YUCK!!!

[Ann Archy]

Good FREAKING Grief!!! I am SO DISAPPOINTED!!! Maybe they mean MARY the Lesbian Cheney! WHY THE HELL would DICK CHENEY DO THIS?

[crescen7]

Thanks for confirming.

This is a surprise.

But I’m not sure it’s relevant. Endorsements like this, especially when done this early, have very little effect on voters. We’ll see if Cheney really actively campaigns for KBH.

If Cheney would’ve held his endorsement til the week-end before the vote (like Crist) or went on national TV to announce it in the closing weeks of the campaign (like Powell) it might mean something more.

So . . . If Liz Cheney endorses Perry does that make it even?

[Recovering_Democrat]

Wow, that is big news.

I always thought Perry was more conservative than Hutchison.

I’d listen to Cheney.

[Hattie]

Conservatives in TX are not going to vote for Kay Bailout period. No matter who says or does what. Cheney is a great statesman but served in areas of the government that were best for him. He is liberal socially. I wish all these people would vote for whomever they choose and allow the rest of us to do our own choosing too.

[BornToBeAmerican]

Cheney, I will allow you one screw up. You just made it.

[saganite]

Groan! What the hell is wrong with him?

[deport]

Yuck, it maybe but don’t discount Cheney’s Texas connections. This is a fundraiser in Houston on Nov. 17. Don’t forget his position as CEO with Halliburton and that alone will bring cash into the event. Then there are others such as Kellogg Brown Root. Cheney has ties to the Texas oil/gas construction industry probably better than most.

[SE Mom]

Whoa...what a disappointment.

[devane617]

Hey, Cheney, You F&^%^ING MORON!!! STAY THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS AND OUR POLITICS!!!!

[DTogo]

Shades of Bush endorsing Specter.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Ping

Freepmail me or ping me from the original thread to get on/off the 2010 Texas Governor's Race ping list.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Why is KBH doing this to the Texas Republican Party? This is going to be a mud-slinging mess.

[alicewonders]

I feel like I’m in one of those movies where everyone around me that I love & trust is trying to kill me behind my back.

The last few years have been hard, people that I really looked up to & respected have disappointed me so badly. Say it ain’t so Dick?

[Dysart]

Perry strikes me a pandering, self-aggrandizing tool-- the consummate politician. I sincerely doubt he has any substantive convictions beyond advancing along his own political career path and enhancing his overall marketability. Can a stint on "Dancing With The Stars" be too distant? Jessica Simpson isn't busy I hear. Or maybe some new reality show set in the Gov Mansion. This is how I imagine Governor Good Hair if his dearest dreams ever come true.

KBH: A very decent lady who has been around a long time but not the most adept, to be kind...definitely not a strong personality or leader. I don't think either candidate boasts more Conservative cred than the other here.

We need a fresh Conservative face in Texas to set a proper example for the rest of the country and lead us out of the socialist abyss. And no one in sight.

-—”Well, I guess we can all start trashing that RINO Cheney now.”-—
Yup, because everything he has ever done for us is now forgotten since he endorsed a “RINO.” Plus, he’s for gay marriage, AND he held a fundraiser for a Pro-Iraq-War DEMOCRAT while still in office!.......I mean, the list is ENDLESS if you dig deep, cherry-pick, and have a relentless memory and keep a scorecard!

Heck, besides Reagan, what elected official in our lifetimes has done more to advance the Conservative cause than Newt Gingrich - and SUCCESSFULLY so? Yet if you read FR, he’d might as well be endorsing Mao for President of the U.S. by backing a person he knows and likes who won the Party nomination for the NY Congressional seat.

Everything Newt has ever done for the Conservative moment - which is quite a lot, second only to Reagan among elected officials - is all forgotten. Now it’s time for him to “go away,” “go to hell,” blah, blah, blah...........did I mention he once tried to work with the opposition leader to achieve compromise legislation? I mean if he were a REAL Conservative, the moment Nancy Pelosi walked into the same room as him, he would have spit in her face and left the room - heck, the whole city - in protest!

So I guess it’s time to say goodbye to Dick Cheney’s good graces. Sorry, Mr. V.P., I like you - but the scorecard now reads more than three transgressions, which means you’re officially a RINO - heck, maybe a full-blown Liberal - for your heinous crimes!

Newt, Cheney — let’s see, what other successful Conservative leader can we excommunicate now?.......

[bgill]

Are you freakin’ kidding?!? Ok, so maybe Cheney is the as bad as the RATS say.
