Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) took a shot at Dick Cheney last night, saying the former Vice President wasn't in any position to be criticizing President Obama.
"Well, I think he had his eight years and he's caused a lot of trouble for our country and he perpetuated a war in Iraq that was unnecessary and wrong-headed," Paul said of Cheney on CNN's Larry King Live. "So I would say that it would be best he not be so critical right now."

please, a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the electorate vs the theft of tens of billions in the name of “saving wall street”?
Kooks vs Thieves, one has their own ideas, the other steals from generations of Americans.
It is a matter of consistency, and possibly what is wrong with the Republican Party.
When those same conmen can purchase custom made legislation, the so called “Bankrputcy Reform Act” while Republicans handed the legislating pen over to private interests, it is pretty clear that whom pays the bills, writes the laws.
Cheney tells Ron Paul “Let’s go bird hunting.”
Thanks Free ThinkerNY.
So you’re claiming that “a group that advocates the wholesale genocide of entire races” are just “kooks” who have “their own ideas”...
Okaaaay.
Exactly when did you decide to abandon common sense and common decency in favor of moral relativism?
How funny, one claims moral relativism, yet the very essence of the complaint about Campaign Finance Reform was “free speech” yet that apparently is “free speech...for those that I agree with”.
Can’t have it both ways astyanax.
You’re either missing the point or ignoring it.
It has nothing to do with campaign finance reform or free speech.
“Both ways”?!
Pretty black and white, I’d say.
Do you honestly believe it is appropriate for a campaign to accept money from neo-nazi groups?
Yes or no?
Paul is an idealist like I’m Vince Lombardi. He’s been playing the Washington insider game since most people on this board were spring chickens, and as for leadership we’re talking about aguy who (if we believe him) couldn’t even run a newsletter.
If you take Newt Gingrich, remove the futurist/technocrat module and replace it with a blame America first module, you get Ron Paul, another silly DC insider who is forever running to the front of the movement to declare himself its leader. No sale.
Ron Paul, a legend in his own mind.
