Cheney Backs Rubio: He’ll Block Obama From “Restructuring Foundation Of Our Freedoms”

Not a huge shock, but Marco Rubio is getting the ultimate in conservative endorsements today: Dick Cheney, who threw his support to Rubio this morning. From Cheney’s statement:

“Our country is at a crossroads facing threats from abroad and attempts from within to restructure the very foundation of our freedoms. America requires leaders to face down these challenges who are confident in who they are and what they stand for. Leaders who know that public service is about something bigger than climbing the political ladder and amassing greater political power…

“We can trust Marco to stand up to the Obama agenda that threatens our freedom, and promote clear conservative alternatives…Charlie Crist has shown time and again that he cannot be trusted in Washington to take on the Obama agenda because on issue after issue he actually supports that agenda. Lately it seems Charlie Crist cannot be trusted even to remain a Republican. I strongly urge him to either stay in the Republican Primary or drop out of the race.”

It’s another sign that the Republican establishment is coalescing behind Rubio.

Also of note: Cheney claims that our country is facing “attempts from within to restructure the very foundation of our freedoms.” That echoes the emerging conservative line: That Obama is radically transforming America into something that is fundamentally un-American.

1. Marco "I've Got Nothing to Hide" Rubio.

The Big Dick has your back.

:rofl:

[Clio the Leo]

2. I'm about to back Crist just out of sympathy....

.... "so IF Kendrick Meek is unable to run and there are NO OTHER Democrats willing to run, I think Charlie Crist would do a somewhat adequate job, at least better than that Rubio dude." Clio the Leo - 4/22

[Jennicut]

6. If Meek doesn't win, I hope Crist wins. Save us from total insanity and save Florida!

[Clio the Leo]

12. I'm hoping Rubio is out by then....

... and heck, Crist too ... hoping these Fed probes reveal something.

[Botany]

3. Cheney please bet on Rubio

Rubio is among the Florida GOP leaders whose credit card spending is under review by the IRS, but like Crist, he has denied wrongdoing.
On Wednesday, he sent a $2,417.80 check to the state party as reimbursement for six flights that he said were inadvertently double-billed
to the party and to state taxpayers.

4. That's such a ringing endorsement

I really hope Crist runs as an Independent, Rubio does not belong in the Senate.

[monmouth]

5. Is Darth still on the "bcc" list from the Pentagon? How does he know

"the country is facing attempts from within" etc.?

[Arkana]

7. Dicko the Sicko came out of his undisclosed location?

Was he followed by several penguins?

[graywarrior]

8. Ahh, the Order & Freedom part of our government cannot stand the Equality part of it.

[Bitwit1234]

9. Hey hey -- this endorsement from

cheney they guy who OK'd wire tapping, sneak peeking at emails. and all the other crap authorized by the bush administration...and he says the Obama administration is going to take away creepoids freedoms....I feel so bad after chemo but this gives me a little lift for the rest of the day. I didn't know that creepoid would have the nerve to say such trash.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. What does he mean (not that I expect it to make good logical sense)

I don't find things getting worse, less "free", or like this country is becoming fundamentally different/worse and to the extent that it has in some aspects (i.e. torture, demands for military commission trials instead of federal civilian trials for suspected terrorists, Gitmo, etc.) it is more because of what Bush/Cheney put into place/institutionalized during their 8 years in office and not President Obama's fault, although I'm sure that things like those are NOT what Cheney is referring to.

[BeyondGeography]

11. Their opposition is becoming so abstract as to be unintelligible

And what needs to be restructured is their irrelevant and failed ideology. That's the real political story of the day, not that the media will catch on.

[zulchzulu]

13. WTF does "restructure the very foundation of our freedoms" mean?

And when you taking a goddamn dirt nap, you treasonous slimebag?

[Blue Owl]

14. So the Bu$h administration's Patriot Act didn't restructure our "freedoms?"

Dick Cheney, go fuck yourself.

[yellowcanine]

15. Dick Cheney did more to destroy the "foundation of our freedoms" than any one individual in recent

history.

[burning rain]

16. This is probably more about Cheney trying to look relevant, than him trying to help Rubio.

For him to endorse Rubio when he's long since established himself as a strong front-runner, is little more than jumping on the bandwagon. Where else has Cheney been in this endorsement season? With the incumbent governor of Texas, Rick Perry, who largely bores the most conservative faction; and the GOP establishment candidate in Kentucky's US Senate race, Trey Grayson. Since Rubio's already a prohibitive favorite, may as well endorse him, too, and try to gain some easy cred with insurgent conservatives thereby.

17. Cheney is nothing but a hypocrite and he knows it.

During his tyrannical rule (and yes, I mean it) in the White House, he did a lot of damage to this country. Unfortunately, he has no remorse about it.

All this represents is a last, fleeting grab at power which this man doesn't have anymore. The pitiful thing about this is that Cheney still runs on delusions of grandeur.

Instead of putting a sock in his pie hole, Cheney's continual pronouncements (along with Rush's daily assault on the ears of America) makes the cross this country has to bear a little heavier.

His ugly demeanor is a present reminder of how bad things were during the Dark Ages of the Bush regime and nothing else.

If only the World Court could do its business and help the U.S. out of its misery by putting this ingrate and his cohorts on trial.
