President Richard Cheney? Time to Commit Ritual Seppuku!
December 7th, 2009 Posted in Richard Cheney, Campaign 2012Amazing. After all of the damage done over the last eight years, there is a draft Cheney campaign for 2012. Reports Newsmax:
Even as the former vice president dismisses such talk, a movement is building to “draft” Cheney into running for president in 2012, according to Fox News.
Christopher Barron, a political consultant and former political director for the Log Cabin Republicans, filed papers last week to launch his “Draft Cheney 2012″ group and Web site.
Republicans need Cheney because he’s the only one with the experience and conservative credentials necessary to lead the party at a critical juncture in its quest for identity and dominance, Barron said.
“We know that Dick Cheney doesn’t want to run for president,” Barron said. “This is about convincing the former vice president that we need him to run.”
Barron is attracting contributions and hundreds of followers who want to see Cheney do more with his life.
“This is one of those seminal moments in the history of our party. . . What is this party going to stand for?” Barron said. “And I think there is only one man who is capable of bringing the entire Republican coalition together and speaking with clarity about the values that have made our party great. And that is Vice President Cheney.”
What should the party stand for? Massive spending increases, violations of civil liberties, centralization of power in Washington and in the executive branch, unnecessary wars. And think of the moral leadership: Dick “I had other priorities” Cheney, the man who used five deferments to stay out of the Vietnam War, who now concocts conflicts for today’s young people to fight.
The mere thought causes me to think of committing ritual seppuku. It sure would be better than watching President Cheney sacrifice the country while “building on” President George W. Bush’s record!
