Lynne Cheney: 2008 Presidential Candidate?
Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, endeared herself to conservatives recently by nailing CNN’s Wolf Blitzer to the wall.
Appearing on Blitzer’s Situation Room, Mrs. Cheney asserted that CNN specials on the 2006 elections contained “terrible distortions of the president’s and vice president’s positions on many issues.â€
Cheney showed that she knows exactly how to deal with the liberal media when she asked Blitzer “What is CNN doing running tapes of terrorists shooting Americans?” Her sharpest question was “Do you want us to win?†and echoed the sentiments of conservatives everywhere who are fed up with the bias and anti-American pap served up by CNN and other liberal media outlets.

The larger question begging to be answered as a result of Cheney’s spectacular performance: Has she tossed her hat into the ring as a possible candidate for the Republican nomination for president in 2008?
History could be in the making if Mrs. and Mr. Cheney become running mates for the top jobs at the White House in 2008. She could be the first woman to serve as U.S. president, and with Dick Cheney back for a third term as vice president, the Cheney-Cheney tandem would be another first in American history.
Adding to her appeal, Lynne Cheney has all the qualities needed to serve as America’s CEO.
Specifically, she is:
*Â Â Â A woman with executive-level skills and abilities
*Â Â Â Highly intelligent and articulate
*Â Â Â Photogenic and media savvy
*Â Â Â Author of several books
*Â Â Â Former television panelist and co-host
*Â Â Â Knowledgeable on domestic and foreign issues
*Â Â Â Conservative
However, Lynne Cheney’s greatest asset is something she is not:  Namely, Mrs. Cheney is not Hillary Clinton!
That alone could earn her tens of millions of votes from Americans unwilling to turn this great nation over to the most divisive personality in contemporary politics.
Run, Lynne, run!

After Vietnam, our troops were spit on when they returned home. This time, our troops should be spitting on the hippies. The only thing Iraq has in common with Vietnam is a bunch of pee in their pants hippy cowards who are now all ACLU lawyers, Democrat politicians, teachers, and reporters, who to turn public opinion against patriots, and write laws to weaken our ability to fight this war. They are all celebrating polls that show a majority of the US are now against the war. I think we should be making a list, of all these cowards and hold a symbolic spitting ceremony by our soldiers, on all these anti-American Soros-sucklings. The only ones I see, who have not become cowards, are Dick Cheney, and as you point out his wife Lynn Cheney, and Rick Santorum. The Republicans deserve to lose in 2006, if they don’t start believing in our military. All I hear when I listen to their debates is we all want the troops to come home, too. They are caving in to the cowardice of the cry baby Democrats, who are like bratty kids in the back seat of the car, on a long trip saying, daddy are we there yet? They need a good slap. We have 350,000 troops in 130 countries. I don’t hear anyone asking, why we are still in Germany, Japan, and South Korea? These hippy cowards are projecting their own fears on our troops, and playing to the weakness, of our women voters, and castrated male voters who don’t understand the military, with pitiful rhetoric, of why we must bring our kids home now. Their crusade of denigrating this war has resulted in a self-fulfilling prophesy, which they are celebrating. When I watch programs made by Special Forces, the only thing I hear them complaining about, is they have to go through all that training, and never get used in combat. We have a volunteer force in Iraq who clearly wants to fight this war to win, and a bunch of cowards at home who want us to lose, who are celebrating polls that show they have been successful, in turning a majority of the US against the war.
“The forces of the United States military are located in nearly 130 countries around the world performing a variety of duties from combat operations, to peacekeeping, to training with foreign militaries. Some of these deployments have existed for nearly 50 years, as in Japan, Germany, and South Korea, while other deployments have more recent origins such as the current occupation of Iraq. Soldiers have been receiving many incentives for reenlisting like job reclassification and new duty assignments to Europe on top of reenlistment bonus averaging $10,000 dollars. Soldiers have also been reenlisting for the one semester of college, which allows the soldier to further their career and increase opportunities for promotion and advancement. As of January 2005, there are some 250,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen deployed in support of combat, peacekeeping, and deterrence operations. This figure does not include those forces normally present in Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom or Japan unless bases at those locations are actively supporting a combat operation. Furthermore, tours of duty in these locations are routine and not considered hardship tours. If one were to include these forces the number of deployed troops worldwide would be around 350,000. However, forces deployed to South Korea are included as those units are part of a UN command and deterrence operation.†–www.GlobalSecurity.org

True. They all want to be the next Walter Benedict Cronkite.

Electing Lynne Cheney as our first female president would cause Clinton to foam at the mouth in rage at having her self-presumed place in history pre-empted.

Lynne Cheney’s Lesbian Romance
Did you know that Lynne Cheney, wife of vice-president Dick Cheney and mother of the openly gay activist Mary Cheney, wrote in 1981 a lesbian romance novel? Not many people do, but in light of the Bush administration’s support of a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages, that book is being brought back out into the light and the New York Theater Workshop recently performed scenes from it.
New York Daily News explains:
“Choice scenes adapted from “Sisters” included one in which two female characters write to each other:
“Let us go away together, away from the anger and the imperatives of men. We shall find ourselves a secluded bower where they dare not venture. There will be only the two of us, and we shall linger through long afternoons of sweet retirement.”
“One of Cheney’s characters swoons to a Sapphic love letter:
“How well her words describe our love – or the way it would be if we could remove all impediments, leave this place, and join together … Then our union would be complete. Our lives would flow together, twin streams merging into a single river.”
One wonders what passions burn in the secret corners of Lynne Cheney’s heart…
Besides, what is conservative about her Wilsonian, Compassionate Conservative husband? In the name of conservatism this administration has outdone Clinton’s big government liberalism and internationalism by leaps and bounds.
How about we look for a real conservative? Just a thought.
Respectfully,
Steve

Unsurprisingly, her daughter his a lesbian. Radical attitudes do bear fruit, even if it’s not in the womb.
