Cheney: Palin pick in ’08 “a mistake”
Hot Air ^ | JULY 29, 2012 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 07/29/2012 9:49:25 AM PDT by RobinMasters

As we wait for Mitt Romney to pick his running mate in the next few weeks, the last successful GOP running mate has been privately advising the current GOP nominee and the head of his VP search committee, Beth Myers. Cheney believes that the #2 slot has to be filled with someone ready to take over the top job on Day 1 — and that John McCain flunked that test in 2008. In an interview with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, Cheney called the selection of Sarah Palin “a mistake”:

He is right..Palin should have NEVER accepted.

She went right down the hole with that asshat old bastard, and should have never agreed to it. He used her and it cost her. Problem is, he created a monster and they dont know how to deal with it. That was the only good thing that came out of it.

How sad. A faded, falling star trying to bring a bright, rising star down with it.

Cheney also almost singlehandedly set us in the course we are on now with homos in the military. He decided that aan all male fighting force was bad. Women didn’t fly fighter jets when he came in. But they did under him. And his handling of tailhook gutted the finest Naval Air arm the world has ever seen.
He destroyed numerous careers. Some of the best we’ve ever had.
There is nothing to admire in Cheney. He’s a coward who amazingly gets “man” credits for being willing to send others for doing what he wouldn’t.

PS, and his wife writes porn, and his mother was a softball champion. (just saying)

“A Mistake?”

Only in the sense that it was a mistake for Sarah to get tied up in such a directionless, loser campaign.
And that it gave the Lamestream Media the motivation and opportunity to rip her to shreds in their mindless lust for Obama.

Cheney is a compassionate conservative who has allowed his love for his daughter to confuse his foundation of Biblical values.

Mr. Cheney, Sarah Palin is not at risk of becoming a Pillar of Salt (which is why we Love her). Change your position on Gay Marriage and extricate your heart from the practices of this vile world (and stop hating on Sarah for walking the walk).

While we’re on the subject of who should and who shouldn’t be in the White House, could you run by me again anything you’ve done for conservatism, Mr. Cheney?

Hypocrites! Then these same stale, corny GOPE should quit pushing....Roooooobio! and Christy Creme and others who have far less or just as much experience than Sarah had when she was choosen in 2008 but it’s not about Sarah and her supposedly lack of experience that they are critical about. -—— it’s who she represents, that being us and her not kowtowing to represent them -— the establishment

Last I heard she was planning some kind of event not far from the convention—be a hoot if her rally outshines the GOP Establishment shindig...

...I guarantee that if they don't invite her to speak at the convention now they will be forced to crawl on their knees for her support later.

Agreed. McCain was the mistake on the 2008 ticket. Worst candidate in my lifetime.

And when you’re finished with that Mr. Cheney, name something about being president—a task, duty or challenge of any kind—that is beyond Palin’s abilities.

Mr. Cheney, if Palin was a mistake, what do you call Joe Biden?

Another reason why Nov. 6th will be my last GOP vote.

On November 7th we lay the groundwork for 2014 and 2016 with a new conservative party.

The GOP is a shadow of its former self, and part of the overall problem in DC.

Palin was good for at least 10 million votes.

Quite frankly, McCain was the “mistake” in 2008.

And Palin would have helped win it for the GOP if she was not muzzled and if Johnnie Boy didn;t take a dive for his Commie overlords.

Plus Palin had more executove experience than McCain, Obama, and Biden COMBINED!!!!!!

And didn’t go to Vietnam, because he “had more important things to do”.

I completely disagree with Cheney on Palin and other issues BUT he didn't go to Vietnam because he was married with 2 kids --Do you really think the draft board would accept " I had more important things to do as a reason " not to draft him ?

I could never understand the LOVE for Cheney some FReepers have.

He’s always been a fake tough guy...always sending others to do his dirty work.

And he’s always been an NWO elitist just like the scum Bush family.

He and his dyke daughter need to get lost.

Sarah Palin is a true American patriot and Dick the dick Cheeny is just another elite one worlder spewing the elite's propaganda. Denouncing Sarah Palin and other good American patriots (Michelle Bachman) is the elite's under handed effort to denounce the Tea Party patriot movement.

He started having heart trouble in his early 30s.

Most likely they'd caught that problem at a pre-induction physical and you'd never seen him again ~ not even for a deferment.

Frankly, I hated it when a couple of the inductees who came in when I did just flopped over dead out running around the track in the morning before breakfast. That sort of thing is just a big downer.

No, I didn't trip over their bodies ~ but others did.

OK. I checked it out. Cheney says he likes Gov Palin but she lacked the qualification to step right into the presidency by only having served 2 years as Governor.

Says it was a “mistake”. No honor there Dick. ABC was orgasmic over retrieving that sound bite. Video here:

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/07/dick-cheney-picking-sarah-palin-for-vp-was-a-mistake/

This is AFTER his heart transplant (gave him a Lib heart?). Also he does NOT say weather Sarah made them lose. He does not comment on pathetic paucity of Obama’s “experience”

“Do ANY of you people really need any more evidence that the Romney forced nomination is part of a grand GOP elite plan to marginalize the Tea Party?”

What plan?

Romney was beaten in SC and falling behind in Florida.

But all he had to do was run a couple of negative ads against Newt, and watch as the idiots on our side scattered like beat dogs. Which is what we do all the time.

No elite plan at all. Just knowing how full of it and weak-minded our side gets sometimes.

Yet not a peep from him about Idiot Biden’s qualifications.

Methinks Dick got a lefty heart transplant.
