Cheney on Palin -- It's All Good
September 08, 2008 11:02 AM
Wonder what Vice President Dick Cheney is thinking about the woman running for his spot? Today in Rome, Cheney said he "loved" Sarah Palin's speech at the convention and that there is nothing holding her back from doing the job.
ROME (AP) - According to one man who would know, there is nothing stopping Sarah Palin from doing a great job as a vice president. Vice President Dick Cheney told reporters in Rome on Monday that he "loved" Palin's speech to the Republican National Convention. He laughed when he recounted her line about the difference between hockey moms and pit bulls being a coat of lipstick.
"I thought her appearance at the convention was superb," Cheney said. Asked whether he thought Palin could handle the job with her background as Alaska governor, he added, "There's no reason why
Sarah Palin can't be a successful vice president in a McCain administration."

Here's a reason why she won't make a good VP: (AP) Gov. Sarah Palin's church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer. "You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality," according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six years.
WHAT GARBAGE!!

An endorsement by Cheney...that's certainly one darn good reason to vote Obama/Biden!

You know if Cheney endorses you that you are in the pocket of Bush/Cheney.
This is not an endorsement I would want as a republican nominee. Hard to say you are selling "CHANGE"

What honestly scares me is that this woman thinks attacking Iraq was part of "God's plan". She said this in a speech to her church. I thought starting wars on the behalf of God was limited to radical Islamic terrorists? What if Ms. Palin suddenly comes to the realization that nuclear war is part of "God's plan"? This nut job cannot be allowed anywhere near the red button.

Who's Cheney and why should we care about his opinion?
Posted by: Paula | Sep 8, 2008 11:39:20 AM
If Cheney endorses, then people should say "Hell No". This guy is evil.

Poor Cheney, during the convention they have sent him to visit Vladimir Puttin's neighbours so they forget him completely and totally. But do not worry, they can run they will not be able to hide, they are your soul mates and from the same old party which failed miserably. No WBush, No McCain, No Palin, No Cheney. God save America from McPalin.

Great Cheney in a Skirt (and Lipstick). Well this should seal the deal. McCain is gonna be Bush. Palin is gonna be Cheney (better looking though) just another reason why Obama is going to win. Yes I know McCain got a bounce but I kind of think Obama's bounce was blown away by a hurricane named Hannah. Plus he realease of Palin as VP was brillient timing.

Peace,
"Why didnt Cheney show up at the Convention and make his endorsement there!"
Fear of being pummelled with rotten tomatoes maybe?

Did not realize Cheney was in Russia last week. Must be why the Cold war appears to be getting a bit warmer. But hey Alaska is close to Russia so Palin ought to have an advantage.
