No Kiddin’

In the wake of skyrocketing GOP disapproval ratings and conservatives leaving the Republican Party, Vice President Dick Cheney let’s out the “No duh” quote of the day:

MILWAUKEE — Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that Democratic leaders aren't doing enough to fight terrorism and said Americans must "reject any strategy of resignation and defeatism in the face of determined enemies."

Cheney, speaking at a party fundraiser, said Republicans must keep national security on the minds of voters heading into the November midterm election.

Cheney used his 20-minute address to defend the Bush administration's war on terrorism and point fingers at Democrats.

Finger pointing, eh? Do I sense the almighty ultraconservative Fox News becoming critical of the GOP? Considering Bush’s approval ratings, I’m not surprised. That, and saying that Democratic leaders aren’t doing enough to fight the war on terror is like saying the sky is blue. It’s pretty obvious.

We have to stay on the offensive until the danger to civilization is removed," Cheney told about 110 people at the Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee.

Cheney attacked Democrats for turning their backs on Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., after his loss in the primary to anti-war candidate Ned Lamont.

He took Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean to task for saying the capture of Saddam Hussein has not made America safer and accused Dean and Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., of advocating what Cheney called a failed policy of retreat in the war against terrorism.


Honestly, as a Bush supporter, I have to say that I have been critical of this administration. I don’t want to sound too critical though. Bush and the GOP have disappointed me and many other right-wing folks on some of his policies and appeared incompetent on certain levels, but if the Democrats win, that’s even scarier. We may or may not win the war on terror with GOP administrations such as the current one, but any Democratic GOP at this point will be a surefire loss.
