New York Sun: Cheney ‘Sees An Opening’ And Wants To Run For President

cheneyIn April, the New York Sun published an editorial entitled “Cheney’s Chance,” encouraging the Vice President to jump into the presidential race. The Sun argued that having a “defender on the campaign trail” would boost Bush’s approval ratings.

In a review of Stephen Hayes’ new biography of Cheney, Ira Stoll — the editor of the Sun — recycles his plea. Stoll writes that he believes the Hayes book is part of an effort by Cheney to drum up support for a potential campaign run:

The book quotes Senator McCain as saying, “Dick doesn’t like campaigning.” Nothing in the Hayes book suggests that Mr. Cheney is about to do it — except for that the vice president spent nearly 30 hours cooperating with the author and apparently gave the okay for many of his friends and colleagues to grant similar access. The Richard Cheney described in this book isn’t vain enough to do that simply for his reputation in history. My own guess — okay, hope — is that Mr. Cheney has taken a look at the Republican presidential field and sees an opening. If Iowa and New Hampshire Republicans start receiving copies of “Cheney” in their mailboxes, Mr. Cheney’s popularity may yet begin to climb.

Stoll acknowledges that his previous editorial calling for Cheney to run was “was widely mocked.” Apparently, once wasn’t enough.

Digg It!

    I’d love to see the Dick, Cheney, on the campaign trail. I’d even pay money for it just to see the rotten fruit being thrown in his face.


  3. Namtillaku says:

    Dick doesn’t need to be president in order to do that job now, does he? Why put up with the limelight when you can have it all in secret?

    Understandable why the Dickster has to run, he can ill afford to lose control of all the secrets he’s got in his underground lair. Once reality sinks in that he has 0 chance of becoming #44, he’s going to have to start seriously running…….looking for new digs in a country without extradition treaties with the US.

  17. Retrogrouch says:

    Oh yes, please run. And win the endorsement. Anyone who backs him won’t sniff a seat for at least 4 terms. Do it. As always, Mr. P, you only hurt your cause with this moronic trumpeting. There is no viable R candidate at the moment, and Cheney only further marginalizes an already untenable and corrupt platform.

    The left is in full desperation mode. First New Republic is exposed for a phoney story bashing our troops who the left says they support. The surge is succeeding beyond all expectations…so what do the moonbats do?

    Hey frank, you have a link for that Republic thingie you were talking about? I had no idea and want to know more. Thanks man.

    And youre right about this little article, the dems have yet another tidbit to rile up the already riled kook base. Its nothing yet there are libs from here to Denmark swooning at the thought.

    We need to stay hush-hush on Thompson though, because the MSM might run another hard-hitting op-ed about his trophy wife (cue the scary music).


  34. Chris Wolf says:

    Ha ha. The only reason Thompson has relatively high numbers is because he hasn’t opened his mouth yet. By all accounts, the man is lazy and none too bright.

    First, cite the poll source please.

    Second, you do realize the date, even the dems are tired of campaigning.

    Third, the softballs the dems are being handed in the debates will change when there are dems AND repubs in the same room; easy for all or hard for all and then there will be some uncomfortable dems.

    Fourth, your own caucus had Kerry almost last when Iowa came around, then he vaulted up to the lead. Points mean nothing this early in the game.

    Dear Trolls:

    You have no candidate.

    Mitt Romney? Mormon. Won ‘t play with southern Christians who believe that they have a monopoly on faith. Once the media (if they choose to) get a hold of the tenets of Mormonism, he’s toast. Hopefully he’s got surplus canning supplies from his wedding to sustain himself when he retreats to his bunker.

    McCain? Marginalizes himself daily. Once a man of integrity, showed his true colors in turtling to attacks by the corporate Bush machine during the Republican primary.

    Giuliani? Won’t appeal to the base. Far too moderate for the crazies. And no, he doesn’t scare us. He can’t win, and if he does, give me a NY R over a series of tubes/I-don’t-come-from-no-monkey regressed quasi-conservative any day.

    Thompson? An actor with no charm? Who’s his VP? Costner?

    Cheney? Give Rush his pills back.

    You lost already and it hasn’t even started. Your only chance is to distance yourself from B/C (how fitting). In doing so, your platform is gone.

    You do realize Thompson was also a senator, do you not? He is going to energize the base and get us back on track and away from the shatheads like McCain.

    Anyway, it still doesnt matter. Hillary will be your nominee and will immediately drive away the moderates with her shrillness and creepy talk of “taking” things from corporations. The remaining dems who havent followed the kooks over the edge of insanity arent exactly enamored with her either.

    Meanwhile, Hillary’s war support will erode the kook base and she will get demolished in the debates over her flip-flopping.

    Bush’s foreign policy is predicated on where the Middle East’s dwindling oil supply is located and whether or not an oil-rich country is a threat to Israel. Only a complete dunce would bother to disagree with that. Read this -

    “They [the Bush cabal] have been conspiring, working, maneuvering and lying since at least 1989 during the George H W Bush Administration. While things were heating up around Iraq, Kuwait theft of Iraq oil, and leading up to Desert Shield, then Desert Storm, the GHWB Administration implemented another “shield” in the form of Operation Steppe Shield. It was targeted at Kazakhstan and was named for the vast oil and gas reserves in the Kazakh Steppe region of Kazakhstan….That is where Dick Cheney got himself appointed to the Kazakhstan Oil Advisory Board and later…the book titled The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives by Zbigniew Brzezinski came out in 1997…when the 20 Year War Plan was [first] conceived and targeted…the Caspian Basin, and the CIA renditions started.”

    The co-conspirators never expected to find themselves in this position.

    WMD were going to be planted in Iraq, but Plame’s Brewster Jennings uncovered the plan, and their essential justification for the invasion of Iraq was lost.

    They never shifted to a strategy that included VICTORY in Iraq. They had always intended to instigate the Civil War – but their original plan always relied on the justification of WMD.

    Now they are stuck – implementing a plan that did not account for the absence of a justified pretext for the war.

    Now their backs are to the wall, and they need to bomb Iran soon in order to create yet another distraction.

    They are now desperate for a Pretext – the result of which will surely include investigations, arrests, and hanging for treason – if not war crimes trials at the Hague.

    WILD CORNERED ANIMALS will do ANYTHING to protect their own skins.

    Cheney is plotting a False Flag Terror Attack on US Soil to justify the declaration of Martial Law and the bombing of Iran.

    Hysterical. The Republics have taken absolutely no responsibility for screwing up the war on terra, screwing up the occupation of Iraq, screwing up Katrina, turning a huge surplus into an equally huge deficit, and . . . well the list just goes on and on. And they’ve NEVER taken any responsibility for their colossal clusterf&ck.

    US Troops in Iraq = Fish

    “Green Zone” = Barrel

    Arrest Dick Cheney right now to prevent the slaughter of the US Military.

    Cheney is busily preparing the next False Flag Attack against the United States (using Jumbo Jets as missiles, flown into nuclear reactor containment vessels at power plants in 3 different US cities) and has ALREADY TOLD US that when the next attack come on US soil, he will bomb IRAN, with or without proof of their involvement.

    On July 20th, the US Government propaganda for this pending attack on Iran began in earnest, when Pentagon spokespersons planted stories in the US media that claimed Hezbollah Sleeper Cells were active in the United States, and may be planning attacks against the US Homeland in retaliation for the US backing of Israel.

    The Bin Laden Bogeyman has served his purpose and a new one is being invented before your eyes. The term “Hizbollah Sleeper Cells” has just replaced all prior fear mongering labels used by your own government, to instill fear in you, and condition you to respond reflexively to support the bombing of Iran when Cheney launches the next Terror Attack by the Government of America, AGAINST AMERICA.

    The Iran War Plan:

    Save the lives of the US Troops in Iraq.

    ARREST DICK CHENEY


  109. ace says:

    In late 1982, Edward P. Boland, a Democratic representative, introduced the first in a series of “Boland amendments,” which limited the Reagan Administration’s ability to support the Contras, who were working to overthrow Nicaragua’s left-wing Sandinista government. The Boland restrictions led White House officials to orchestrate illegal fund-raising activities for the Contras, including the sale of American weapons, via Israel, to Iran. The result was the Iran-Contra scandal of the mid-eighties. Cheney’s story, according to the source, was his way of saying that, whatever a Democratic Congress might do next year to limit the President’s authority, the Administration would find a way to work around it. (In response to a request for comment, the Vice-President’s office said that it had no record of the discussion.)

    In interviews, current and former Administration officials returned to one question: whether Cheney would be as influential in the last two years of George W. Bush’s Presidency as he was in its first six. Cheney is emphatic about Iraq. In late October, he told Time, “I know what the President thinks,” about Iraq. “I know what I think. And we’re not looking for an exit strategy. We’re looking for victory.” He is equally clear that the Administration would, if necessary, use force against Iran. “The United States is keeping all options on the table in addressing the irresponsible conduct of the regime,” he told an Israeli lobbying group early this year. “And we join other nations in sending that regime a clear message: we will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.”

    The Old Guard wants to isolate Cheney and give their girl, Condoleezza Rice”—the Secretary of State—“a chance to perform.” The combination of Scowcroft, Baker, and the senior Bush working together is, the general added, “tough enough to take on Cheney. One guy can’t do it.”

    But many in the White House and the Pentagon insist that getting tough with Iran is the only way to salvage Iraq. “It’s a classic case of ‘failure forward,’” a Pentagon consultant said. “They believe that by tipping over Iran they would recover their losses in Iraq—like doubling your bet.

    http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/061127fa_fact?page=1

    This “bet” is being made with YOUR money, and your son’s/daughter’s lives – AGAINST YOUR WILL.

    The C.I.A. found no conclusive evidence, as yet, of a secret Iranian nuclear-weapons program running parallel to the civilian operations that Iran has declared to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

    STOP CHENEY.

    Was it Cheney who ordered Chertoff to kill the Ptech Investigation??? And Remember “Operation Greenquest?” That investigation was killed too!

    http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/2005/01/michael-chertoff-and-sabotage-of-ptech.html

    A tipster was Indira Singh, who has said she recognizes the separate command and control communications system Mike Ruppert describes Dick Cheney to have been running on September 11th as having “the exact same functionality I was looking for (Ptech).”

    The Ptech case turned into an ugly dispute last year when company whistleblowers told Greenquest agents about their own suspicions about the firm’s owners. Sources close to the case say those same whistleblowers had first approached FBI agents, but the bureau apparently did little or nothing in response. With backing from the National Security Council, Greenquest agents then mounted a full-scale investigation that culminated in a raid on the company’s office last December. After getting wind of the Greenquest probe, the FBI stepped in and unsuccessfully tried to take control of the case.

    Whatever the truth, there is no dispute that the case has so far produced no charges and indictments against Al-Qadi or anyone else connected with Ptech.

    What role did Dick Cheney play in killing the investigation into Al-Qadi?

    Now, how does Chertoff figure in the Ptech story? It goes back to the turf war of two years ago over Operation Greenquest, “the high-profile federal task force set up to target the financiers of Al Qaeda and other international terrorist groups.”

    *
    Clearly ptech represent some nexus between the government and terrorism that must not be revealed, and Chertoff is just the man to cover it up.

    Sally > yes the Bush Regime government provides the IPs for their trolls. Their operation is in the White House basement rooms. Supposedly Rove has set up about 100 PCs in the basement with young nerdy GOPers to man them. Their job is to gum up blog sites like TP with garbage.

    I have heard that the Pentagon runs a operation too to peddle propaganda on the threads.

  224. Jay Randal says:

    When they told him that he has an approval rating in the polls higher than that of the current corrupt, crooked president, SiCKO DiCKO thought that was GOOD news!

    As a person sick of SiCKO DiCKO, I want to quote “The Deceiver,” who likes to say, “BRING IT ON!”

    I was “Wade Boggs”. Never done that before. The Eck is such an obnoxious jerk when he comes here (I think he’s a he…) I just wanted to screw w/ his head. I don’t think he suspected a thing. I’m pretty sure he’s gone.

    I might try using Wade’s name agin, maybe screw w/ mr P sometime, so don’t sell me out, okay? I have to say, I make a pretty decent troll, huh!


  453. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    Some of the trolls were being extremely obnoxious here earlier tonight, really trying to screw w/ Zooey. It was rather creepy, actually. I didn’t mean any harm to you guys, I just wanted to set the Eck up for some future moment when he’s here, amking ap ain of himself.

    Somebody once told me that “statistics are like whores — once you lay them down, you can get them to do pretty much whatever you want them to do.”

    Trolls like to trumpet low numbers for Congressional approval, as if this is somehow a victory for their side. What they fail to realize is that BOTH Dems and Repubs are fed up with the obstructionism, and each side is blaming the other — resulting in a “victory” for no one. There will always be a number of people who will support “my guy — I voted for him” on presidential approval polls, while Congress doesn’t have that advantage. If a poll asked people how they felt about their own representative (the one they elected), the numbers would be a great deal higher, as people will always defend “their guy” — it’s the rest of the rascals that need to be thrown out.

    There are enough polls out there that everybody can find one to support their position. The one showing the lowest figure for Congressional approval is by Zogby, which traditionally skews to the right so much that the rest of us don’t find them credible.

    The two most recent polls credible enough to appear on pollingreport dot com show one rates the president higher, one rates congress higher:

    CBS/New York Times — July 20-22

    President Bush Overall Job Rating
    Approve – 30%
    Disapprove – 62%

    Congress Overall Job Rating
    Approve – 26%
    Disapprove – 61%

    (by the way, did you notice that more people approve of Bush, but more people also disapprove of him?)

    ABC/Washington Post — July 18-21

    President Bush Overall Job Rating
    Approve – 33%
    Disapprove – 65%

    Congress Overall Job Rating
    Approve – 37%
    Disapprove – 60%

    Congressional Democrats
    Approve – 46%
    Disapprove – 51%

    Congressional Republicans
    Approve – 34%
    Disapprove – 64%

    Glad I missed this trollfest. Cheney will be lingering reminder of the failed Bush administration. Similar to when Gore ran.

    The country needs distance from the disaster known as GWB and Cheney would be like a remaining boil that couldn’t be lanced.

    If the Republican party wants to destroy all what they stand for then let Cheney run.

    Well, pete, you ask an interesting question.

    You are correct, Dick could become president for the balance of Dubbie’s term. But, that’s what, 500 days?

    To really screw the country, he needs to get elected on his own, then he has potentially 8 more years of mischief.

    Absolutely Cheney should run! Maybe he run with Trudy Guiliani as his vice president! This will make a Democrat (any Democrat, pick one) the sure winner in the 08 elections.

    He will get far more votes for impeachment than he will for President.


  481. Keith Gore Wiseman says:

    Oh, please run, Dick, run. Nothing could ensure a total Democratic landslide in 2008 more. If he were the Party of Nixon nominee, I don’t believe one single Republican could get elected or re-elected.


  482. paul says:

    The Washington Post’s David Broder called the Cheneys “perhaps the most literate couple in town” and, when Mr. Cheney was nominated by George H.W. Bush as defense secretary, wrote, ” Cheney is smart, he is tough and he is totally trustworthy.”

    Apparently, people who know Dick Cheney feel differently about him than hysterical, liberal partisans.


  483. Leporello says:

    What universe do these people live in? How can anybody be so outrageously demented to even consider letting Cheney run? Don’t get me wrong, I can’t think of any better way to guarantee a Democratic landslide, but how could anybody seriously even consider the idea? The saddest thing is that somebody really believes this particular pig could fly. I’d really love to see the test commercials showing Dick looking statesmanlike with the flag flying in the background. Unbelievable.

    There no time to impeach these bastards, they need to be taken into custody by our military! Before the next attack happens! and that could be any time!

  487. Snarfeh For Anarchy says:

    Herr Cheney, unfortunately, has a great chance at winning. Why? Because he’s a power broker. He will extort cooperation from the numbnuts who have lined his pockets all these years. He will hold their darkest secrets over their heads, as he and Herr Rove have been doing all along, & we alllllll know what dark secrets the power brokers have….child molestation, closeted homosexuality, theft, fraud, etc., etc. And if he actually finds one whom he cannot blackmail, why he’ll just threaten the family. With these people in his pocket, the Presidency can be purchased just as it was in 2000 & 2004. My initial thoughts have been that they would create a new fearful, terroristic situation & declare Bush President so as not to “disrupt handling it” & simply instigate a more formal coup than the one we’ve been witnessing all these years. However, I think even they know we’d all come out of our homes to fight that & even our military would back us up on that. So, instead, he’ll just “buy” the people who control the votes & everything else & appoint himself President, just like Bush was appointed. Don’t you people realize yet that we now operate under a fascist “democracy”? Yes, I’m cynical…sure, call me paranoid….but I honestly don’t think our country will see the daylight of true freedom again in my lifetime. As long as the cowardly people in our country, such as is in the Repuglican party, can be manipulated by fear, this is your life. As long as the non-political sit around doing nothing because it hasn’t “affected” them yet, this is your life. As long as all we do is sit on our asses commenting at web sites, this is your life.

    “Bob, if my ideas didn’t carry an weight, I would want to institute some kind of marshal law also.”

    I’m guessing that you meant “martial” law, but I am still unsure what “an weight” might signify …

    I don’t guess this is evidence that you don’t exactly share the Cheneys’ (cough, upchuck, vomit) “literate” status? Is it?

    Nah, couldn’t be.

  493. me says:

    Cheney has 28% of the vote in the bag, no question, no matter what he does. It will take only another 23% (or 19% + Diebold), and he’s in.

    I would love to see him run. He would keep the focus squarely on the idiocy in this administration. The R’s would be so screwed up, they wouldn’t know what to do. They can’t defend him and they can’t attack since most of them have similar positions.

It’s easy to blame e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g on Bush/Cheney/Gonzales/Reagan/Nixon/Republicans in general — but what does it accomplish if all you do is hurl nasty remarks?

  502. Joe says:

    Mr. Cheney will not run. He said he wouldn’t run 7 years ago and for good reason. It doesn’t provide an easy target for the oppossition to demonize for 8 years prior to his run for the president. This way the deamonizers have to wait until there is a target before they can start their evil deeds. I think it is a great strategy on the part of the GOP. They still demonized him, but did’t get all the political mileage out of demonizing a presidential candidate. Whoever does get the nod for GOP candidate will surely be called stupid for starters, then every other name they can try to make stick. It is the same playbook they’ve had for years.

    OK, we’ve had our laughs, but real life & death for millions doesn’t wait. The swell of disease and famine is killing Africa by the millions. The spread of AIDS, economic factors, and politics appears to accelerate this trend – yet there is hope. One agency is providing healthcare, prevention education, feeding, educating, and providing job skills training that has reversed the rampant unemployment rate of 80%. These Africans have something to live for, a hope. Watch this video then go by .

    Many efforts to relieve the death spiral in African countries have failed. Food shipments have rotted in port cities, and medications remain warehoused in urban areas, without effective distribution. Or both have been turned over to local corrupt governmental officials who sell these commodities for their own gain. Child Legacy International provides direct services to the people who need it. They provide education and job training as well as direct care to help these people build a future.

    With a need so devestating, an answer so proven, how can we do nothing? You contributions to Child Legacy International and forwarding this message can save lives.

    I am a conservative republican, and these so-called republicans *i.g Bush/Cheney/Gonzales/Reagan/Nixon/Republicans in general*, have disgraced themselves, and everything that our nation was built upon with their “liberal” spending and lawmaking. conservative means you “conserve” meaning to use less. Liberal means to use more freely, so it seems to me that these terms have been confused in a very curious manner. I wonder where that began. If you want to see a”real” republican conservative platform, just watch 3 videos about Ron Paul. It will remind you what a conservative really is meant to be. It’s time we remind these people that the constitution is not just a “damned piece of paper” as quoted by Mr. George W. Bush.
