The base loves Cheney - deal with it.
I love it when the Republicans target a solid 20% of the vote.

His almost contemptuous disregard towards the US Constitution as well as his consolidation of power into the Executive Branch.

Cheney isn't a Conservative, he is a militant liberal Neoconservative.
1) I guess you're talking about 9-11, the war, and homeland security when you talk about debt. Sorry, but Bill Clinton's negligence and deferred maintenance towards national security was costly. You either pay the bill or take another more expensive hit down the road. Complaints about some domestic spending programs are legit. But then you have to praise Bush and Cheney for their tax cuts and support of business. And if you think the GOP ran up the deficit, you ain't seen nothing yet.

2) The torture complaint is liberal crybaby stuff. Do we want to nail the bad guys or do we not?

3) Sure, we could have let the terrorists off the hook after 9-11. That would have been the best and fastest way to guarantee another hit. It didn't happen under Bush/Cheney.

The 'neocon' label was a hate moniker cooked up by the Left. It's the same as "Far right wing" I do not recognize either term.

I think you know the base is more than half the electorate. That's why your side is kneecapping Sarah Palin even though conventional wisdom says she is yesterday's news. If you truly believed the 20% narrative, you wouldn't see Sarah as a threat and wouldn't bother with her.

No your base is about 20%.

Any Democrat with an ounce of sense would love to see the Wasilla Hillbillie run on the Republican ticket. She's our dream Republican Candidate. How about Senator Maccaca as her running mate?

More like 48% of the electorate.

2010 elections are coming up and Americans will let you know what they think about Dick Cheney.
Except Cheney is not running for office. But of course that won't stop the liberals from trying to use him in their propaganda.

Cheney is very popular with rank and file republicans/conservatives.

So in essence you love sadistic liberals with guns and poor accounting skills, how nice. Oh, and you don't have to recognize gravity either if you wish, but good luck with that. Thanks for the laugh though.

Wrong. You're afraid of Sarah. That's why you're insulting her even today. You know how popular she is among conservatives. You know that she outdrew McCain 10 to 1 at rallies last fall. And her brand of fiscal conservativism is looking better and better after watching the Manchild spending like there is no tomorrow.

Sure they are. How about some links to that incredible assertion.

You do understand that over 50% of US voters voted for Obama.
None of us see Palin as a threat, just as a hypocritical buffoon providing a lot of humor.
