Cheney is a game changer.

Aren’t there any other patriots with access to the media and the stature to withstand Obama administration retaliation willing to challenge Obama?

In fact, Cheney would have loved to speak out earlier but he deferred to Bush and took it day after day. Now with the shackles off, we are seeing the REAL Dick Cheney. This is the Dick Cheney that told Bush #41 that he would never trust the Russians as the only member of the cabinet to do so.

Cheney IMO is head of the Republican Party with a spine and speaks for me along with his daughter, Liz!

The AssPress is whining:

In the Guantanamo argument,Obama's critics didn't worry about legalities, court decisions or complexities. They invented an argument about letting terrorists move next door to Americans.
Although no one had ever suggested such a thing, it worked, . . .

The AssPress is whining:

As opposed to the BS that Gitmo is a huge recruitment tool for terrorists against us spoken ad nauseum? What's more likely you AssPress is that the attack on the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon is more of a huge propaganda recruitment tool for the Al Qaeda terrorists.

Another crock from the dishonest and stupid Associated Presstitutes. The Obambi Administration not only planned to release some detainees to live freely in Northern Virginia but to support them with our tax dollars!

DEBATE??? please, that jackazz stood behind the damn TOTUS...

[lentulusgracchus]

I wonder which token moderate they’ll trot out telling us how wrong Cheney is and how embarrassing it is to the ‘party’?

Good call, but they've already had David Brooks come out to discount Cheney on Charlie Rose last night.

[lentulusgracchus]

Either way, Obama loses something.

You're right, he's clueless, and now he's also stuck at the top of the political ladder.

A successful terrorist strike, a substantial one, would be politically devastating to the Obamarrhoids in the MSM and Administration (remember they overlap: Begala-Carville-Emanuel-Clintonopoulos all on speed dial together).

And I think that is what Cheney is doing, engaging Obama and getting him on the record, setting a marker against which Obama's future failures will be measured whether Obama and his pressbots like it or not.

Point.

David who? No, just kidding. I know he’s the token ‘conservative’ at the times. I guess their token-conservative bench must be pretty thin.
