rewrite laws on torture now he's trying to rewrite what an American is.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney defended the tea party's assault on Obamacare on Monday, calling it a "normal, healthy reaction" to President Barack Obama, whom Cheney referred to as the "most radical operator in Washington."
In an interview on NBC's "Today" show, Cheney said the tea party has been a positive influence on politics."They raised issues Americans care about," Cheney said. "We have terrible track records with respect to federal spending. Nobody seems to be able to solve the problem. It's an uprising, in part, and it's taken place within the Republican Party. I don't see it as a negative. It's better to have that turmoil and change in the Republican Party than it would be to have it outside."He also defended Sen. Ted Cruz's actions during the government shutdown. "He represents the thinking of a lot of people in Texas," Cheney said.
T-P normal reaction to close gov't, put 800,000 on furlough with no pay, threaten to default on debt they signed off on, and Press. is the most radical operator in Washington??????
who let the old dawg out? and the few that cheer him on are not Americans they are AINO's like him and his daughter. somebody needs to put one of those muzzles on him he's annoying.
Cheney, though, stopped short of calling himself a member of the tea party."I'm not a card carrying member," he said. "I don't think there is a card, but I have respect for what the people are doing. These are Americans. They're loyal, they're patriotic and taxpayers and fed up with what is happening in Washington. It's a normal, healthy reaction and the fact that the party is having to adjust to it is positive."The former vice president, who saw his influence within the George W. Bush administration wane, did not dispute the notion that by the end of the second term, Bush rejected his worldview."I was an independent thinker," Cheney said. "We had differences. He promised when he made me part of his administration I'd have the opportunity to present my views and I did. I was more influential in the first term.
he agrees but he's not one of them, he's right he was an independent thinker all by himself he put us were we are with wars and tax credits and big pharma would w be having this discourse and he not done what he seems to be proud of thinks he should be, got torture?
