin.

The Pentagon has one 900 feet down.

[StarCMC]

He is SUCH a moron — I cannot even believe he is VP.

[Hildy]

Can you imagine if Dan Quayle had done this? He’d have been gone in 24 hours. I’m so tired of pointing out the double standard...Pelosi..Biden..looks like Dems can do anything without consequence...

[dead]

an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn't be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall."

What's also funny about this revelation is the fact that that dingbat Eleanor Clift doesn't even know Biden revealed something he shouldn't have.

So she thinks she's cleverly conveying Biden's supersnarky dig at Cheney (who is so obviously nutty), while in reality the supergenius combo of Biden and Clift are unwittingly bumbling out state secrets that expose the sitting and all future vice presidents to increased risk of terrorist attack.

So Eleanor, tell me more about how dumb Bush and Cheney are...

[Doogle]

...you can always tell when an idiot lib gets in trouble, the MSM reverts back to Bush and Cheney....it don't matter whatever it is or how stupid the response.
It comes out of the WH every morning and they all take up the chant

[LucyJo]

Somebody should have reminded Joe, the VP, that is his bunker now.

[LucyJo]

"The really 'secret' ones, you will never hear about."

Don't worry about me...I'd never tell. It's Joe, the VP, we should worried about...who knows what he's likely to say or do?

[Wolfstar]

Underneath it all, McCain wasn't really a "true centrist", because what he really was was a rank opportunist.

A rank opportunist? McCain? Absolutely. However, political views do not exist in isolation, like a dot on a white board. Political views, both within individuals and within groups of individuals, exist on a spectrum, very much akin to the spectrum of light.

Using the visible light analogy, the political views of a majority of people generally occupy the green portion of the spectrum, sometimes shading a little to the cyan-light blue (center left) side and sometimes to the yellow-light orange (center right), depending on the issue.

Most politicians occupy that territory for obvious reasons. That's where most votes are to be found. So in that sense, they are all opportunists. To put it another way, they are all realists where their electoral self-interest is concerned. Libertarians also reside here and, depending on the issue, flip back and forth between light blue and light orange.

Totalitarianism is found on both the very far left and very far right ends of the spectrum, and extremists occupy the regions just inside either end. All of the other political viewpoints except anarchism fall somewhere in the blue-purple (mainstream left to far left) and orange-red (mainstream right to far right) parts of the spectrum.

I think most conservatives and right-wing populists occupy the yellow-orange to red part of the spectrum, just before it shades into dark red. The problem we have is that too many of us see conservatism as a dot on a white board rather than a spectrum. As a result, too many of us reject anyone we see as stepping off the conservative dot onto the white board. Problem is, the world doesn't work that way. Neither to flesh-and-blood human beings.

Problem is, the party leadership seems to favor opportunists over conservatives.

Nonetheless, a majority of the voting public self-identifies as "conservative". Including virtually all of the party's base.

So far as the voting public is concerned, "us vs them" may not be a left vs right proposition, but a Washington vs All of Us issue.
