Jack & Jill Politics

here's the thing though. The GOP knows that if Powell did leave the Repub party, that would be worse than Spector leaving. So keep talking Cheney & Rush, I believe Powell's wife is “Dem-leaning” already. I think the reason why Powell continues to stay in the GOP, is because he is a loyal soldier.

Anyway, as for Cheney, lib may have problems with Powell vis a vis Iraq War & etc, Gen Powell's service and achievement is exemplary (someone posted this over at Huff Post):

Mr. Cheney, you should have chosen the guy who has devoted his life to public service, not the self absorbed guy with the microphone.

Why wouldn't Cheney have a love for Limballs.They are both cowards because when it was their time to served their country one had other priorities the other a bump on his ass.So they are 2 peas in a pod,chicken shit chickhawks who are parasites.

I think it was Ron Suskind who talked about Cheney bunkering down on 9/11, Bush flying all over the fucking country, and the “real fear” they had that this country would be attacked again. The implication wasn't that they were trying to figure out to protect the country, stop anything from happening further, but protecting their own asses.

I have NO respect for Cheney because he's a fucking coward, hides behind this 'tough guy' image which is NOT about being strong or tough. It's simply about being afraid – a coward.

I like icebergslim's characterization of “verbal viagra.” Ain't that the truth!?

His is just scary beyond belief, so much rage and hate, and, to think, he was second in line to be POTUS had something happened to that dimwit Bush.

But, he is appealing the party base, the right wingers who are so ticked off that a clutch the pearls a black man is in office and they need to see someone as crass and uncouth as Dickey to spew what they want to say and can't in public, so, evil Dick, and, Rushie can do it for them to the delight of Independents and democrats and the few Republicans that have a clue.

Yep, that's it, right there!

Please Oh Please Oh Please let Jabba the Rush attack Wanda Sykes tomorrow…Pleeeeease…

I firmly believe Dick Cheney has the DNA of a jackal and he's really not human – he has taken over a human body.

ok, so Colin Powell , a war herois not a Republican, but a 2-ton chicken-hawk beached whale in a sound booth is a real Republican? Ok, I would go off on here but I am going to leave it for my blog, the Barber Shop Report, http://barbarshopreport.blogspot.com/ Check me out

Colin Powell, as Secretary of State, was 4th in line to the Presidency. He has been an extraordinary American for many decades. For a former Vice-President to talk that way about Colin Powell is a disgrace to the office of Vice President.
