Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, May 08, 2009

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said it would be a mistake for the Republican Party to become more moderate. "The idea that we ought to moderate basically means we ought to fundamentally change our philosophy," Cheney said. "Most Republicans have a pretty good idea of values, and aren’t eager to have someone come along and say, 'Well, the only way you can win is if you start to act more like a Democrat.'"

Mistake for Cheney to open his gaping maw.
Shut the fuck up, old man, nobody gives a fuck what you think.

People should stand for what they belive in rather than what they feel will win votes. The problem with the conservative movement is its inability to articulate its core beleifs. Focusing on fighting affirmative action (especially now that here is a black President), lower taxes (especially since more states and local communities are raising taxes to make up for massive shortfalls in property taxes); religious values (overwhelming majority of Americans identify themselves as Christians) and individual liberty are the values that most Americans identify with. Conservative values are America's values. From 1980-2008, the GOP controlled the White House 20 out of 28 years.

Unfortunatley, today's fail to articulate conservative values and the Democrats have a President who has a gift at reaching people and telling them what they want to hear even though he knows he can't deliver (Iraq war rages on, GITMO still open, no transparency in government, etc).

You're a flaming homo.

"From 1980-2008, the GOP controlled the White House 20 out of 28 years."

Yeah. We've all seen "conservative values" implemented.

When did 50 Years become 100 days ----- in your World?!

Republicans need to stay conservative--put out their ideas and have a person who can talk them up and mean it.

When the Dems were in exile--they didn't go to the center--they went off the left side of the table. They had no leader for years.

"Republicans need to stay conservative--put out their ideas"

Will they be New Ideas ----- or Just the Same Tired Shit we have not only heard but seen in action (dismal)!?

the living legend of the limits of "experience" opens his greedfucking mouth one more time.

at least Shrub has enough sense to shut his mouth anf go into hiding, were he belongs.

Democrats, Republicans. What's the diff? The only thing that matters now is NEW WORLD ORDER, BABY.

NEW FUCKING WORLD ORDER. IT'S HERE. IT'S IN YOUR FACE.

IT OWNS YOU.

Have a nice weekend.

funny, George W bush ran as a moderate republican.

fuck Cheney.

And Mccain ran as a moderate Republican

where were all these calls for the hardliner candidate when there was a presidential race going on? now you have repubs courtin Ron Paul for gods sake. Its all good now that the election is over and we can say what we really think right?
what a bunch of bullshit.

Oh yes! Calling Pat Buchanan! :P I agree, the Repubs need a politician who really, deeply, honestly believes that america is NOT a secular society based on tolerance of different religions and values, and also hates all foreigners (esp. brown ones) and gays and would leave their own mother in a fourth-rate nursing home instead of paying slightly higher taxes! Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Cheney argues that moderating their positions in order to achieve a more viable consensus position would weaken the GOP?

O Rly?

More than shifting to the hard right and adopting extremist neo-fascist tactics has weakened them already?

Spud finds that hard to believe.

Problem with the right these days is that most people see how their opposition to increased religious extremism abroad is totally undercut by their continued insistance on increased fundamentalism at home.

People are weary of continual wedge issue politics and simply want to see some degree of progress and change that improves people's situations or at the very least stops the slide into neo-fuedalism.

Democrats, Republicans. What's the diff? The only thing that matters now is NEW WORLD ORDER, BABY

Are both parties massively overly influenced by global elites and transnational corporations?

Yes.

That sed, the equivilancy argument flew out the window along with the Constitution, Habeus Corpus and the Geneva Convention under BushCo's reign of errors.

Globalism is a reality we all must deal with.

The so-called forces of anti-globalism are not arguing with the reality of it happening but merely looking for a greater say in how it happens.

Folk like Spud would like to see a lot more tranparency, accountability and a lot less greed and secrecy there.

Be Well.

Republicans need to stay conservative--

Republicans need to start being conservative before they can stay that way.

"Republicans need to stay conservative--put out their ideas"

Didn't we just have an election where we did JUST THAT-"Put ouy their ideas"-from Office-because they didn't work?

Cheney = "The gift that keeps on giving"

Keep on flapping that beak, Darth Looney, and 2010 will result in more GOP losses in Congress. Darth Looney prays to Satan for another 9/11 and more dead Americans, so he can say "told you so".

#15, that's an excellent post. congrats.

You're full of shit...
The problem with the conservative movement is.... years back they began to cater to the far right nut jobs and christians... like they were really some kind of a moral savior for our country or something..

Looks like you drank their koolaide

Dick Cheney, The Voice of the Republican Party, that will assure Democratic victories for a while. Listen hear you Fucking Idiots on the Right, If this Country wanted Right Wing Conservatives so much why the fuck do you think that only one CONSERVATIVE has been elected President in the last 75 Years?????? Only that Racist Fuck Ronald Reagan was elected from the Far Right, America is not ready to make that mistake again.......GO DICK GO, YOU ASSHOLE....

Every whacko fringe group thinks that if they can only educate people about their message, then people will just flock to them.

Is there a person out there that doesn't know what these fanatic groups stand for? No. And yet, they are turning away.

Cheney has reached that critical stage of his megalomania where he actually believes his own lies.

GO DICK GO, YOU ASSHOLE....

Why am I thinking this is on the Celery family crest?

The only answer is for "moderate" (?) Republicans and "conservative" Republicans to form two parties. That might assure us just a little bit of progressive legislation some day. herm

Didn't we just have an election where we did JUST THAT-"Put ouy their ideas"-from Office-because they didn't work?

#17 | Posted by frankf55 at 2009


well actually no

obama won because he wasnt bush and he's black.
and the economic cycle of a recession happening as it did.......sure made worse with bush spending like a dem...but its still a cycle........

and then there is that pesky little truth about being hit on 9/11 and NOT AGAIN thanks to mister bush........ah but thats just a little fact that merely gets in the way of the democrat lie machine and the white house enemies list.

funny stuff
Funny with a capital F...

The fact that so many of you Dems want the Rep Party to be more moderate says it all. If the 'enemy' wants it then you do not want it!

So if "Danger Dick's" ticker hasn't taken a shit by 2012, run him for prez. with SARAH!

Independents don't want the current GOP either.

21% must mean 100% in Rushspeak. Bush's approval, self ID's Republicans. Nice!

Hey BLT? If you're "eating it" and it tastes like the aforementioned "poo" ( I'm on two dumps), then maybe you should stop eating.

Saw a bumper sticker last year that made me chuckle:

No.

You're an old man.

Figure it out.

I must have not been paying any attention. But am I understanding correctly that now the RightWing is using Ms. California as talking point for the First Amendment? LOL. To the best of my knowledge nobody has tried to silence her. We have just criticized her and laughed at her when she has made an idiot of herself.

Well said. By making an 'idiot of herself' you mean she expressed an opinion that you don't agree with. I guess the people of Claif don't agree with her either in light of the vote on that issue a while back.

Please explain what she said that was 'idiot'.

She has enhanced "Boobies" ( I'm on 2 dumps ) Sniper.

By the way, Rogers.

Two dumps for those two posts?

When Cheney dies, I hope he has made provisions in his will for the erection of a piss protection wall around his grave site....because it will definitely need one.

When Cheney's body goes on to achieve the same state his soul is already at, he will, no doubt, be buried inside a man-sized safe at an undisclosed location that is impossible to find using google earth.

Call it a hunch.

Be Well.

Everyone is entitled to express an opinion except miss Calif.

No, dipwad. Miss Californication is allowed to express her opinion freely and then other folks are allowed to express wot a ditzy, regressive bint she is.

That's how free speech werks.

Learn that.

Be Well.

Everybody give the Dick a hand!!
No really...the "Wrongest Man in America"
speaks yet again...

take a bow, you two bit Mafioso wannabe!
lol. Right down to the Black Trench coat
and the Fedora...

#43 | Posted by jerrytarkanian

And that makes her an idiot in your eyes? WOW!!!

I really hope you don't die quickly Cheney...I hope its a long painful,extremely agonizing Death for you (and your wife) ...you Fucking Slimy Piece of Shit!!!!

I hope Cheney sticks around long enough to attend his daughter's legal wedding.

There is one person who can articulate the conservative platform very well, and that person is Newt Gingrich. I hope he decides to run in 2012.

Yep. That's just what the GOP needs in 2012 - another 70 year old dude to give them a fresh new look.
