WILSON, Wyo. -- Mitt Romney's campaign roped in more than $4 million in a single campaign stop here in Western Wyoming with a boost from one of the most controversial political figures of the last decade: former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Cheney, who has not previously appeared with Romney on the campaign trail, was effusive in his praise for the presumptive GOP nominee, calling him the only man he would want at the helm in the event of another crisis like the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Sooner or later there is going to be a big surprise, Cheney said. Usually a very unpleasant one. Whether its 9-11 or the other kinds of difficulties or crises that arrive, they always do. Thats when you find out what kind of leader your president is.
He continued: When I think about the kind of individual I want in the Oval Office in that moment of crisis, who has to make those key decisions, some of them life and death decisions, some of them decisions as the commander-in-chief who has the responsibility of sending our young men and women into harm's way -- that man is Mitt Romney."

(19,458 posts)Really Cheney? Cuz we have a President that absolutely kicks ass in that regard. Seems that now that they've been schooled in the war or terrorism, and foreign policy, they barely talk about it.
What Cheney meant to say is that Romney is the guy who would do their bidding for them, so that the defense contractors made billions, and the National Guard members would pay the price by being deployed for ridiculously long times outside of the Country....
fuck cheney.

(1,013 posts)yep, that is just what we need again. Let's not forget those WMDs. Oh yeah, I too have confidence, but not the same kind as Dicky Cheney.
Maybe our whole problem is us Liberal Progressive Democrats are unable to disconnect our brains and don't know how to quit reasoning. One more time Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron", featuring Diana Moon Glompers, Hanidcapper General.
