Did the wrong Cheney support Mitt Romney's Presidential bid?
When Liz Cheney jumped into Romney's campaign it was a sure signal from the White House that Mitt was their guy. Right Wing talk radio has been hammering John McCain relentlessly and Sean Hannity has followed the play on FOX, but lately---Mitt can't get any traction and I feel real bad about it. He's even spent a ton of his own cash on his presidential bid , but as Barack Obama said: "let me just also point out that, you know, Mitt Romney hasn't gotten a very good return on his investment during this presidential campaign" So true. So true. I got to thinking, what can help kick start Mitt's campaign?
Well, Chuck Norris endorsed Mike Huckabee and he's been hanging around and could be a factor in the South. We know Sylvester Stallone likes John McCain and he's in the lead at this point. Even Hulk Hogan endorsed Barack Obama so---what one person could have an impact on Romney's race. It's gotta be someone that Republicans know and love and fear. Someone that likes to go hunting of course...Someone who shot somebody in the...Hey, it's been right there all along...How about Dick Cheney?
What do you think? Did the wrong Cheney stand up for Mitt? Would a Dick Cheney endorsement of Mitt Romney kick start his campaign again? I've partnered up with AOL to do a Hot Seat post so take the poll below the fold:
I think all the GOP candidates have a restraining order out on Cheney.
"Would a Dick Cheney endorsement of Mitt Romney kick start his campaign again?"
Isn't Cheney totally reviled?
The only way Dick could help Mitt is if he went hunting with McCain.
cheney would be an anchor to mitts neck.... please endorse him DICK.
Endorsed by ... Sly Stallone? ... Hulk Hogan?? ... Chruck Norris??
'...shades of the Algonquin Round Table', as Hawkeye Pierce used to say ...
BTW what phrase is beyond W. T. F. ??????
Now that Edwards is out of the picture I've been torn about how I should vote on Tuesday.
Should I vote for Barack or Hillary, or cross over to the dark side and vote McCain because he scares me less than Romney does.
Romney makes me think of a slick used car salesman without a conscience,and McCain must be taking some powerful behavior modifying drugs to act the way he has the last few years.
I lean toward Barack but If my vote can help prevent Romney from getting the nomination that might be a more strategic vote.
I have the weekend to think about my choice.............oh, and Go Giants!!
Cheney FTW!
Oh please endorse Mitt! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!
earl @ 4:
That's what I wondered. When the fuck do celebrities determine the political viability of a candidate? I've heard it mentioned before: if radio and TV were invented 100 years earlier, Lincoln would've never got elected.
Cheney's approval numbers are just shy of the pro-syphillis vote.
From where I sit, there is a theme here. Those people that are endorsing those various candidates tend to be false heros. Meaning, they only play heroric characters on the big screen but in real life they are nothing of the sort. Cheney doesn't really fit that. I think Mitt should get someone like a Bruce Willis or Jean Claude Van Damme to endorse him.
The Republican rank and file dislike Romney *because* he represents the Cheney faction of the party. The multi-millionaire faction.
It's funny because they keep trying to sell him on talk radio, Fox News, through little signals from the leadership like this Lynne Cheney thing... and they don't even understand that these are the reasons Republican voters dislike Romney. They're sick of the robber baron/neocon/Wall Street first brand.
If the Conservative establishment had any sense, they'd start buying McCain now and just shut-up.
When the Hulkamaniacs team up with the Obamamaniacs, there's nothing that can stop 'em, brother! What're you gonna do when the largest arms in the world and the Colossus of Charisma run wild on you????
New fearless forecast: The Hulkster wears an Obama '08 T-shirt on the finale of American Gladiators and tells the contestants, "Yes, we can!" Obama sweeps into the White House in the biggest landslide since '84, makes Hogan his special council on physical fitness along with Crush.
I'd like to see Dick endorse McCain, actually. Two reasons:
-- It would be funny to watch heads explode at FOX, as they scramble to drop Romney and jump on McCain.
-- Having the Dick weightstone around McCain's neck only increases the chances of the GOP losing this year.
Would that make it a Dick-Mitt?
How about having the Mummy endorse Count Dracula (Romney)?
In other words, Barbara Bush could endorse him. They could share a laugh at hearing how the peasants have no milk -- "Let 'em drink blood"!
Blue Buddha @ 13:
Excellent point.
Maybe the true test of who has pull in the Repuke Party is which candidate can get Cheney to endorse his opponent.
Ahh, Liz Cheney, the deferment daughter. One can say she has years of international experience, but never more than a few in any single position or department. If this is the best Willard can do for advisors, it's not looking so good. This, coupled with the speech at George H. W. Bush's library, does make the case that Willard is the "chosen one" by the current administration. Blatant cronyism right from the get go--I guess she needed some funds coming in since Thompson dropped out.
Radically Moderate @ 5:
Filthy Harry @ 1:
I agree. Romney needs a Newt Gingrich, Alan Greenspan, James Baker, Bush Sr. or a Duncan Hunter nomination. Cheney's support would do more harm than good at this point. At any rate, vote Huckabee.
But isn't Karl Rove going to Work at FOX now ? seems like that should solve all of their Confusion on WHO to endorse....cough...cough..
Gee, Mr. Amato, I tried to follow your suggestion and think about Mitt Romney and whether some Cheney's support would..................but I got sidetracked to something much more interesting and important.
There's a raindrop starting to slide down a windowpane, and I am caught up in wondering whether or not it will reach the sash before the Flicker in my bird bath will be done freshening-up, and fly away.
Dick endorsing Mitt would be worse than a "go-f@#*-yourself" birthday card. Tell him to stay the hell away from Mitt.
I'd rather hunt with Dick Cheney then ride with Ted Kennedy
Blue Buddha @ 8:
Celebrities are bad enough ... but washed-up B-movie action figures?
Maybe Mr.T can endorse BO ... 'pity the fool!!!'..
Mon Oncle Jules @ 23:
I'd rather quote stupid bumper stickers than grow a brain. Unfortunately, it's too late for me, but I'm glad to see you made it.
uneducated liberal left wing nuts . put obama Hussein or billary in office and watch this country get flushed down the toilet VOTE ROMMNEY
anthony @ 26:
Good luck voting for "Rommney", Einstein.
It isn't the endorsements stupid, it's the media.
http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/43.html
Mon Oncle Jules @ 23:
Yawn.....is this where I should add that Laura Bush killed someone years ago?
I wish Ted Kennedy would run for president. I'd vote for him in a second.
"Today [01/27/08], Governor Mitt Romney announced that Elizabeth "Liz" Cheney will be joining the Romney for President campaign. Having most recently worked at the U.S. State Department handling Middle East policy, Cheney will serve as a senior foreign policy adviser to Governor Romney."
Lynne Cheney advising on Middle East foreign policy. Cofer Black (of Blackwater) advising on conterterrorism. "Did the wrong Cheney support Mitt Romney's Presidential bid?"
Nope. Dick "Cataline" Cheney will be more effective move deeper behind the scenes. Probably will pick the next VP from there.
Romney / (L) Cheney '08 - Because weak Presidents need strong Vice Presidents. (And you thought Bush Sr. being followed by Bush the lesser was bad...)
anthony @ 26:
The toilet has been on autoflush for the last 7 years. It's time to fix it.
I think DickHead, realizing time is short, is about to devote his support time to the 'Impeach Bush' campaign.
So that he, The Supreme DickHead, can acquire the official 'El Presidente for Forever' title, as a reward for his interminable, infinitely devious and mendacious and evilly avaricious 'behind-the-scenes' role as 'El Presidente-In-Fact'.
And who knows, they say incumbents have the edge. So if DickHead Cheney were President this summer, before the November elections.............??
anthony @ 26:
You're writing about uneducated? Good one. Now that Dad's gone to work and Mom's repolishing the floors, you've come up from your room in the basement? Perhaps you should be re-evaluating whether your dropping out of school after 5th grade was such a good idea afterall.
After 8 diasterous years of Bush, there's no where to go but up.
Why would anyone ask the question of who Cheney would support. Even more ask Bush. Who in the hell really gives one shit about their take on the up coming elections. They have both destroyed this country.
Mon Oncle Jules @ 23:
I'd rather try reading the Old Testament, in the original Hebrew, upside-down, while in the shower, than another post by this twit.
Aren't all Cheney's the 'Wrong' Cheney's?
The GOP does not have a candidate that can win, so an endorsement by either cheney or any other shooter, or maniac will impact the election like a snowflake on the bossom of the potomac. The landslide could begin if rush limbaugh would decide to run.
All you left winged people have no idea what you want. Ya go ahead vote for Hussien or that woman and you'll end up with a socialistic communism which would be just great im sure.
Lynne Cheney is his WIFE, not his DAUGHTER. Still a jerk, though.
Right @ 38:
Hey wake up and look around. If you look hard enough you might find your brain right next to where you left your other shoe.
Mr. Cheney is not reviled by true conservatives. Leave the man alone, about the hunting incident, people get killed everyday in hunting accidents. At least he did not kill anyone. He is an intelligent conservative, and I like him and his wife. McCain is the one who shows a mean streak. I do not like his personality or his liberal views. I hope Romney can come on strong and take this nomination. Laura Bush also had an accident. Happens everyday. People are so mean to bring such things up.
neil @ 9:
LOL
anthony @ 26:
"Uneducated"? Do you realize you spelled Mitt's last name incorrectly?
JOHN McCAIN is by far the best republican candidate! Mitt Romney is a discrase and a shame to the republican political party. Romney is dishonest, always flip-flopping!! That is not the kind of president AMERICA NEEDS!!
VOTE JOHN McCAIN 2008!!
Not to sound like a troll, but its obvious to me that everyone here is missing the obvious celebrity endorsement that is the obvious solution to Willard's Hollywood deficit problem:
John "Battlefield Earth" Travolta
And, he's a Scientologist, which is the secular version of Mormon.
Right @ 38:
all right, time for you to take your meds and crawl back into your hole
Harrison @ 43:
Is there a full moon on the other side of the planet right now?
Bushco had it 'fixed' for a 'Mitt/Bush(Jeb) ticket...but something went wrong....awwwww
The day I changed my vote because someone endorsed them,I would deserve what I got.

Ah, the sound of Conservative "wisdom".
Dr. Matt @ 46:

John,
I enjoyed your appearance on MSNBC last night but I'm afraid it may have helped blaze a troll-trail to your doorstep.
Blue Lensman @ 50:
bingo!
Ron Paul was endorsed by Kane :), oh and Arlo Guthrie.
Blue Lensman @ 50:
Thanks, you may be right...
It's clear that the Buschco machine is crazy mad that Maverick McCain appears to have the nomination. Their cypher wa Mittens, how else could you get the Fox Wurlizter at such a fever pitch against him. It's really quite sick.
Are there still people out there today that are concerned or even care what Dick Cheney has to say? Hasn't he said and done enough in last 7 years? As far as I am concerned he is and has always been a non-entity that, together with Carl Rove, has taken full advantage of their boss. These two men have always had first their own political canniving ambitions and second the needs of the American people.
earl @ 4:
There are so many action packed heros left! Stephen Segal, Lou Ferrigno, Tom Laughlin!
Interesting that she doesn't support Dick's cousin, Obama. She says in her book that they are cousins.
Golly....would ANY intelligent person let someone else's endorsement influence their vote. We see the young people in this country are stupid enough to be impressed by someone who delivers a speech (written by someone else) in the old time preacher style. Maybe it reminds them of the rock stars at the reality shows.
It takes a real person, with real ideas and not a bunch of change change change lyrics, to get this country back on track, and no matter who endorses which candidate we should make our own choices.
Chuck Norris. LOL
Let's not forget that Chuck Norris also endorses The Total Gym, sooo, not all that picky, is he?
I know the republican candidshits aren't worth a dime.... and Im not thrilled at what the dems are offering either. Snoopy for President in '08!!!!
Cheney is a crook and a disgrace. Mr Haliburton's endorsement is worthless. He shot his best friend,while drunk. He was supposed to shoot fowl instead he is fowl.
Cheney and Bush won't be supporting /endorsing anyone cuz we are gonna send them to the moon. Load ALL the GOP creeps in a big space ship and send them to the moon. Condi can be their cook and Dick will take out the garbage while Georgie gardens in the hydoponic dome. ~~~ Get the REPUGS off the earth so they can't hurt us anymore. Bush/Cheney are murderers. The IRAQI war is immoral.
My only hope was John Edwards. Hillary/Edwards is the right ticket.
"So true. So true. I got to thinking, what can help kick start Mitt’s campaign?"
This guy?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oYrOtdlPsc
Cheney Backs Mitt.... Asskick of death??? Or maybe a shutgun blast in the face of death.....Hmmm, I think I like it... You go goppers....Watching those two crater together would ber a real hoot.....JD
Dick Cheney has blood on his hands for this disgraceful and terribly mismanaged war. He's also the principal war profiteer in this whole Iraq debacle. He's even more crooked than his revolting "smile". His wife is just as disgusting. They are two dark and dangerous figures in American political life and the sooner they have they greedy paws off the levers of power in this country, the better off we'll all be. Actually, though...it would be logical for both of them to support Willard "Mitt" Romney, since they share the same unbridled avarice and deep-seated contempt for average, middle-American's who are simply there in their eye's, to fight their wars, meet their needs and accept the abuse that these dreadful politician's heap upon us.
anthony @ 27:
anthony @ 27:
Bush has already flushed us down the toilet.
Don't forget Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed McCain.
This country should just have a primary for the muscle bound set. I wonder who the Rock endorses?
But they a whole lot better than the ratings for the Democrat run Congress (Nancy Pelosi and Harry reed)!
Darin's law.. Pass a Fed law/mandate preventing teenagers from dropping out of high school.. If they dont attend or finsih they lose the right to drive and if no HS degree then they can't use Government assistances like Social programs;
Welfare,Healthcare,medacare etc for life.. Why do we allow kids to drop from school but can't vote.. How do we empower parents, create better healthier,smarter people? Education and excerise.. All schools should have at least 1 hr 30 mins of excerise. 3o mins doing a real work out the rest playing some sport.... This makes sense not the Government telling you, You have to buy health care and on top of that higher taxes or just using the tax money to make you buy insurance.. Souldnt the tax cover that already? Please help our kids and the future will a Law based on these facts...
CHEYNEY NEEDS PRISON!
THE TRUTH W I L L COME OUT!
I am the oldest of all these people and therefore require respect. The equal distribution of the wealth system that you all represent will drive this country the way of all civilizations that have gone before. You are the end results of a citizenry who have deteriorated into a self gratification, me first mentality. None of you deserve what I am leaving you. The some total of your opinions is based on the drivel you have been spoon fed by the media and the education system.
The disrespect you address those who ar elected represenativs of opinions other than yours speaks volumes about you up bring by my generation and the one I fathered.
In a different time I probable would have chalenged many of you to a dule'
Has anyone considered that Lynne Cheney's endorsement of Romney might actually be intended to be the "kiss of death"?
"Pleeease vote for a Democrat. I don't think Romney can win this thing. He's rich and handsome and I think a lot of Republicans are jealous.
McCain, on the other hand, is insane. I believe his obsession with war will keep him from being elected. In Washington he has a reputation of having a terrible temper, plus the Repugs think he is liberal.
I have the weekend to think about my choice.............oh, and Go Giants!!"
I'm a Democrat, but if you want McOld to win, vote for him on Tuesday as a cross-over vote in the Primary.
Liberals continue to show just how mentally ill they really are. The Democratic controlled house has never seen lower approval numbers. This tells the real story. In fact, in our 232 year history, with all the wars and the Great Depression they have NEVER been so low. Their numbers are substantially lower than our President. The Democrats are going to have a hard time keeping control with numbers like that. I'm very excited about the upcoming election. It will be great fun to see the mentally ill cry when they lose again!
Digery-Doo @ 20:
Ducan Hunter has already endorsed Huckabee, according to Huckabee's website.
re this: "...The disrespect you address those who ar elected represenativs of opinions other than yours speaks volumes about you up bring by my generation and the one I fathered.
In a different time I probable would have chalenged many of you to a dule’
==================
The guy was doing real well till he got to the end. At that time, his native tongue must have kicked in and replaced his hard-learned English. At the CURRENT time, I WILL accept his challenge to "dule." "Duleing" tacos is my choice.
Your question should read, "Who do you think Dick CHeney would endorse?", not "Whom do you think...." Whom is used only after a preposition (for whom, by whom, with whom, etc.) Maybe this just expemplifies that politicians...and bloggers...ought to be discussing important issues like a quality education for all of our children. And maybe people would vote based on intelligent research about candidates not the drivel found on the internet.
Have we all missed the obvious? What about a Britney Spears endorsement for Romney? She has great credibility with the very young and with the mentally ill. Conservatives can only solidify their hold on the mentally ill with such an endorsement, and they could make inroads among the young. It is what we call a "two-fer."
When I look at who is left fighting for the highest office in our country I get hysterial laugh attacks. This can't be for real, four people who I would not give my seat to in the bus.As the list gets shorter I fear that I will have to pick one of them... like pulling the longest straw...and it's Obama. He appears to be carrying the least amount of "I owe you" baggage, so he be my guy. This comes from a conservative who has never voted anything but Republican in her life but, can't go with the GOP this time.
Tim @ 76:
What kind of sociopath enjoys watching mentally ill people cry?
GET HELP!
I think Dick Cheney needs to go to the wizard of oz to get a good heart not just for health reasons but to quit being a CREEP! But in the meantime I would love to see who he endorses, it would put to any GOP candidate cement shoes to drown. Dick Cheney is a corrupt and worthless product of politics passed, go move in to your rocking chair, draft dodging grandpa! Now if the GOP wants to go for the CREEP factor and loose Dick is your man.
Any Repub (I prefer Repuke) that WILL LOSE -that's who I want -
VOTE HILLARY!!!!
Dick Chaney was the best and cheapest life insurance that Bush could afford. He made "W" bullet proof.
Any Repub (I prefer Repuke) who will lose - that's who I want---
VOTE HILLARY!!!
well gee whiz you liberals are still alive boy it sure will be nice when we beat your sorry ass's and send hillary and hussein back to new york and illinois you fools don't realize that mccain will get all the hispanic vote and white to beat them like the dogs they are it will be a wash and dry and you all can say he stole the election like you always do. na na na-na na na- hey hey hey goodbye.
I THINK IT WOULD MAKE MORE SINCE TOVOTE FOR WHO EVER OSAMA PICKS
Whoever Dick supports you know Dick will be in charge of the VP search,if that candidate wins the nomination. And you all know that means 4 more years.
Cheney would only support someone who shares his values and goals. Unfortunately for him, Satan has yet to declare his candidacy.
A Cheney endorsement would help mitt about as much as Pat Robertson's endorsement helped Rudy. Cheney knows this so he's using his daughter to help move another empty suit into the White House.
Well let's start by saying I would sooner vote for a Dead Person then see Hillary or Obama try in turn our country into a socialist dream
Wake up folks - all the Democrats talk is Socialist Programs - Government sponsored and run programs ... that is SOCIALISM NOT CAPITALISM
Taxes will increases, our personal dollars will be worth LESS and we will become a society dependent upon our Government!!! That is not what has made America great and strong - our People have - don't discourage personal success like Hillary and Obama plan to ......
We can not be a country of ENTITLEMENTS - and that is what these two DEMOCRATS are about.
WAKE UP!!!
Mr Romney doesn't need to be endorsed by a Dick!
By all means Cheney take Mitt hunting!!!
I watched the GOP Debate the other night on CNN - 1 hour long - 20 min. of McCain rhetoric, 20 min. of Romney rhetoric, maybe 10 minutes of Huckabee and 3 minutes devoted to Ron Paul. The top candidates didn't offer one direct answer to any question. As a registered Independent, I would vote for Paul but don't want to waste my vote. The problem with McCain & Romney is that either one is a giant step towards the Meximericanada movement that is hidden in the background right now. I wish Colin Powell were the top candidate!
P.S. I suggest at least 75% of all commenters should use the 'spell check' button.
This is the year that they'll be leaving so good riddins and I
hope they throw the handcuffs on them as soon as their
TOUR OF DUTY IS OVER.
Sorry, Mary Kay, but "whom" is correct. Whom (used as a subject here) is used not only after a preposition, but any time who is used as an object rather than a subject. In this case, 'whom' is the object of the clause 'Dick Cheney would endorse whom'. (Direct object.)
To Mary Kay,
"Whom do you think Dick..." is correct because in this case, whom is used in the objective case. You can reverse it to see that Dick is the subject. Do you think Dick Cheney would vote for him? Therefore, the user was correct in using whom. You're right about the rest, though.
And, hopefully, this country can recover from the Bush/Cheney horror. It will, however, take a very long time and sacrifice. We haven't seen the sacrifice...yet.
...regardless of how all of these comments go toward each of the candidates, (and there are many legitimate thoughts), probably the most important 'long range' issue, is ILLEGAL Immigration. Romney and Huckabee are the ONLY two candidates from either party, that are on record against AMNESTY for the ILLEGAL Aliens in our country. All of the Democrats are on record for AMNESTY. McCain is the only one who has not been straight forward with the public, on this issue! He simply does not admit that it AMNESTY. But... he stated that we should show "compassion" to 10 MILLION ILLEGAL Aliens, and give them American citizenship! Sure, he said he would secure the border, and would deport 2 million ILLEGAL "criminal" Aliens. The 10 MILLION would have to pay a fine, and meet some other relatively minor requirements. Big deal! Half of the world would do that just to get here and become a citizen!
So...if any of the Democrats or McCain get in, start taking Spanish lessons!
In spite of their evil incompetence Dick and W make a good pair: one functioning heart and one, more or less, functioning brain.
B @ 35:
Ron @ 32:
It is obvious that ol's Buckshot has endorsed Mitt, He has not shot him in the face. Yet.
Cat Atomic @ 12:
Can someone tell me why George & Dick haven't been tarred and feathered...and being paraded by angry mobs up and down the Washington Mall? I don't get it.
"pastor" Mike Huckabee have links with White Supremacists?
The Council of Conservative Citizens to be exact.
Could that be why Darth Vader has not endorsed him?
And why would the conservatives just shut up and back a liberal like McCain? He is nothing more than a Democrat running on the Republican ticket.
it won't matter which republican wins. the way I see it, it will either be President Hillary, or President Obama. I prefer the later. No republican can win after eight years of Bush Jr.
i, have no idea why the republican press hates john mc cain so much. yes he is a rogue,nobody ownes him, from what he went through in his life, i believe his time has come.rally around this man. the hell with your consertive views . give the man the shot he deserves. i wonder what you would have done if you were a prisoner of war for so many years
Marge @ 60:
If we don't stop terrorism, we won't have a country. This has to be the most important issue facing civilized society today. Next would be illegals, health care, economic issues for those people who are not extremely wealthy, etc. Terrorists cannot be reasoned with! We do not have a perfect candidate from either party; however, McCain would be strongest in keeping terrorism from this country. He needs to come out against amnesty for illegals. In this state, they get drivers' licenses, college scholarships, health care. Our tax money that we have worked so hard for is being used to help illegals, while we find it hard to make ends meet. The Clintons have a very shady background and do what is politically expedient for them. Obama sounds good but will raise taxes and will not be strong against terrorism. Of those running, McCain is best for our country.
The Cheney wing drafted Thompson--Mary Matalin, Liz Cheney, etc. I think Libby dropped his appeal because they needed to use the funds for Thompson's last-ditch South Carolina effort.
As wisedup noted, BushCo. supported Romney early on to get Jebbie on the ticket. Cheney's support for Romney with Thompson out is tacit.
I think Cheney accomplished all his goals and doesn't give a damn about what's next.
At this point...If I were a candidate, I would not want Bush or Cheney giving me an endorsement. The public opinion of many will be very glad when they are finally put to the pasture with their new titles, "Former President" and "Former Vice president"....
The Bush/Cheney Regime is in its last throes and "Dead Eye Dick" is particulary distraught because he envisions a future with no no-bid contracts, no "signing statements", no waterboarding, no preemptive strikes, etc etc. Unless...he can weasel himself, again, into the vice presidency. Mitt is his last hope.
[Deleted. Please don't use all caps in a comment. Site Monitor]
Who would want to endorse Mitt Romney? He wants to buy the Presidency!!!! What has Cheney done for the last 7 years besides line his pockets through his business connections? Let me ask the readers of these blogs a question, " Is the USA ready for a Black President"? I am an African American man and I see discrimination and racism all around me, I see Sexism too, it is a shame that these elements are in our every day lives.
Andre
An endorsement from Cheney is like an endorsement from the New York Post. I'll take a pass!
Taxes and terrorism! Taxes and terrorism! Squawk the chicken littles.
Fear is what tyrants want in the minds of the people.

Why would any one actually care what celeberities think of a candidate. This isnt a fantasy or movie who we get is who were stuck with and there party also. As far as Cheney he didnt get the nickname Darthvader for nothing the man who behind the scenes runs the white house.I wouldnt put to much thought in to any movie stars endorsement after all they have their ideas on whos right you have yours and i have mine vote your own mind and let them vote theirs. Thats why democracy rocks were free to pick and choose and make are own judgements.
anthony @ 27:
Well, your choice the last two elections -- Bush / Cheney -- have done more damage to America than anyone could've ever dreamed. We lost respect around the world, we lost our economy at home and we're going blatantly into full scale debtor status. Nothing like a third-world militarista economy where it's all for the rich elite few, and everyone else lives in poverty to pay for it. Really, anyone with an "R" next to their name will keep the cronyism, scandals and disparities rolling along!
I think, cuz of the Cheney endorsement is why Mitt is now behind. No one want's another Cheney voice in the White House.
Radically Moderate @ 6:
Endorse Romney - no way, he's just like a slick used car
salesman.
McCain - no way, he dumped his poor crippled wife of
several years for a much younger sweetie - can't trust him.
Huckabee - hasn't got a tinkers chance.
As for me, a registered republican, I will cross over and vote for a democrat.
Before we can put a real answer to WHO Dick will endorse we need to ask ourselves this...Where is Karl Rove and what did he advise him to do off the record, in the email that was subsequently deleted, right after the phone call that no one answered?
Rob Allingham @ 122:
I see the Lemming democrats are at it again!!
Please go on the other side. We really do not need you with us. Go with the rest of the losers. Did your head get hit with a meteorite? Remember, you will reap what you sow.
Marie @ 123:
No question: the only man who can help Romney now is Mr. T.
I VERY much resent VP Cheney listed with "crooks and liars" at any time!
Republican? You bet. American? To the core. Our "dark horse" will surface -- Newt Gingrich.
..who would Dick Cheney endorse? What's amazing is that anyone would even bother asking...
If you believe the left is mentally ill, then I think the far right are their schizophrenic cousins bent to fufill the Apocalypse. Because in seven years, we've had political hacking, corruption, and sheer outright incompetence in governing at the highest levels. You people put someone in the White House based on "guts" and "instinct"....LOL. How much guts does it take to defer how many times during Vietnam, Dick? How much instinct does it take to just learn how to pronounce the English language during a speech? The man perpetuated a lie to start a war in which now thousands of Americans are getting hurt and dying. Apparently, the right finds that particularly easy to forgive while they play coward to the facts. And they don't seem at all inconvenienced by the fact that this war could go on for decades. Is that really what the American people want? Decades of war? Its decision time, and not just for the poor shmuck that has to clean up after this lame duck. Americans had better figure out what it is in the global community they represent.
who cares who endorses who anyway --if u use that 2 vote u have serious problems
why does cnn and msnbc push McCain?
[Deleted. Chuck, please don't post in all caps. Site Monitor]
There should be more attention paid to Romney's mormonism.. it's an issue. I wish someone would ask Mr. Romney if he believed, as his "brothers and sisters" do, that he will become a God if he follows his churches teachings. Just how many gods and goddesses are there out there, Mr R?
Litabell @ 34:
If you vote Romney then you've proven that Bush was not the bottom of the barrel we haven't scraped it yet. Still recovering from Romney's destruction of Massachusetts. He can spin all he wants, he screwed us royally...(us I mean middle class/lower class) and as much as I hate to admit this, I voted for him because I believed the bull he was throwing. God Help Me! I have told my children if he wins, I move out of this country until he is gone and I love this country but not with him running it...
Wow.......Is the beast that is known as the Republican party, devouring itself? Try holding yourselves accountable for the last 8 years. You gave us King George. Fortunately you have lost all credibility for endorsing and/or supplying us with the next President. We don't believe you anymore. Step aside and let those of us that knew the truth in 2000 have a shot at it.
Rob Allingham - thank you, I will go to the other side and I'm
not the only one who will. We have had 8 yrs of the great republican, Bush, and we don't need any more.
I am 77 yrs old, always voted republican, but have never seen this country in the shape it is in today.
When McCain came home in 1973 and found his wife on crutches, had lost 4 inches in height and had gained weight all because of a terrible accident she was in, he just couldn't take it and started shopping for a new one. He found cute little Cindy, much younger, and dumped his wife. How can anyone support a man like that and it looks like McCain is going to be your man - No Way!!!!
Are you the same one that din't give Bush-Cheney a chanse in 04? I look forward to see our new president MT.

"Romney is dishonest, always flip-flopping"
What exactly do you mean by that comment. What has he flip-flopped on, and please be specific and factual.
Paul @ 135:
You sir are ignorant and a bigot. This is NOT the Mormon doctrine. They believe that when they die here they will return home to their Heavenly Father and continue to teach about the scriptures. They believe in only one God and that his only son is Jesus Christ.
Robert F. @ 140:
One sandal that comes to mind is "Pro-choice or Pro-life" I have lived in Massachusetts before and after the Romney years and depends on what he's running for (Senate or Governor or President) you'll get your answer.
I think the democrat slate will be either Hillary and Obama,
or Obama and Hillary. Either way will be a winner.
I support Hillary Clinton
Marie @ 143:
i'm not so sure that will happen because first, either one would be more powerful as a Senator than as the VP, and second, because, even though both would be replaced by a Democrat, they are both sure-fire returning incumbents in their next Senatorial election. Would the replacement Senators be as popular?
Joementum @ 3:
Mike Huckabee is the man I would like to see as President. I know his record for the time I lived in AR. He is a good and decent man. And he made a great Governor If he doesn't make it to President then I would be very happy to see him as Vice-President. I would rather have McCain over Romney any day. Romney is smug. He thinks his money can buy anything.
Also remember this country was built with God watching over us and taking care of us. Or should I put G-D?

Lorena, Crooks & Liars is a progressive/liberal site. you might want to spell it "Flying Spaghetti Monster". ; )
"Golly....would ANY intelligent person let someone else's endorsement influence their vote. We see the young people in this country are stupid enough to be impressed by someone who delivers a speech (written by someone else) in the old time preacher style. Maybe it reminds them of the rock stars at the reality shows.
It takes a real person, with real ideas and not a bunch of change change change lyrics, to get this country back on track, and no matter who endorses which candidate we should make our own choices."
Marge, you are absolutely correct. But you know and I know that many voters do so on name recognition only. They don't or won't take the time to investigate the candidates true agenda (if that is possible---Hillary comes to mind) I wouldn't give you two cents for anyone in the entire field of candidates, regardless of party. I've had my fill of career politicians with their hidden ambitions.
Marie @ 143:
Well, NEITHER ONE OF THEM has ever done anything, so it won't matter which is vice.
Heil Hilary!
