You've gotta love America! Cheney backs Limbaugh?? Here we have 2 old loosers, griping that everything America stands for is being "taken away" by mirnorities like Powell and Obama. These 2 republican ditto head fools are the best thing that could happen to the US Democratic party! The more and more these 2 fools spew out their venom, the more and more Americans can wake up and understand what the Republican vision of America and the world is like for 2 old and twisted farts like Cheney and Limbaugh.

It can only be helpful for more Americans to understand what the Republican vision is. Assuming they have one. I've said many times I'm conservative more then I'm Republican. I for one was bitterly disappointed in the previous President who in point of fact despite the Republican tag, was more of a Democrat then most Democrats. Only stayed true to 2 core Republican principles, Faith, and Taxes. On everything else, he made it seem like Republicans were the same as Democrats.

Bush was 100% pure republican, bankrupt the government just like reagan and ruin the economy just like his Dad. Oh, and start two wars that have failed. Amazing now his dunderhead supporters for the last 8 years with all his failures are now turning on him.

But bush did also destroy his party and then just left it to slowly die. Now the idiot twins of limbaugh the drug addict and cheney the war criminal can fill the leadership void. Can we democrats be any more happy? This proves that God indeed is a democrat.

My scale stops at extremely ludicrous. This goes far beyond that.

The reason cheney is backing limbaugh is torture. The more that comes out; the more blood on dick's hands. dickie-boy may be starting to get a little worried, at least, if he's smart.

A former FBI interrogator just came out and said none of the information he got from abu zubaydah was gained through torture. The torture actually caused him to clam up.

Then there's more pictures at Abu Ghraib. The only people who know how serious those pictures are, are the photographers, victims, the bush league presidency and Pres. Obama's inner circle. Of the last two, the president has delayed their release and dick is doing his best to say that it was all for the best.

Obviously we'll have to wait and see, but it's plain to see that dick is doing a lot of tap dancing and for someone with a bad (or no) heart, it's really out of character.

Republicans stand for limited government, lower taxes, strong defense etc. Did Bush? The answer, on 2 out of the 3 was no. What about Dems? They want to massively expand the role of government, believing somehow that inefficient, unelected bureaucrats would be better at running their lives then they would. Now, did Bush massively expand government? The answer, hell yes. He took the core Democratic beliefs and ran with em. I can't help it if you want to deny this, but regardless it is simple truth. And the reason that so many people abandoned Republicans. When theres no difference between Reps and Dems, why not go with the ones who at least do what they claim, rather then the ones who lie and say they support limited government.

Republicans say they are for those things. Doing the opposite doesn't make them Democrats. It makes them liars.

Agreed, except of course for those who actually do stand for this. While there has to be some compromises in order for anything to get done, it should not be done by getting rid of the core principles that you stand for. Those who do this are as you say, liars. Oddly enough, my own rep in congress is one of the few I respect. Jeff Flake. Says hes against earmarks and wasteful government spending, and in all the years he has been in congress, he has never asked for one. Consistently votes against em too. He's a bit of a nut on Cuba, but a good conservative nonetheless.

Getting a bit off topic now though so back to Limbaugh and Cheney, who though I respect him for his years in public service, I don't support for the disastrous policies he supported under Bush.

Molenir: "I don't support the disastrous policies he ( Cheney ) supported under Bush"

The disastrous policies which have prevented any more terrorist attacks on U.S. soil for nearly 8 years and liberated two countries?

Prevented terorist attacks, anybody cud say that, in fact the reason there were no attacks on the US is all due to my efforts not dick & the shrub!

And for Iraq & Afghanistan....... well especially in the latter its liberation is extremely tenuous, if foreign troops left how long before Kabul falls, I bet not long. Iraq....... if foreign troops left its a long shot imo it cud last in its current form.

And how many dead & how much destruction in the interim, plenty thats what.

Bush shud have stuck to Afghanistan & done the job right but no he had to do something stupid based on lies & deceit, that wud be Iraq.

Not the policies I was referring to, though I wasn't in favor of the war either. I recognize that having become engaged, pulling out prematurely wasn't an option. No, the policies I was referring to specifically there were his economic policies. Such as the prescription drug disaster. An entitlement program that is costing a huge amount.

Cheney and Limbaugh are conservatives. Powell is a Liberal who used Republicans to advance his career. Of course Cheney supports Limbaugh over Powell. Powell isn't even a Republican as he endorsed Obama for president last year.

Wolfpack cut to the chase and got it exactly right.
