Did you listen to State of the Union (CNN Live) with John King this am.?

His interviewed Dick Cheney. It was Cheney's first TV interview since he left office. When King asked Cheney about his opinion of Rush Limbaugh, Cheney stated that he was a good friend, he loved him and he was a good man.



What do you make of this passionate assertion? Considering Cheney's current popularity, does this public support help or hurt Rush's reputation and his unofficial position as the mouthpiece of the Republican party?Did you listen to State of the Union (CNN Live) with John King this am.?
Those who hate the former Vice President will simply have another reason to hate him and Rush.

Those who agree with the principles espoused by Cheney and Limbaugh will continue to do so.

In short, no opinions will be changed and no ratings will be affected. The liberal media and administration will continue to try to paint Rush as the voice of the Republican Party. Anyone in the know understands that Limbaugh is a passionate conservative but certainly does not speak for the Republican Party. Who cares? The next national election is almost two years away. Worry about it then.
No, I was sleeping and even if I was awoke I would not have watched it. I could care less what Former Vice President Cheney has to say about anything. It does not matter what he says or thinks. Thank God he is no longer running things.Did you listen to State of the Union (CNN Live) with John King this am.?
nope, live in the UK (:Did you listen to State of the Union (CNN Live) with John King this am.?
No, I didn't see Cheney's propaganda.

However, I read that he - once again - claimed that we're 'safer' now because of the unconstitutional, illegal, immoral acts he and Bush committed while they were in office. He points out that there hasn't been a 'terrorist attack' in the U.S. since 9-11; what he fails to mention is that there hadn't been a 'terrorist attack' in the U.S. before 9-11, either.

Bush/Cheney needed a reason to invade Iraq. I am convinced that Bush/Cheney either knew about - or participated in - the 9-11 'terrorist attacks'. There are too many 'coincidences':

a) George W. Bush was 'selected' as our 43rd President so that he could 'get even' with Saddam Hussein for humiliating George. H.W. Bush during Operation Desert storm in 1991;

b) Shortly after he left office, George H.W. Bush - and several of his cabinet members - joined the Carlyle Group. Among prominent Saudi investors were a family by the name of binLaden who originally put up $2.5 million;

c) Dick Cheney received a gargantuan 'golden parachute' from an obscure little company called Halliburton before he became Vice-President of the United States;

d) Larry Silverstein, owner of the Twin Towers complex - and a close friend of the Bush family - was drowning in red ink having lost millions of dollars on his real estate investment;

e) Just months before 9-11, Silverstein hired Marvin Bush (George W's younger brother) to direct security for the complex;

f) Silverstein also updated his insurance to specifically include coverage for "acts of terrorism";

g) Suspecting iraq had 'weapons of mass destruction' gave Bush the reason to invade Iraq, and accuse Osama binLaden of being responsible for 9-11;

h) The binLaden family has a gated, guarded compound near Orlando, Florida;

i) On 9-11, Carlyle Group investors were in Washington, D.C.. While all other air traffic was grounded, Saudi investors were shuttled out of the country on government jets. Could Osama binLaden have been flown back in those jets, and taken to his Florida estate, where he has remained ever since??

j) Carlyle Group and Halliburton quickly became two of the largest government contractors to the Iraqi war effort, more often than not being awarded no-bid contracts (Halliburton is still building fourteen U.S. military bases in Iraq);

k) After emotions died down, George W. Bush publicly stated that Osama binLaden was "no longer a priority" and ordered most government agencies charged with binLaden's capture to cease and desist;

l) Saddam Hussein was executed after a mock trial;

m) The Bush administration's #1 non-military 'benchmark' insists that the new Iraqi Parliament surrender 2/3rds of its oil fields to foreign oil companies, which means that companies like Exxon-Mobil can virtually STEAL Iraq's most valuable economic resource.



Cheney's comments about the U.S. being 'safer' now is true in one respect: Bush/Cheney aren't there to antagonize the 'terrorists' any longer [by the way: if there is another 'terrorist attack' on U.S. soil, don't be surprised to discover that Bush/Cheney and their compatriots were behind it].



As for Cheney's remarks about Limbaugh: that 'passionate assertion'

neither helped or hurt either one of them. It's like two crocodiles swimming in the same mud. -RKO- 03/15/09
