GREAT NEWS for Crist, Meek! Cheney Endorsed Rubio!

According to CNN, Cheney has endorsed Marco Rubio over Charlie Crist:

"Washington is broken and Congress is already overflowing with politicians who need pollsters to tell them what to think," Cheney said of Crist. "It certainly doesn't need another one. Now more than ever America needs leaders with the strength of conviction."

Why is this great news?

Because Cheney is a loser: so far his choices have failed miserably.

Cheney endorsed Kay Baily Hutchinson against Rick Perry last November. FAIL. (Perry beat her by 21 points).

Cheney came out strongly for McCain and stumped for him the November before. EPIC FAIL.


Cheney endorsed blocking the healthcare reform bill. YET ANOTHER FAIL.


Cheney endorsed Secretary of State Trey Grayson over eye surgeon Rand Paul for the upcoming Kentucky Senate primary. Paul is currently CRUSHING him 42-27 percent! UPCOMING EPIC FAIL!

Now the Undislosed Location, Fear-mongering, Waterboarder in Chief has endorsed wingnut idiot Marco Rubio (who by the way, is under IRS and FBI investigation for criminal wrong doing) for Florida Senate!

FINALLY, some good news for Crist and better news for liberal candidate Meek!

Solemn Memorial Day..and a Screw You to Bush/Cheney

From a veteran let me say God Bless to all those serving in Iraq and Afgahnistan.

And screw you to Bush (who cried to Daddy to get him in the Guard to avoid fighting) and 5-time deferment Dick Cheney. You cowards had your chance to fight in a war, now you send 19 year olds who had the bravery you didn't.

Rot in hell.

Cheney Smacked Down by 85-Year Old Man

McGovern responds to Cheney. OUCH...

Vice President Dick Cheney recently attacked my 1972 presidential platform and contended that today's Democratic Party has reverted to the views I advocated in 1972. In a sense, this is a compliment, both to me and the Democratic Party. Cheney intended no such compliment. Instead, he twisted my views and those of my party beyond recognition. The city where the vice president spoke, Chicago, is sometimes dubbed "the Windy City." Cheney converted the chilly wind of Chicago into hot air. [...]

He also said that the McGovern way is to surrender in Iraq and leave the U.S. exposed to new dangers. The truth is that I oppose the Iraq war, just as I opposed the Vietnam War, because these two conflicts have weakened the U.S. and diminished our standing in the world and our national security.

In the war of my youth, World War II, I volunteered for military service at the age of 19 and flew 35 combat missions, winning the Distinguished Flying Cross as the pilot of a B-24 bomber. By contrast, in the war of his youth, the Vietnam War, Cheney got five deferments and has never seen a day of combat — a record matched by President Bush. [...]

On one point I do agree with Cheney: Today's Democrats are taking positions on the Iraq war similar to the views I held toward the Vietnam War. But that is all to the good. [...]

We, of course, already know that when Cheney endorses a war, he exempts himself from participation. On second thought, maybe it's wise to keep Cheney off the battlefield — he might end up shooting his comrades rather than the enemy.

On a more serious note, instead of listening to the foolishness of the neoconservative ideologues, the Cheney-Bush team might better heed the words of a real conservative, Edmund Burke: "A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood."
