Cheney's Shocking Attack On Palin - Was Dick Cheney Ever a True Conservative?

[pinochet]

Palin is the people's conservative, while Cheney is the corporate conservative. God, family, and country, are at the center of Palin's conservatism, while corporations are at the center of Cheney's so-called conservatism. Go Sarah! I wish you would run again in 2016, this time at the top of the ticket. Reagan was elected on his third Presidential campaign, after failing in 1968 and 1976. You are young, and you still have plenty of time left. Go Sarah!

[Logical me]

Cheney would be lucky if he could even come near to the conservative standard of Palin. Cheney must be off his rocker.

[Nifster]

Cheney was always part of the old boys network. His allegiance has always been to the Bushes. I am not so sure that he wants women in ‘high places’ and particularly not someone like Palin who cleaned house and got rid of the corruption (at least for awhile)

[frogjerk]

I think this is an over reaction on your part and I would be careful to not fall into the cult of personality thing for Palin. I like her too but she has said some things that whe was wrong about as well. Like stating that Condi Rice would make a good VP pick. Totally and utterly wrong.

[Timber Rattler]

I don't think it was an outright attack since Cheney was simply answering a question and didn't voluntarily go on a rant like Rove or Rollins, BUT he thoughtlessly demonstrated the typical GOP-E mindset about her, and by extension TEA Party Conservatives.

I'm glad his daughter quickly set him right, but the damage was already done by that point.

Cheney, Gerald Ford, and Nelson Rockefeller, caused America to be defeated by Vietnam..

Mmmm ... I don't think so...

---

His criticism is pretty much worthless unless he can offer up an example of someone that he thinks would have been better than Palin. Did he?

[Breto]

Begs the question... where did they get the heart they sewed into him

[US Navy Vet]

Dick Cheney is a RINO Turd in the vein of Poppy Bush, Geranl Ford and George Rommney.

[frogjerk]

The only other military defeat that America suffered was by Britain in the War of 1812, but Britain was the world's leading super power in that time.

Huh, I thought we won the war of 1812.

“His allegiance has always been to the Bushes”, and the Fords.

Ronald Reagan made mistakes as well, such as being a Democrat for many years. Reagan openly admitted that mistake in reply to a question from Sam Donaldson. See this clip:

No.

[JaguarXKE]

Condi Rice would sure as heck make a better VP that the dolt we have now!

[Theodore R.]

I hadn’t thought about Cheney being a Rockefeller man, but he was; did he urge Rockefeller to step down in favor of Dole, another “winner”?

[cicero2k]

Cheney = Gravitas

He was the foundation of his ticket, because Bush was easily flustered on the podium. Plus Cheney had significant international exposure.

But McCain was no Bush. He was too old, too GREEN, too RINO. That ticket needed Palin more than anything. She’s a political rock star. The gay dominated media know it and are afraid.

Until this past month, independents did not understand that there is such a thing as a gay mafia controlling much of news and entertainment. And now, big city mayors.

“Cheney, Gerald Ford, and Nelson Rockefeller, caused America to be defeated by Vietnam..” uhhh NOPE, it was MacNamera, LBJ and a WORTHLESS Piece of SH!T DEM “Congress”!

[Sir Napsalot]

C'mon. Cheney did not attack Palin.

Dick Cheney expressed his opinion that Palin, as VP, was not ready to take over the US presidency in 2008. He represented the OLD SCHOOL inside DC GOP think.

Personally I think Cheney made a mistake, but that does not qualify as 'attack Palin'.

[noexcuses]

McCain’s campaign did a great job picking Palin..the problem is they did a poor job defending her and in some cases did some negative piling on themselves. In that sense she was not the best pick for VP for that particular campaign.

[Navy Patriot]

Agreed. Considering that Cheney started out young as a jerk, and it was his wife that inspired him to become reasonably responsible, he should have a lot more respect for capable and worthy women.

Note that his own daughter also put him in his place, as did Palin, both effectively, without trashing him.

Stupidity, thanks, Dick.

Sorry, I mean thanks dick.
