Another liberal misinterpretation of what Rush Limbaugh said, clearly and distinctly. Obviously, liberals hear what they want to hear and no one is going to tell any differently.

I'll take Cheney over Colin Powell any day. So he thought Saddam had WMD; the whole world thought Saddam had WMD. Colin Powell thought Saddam had WMD. I'll bet Rosemary thought, at one time, that Saddam had WMD. Could it be that people thought Saddam had WMD because Saddam had used WMD on his own people? Could it possibly be? It's kind of hard to use WMD on someone if you don't have WMD, isn't it, Rosemary. He had plenty of time to get them out of the country, anyway.

And Sarah Palin is a joke because she doesn't have the experience for national office? Let me remind you, Rosemary, that we currently have a joke in the White House, one whose resume' would fit nicely on a postage stamp. One who has zero executive experience, who must rely on on-the-job-training, and it shows.

The Republican party needs to rid its ranks of those like Powell, who is a liberal. Strong conservative values are the only hope for the Republicans. Instead, they try to outspend the Democrats. Just look at where the country is today as a result of that policy.

What a ridiculous column. Unfortunately it is what we have come to expect from the mediocre Rosemary Roberts. HELLO,,,,,Cheney has been out of office since January. Mean while sillier folks than even little Rosemary are now in charge of the Government. Witness the feckless Nancy Pelosi lying out of both sides of her incompetent face accusing the CIA of lying to congress. you would think that an intrepid opinion writer from the fourth estate would take an interest.
Alas, we here in the Triad don't have that. all we have is the second rate hacks like Rosemary to regurgitate the hate of the Bush years back to us until we all eventually cancel our subscriptions to the print medium out of abject boredom.

Write on, Rosemary! But this is not just an issue of political strategy and messaging. The less than 13 percent of Americans who approve of the Dick are paranoid and tend to be uneducated, often white supremacist, armed-to-the-teeth and extremely mean. Like Dick, their minds are twisted by hate and fear . They also are very frustrated and angry now because they are out of power. They tend to be the narcissistic "authoritarian personalities" who John Dean (a Republican) describes in "Conservatives Without Conscience." It is tempting to laugh at Dick and his followers, as many people do, but that's a mistake.

They are like that guy who went on a rampage and killed four cops recently, because he believed professional liers like Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh and other corporate water carriers who keep bellowing, "Obama is going to take your guns away!!" They are the banks' and corporations' useful idiots, easily whipped into a frenzy by the media (like the right wingers of Rawanda) and they would love to use their guns -- as long as Rush or Dick or O'Reilly tell them it's a 'noble revolution.' Fortunately, they are in a shrinking minority -- but they are still dangerous to America because they are willing to steal elections and use violence and even torture and murder to gain power. For these reasons, reasonable people who love America need to take Dick and his crackpot followers very seriously and keep them in check.

It is so strange how supposedly smart people go out of their way to dismiss Palin as simply a Conservative. The point is, she is a Constitutionalist, which means she believes that each state has the right to legislate issues not specified in the Constitution. Okay, as pro-choice, I don't like the idea of going back to state-by-state legislation of abortion, but if we don't it opens the door to an invasive Federal government also ruling on gay marriage (or anything else)--which, under Obama, would make it illegal across the country.

Do people get this? That Sarah Palin governs under the rule of law? That for gays their only hope remains with politicians like her, where they can be assured there is SOMEWHERE in America they can be married? It's a strange idea, I know, to those who mix religion and government, that the personal beliefs of any American cannot supercede the U.S. Constitution. For Pete's sake, wake up people, the Chicago Machine is wiping out the rights of any working class person who does not belong to a union or work for the government. Which is to say MOST AMERICANS--who are supposed to be the core of the DNC in the first place!!! As for the GOP, we know for the last eight years the organized crime that went through the defense department (no bid contracts), so this is reason to give the DNC a pass for the 148,000,000,000 no-bid contract to GE (parent company of NBC and MSNBC) to do the paperwork on universal healthcare?

We can only hope Sarah Palin can get the prep she needs through SarahPac--as opposed to the traditional funding by organized crime through the GOP and DNC--to re-emerge on the national scene to represent the Constitution. She is the only one who has demonstrated the ability to amass the tidal wave of support needed to wipe out the Machines in Washington.

The fact that both Cheney and Limbaugh have very low approval ratings (13% and 19% respectively) should tell people who like to consider themselves Republicans that they may need to look elsewhere for leadership. And please, don't throw Palin's name out there either, nothing she has ever said or done in the past year is consistant with an I. Q. over 85 (it would be very interesting to have her tested).

While some Dems might be rejoicing, I am very concerned. The only thing that keeps a Political Party honest is a viable alternative. If the Republcan Party insists on following the leads of criminals, blowhards, and borderline morons, they will be relegated to irrelevancy. There ARE good, conservative voices out there, such as Colin Powell, and Rand Paul, who I saw on television last night. I may not agree with them on every crucial issue, but at least they are honest, and their positions are rooted in logic and out of a sense of what they feel is best for the country.

I don't care if the Democrats don't win every election- I am much more interested in getting good government. If the Republican Party continues on the Limbuagh-Cheney path, the whole of America will suffer.

Ms. Roberts has managed to produce another factless editorial. I don't know how she does it.
1. "He adamantly insisted that Sadam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction(he didn't)."
Fact: President Bush and Cheney acted on intelligence they were given.
2. "Rush , you'll recall, famously said, that he hoped president Obama will fail."
Fact: No he didn't. He said he hopes that this adminstrations' POLICIES will fail as they relate to turning our country into a Socialist nation.
Come to think of it, I would have to copy about this whole thing as incorrect information, but I'm sure we all get it.
The funniest reference to me though is where Ms. Roberts says "Nowadays Mrs. Palin is often not at home. She has flown off to make speeches elsewhere in the country." How the hell would Ms. Roberts know how often Sarah Palin is at home ? It's not like they are buddies.

This op-ed is so carbon copy of the left whining because they got exactly what they asked for and it just isn't working out for them. It is boring me.

Are all your beliefs defined by a political party? Mine aren’t, and I'm sure Cheney's aren't either. Conservatism is no longer defined by the GOP. What’s more important - the “unity” of a political party that is “defined” by mountains of conflicted ideology, or the protection of the citizens of the United States of America? I go for the latter. With that in mind, I say, “You go, Dick Cheney!” And what I’ll say to those on the left, whose unbearably shrill shrieking may change one day from the usual protest of others’ beliefs and feelings to (God forbid) actual terror as they run away from the latest hit, “don’t forget to place the blame where it belongs!”

I’m still waiting for the childish cries from the left about how they feel President Obama has personally murdered children in Afghanistan, as they surely would have screeched about Bush. How I detest selective, pathetic whimpering!

In the future, as the world is separated from these events further by time, those judging Dick Cheney will not be swayed by a press who can paint a man evil with ink and a lack of their own integrity. I’ll personally be in a place where the events of this world have no value, so it won’t be important for me to know. And for that, I resent having lived in an age where “journalists”, “newsmen” and “newswomen” were driven by an agenda and reported from their own ideological spin, but not from the TRUTH. Besides, you "fringe leftist blog talking point memorization units" should be grateful to Dick Cheney for taking whatever amount of attention he has stolen from the pathetic lying bruise on the "integrity" of the Democrat party that is third in the line of succession to the presidency - Pelosio...er...I mean Pelosi.

Who cares what Dick Cheney thinks. After these last eight disastrous years, leaving our economy in the tank, our country’s reputation worldwide in the toilet, more graft and corruption then even the Reagan administration, does anyone really care what this man’s opinion is? Cheney belongs in a jail cell for the damage he has done to our country. He does not deserve the pulpit the media is giving him to continue to influence that portion of our country which still refuses to think for themselves.
