LTTE: "DIck Cheney should retire," secrecy is "detriment" to repukes

[ima_sinnic]

a very short letter to the editor of the online Ledger, Lakeland, FL:

For the public record, I would like to establish that I am diligently working to persuade other Republicans to join me, and petition President Bush to retire Dick Cheney in the 2004 election. It will be better for Vice President Cheney to plan on going back to Wyoming after his term ends and do some fly fishing, plus have more time to spend with his grandchildren. Mr. Cheney has bad health, and his staunch resistance to letting the public know with whom he met to plan energy policy is a definite detriment to the Republican Party and to our nation. . . .

2. As Thom Hartmann has been saying for ages...

they will retire Cheney and replace him (probably) with Giuliani. Then the sheeple will have something to vote for again.

5. I don't know

Rudy is too moderate for *'s Far Right base. How about Condi Rice, Shrub's "unsticker"?

3. I thought he had already

Have you seen him lately?

4. Link failed. Why not print the whole letter?

I don't think LTTEs are copyrighted. I am sure the author would not mind a little more distribution.

6. And take your boy Bush with you.

Dick Cheney Should Retire

For the public record, I would like to establish that I am diligently working to persuade other Republicans to join me, and petition President Bush to retire Dick Cheney in the 2004 election. It will be better for Vice President Cheney to plan on going back to Wyoming after his term ends and do some fly fishing, plus have more time to spend with his grandchildren. Mr. Cheney has bad health, and his staunch resistance to letting the public know with whom he met to plan energy policy is a definite detriment to the Republican Party and to our nation.

Conservative columnist William Safire, in The New York Times of Dec. 18, said that it is inappropriate in a democracy for Mr. Cheney to be so secretive. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman said recently that "there is a probable Republican power struggle to extricate President Bush from the clutches of the hard-liners, who are trying to prevent Republican grown-ups from regaining control of the U.S. foreign policy. , unilateral preventive war, is based on delusions of grandeur about America's ability to dominate the world through force, and this approach will ultimately fail."

That power struggle, I hope, includes pressure for Cheney to retire.

Readers will note that the information in hard brackets, [], did not come through. Some editing had been done by the Lakeland newspaper. I turned off the HTML code and reposted this. Here it is:
