GOP Insiders Say Cheney is Hurting Party


A solid 57% of Republicans said former Vice President Dick Cheney has "hurt the Republican Party since leaving office" in this week's National Journal Political Insiders Poll.

Representative comments:

"Anything that reminds the public of the Bush administration harms the party's ability to turn the page. If he'd had any concern for his public image when he was in office, he wouldn't have to worry as much about defending his reputation now."

"There is nothing Dick Cheney can say or do to help the Republican Party today. The best thing he can do is disappear for the next 10 years."

2. Hopefully, the justice department will disappear him to his own private bunker.

3. "The best thing he can do is disappear for the next 10 years." Why soitenly!

We can all help make that happen! Let's let the independent investigations begin, and follow the truth and the evidence wherever they lead. That oughta make cheney disappear for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG time - in permanent, high-security custody where he belongs.

Keep talking, tricky dicky!

But the Cheney family trends toward conducting themselves as http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larisa-alexandrovna/lizzie-cheney-the-pride_b_39398.html">war profiteers so that whenever, as with people's lying lips moving; when we see the Cheney's all over the map saying the strangest things we know...

They are no-less than, a) out of the M-I-C loop at the policy/funding level and so less than able to effect R&D, purchases of weapon systems in a manner to which they are accustomed, etc, and/or, b) the returns on their defense stocks are dragging, and noticeably so, and they need to reestablish that environ of blind republican death & chaos in which they are able to thrive as a family
