Cheney: Palin pick was a mistake

you senile old coot...

We SOOOOOOOOO need term limits...

with no worries about reelection by voters. Term limits are a terrible idea.

I also think term limits are a terrible idea, but I like your reason better than mine. I don't want term limits in my state, as the chances of electing a no-nothing are much too high. I like having persons representing me who know how to do their job. Electing all those idiot tea partiers in 2010 convinced me that term limits were a bad idea.

endlessly entertaining gift that keeps on giving. and a guaranteed loser.

i guess that makes all the difference.

for Romney, Offered in response to Romney's remarks the other day in Israel about Islamic leaders throughout the Muslim world.

IOW it's is Cheney telling war supporters that PNAC et al will back Romney.

I mean, why else would he bother saying something like this?

So were you Cheney..

Romney's a mistake who isn't ready to take over, either, and yet Cheney's pulling for him--

until the election is over, that is. THEN he will come clean about how Romney was a mistake, too.

(like the rest of us don't already know that)

CEO of Hollowburden, big f-ing deal. So he knows how to get oil from the ground to international markets. That does not a good veep make.

Dear Dick
you can't win them all
2008 was the repugs year to lose no matter who McLame picked. and Prayfully 2012 is the Repugs year to lose, and if I an not being too greedy 2016 hopefully ain't looking to good for you either!

my response to Bunker DicKKK would have to be,

no shit Sherlock.

Teabaggers won't like this.

This is going to need the big popcorn machine.



And I'll throw in some cotton candy for 1/2 price!

They're out!!

Pot, meet kettle!

An Even Bigger Mistake


rocktivity

of the worst most unqualified presidential candidate and president in history. WORST.

is his plea before the International Criminal Court

I'm trying to remember; how did it turn out last time he was picked to do that?

The most common view over there is that the mistake was in having McCain at the top of the ticket. Many of them assert that, without Palin as a running mate, McCain would have lost by an even bigger margin.

If you want to visit their alternate reality: Free Republic thread about Cheney and Palin.

Some say they never liked Cheney anyway. Others say that they've now lost all respect for him.

The strength of their loyalty to Palin is really striking.

Thom Hartmann frequently discusses the Two Santa Claus strategy devised in 1976 by Republican strategist Jude Wanniski. Read his National Observer op-ed from March 6, 1976 here. Basically, the theory goes: "The Democrats, the party of income redistribution, are best suited for the role of Spending Santa Claus. The Republicans, traditionally the party of income growth, should be the Santa Claus of Tax Reduction." Also, Republicans "embrace the role of Scrooge, playing into the hands of the Democrats, who know the first rule of successful politics is Never Shoot Santa Claus. The political tension in the market place of ideas must be between tax reduction and spending increases, and as long as Republicans have insisted on balanced budgets, their influence as a party has shriveled, and budgets have been imbalanced." And: "As (Republicans) succeed in expanding incentives to produce, they will move the economy back to full employment and thereby reduce social pressures for public spending."

During the election of 2008, the Democrats controlled both bodies of Congress, and the president was a Republican. Thus, the Republicans would have MORE power of screaming and hollering "DEBT! DEFICIT!" if a Democrat made it to the White House. Conservatives...like Cheney in this case...have acknowledged that Republicans might have intentionally wanted to lose the 2008 election in order to gain more power by screaming at Democrats. In 2010, Michael Savage wrote this revealing passage in the intro to his book Trickle Up Poverty: Stopping Obama's Attack on Our Borders, Economy, and Security:



With the Bush tax cuts still in effect and debt ceiling debacle last summer we're seeing this "make the Democrats shoot Santa Claus" strategy in action. Do you know why House Speaker John Boehner bragged after the debt negotiations, "I got 98% of what I wanted"? As CBS reported, "...no stimulus in the debt-ceiling/deficit plan. Nada. No extension of unemployment benefits through 2012. No payroll tax holiday extension through 2012. Nor a move to extend the program to include employers in the tax holiday."

Republicans in Congress did the same thing back in the Clinton administration. In 1993, Newt Gingrich (then the House Minority Leader) went on the House floor and predicted that Clinton's economic plan (like raising the top tax rate slightly) would crash the economy (obviously not true). The following year, control of both bodies of Congress flipped from Democrats to Republicans, and one of the landmark achievements of the Clinton administration was "ending welfare as we know it".

Is my guess.

They know who you are and what you did.

God wants to have a talk with you......
