Dick Cheney prefers Limbaugh to Powell

[ewill332]

Obama is not seeking All power, One World Order, or anything else. Obama wants American to be successful like it used to be. America used to give hope to the rest of the world. Now we are clowns. We all saw what happens without regulation. The private sector ran a muck and bankrupt us. We are still struggling, as rich as this nation is, to get out of that big hole. We need regulation and policing on the private sector. Without it, who can and will challenge the public sector? extacty. rest case

[educateusgirls]

I'm sure Cheney likes Hitler, too!

[winkenburger]

You are showing your ignorance. What the hell is that supposed to mean?? Cheney believes in free market capitalism and hates totalitarianism ---whether it's communism or fascism. Obama and his cohorts are the ones who want to continue to grow government and take over the private sector ---Obama is following Saul Alinsky's model (communist author of book: Rules For Radicals) to a tee. Obama is more like Hitler (far right) or Stalin (far left), who both wanted absolute power.

[winkenburger]

And as any student of history knows, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Liberals love to call anyone they disagree with "Hitler" but your ignorance is showing!

[Zile77]

Powell has actually revealed himself a traitor. Not only did he vote against his party because of race, but he also went against his own conscious when he went to the UN to promote starting the war in Iraq. Powell became a liberal because of Obama, falling under his spell, along with all those libs who can't think for themselves. I used to like Powell, even went to one of his ocal college speeches, but he made little sense even then, with contradicting statements. Now he's just a media puppet.

[TheJulsMan]

I'm not surprised his speech didn't make sense to you. He probably didn't lace it with all the Becksonian conspiracy-theories that are much more understandable. So you are sure that Powell voted because of race. So if Jesse Jackson ran Powell would have supported him? Likely not. Maybe, just maybe, Powell was a bit pissed at the W administration; after all he was the only one the world trusted out of the lot. You know that cost him a possible presidency seat?!? You'd be mad too!

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the rushie herbert hoover neocons is the obstruction party of NO .. the neocons are mind controlled mega ditto heads ... and once again ... it is the jedi knight obama fighting against darth vader ... i mean cheney ... they are fighting about terrorism ... but cheney knows that most people are unaware that military grade explosives have been found in all samples of 911 wtc dust ... meaning vader was behind the 911 attacks ... and vader insists an imaginary enemy be fought with your tax dollar

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

The Associated Press is reporting that former Vice President Dick Cheney and Entertainer Rush Limbaugh will be dropped into the Hudson River from the Ron Paul Blimp this Fourth of July.

[right4us]

tgear - You are the obtuse one - I posted PROOF: watch?v=DZaa5R6-_kU "the morning calls between Emanuel, Carville, Stephanopoulos and Begala, pollster Stan Greenberg....

Begala offers the most academic interpretation of the calls and their daily survey of political news. Emanuel is the most likely to be talking policy, usually some program Democrats can use to score points in the daily partisan brawl with Republicans."

Decided "daily agenda" gets pushed out to the MANY Dem shill media

[right4us]

.. and your source is proven liar and turncoat Scott McClellan? LOL

Oh, and Dems don't do that, but Reps do? LOL

On top of that AGAIN - Fox is ONE station - and to listen to your side - no one watches Fox but a few rightwingers anyway.

So, other than discredited McClellan - your proof? Where's the evidence this occurred just because a bitter fired dweeb makes an accusation?

Again, I provided proof of a CABAL of Dems media who all parrot the same msgs - nbc,msnbc,abc,cbs,cnn,pbs,npr

[scotthebruce]

right4us you are nothing but obsessed.

please, reply to prove my point.

[right4us]

scott - LOL - Let's understand your logic; YOU can post repeatedly about this, yet, another rebutting you is "obsessed"

And, what has been (often is) proven is that some post wi/ verifible back up, and prove credible - while other's don't.

Finally, YOU don't decide the perception of posters here - or, who makes the most cogent and compelling arguments - the readers, if any, make up their own mind for themselves.

[biffsmith1950]

I agree the Republicans are better off with Limbaugh. Thank god for Rush and Dick. Keep up the good work guys the country appreciates your noble deeds. You sick sons of bitches ! A couple of all american butt fuckers !

[Fignut666]

I guess drugged up wind bag beats four star general makes sense tis the republican way..

[FigurinItOut]

Cheney and Limbaugh -- both draft dodgers who tell us how to wave the flag.

Colin Powell -- twice a war hero, quiet, unassuming, intelligent.

Need we say more?

[tonmagicwon]

hey rethuglicans, your DICK is out trying to screw everyone again.

[happynomogop]

This guy belongs in jail and why is his daughter even on T.V.?Aren't we sick of these people stealing our government for themselves?Our government "AIN"T" ur family business!

[jjmcoates]

obama has doubled our national debt.. Bush was bad on the economy but Obama is worse

[tonmagicwon]

and then you woke up with a dick in your mouth

[peanut3butterjelly]

There's no freedom in this this country, but everyone think there is. The media controls everything and they make you believe what they want you to believe in and ultimately have control over you.

[peanut3butterjelly]

Yea just keep denying the fact that Obama actually try to govern this country the right way. From what i've seen in the past eight years is that people likes to ride on the bandwagon and believe everthing that the corporate media tells them. They tell things that people likes to hear, and when someone says or do the right thing, everyone bash him in this case Obama.

[Subway0001]

don't feed the Trolls please, lol

[JimmyFormerMarine]

Get what? Obama adding trillions of debt with skyhigh unemployment??

[FigurinItOut]

Boy, I just had a lively thought. What if Cheney gave his full support to Powell? Limbaugh would be sweating for hours trying to figure out the best spin to put on it. "How can I phrase it so my beloved dittoheads will still see me as their lord and master?"

Limbaugh can relax now. He can go rub mineral oil on Cheney's naked buttocks and slowly lick it off.

(Oooo, where did that come from? Now I feel ill...)

[FigurinItOut]

BREAKING NEWS!!! Dick Cheney supports Limbaugh over Powell!!! I'm shocked and dismayed!

That's like Tom Cruise preferring L. Ron Hubbard over Sigmund Freud.

Aren't Cheney and Limbaugh Scientologists?

[TellitToMe100]

You gotta love the Taliban_Republicans. Thank God for Vanna White, Shot gun Wedding, (ooops, wedding got aborted) Sarah Palin and now this. The gift that just keeps on giving. Rabid Republicans are the best thing that ever happened for the Democratic Party. I think somebody needs to lay off the oxicottin and do a Sadam by going back into that undisclosed rat hole you were hiding in!

[qualityrkc]

Im not a dem but rabid republicans are good for anybody with half a brain. Republican party is absolutely dead. THEY JUST DONT GET IT. And I feel like they never will.

[lenegal77]

Keep talking, you moron. Your party will stay dead.

[rasaxSF]

Surprise, surprise. Cheney prefers Lush Rimjob over Powell.

Hey, Dick, save the excuses for your trial at The Hague. That's where war criminals go.

[machngunjoe]

Can CBS STOP giving this Doosh-bag air time please?

[underbird]

no republican can ever be for expanding government. That is the main plank. Its probably the only plank in 2010. Larger government = less freedom.

[christmanpunch]

Collen Powell recently:

"Americans don't mind paying high taxes."

"Most Americans want a lot more government in their lives."

Yeah, he's a Republican alright. LMAO

He jumped onboard the conservative movement under the Reagan administration when it was popular and now that conservatism isn't popular anymore he's jumped over to the liberals.

Opportunist flip-flopper defined. There's no way in hell you can call yourself a Republican and be for growing the size of government.

[mikelowry5]

"Americans don't mind paying high taxes."

"Most Americans want a lot more government in their lives."

If Powell really said these things, then fire Steele and hire him. Give Powell credit for speaking the truth.

The Republicans have, for the moment LOST these intellectual battles, which is why polling currently supports higher taxes and government.

The debate should not be kicking Powell out of our Party. The debate should be on how we can revive the case for smaller government.

[terrence0258]

The truth is people like the rhetoric of smaller government and lower taxes but they hate the realities. If someone came into the White House and really shrunk the federal government by cutting peoples social security and ending Medicare, slashing funding in public education, taking cops off the street, ending unemployment benefits just to name a few, that president would be less popular than any of his predecessors.

[Electrophill]

I think it's more that no one cares what this crook has to say. Not much interest these days on deferrment loving draft dodgers trying to be militaristic. I think there's even less interest in dim witted slackers like Bush trying to act like a president. That didn't work either.

We're back on track now with real leaders. You might want to think about joining us.

Or at least shutting the hell up so we can get about cleaning up all the dog shit left by Bush/Cheney.

[MarinK123]

Dick Cheney likes the Oxycontin abusing, draft dodging, college dropout Rush Limbaugh who want our "President to fail" to lead the Republicans. How many more people can they alienate? Put Rush in charge and you will find out!

Dick Cheney does not want the Well Educated and intelligent War Hero, Colin Powell because he represents the moderate sector of the Republican party.

Colin Powell will attract a diverse, educated, more moderate crowd to the Republican Party.

Seems a no brainer to me

[christmanpunch]

Um no. He'll attract people that have no idea what the Republican party stands for. There's all kinds of room for diversity of opinion when it comes to being a Republican. But there's certain issues you just can't support and call yourself a Republican. If you support hiking up taxes on Americans then you're not a Republican, if you don't support cutting federal spending then you're not a Republican. Screw this "compassionate" and "moderate" Republican nonsense.

[Electrophill]

christmanpunch, how old are you guy?

Cause if you are old enough to remember Reagan, then you know he was a democrat that switched to the republican party when he ran for office.

Reagan is an original *neo-con*. The original neo-cons were democrats that hated the presumed softness democrats had on Communism and switched to republican.

Somewhere along the line, bible thumpers and rednecks screwed it all up.

And here we are. Reagan today would switch back to democratic party.

[underbird]

you hypocrites wanted him charged with war crimes until you found out who he was voting for. And none of you even listen to the guys show.

[bloggerfl5486]

NO Dick the Dinosaur is ILLRELVELANT! Cheney is out of the Mainstream, Hes Barbaric, out of touch with reality, Dick is a Fuck-Face Terd! Shame on you DICK!

[smart14u2]

OMG they are digging at the bottom of the barrell .... Rush Limbaugh? that fat Oxycontin addicted MORON .... Republicans are DOOMED ! and Cheney should be hiding because SOON they will be called on to stand the accusations of WAR CRIMES ... along with his other cronies !!!!!!

[avelon29]

ur party was doom ten years ago but now are in control. what goes around comes around, whatever goes up must come down. yep ur guess is good coz when u think of something's dead comes alive.

[ambsie0]

Yeah, stupid dems think that the party is going to last forever..haha. All I have to say is "JIMMY CARTER".

[BADDDKARMA]

In about a decade or so, after the gop has been relegated to the party of 20% of the country, political historians will look back and cite dipshits like dickless Cheney and his puppet "W" as a primary reason for the downfall. This dumbass should be waterboarded until his pacemaker shorts out. But keep veering to the right, dick. Your attitude makes Democratic rule for the next generation a fucking slam dunk. Now go kiss rush's ass some more, you draft dodging pussy. Obama 2012, repubs!

[ShaytanBozorg]

That's a typical lib, your enemy is your fellow Americans instead of those who want to kill us. Do you see why conservative Americans are frightened to death of what your ilk will do to our country?

[biffsmith1950]

You got that right. Fear, you only react to fear not logic or reason. Everything with you guys has something to do with the boogie man. The taliban and al-queda work the same way. Rule by fear and hate. You guys are reall pathetic. I guess I really should differentiate because it is the conservative wing that is nuts, they have taken over the Republican party the the detriment of the party.

[ShaytanBozorg]

And you seem completely logical and enlightened. lol

[biffsmith1950]

Yep, that is correct.

[Electrophill]

ShaytanBozorg.

You're either with us, or against us. It's your rule.

Support the commander in chief during war time. We have 2 wars going on nimwit. Once again, it's your rule.

What's that saying? Make the bed, now lay in it?

Cheney needs to get on board and support his commander in chief. We are at war. He and Rove literally made the rule up.

Why isn't that deferrment loving draft dodging yellow belly'd drunk following it?

[nightmoves44]

It's mind-boggling how any network would interview this guy. He's over with. His opinion means nothing. Colin Powell will always have more class than Dick Cheney. If the republican party wants to re-build, they need to quit reaching out to the idiots who put them in such an unfavorable position.

[ShaytanBozorg]

Whatsa matter, lib? lol

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the rushie herbert hoover neocons is the obstruction party of NO .. the neocons are mind controlled mega ditto heads ... the meocons are hard liners ... you are either with us or against us ... colin powel - out .. but the dixie chicks were right ... the meocons shouldn't have blown up the wtc on 911 .. a 31-page report with photos & spectra published April 3, 2009, in The Open Chemical Physics Journal found unburnt pieces of military grade nano thermite explosive everywhere in the 911 wtc dust

[KRKahn87]

Liberals' heads explode in 3...2...1...

[alanmorri]

Cheney is pure evil. People just do not get any lower as a human being in ideals or behavior...

[ReliableInsider]

Colin Powell was the second best thing that ever happened to the Republican Party.

Rush Limbaugh is the second worst.

[ambsie0]

Collin Powell can kiss my a**!

[ReliableInsider]

Republicans,

Stop flailing around and LISTEN to yourselves!

You're all anger and no sense.

[ShaytanBozorg]

What kind of delusional creatures are you liberals? You constantly go on and on about what Republicans should do to win. You aren't Repbulicans -- you wouldn't have a clue what they should do to appeal to human beings (Republicans). It's so idiotic. Don't you see it?

[nightmoves44]

No, and neither do 74% of the rest of the country. Find a real political party, or form a new one at least. Oh, and make sure it leans way to the right so it will be so hugely supported.

[ShaytanBozorg]

Are you really ignorant enough to think Republicans would take the advice of an American-hating lowlife liberal? lol. No.

[biffsmith1950]

Republican Human ? Don't think so asshole.

[ShaytanBozorg]

Go kill a baby, you fucking Marxist filth,

[biffsmith1950]

Why would I do that ? The Republicans are the lowlife. What a bunch of stupid fuckin yocals.

[ShaytanBozorg]

You show your backward intolerance everytime you speak, idiot.

[ReliableInsider]

The new leader of the Republican Party, Rush Limbaugh, is a comedian.

And the new Republican Party is a joke.

[HarryJAnslinger]

Wow!

[boguslife]

It is true, Limbaugh is the leader of the GOP, even the ex-vice president pucker ups.

[boguslife]

Can we send his ass to jail already,

[ambsie0]

Like the Democrats are doing a better job today..what a joke. JOKE! Send Obama To Jail, He's a crook from Cook County. He was marinated in CORRUPTION and he's very comfortable with it. You are a mindless lib that cannot think for himself. Dems Say You Are For Illegals and therefore you are...HA! Losing issue for Dems is "Torture" and it's proving that they are a bunch of f*cking liars.

[alanmorri]

That would be sweet justice!

[right4us]

p3 - You have your wires cross on who cannot think for themselves. In repeated polls it was the Dem voters who had no idea about political issues, it's own members of congress, even that the Dems controlled congress during Bush term, etc.. But they sure knew tabloid BS about Republicans.

And, it is like hearing parrots flipping from MSM channel to channel as they all repeat the same talking points. It is the Dems that have morn. conference calls to develop talking pts for the parrots!!

[tgear77]

First off, right4us, it has been confirmed by several sources that Fox News was taking talking points memos daily from the Bush White House. Far more evidence of that than of your insinuation that the Dems do it now. Secondly, how about all of the videos here on Youtube alone showing Republican voters mouthing off fallacies and outright lies from the last election and even last month Tea Parties. Let's just admit that the majority of Americans are ill-informed, regardless of party.

[right4us]

tgear77 - lol - Fox getting talking pts - EVERY news org gets W.H. talking pts from administrations. However, it HAS BEEN OUTED - that high level DEM admin has daily phone conferences w/ top DEM supporting media talking heads. In addition to the MULTIPLE DEM supporting news outlets getting W.H. talking pts. vs one (Fox).

And, I will agree that many are ill informed. But, will comment that in polls taken conservatives (either party) are the most informed about political issues and players.

[tgear77]

No, every news organization does not get talking points from White House Administrations. The news media is supposed to report the news from an unbiased point of view (I'm not saying that all do; I'm just saying that is how it is supposed to be). That is the reason the White House has a Press Secretary who gives daily press conferences, so that the reporters can take what the White House presents and report it as they see fit. I do not think you understand what talking points are. Regardless...

[tgear77]

(cont) the difference is that Fox News, under Robert Ailes, received daily morning briefings directly from the White House on what the day's message was to be and then turned around and reported it verbatim. That has been proven to be true, as opposed to your innuendo about the Obama Administration.

[right4us]

tgear -Yes, all of the major news orgs get talking pts sent out to them on issues & topics. At least that what some of the talking heads report. But, maybe you know more that the Washington insiders!

I know what the WH press sec & briefings are for - duh, u ditz.

And, ONE conservative vs multiple DEM/lib cabal of parrots.

Dsipute this, mr innuendo:

It was reported by Politico. And, watch how lying Begala tries to dance around answering the question:

watch?v=DZaa5R6-_kU

[tgear77]

Again, you just don't get it. But after reading your comments to others here on this thread, it seems that you are convinced that only you get it and everyone else is wrong. How do you carry around an ego that big? With a wheelbarrow? Anyway, every Administration communicates with the newsmedia and gives the "talking points" on the current issues. That is what Obama's WH does, just like all the others. But Bush's White House used Fox News as a defacto arm of the Press Secretary's office...

[tgear77]

(cont). Fox News held morning meetings with its producers to go over what the White House wanted them to say each day. That is a monumental difference from what Obama's White House is doing and what all other administrations have done. There is a great difference between "This is what we are saying and we hope you get the point" and "This is what we are saying, now go repeat it to your viewers". But you are probably to obtuse to see that.

[cagedtigersteve]

Colin Powell, the general, the Republican Party's secretary of state, the decorated military commander, or Rush Limbaugh, the radio talk show host, the college drop out, the guy who calls our soldiers "phony," the drug addict. We know who Dick prefers.

[voyeurdug]

Which do you like more - the level-headed moderate, or the right-wing druggie?

Decisions, decisions!

[right4us]

voyeur -Since the Pres. is a left wing self professed "druggie" - your related sarcasim rings hollow - or, maybe just wreaks.of hypocrisy!

[MrRolodex]

I support Cheney's decision, its just another loss for the Republicants gaining Rush and a plus for Dems gaining Powell.

[scotthebruce]

As a moderate, Mr. Cheney's comments disturb me. To act as though the person that was charged by republicans to sell their mark upon the world in the last decade (the invasion of Iraq) was no longer a member of their circle has me thinking that the party is no longer a viable one.

What can possibly attract voters to a party that carelessly abandons those that moderates look to?

Cheney talks about not moving one inch to the left as though they are at war. To me, it is a war they can't win.

[right4us]

scott - Several of your comments disturb me.

Powell endorsed a liberal Democrat - over the "prized" liberal media Republican. The moderates moderate in the Republican party. A fellow soldier & friend to Powell. Give me a break.

Furthermore, Cheney did not "talks about not moving one inch to the left.." - he embraced moderates, and stated "FAR LEFT" - either you didn't listen, or you chose to mischaricterize his comments.

Repubs are in trouble because you couldn't tell them from Dems.

[scotthebruce]

right4us, i'll give you a break: cheney did say he "didn't think the party should move dramatically to the left." but in my opinion, with party politics, what you see is what you get.

when you have a base so stubborn as to create a movement away from the party--in the form of rejection--you have ultimately defeated political gain.

and nevermind arlen spector, telling powell to leave the republican party is counterproductive, and honestly very revealing.

[right4us]

scott - Colon Powell's words and actions are very revealing! Here is someone who has his alledged ideal candidate - a moderate Republican who reaches accros the isle to even the most liberal Dems, against "torture" fellow soldier, long time friend, etc... and Powell votes for the other party who has the most liberal candidate (who voted to cut off funding for troops) with a partisan politcal hack as VP, with already a majority in both houses - to give them NO checks & balances to libs/leftists.

[scotthebruce]

if you think, powell thought (or ought to have thought) that john mccain was an ideal candidate, you're mistaken. powell supported obama because he thought obama represented a fresh opinion, sorely needed in american government, which i tend to agree with. sure, he's friends with mccain, but that doesn't mean powell was obligated to vote for him for president.

[right4us]

scott - I don't know, or care, what party you declare - and how little, or what news you watch - But, for you to claim "I am mistaken" about Powell/McCain - shows how ill informed you are. McCains WAS exacttly what Powell professed would be an ideal Rep candidate. You are calling Tens of millions of Republicans/conservatives "mistaken", if you are so arrogant in your uninformed opinion! Their comments have not only been on the air (radio/tv) but in print & blogs. Geeze.

[right4us]

.. The same goes for "checks & balances" - How out of touch are you? This is a continually repeated issue on may venues and by many people/pundits/commentators/bl­oggers/posters! - Good Grief!

As, to why Powell chose Obama? Who cares? That he did is stabbing the Republican party in the back - no matter how you slice it. And Obama DID vote to cut funding for troops - Biden even criticized him in the Dem primary over it.

watch?v=0f4I6GWTnLM

That's military man Powell's choice!

[scotthebruce]

and obama voted against funding, if he did--i know he voted against the surge--he did so because he disagreed with the first decision to go into iraq, not because he thinks the military is evil, or that he generally dislikes troops. that sentiment is absolutely rediculous.

and to complain as you are about checks and balances is a little absurd as well. just because they have power in both houses doesn't mean that they're going to vote along party lines all they way--they already haven't

[scotthebruce]

"Repubs are in trouble because you couldn't tell them from Dems."

nevermind that party figures such as democrats barack obama, hillary clinton, and harry reid, as well as republicans dick cheney, george bush jr, and rush limbaugh are the most polarizing figures in politics.

do you really think that there are dramatic similarities? are the parties so simlar as to create confusion?

maybe to you, but not to the voting majority.

[mavrek47]

You would think the RepubliCON Party would ask for a FEDERAL BAILOUT due to their holding NO true VALUE anymore, embarrassing down-sizing, & being TOTALLY unsuccessful when it comes to having a say in ANY matters which reach the House or Senate Floor. (LOL)

Rush, Please get OFF the Oxy-Contin....it's obviously eaten away your entire brain!

President Obama was right....John Boehner needs to do something about the obvious cheap face-tan color spray he uses daily.

R.I.P. GOP ~Colin Powell

[Richardgwm]

I love this.

Keep Cheney and Rush in the public eye. Maybe the Republicans can get party membership down to 15% of the population.

[p3snooper]

"...I'd go with Rush Limbaugh..."

Of course you would, Mr. Cheney. You prefer a society where people cannot think for themselves. You and Rush -- two peas in a pod.

What planet are you two from?

[ShaytanBozorg]

Why are liberals so obsessed with race? You're such ignorant people. You ignore what you don't want to see. You have your own media freaks. In fact, your "informed" young Obama voters readily admit they get their political news from Jon Stewart.

[tahoeml]

Satan speaks.

[crimsong19]

Wow ... Dick ... you really stand up to your namesake!
