A disappointing event because it would have been the most fun race, ever:
A couple of weeks ago on Fox News Sunday, Liz Cheney set off a round of (somewhat far fetched) speculation about her father running for president when she blurted out “Cheney 2012″ in the middle of a panel discussion on national security.
Today, in an interview with Politico, the former Vice President put the kibosh any talk of a 2012 run, saying, ““Why would I want to do that? It’s been a hell of a tour. I’ve loved it. I have no aspirations for further office.”
Cheney is one of the most accomplished and intelligent men in American politics – just the thought of Cheney having a debate with his fellow GOPers (and, even better, with the lightweight Obama!) is enough to give us conservatives a thrill. But, he’s also massively hated – because the left spent 8 years lying about him and Cheney was too calm and reasonable to hit back. A loss to American politics, and a shame to our nation that we can’t find further employment for a man like Cheney.

could you imagine a Palin-Cheney ticket???…neocon1
——————————
Palin for President; Cheney for VP?
Don’t think he would go that route again, neocon, it’s the President, or nothing at all.
Cheney probably realizes that he is nowhere as popular with the folks from ‘real America’ as Palin is and, being the kind & considerate fellow he is, doesn’t want to stand in her way.

keef’s what we call a seagull poster.
he flys in, craps all over, then flaps away…
ohio,
why do waste your time at work by posting here? Does your supervisor know?
I’d say he knows Cluster, I’d say this is his job.
Cheney had retired and was asked to return to public life, and agreed to do so, to serve his country.
He has acted in accordance with the vision of the Founding Fathers, the vision of men and women coming forward in service to their nation and then returning to their professions while other public servants step forward to take their turn at serving their country.
We are so used to career politicians who appear to think the country is here to serve THEM, we don’t always recognize the model upon which the nation was based.
