Well, bless his heart. Dick Cheney joined daughter Liz Cheney yesterday at the GOP convention in Wyoming three weeks after his heart transplant
Cheney blasted Barack Obama as an unmitigated disaster for the country. FOX reported, via Weasel Zippers:
Dick Cheney, just weeks after undergoing heart transplant surgery, plunged back into the political theater Saturday — praising presumptive nominee Mitt Romney while slamming President Obama as an “unmitigated disaster.”
The tough words came during an hour-and-15-minute talk at the Wyoming Republican Party state convention in Cheyenne on Saturday.
He sat in a plush chair throughout the long chat with daughter Liz Cheney and looked decidedly healthier than recent appearances where he has been gaunt and used a cane.
After Rick Santorum dropped out of the race this past week, Cheney in his address urged the party to pull together behind Romney. He said the former Massachusetts governor would do a “whale of a job.”
His opinion of the sitting president was less flattering.
“He has been an unmitigated disaster to the country,” Cheney said of Obama.
Cheney’s heart transplant in Virginia on March 24 initially canceled his trip to the state party convention but he got last-minute medical clearance to go.
FU straight out for impugning Cheney’s motivations that he is afraid of a “tax audit”. I’m seething as in angry as Hell at anyone weaving idiotic fantasies about that bravest of men who defied death to oppose Obama with a new heart in his chest. Face it Cheney is right and you are an idiot to say he rose from his death bed to attack Obama out of fear of anything.
Are we now going to diss Cheney with nonsense when he rose as Lazarus and his first words were to speak truth to Obama and sense to conservatives?
Well guess what FReeps...like it or not we will at least have to vote for Romney in November. It shucks that the GOP gets their candidate again—lets just hope he doesn’t lose like McCain in ‘O8. If he loses the GOP is in for a rough ride within the ranks and maybe only a ‘Whig’ like solution is the answer.
I love that photo. A man saying “This is far from over.”
Does Cheney know that Romney put a dog on a car?

(Foosball, too.)
I agree with you. I never thought I see the day that Freepers would turn against Dick Cheney. He’s a wonderful human being and doing what he thinks is best for this country. Turns my stomach that people around here would criticize him for it.
“Does Cheney know that Romney put a dog on a car?”
I’ve heard rumors that he knows but STILL prefers him to Obama. F’n RINO/coward!
ROTFLMAO!
Man, we're going to get kicked out of this forum.
“Man, we’re going to get kicked out of this forum.”
That would be sad, but if preferring anyone to Obama (and agreeing with Cheney for saying so) is what does it, so be it.
That line you’re commenting was hardly the point of my post. My only point there was that prominent people in the party have different issues to deal with than the base. I wasn’t saying that was his motivation at all, just that that’s why I couldn’t “blame” him for saying what he’s saying. I went on in the rest of my post to explain why he’s saying what he’s saying, but you ignored it and focused on an out-of-context line.
I don’t give a crap what any powerful person or “leader” says. I am a conservative which means I have an independent mind and do my thinking for myself. I don’t engage in hero worship like the left. I’m not a sheep. Period. Every person I admire in politics has been wrong at one time or another...Reagan, Palin, Gingrich, Cheney, etc.
Cheney’s wrong this time and he is NOT speaking truth or sense by saying we should rally around Mitt Romney now. We should be doing everything we can to stop Romney from getting the remaining delegates he needs to become the nominee. ANYONE who cares about defeating Obama should want to prevent the sure general election loser Romney from becoming the nominee.

"I believe the right leader for this moment in history is Sen. John McCain," said Cheney, who grew up in Wyoming and represented the state in the U.S. House of Representatives. "John is a man who understands the danger facing America. He's a man who has looked into the face of evil and not flinched."
Did you not jump to the idiotic opinion that Dick Cheney was acting out of fear of an IRS audit, because he gave a speech attacking Barack Obama and supporting the eventual republican nominee? I don’t give a damn what your “main point” was, who would listen to a fool who disparaged Dick Cheney upon his return from heart transplant surgery?
Yeah, we need to worry about your opinion versus Dick Cheney. /s
FU
LOL! That's a hoot! You're screwing with everyone, right?
Damn, I can't tell anymore who's being sarcastic and who isn't. This place has gone off the rails!
If DC has asked me to vote for the presumptive nominee, I will do it.
What’s being broadcast here is that Mittens will be a puppet, with Cheney ruling the world, as he does well.
Mitt, you suckass stupid idiotic mashed-potato-skull, just got your stupid neuro-knot frogbrain weakwrist I-hope-your-magic-underwear-gets struck by lightning a most reluctant vote.
Unless we go to brokered convention.
I didn’t disparage him, you rude, ranting, raving, illiterate, small-minded, clueless moron. Cheney and his family, given their prominent position, are at greater personal risk under an Obama presidency than the rest of us and that is a completely legitimate factor for him to consider. It doesn’t make him a “coward,” that was your stupid opinion, you brainless bozo.
The elites on Wall Street and in Washington D.C. thank you for falling into line and refraining from the difficult and unnecessary act of thinking for yourself.
Mittens, you are the suckiest ever Alien pansy stupid idiotic freaky closet-gay lizard weirdo any American has ever had the misfortune to witness in our primaries, but if you really want it, guess what, you’re Cheney’s bitch.
I’m guessing you didn’t plan for that. So go ahead, win the POTUS, you slimy weasel-spined kleenex of a man. But know you will be the guy with no information, no connect, just a rapidly fading hairboy with no access to the football.
And we will mock you every day, all day.
Because Cheney is our CINC. You will be our escargot-tong tea-service Laptog In Chief. Have fun living your life in a total shadow.
Eunuch.

Repo Men (Wall St. bankers and D.C. ruling class, “more than a few of them belong in prison.”)
Romney’s ten biggest donor blocs include Goldman Sachs (his biggest — No. 1, as always), Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Bank of America, and JPMorgan Chase. Bain’s thrown a little goodwill money his way, too.
So, what does Wall Street want?
Here’s what Wall Street doesn’t want: It doesn’t want to hear from Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann or even Newt Gingrich, or suffer any sort of tea-party populism. It wants you rubes to shut up about Jesus and please pay your mortgages. It doesn’t want to hear from such traditional Republican constituencies as Christian conservatives, moral traditionalists, pro-lifers, or friends of the Second Amendment. It doesn’t even want to hear much from the Chamber of Commerce crowd, because those guys are used-car dealers and grocery-store owners and for the most part strictly from hick, so far as Wall Street is concerned. Wall Street wants an administration and a Congress — and a country — that believes what is good for Wall Street is good for America, whether that is true or isn’t. Wall Street doesn’t want free markets — it wants friends, favors, and fealty.
They’re hoping that conservatives can be buffaloed with a bit of cheap free-market rhetoric into not noticing that something is excruciatingly amiss here. They are the repo men, headpiece filled with subprime-mortgage derivatives, and they are looking to repossess the Republican party they abandoned in 2008 (see “Losing Gordon Gekko,” National Review, March 9, 2009). Free-market, limited-government conservatives should be none too eager to welcome them back, nor should we let our natural sympathy with the profit motive blind us to the fact that a great many of them do not belong in the conservative movement, and that more than a few of them belong in prison.
