Cheney calls Romney the ‘only man’ able to lead through a crisis like 9/11

[choie]

Source: Yahoo.com

Former Vice President Dick Cheney told a group of Republican donors Thursday that Mitt Romney is the "only man" qualified to lead the country through a potential crisis like the 9/11 attacks.

Speaking at the first of two fundraisers he hosted for Romney near Jackson, Wyo., Cheney praised Romney as the only candidate in the race who can handle "the kind of challenges a president has to deal with."

"There is always, sooner or later, a crisis, totally unanticipated. You can't plan on it, you don't know what it's going to be, but if you go through the campaigns and study the history books and talk to all the experts, sooner or later there's going to be a big surprise, usually an unpleasant one," Cheney said, citing the memory of the 9/11 attacks. "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, decisions as the commander in chief, who has the responsibility for sending our young men and women in harm's way. That man's Mitt Romney."

Shut the fuck up, you psychopathic son of a bitch!

[XemaSab]

1. Eat a dick, Cheney!

n/t

[wordpix]

28. Mittens is Pres. Dick's puppet. Dickhead will control the strings & Mitty will do his bidding.

Chain-ee has his plan in place. HE will go back to being the man-behind-the-curtain president and Big Oil moneymaker, while Mitt will be the spokesman. Perfectly reasonable in Dick-world.

[Aviation Pro]

31. Better yet...

...eat 10 dicks, fucktard.

[Duer 157099]

78. or as Louie CK would say

"...a bag of dicks"

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Oh Irony, where is thy sting?

I haven't missed a 9-11 reference for the past four years.

[Blue Owl]

3. Lying son of a bitch

n/t

[sofa king]

54. He might not be lying.

Romney may be the only person (other than Dick) who would be warned of attacks, call off the hunt for the terrorist leader, make sure the planes couldn't be intercepted, and interfere with the subsequent investigation. Then "lead" the nation into attacking someplace totally uninvolved.

Yeah, Mitt could definitely do that.

[maddezmom]

4. LOL

[yardwork]

19. That was my reaction too. I can see Cheney reviewing the script in advance....

"Do I really have to say this? I mean, people will laugh."

[pinto]

5. Define "irony"...

[Turbineguy]

55. Similar to

bronzy but not as bright. Bronzy in turn is nor as bright as goldy.

[Bluzmann57]

6. Yeah, Obama is weak on defense

That's why he ordered the Somali pirates to be shot in the head and why Osama Bin Laden is dead. Good grief cheney is dumb. Or blind. Or whatever.

[kimbutgar]

16. Cheney lost brain cells because of his heart problems

That explains why he would make such an insane comment coming from the guy who let 9-11 happen to further his agenda.

[Larry Ogg]

32. Cheney is a more dangerous psychopath than is any of the ones Obama has ordered executed.

The fact that Obama, along with other elected democrats, and much of our political and justice system, has been nothing more than an obstacle towards anyone who would attempt to bring Cheney, the never elected Bush Regime, and other rich and powerful psychopaths to justice; speaks volumes as to how much trouble the entire World is in.

And history will show that, when there is selective prosecution of one evil, while another evil is given free rain, you need to open your eyes, and start asking why, or you too, will become as one of the guilty!

[Mz Pip]

39. Cheney is a partisan hack

He'll ay anything to make Mitwit sound good.

[mrmpa]

7. Is that a threat?..........

son of a bitching warmongering bastard..

[smirkymonkey]

79. Sounds like we're in for it. Again.

Bastard.

[NYC_SKP]

8. Cheney is Right!

In the sense that Romney would fly the terrorists and their families out of town and be sure to help his friends sell any critical stock and assets, etc.,...

Just like Bush/Cheney did on 9/11!!

[AngryOldDem]

9. And he knows this, how exactly?

If my dog were running against Obama, I'm sure Cheney would say the same about her.

It must mean that Mittens would be open to manipulation -- just the type of guy Cheney loves.

And, as for this quote:

"There is always, sooner or later, a crisis, totally unanticipated. You can't plan on it, you don't know what it's going to be, but if you go through the campaigns and study the history books and talk to all the experts, sooner or later there's going to be a big surprise, usually an unpleasant one," Cheney said, citing the memory of the 9/11 attacks. "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, decisions as the commander in chief, who has the responsibility for sending our young men and women in harm's way. That man's Mitt Romney."

Seems to me Joe Biden said almost the exact same thing about Obama during the 2008 campaign, and caught a lot of shit for it.

[FailureToCommunicate]

10. "...a crisis, totally unanticipated" By the Ostridge-In-Chief, maybe

Chaney SHOULD be sitting in a cell, writing his memoirs on prison stationary...

[whatchamacallit]

11. He's right

Like Cheney, Romney is more likely to lead us through a similar false flag act of treason.

[Sterling]

73. I'm glad people are saying this

I found DU in the year following 9-11. I live DT NYC and the lies started that very day when they told us we could breath the air safely. It just got worse and worse. The agenda was too obvious to pretend. Too many facts that don't support the BS.

[Atman]

12. And Clarence Thomas was the "most qualified man in America" to serve on the Supreme Court.

These people are just plain crazy.

.

[Renew Deal]

13. I think Osama Bin Laden would disagree

So would a bunch of former Somali pirates

[Enrique]

14. 911?

that doesn't have the power it once had. People don't hear "911" and go completely stupid like they once did, the are going to notice that this makes no sense.

[Wolf Frankula]

15. Does Skeletor mean that Rmoney would run around the country like scared bunny

Like Captain Bunnypants did? Does he mean that Governor Magic Underwear would sit frozen and make stupid jokes, like Captain Bunnypants?

Give it up Unka Dikk.

Wolf

[VWolf]

17. IOW, Cheney thinks GWB is unqualified as well. Huh. n/t

[lunatica]

18. Say the words "9/11" and Dick gets an erection

[Scootaloo]

57. And with each erection, a heart attack

Why. Won't. He. DIE?! That must be the world's most durable goat heart they installed in his mobile cadaver.

[Raster]

20. And since cheney* knows more about 9/11 than just about everyone, including....

...George W. Bush* and Osama Bin Ladin...

[KurtNYC]

21. Again with the "no way of knowing 9/11 was coming" crap ?!

"There is always, sooner or later, a crisis, totally unanticipated. You can't plan on it, you don't know what it's going to be, but if you go through the campaigns and study the history books and talk to all the experts, sooner or later there's going to be a big surprise, usually an unpleasant one," Cheney said,

...like getting shot in the face by your canned hunting trip host for example ?

[permatex]

22. Where does he come up with this fucking bullshit?

Show me one crises that Rmoney has had to face, I mean, other than having to answer for lies about Bain Capital?
OTOH, Pres. Obama has shown time and time again that he can face a crises and handle it with a calm, cool, & collected attitude.

Fuck off Cheney and the horse you rode in on.

[HughBeaumont]

23. I'd rather have a person who could PREVENT a 9/11 in the first place . . .

. . . you know, kind of like The Cheney Administration WASN'T ABLE (or, worse yet, had no vested interest) to do when presented with some warnings??

[begin_within]

24. How sad for them that Romney is their best hope...

[wordpix]

71. yah, I'm crying a river for them.

[global1]

25. He Can't Even Respond To The Crisis His Campaign Is Going Through On This Bain Issue.....

that is a crisis that should have been anticipated. He could have planned on it. He had to know what it was going to be. For petes sake - it was brought up by Gringrich in the run up to the Repug nomination. This current crisis is not big surprise - but it is an unpleasant one for the Mittster.

How does Mitt usually handle such a crisis. He lies or buys his way out.

Is that the man that you want to be President?

[wordpix]

29. don't worry, Willard will hand over reins to Dick to be the crisis-in-chief headman

Dick knows how to handle all the crises. He's an expert and when the going gets tough, he knows all the undisclosed locations to hide out.

[LibDemAlways]

26. Cheney is an old, washed up GOP hack no one

should take seriously. If Palin was the presumptive nominee, he'd say the same thing about her. What a joke.

[heaven05]

27. laughable

Obama has class, romoney is an ass. cheney's comments are laughable.

[Aviation Pro]

30. So Dick "Motherfucker" Cheney rears....

....his fucking ass up to suggest in a fucking hypothetical situation that Lurch the Fucking Stiff^TM would respond to a crisis like 9/11 better than the President.

Two things you walking wad of fucking, pus-filled shitbag:

[font color="red"]1. You and fucking Two Shoes McClown didn't respond to the warnings of 9/11
2. You and fucking Two Shoes McClown didn't find, fix and order the kill of the architect of the attacks. The current Commander in Chief did.[/font]

Go eat a fucking pound of fucking bacon, you stroke on a fucking stick.

[go west young man]

37. Nicely put.

[driver8]

44. I couldn't have said it better myself!! n/t

[treestar]

53. This post is beautiful!

[Marthe48]

69. Had to convince my husband I didn't post this

However, I wish I had, because it is the best post I ever read!

[wordpix]

70. haha, that's funny

[onehandle]

33. Your guy failed, Dick. Failed on every level possible. nt

[denvine]

34. Darth Vader has arisen again!

I'm getting the feeling that Cheney wants another chance to start another war, maybe with Iran this time. Please Cheney, go back into hibernation and lick your wounds.

[Gormy Cuss]

35. I'm sure that Romney would handle it just as capably as W.

Okay, maybe he'd be a little better.

[evilhime]

36. I have to wonder

how hard Cheney had to work to not barf as he said those words. He had no choice, but I really think Uncle Dick would NOT feel that way at all about Romney but he is being a good party man. I don't like Cheney but I also can't see him willingly supporting Willard and believing this pap.

[Poll_Blind]

38. Does he mean Rmoney owns a copy of "My Pet Goat", too?

PB

[MustBeTheBooz]

40. Cheney also said...

Water is dry...
Pinnochio was never made of wood...
And the earth is indeed flat.

And thirty percent of the populace knew it was so.


He also said if you don't believe him you can go f**k yourself.

[judesedit]

41. Can you imagine that Satan's ass-kisser was vice-president of this country..even though not elected

Puke, puke, puke. And now he wants his puppet to dance for him. Puke again.

[Dawson Leery]

42. August 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing!

You bastards ignored this warning along with many others given to you by the Clinton administration.
You allowed OBL to run free for a decade.

[judesedit]

43. 9/11 happened on BushCheney reign because they IGNORED the warnings. Too busy playing golf

Can you for a second imagine his toady in charge? Cheney just wants more wars to steal other country's assets, whoever and whatever they are. He did it to us. Disgusting. By the way..seek the truth on 9/11. Don't listen to liars. Do you know who William Rodriguez is? Do a search and learn the facts.

[ladym55]

45. Thanks, Dick

YOUR view on foreign policy is just SO vital to the rest of us.

So I guess in time of crisis, you want another total a$$hat starting a war in country unconnected to the crisis, especially one that costs trillions of dollars. Gee, that's reassuring.

Umm, Dick, how can I miss you if you won't go away?

[Third Doctor]

46. He's full of shit

Romney would be like a deer caught in the head lights. He can't even handle tough questions.

[sad sally]

47. "There is always, sooner or later, a crisis...there's going to be a big surprise, usually an

an unpleasant one," Cheney said, citing the memory of the 9/11 attacks (who some of us crazies think may have had a hand in that "big surprise&quot . Could this evil man have another unpleasant crises lined up for the country? Too hard to believe? maybe...maybe not.

[alphafemale]

48. That was the sound of Cheney's last functioning brain cell dying.

Terrorists aren't like blind teachers you can walk into closed doors.

Terrorists aren't like smaller, weaker classmates you can pin to the floor with your knees while hacking off their hair.

Terrorists aren't like a terrified animal you can strap down to a car roof for hours, hose it down when it defecates and continue driving.

Terrorists aren't like a child that you can shove their face into melted butter.



But, RMoney is a sniggling, privileged little prick just like bush.

[DCBob]

49. That's like saying Custer is only man to protect us from the Indians.

What utter nonsense. Cheney is no doubt senile.

[alphafemale]

50. So....Cheney is going to be the VP pick?

heh

[jberryhill]

51. And probably most likely to get us INTO a crisis like 9/11

I don't want someone to lead us through another thing like that.

[Politicalboi]

52. But Rmoney could have

Given tickets to widows and orphans of 9/11 for the Olympics but chose to give them to men who could help him out instead. Taking care of "Amercia".

[bluestateguy]

56. Obama got Osama

That's all.

[Callmecrazy]

58. He'll be dead soon enough

You know, this is one elder statesman that I don't ever care to hear from again. And I still don't know why anyone even gives him a platform to spew his little bits of wisdom. He's running around with a mechanical heart and one day someone is going to pull the plug out of the wall and cut off the end and we'll be rid of him. He is an embarrassment on the world stage for all Americans and I, for one, wish he'd just go sit in the garden and keel over face down in the dirt.

You know, August doesn't have any Federal holidays. How about DDD- Dick is Dead Day.

[kiranon]

59. Because Romney would listen to the neocons and Obama does not.

IMHO - that's what Cheney sees in a Romney presidency.

[denverbill]

60. I think he means 'lead into' not 'lead through'.

[and-justice-for-all]

61. GO TO PRISON ALREADY!!!! nt

[Incitatus]

62. That means so much coming from someone with

a lower approval rating than W.

[Kingofalldems]

63. Cheney an expert, he shot a guy while hunting.

[olddad56]

64. how about the only candidate to lead us TO a crisis like 911.

Cheney should know, he was one of, if not the, chief architects of 9-11.

[olddad56]

65. Cheney is the most hated person in the world, maybe he will be Mitt's choice for VP.

Cheney has the expereince to lead us to another 'rich get richer' scheme like 9-11.

[grasswire]

66. that's gotta be the kiss of death

or at least a horse's head

[Ohio Joe]

67. If by 'handle' he means... 'Make things even worse like bush did', he may be correct

I think rmoney is at a sufficient level of stupid to fuck things up worse then they are.

[Kablooie]

68. Yeah? Well Bush and Cheney sure weren't qualified.

[drlit]

72. Convoluted, yet consistent

Ah, Cheney. Haven't we missed him. The Old Penquin. Ack 9/11 Ack 9/11.

Well, the fascinating thing is that the Only Man to have made good on the retaliation/punishment/search for the perpetrator of "Ack.9/11.Ack" is sitting in the Oval Office, as we speak.

Sooooo.... with Rmoney never exhibiting one iota of leadership capability (unless somehow as one term gov of Mass he led a charge up Bunker Hill or something).... it's ironic that Dick "The Penquin" Cheney, whose administration never found anything from WMD to Ben Laden, let alone their ass in the dark, what with single-handedly destroying the economy of .. pretty much... the world, is even allowed to make a sound, let alone a sound byte anywhere near Rmoney.

[denbot]

74. Fuck you and your 5 draft deferments.

Fuck you very much.

[truthisfreedom]

75. Actually, rMoney is the only candidate who can guarantee a crisis like 9/11/2001.

And that's just what cheney's corporate handlers need.

[BeyondGeography]

76. Romney would ask al Qaeda for an apology

[valerief]

77. I guess he didn't find Bush's work acceptable. nt
