CNN

Alice in Florid... Wonderland. No, Fantasy land

He should be there, why shouldn't he be? If I see one more comment refeering to Iraq and the current administration it will be to many. Funny, everyone supported the invasion of Iraq, Republican, Democrat politicians alike, and everyone in between, and now they turn against it, go figure. Let me see when was the last time we had a terrorist attack in the US, hummm, I think it was 9/11. Who should take credit for that, I'm sure nobama and his supporters would like to say he had something to do with it. Now Russia has invaded Georgia, maybe nobama has a solution for that as well.

Awesome!! Cheney is one of the greatest Vice Presidents ever. Too bad he isn't running for President. All your tiny liberal brains would collectively explode, leaving the US with only normal people that don't really care about terrorist's rights.

McCain/Bush/Cheney have all lied to perpetuate the war in Iraq. That is a fact that is well know but I don't expect CNN to publish this comment.

Wonderful, why not invite all the other criminals, liars, that belong to the GOP, i.e., Rumsfeld, Rove, Delay, etc. then arrange a quail hunt for them with Cheney, lol. It is truly amazing that this bunch of arrogants have gotten away with creating so much negativity amongst the citizenry of the U.S. I suggest you see the movie "V for Vendetta" and perhaps you will get a better concept of what the Bush administration has created; hopefully, it can be changed before we have our own internal revolution!!!

That should be riveting.

IAN AND OTHER REPUBLICANS THAT HAVE POSTED,

HOW COULD YOU IN SOUND MIND AND BODY SUPPORT BUSH/CHENEY/MCCAIN?

You may not like Obama for whatever reason. To vote on party line is insane. The issues this country is in would have me either not vote or vote independent.

McCain has voted with Bush 91% of the time! Do we want 91% of George Bush/Dick Cheney for the next 4 years?

My prediction if so:
-Gas will be $10/gallon
-10% unemployment rate
-Freddie and Fannie Mae crumbles
-Taxes MUCH HIGHER (any smart business person knows that taxes has to go up to get us out of this $10 trillion debt...Bush has taken loans for 8 years from China and everyone else...If no taxes, how will the deficit come down?...IDIOTS!!!!!)
-crime just insane (look this up...as the economy goes down, crime goes up)

I can go on and on...I just don't understand....I WOULD BE ASHAMED TO SAY I VOTED FOR BUSH TWICE AND WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN

Ian. Darth Vader doesn't love his country. He loves CONTROL and $. His meetings were in secret, he ignores legal proceedings, does what ever the h#*l he wants and doesn't care what anybody thinks. All he cares about is his $ from corporations, kick-backs, and shady back room deals all in the name of "advisory councils" which he then tries to hide behind executivve priveledge. Maybe when he speaks he can bring his shotgun out for all the yahoos in the crowd. Of course knowing him, it's liable to go off on somebody

Oh Cheney again ,
Cheney is unique in American history .... He is the vortex in the White House on foreign policymaking. Everything comes through him & MCcain is in his pocket since he is badly in need money for election .

MCcain can not resist old man nothing to say to the people of America except pack of lies and this job is qualified for CHENEY..........

"Excellent, Smithers."

Kevin, you want a trust worthy candidate?? You do know this is politics, right?

lets do fraud!!!!!!!!!

If bad teeth were a crime, Dick would have to be pardoned by Bush.

is this the same Dick, that thought it would be a good idea to have navy seals dress up like iranians and attack navy ships, so he can have his war with Iran?

Will the people of our nation ever choose real morality, our constitution, and justice over the posers of morality like this cheesehead Cheney?
This man outed a CIA agent. He should be tried for treason.
This man took our country to war for no reason but profit, our kids are dying for his greed. He should be tried for treason.

The very idea that so called Republicans would parade this aristocratic fascist out for their Nazi followers is an insult and a crime.

For all of you morons out there, put aside for hatred of gays and your love of Jesus and actually vote for a patriot.

God help us all.

Ian: You are certainly right: Dick Cheney loves his country. And I love my country. The problem is that Dick Cheney believes, my country is his.

nevermind .i'll go to huff-post if you wont post comments.

Ian..if Cheney loves this country..why did he and georgie porgie engineer the deaths of 4000 brave citizens..these criminal needs to be locked up

I still don't understand why the people who voted for the war in Iraq haven't been charged with war crimes.

Bush/ Cheney at the GOP convention will help Obama. They will remind voters about the cost of gas, the disaster in Iraq, Katrina. and the need for change. Obama 08.

Maybe he can explain how he had nothing to do with the name of Valarie Plane being brought to the public. I'm sure he'll probably lie his way thru it. It's a shame he and Bush haven't been impeached.

oh boy, I can't wait to watch the Vice-criminal who has really been president the last 8 years speak! Speak on what!?

1. How Cheney and his lackey Bush lied to start a war to benefit the big oil companies/Haliburton/themselves
2. How he and Dumbya's administration completely failed the Katrina victims? ("Heck of a job, Brownie!")
3. the torturing of prisoners, making the USA look like a nation of barbarians and bullies to the whole world
4. Completely destroying the USA's foriegn credibility and stirring up even more Islamic hatred for us (thus making us much less secure)
5. Beating the drum for yet another war (Iran)
6. setting all governmental policies in favor of Big Oil?
7. Presiding over biggest corporate scandals in history? (Enron, Worldcomm, Adelphia, etc. etc...)
8. Need I go on?

Cheney – PLEASE TAKE BUSH HUNTING WITH YOU!!!

This is good news.

McBush

So what is that flapping sound you hear?

It's the Republican chicken-hawks coming home to roost.

Maybe Cheney and McSame can trade war stories.

don't you notice a big similarity between the veep and dick morris. the facial features are the same, the way they talk are the same and the way they think are almost the same. must have come from the same genes.

A very sad day when he and Bush walked into the White House. Sad, sad day.

Ian....
Your ignorance is disgusting. The only think Dick Cheney loves is his money, and the interests of his segment of the country.

PRIME TIME, he should speak prime time so Americans can see one the henchmen that is directly responsible for 4,000 plus soldiers dying and $4.00 plus gasoline prices.

O/08

To the Republicans who say a vote for Obama is a vote for "Big government, less Constitution"... what do you think the Bush/Cheney agenda was for the last 8 years?!

The biggest expansion of the federal government in history.

Domestic spying programs that eroded our Bill of Rights and actually DECREASED our freedoms.

I hope Cheney gets to speak in prime time. He might play well to the GOP base, but his robotic zombie act creeps out everyone else.

Wonder why hes smiling,did he just run over a Democrat?

OBAMA IS A FAD, HE IS THE "COOL" THING TO DO RIGHT NOW. OBAMA IS NOTHING BUT AN EMPTY SUIT, NO SUBSTANCE TO THE MAN.

The republicans – true patriots who got approx 5,000 troops killed over a lie and oil. Thanks dick, george and mcsurge for voting on that buddy. You guys are definitely patriotic....NOT! Hey mcsurge, how soon in office do you plan on starting the next war?

The collapse of the Democratic party has worked wonderfully for us Greens. Thank you Howard Dean. Thank you Barack Obama!! We grow in numbers every day because of you. VOTE GREEN '08

It might be nice of some GOPs actually commented here. I'm so sick of the Obama supporters and the petty jealous comments jumping on every single GOP article just because CNN sorely leans to the left.

I'm glad Cheney is going to speak. Yes, there are some issues there, but no one can be right or in a perfect light all the time. He is a voice of a conservative that is sorely missing.

And we care why? Run, Dick, Run. Run right on back to Wyoming and stay there.

"WHAT IS HE GOING TO SAY HOW HE KILLED 4200 KIDS FOR MONEY AND OIL. HERE IS YOUR PATRIOT REPUBLICANS. "

We have not gained one drop of oil from the war. Even the most obvious lefties have admitted that. You need to update you bad information.

Chaney is much repected than Clintons!!! Chaney is racist by nature but Clintons are racist by power hungry behavior. Thus, Chaney is now the best

Just try not to shoot anyone in the face, mm-kay Dick?

CNN, this should have just been a story but to put it on the Ticker, my God you just love fueling the hatred coming out of libs. You could say Mary Poppins supports McCain and they'd spew their hatred, but just mentioning Cheney has got to have them furious, foaming at the mouth. You'd have twice as many comments if they weren't so mad to type.

ALICE IN FLORIDA, get over it!!!!!!!!!! The fact of the matter is all the Clinton secrets would cause him the election. I was once where you are thinking she should be VP. Looking at how they are such sore losers, I wouldn't trust them! Notice I said them!

So Alice, get over it...I never seen such babies who fret over not getting what they want!!!!!!!!!! SHE LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vice President Cheney is a great patriot, a great leader, and a great American. I will miss him. America is safer, stronger, and has a more secure future thanks to his efforts. I look forward to seeing him speak.

All of these liberal whiners are exhausting!! Cheney is by far more brilliant than what you can bring yourselves to admit. Perhaps a democrat was in office over the last 8 years..... we would look like a mouse while the rest of the world got screwed and plundered.

IAN- you should also be publicly hung and quartered since you love cheney and bush so much....Your time is over give up.. There is a new dawn coming, and your going to be stomped out. Idiot

This is great news for America. Cheney is a true American and a proud conservative. I also hope Pat Buchanan speaks as well. We need a conservative voice which is missing in McCain.

Cheney is one of the most evil men in our time. To allow him to speak at the convention says a lot more about John McCain. Just how many others like Cheney does he owe for the nomination he is getting. Mcain – Bush/Cheney, there is no difference; just more of the same.

Who cares? In JAnuary, he is gone

re: Issues
"Big government, higher taxes, less Constitution."

I guess you have been under a rock the past 8 years. Either that or selective memory and cognitive dissonance.

The big question remains: will Cheney be wearing his penguin suit and chomping on a cigar during his speech?

excellent.. Cheney and Bush can set the tone for the GOP convention. might I suggest a banner for the podium? - "Heck of a job, boys."

Take pictures ... lots and lots of pictures ...

Given that McCain is demonstrably sexist, and rather extremely so, I can't possibly understand what would motivate a former Clinton supporter to say that they're going to vote for him. Voter for Barr, vote for Nader, not vote at all, these I can see. Can there any reason other than petulance or racism to vote for somebody who not only doesn't agree with you, but is the antithesis of all your political positions on gender and equality?

"If Obama gets the nomination, I'm going to vote for the candidate who left his first wife after she was disfigured in a car accident, who pimped his current wife out to a crowd of bikers, and who voted against equal wages for women! That makes perfect sense!"

Explain this to me! Please! It's like a Christian voting for a Satanist over a pastor because the pastor is a Presbyterian instead of a Lutheran. There is no sense or reason to it, is there?

Cheney is a war criminal but his and Bush's successor is still better than Obama. Dump Howard Dean and Pelosi and bring us back Clinton, a nominee that can win.

in Jon Stewarts words: "wah,wah,wah.." Now all we need is Karl Rove to speak...Now that would be criminal!

I think America is the one that's a fool here.
The people of american are so brain washed. The Gov here takes people for a ride in the name of patriotism. What a shame.

BUSH/CHANEY will do more harm to humanity than the antischrist..

Like to know where Alice gets her poll numbers from – uh, Obama's been leading for months.....

Everyone should google the video THE ONE, about Barak Obama. It is so funny, and accurate. I had to watch it twice.

Alice in FLorida. Shove it!!!!!!!!

Cheney and Bush are the best gifts that the Democratic Party could have ever hoped for!!

The huge younger generations of Democrats they have created will help the Democratic Party sustain huge majorities for years to come.

Thanks!!

Bring David Addington and John Yoo with you Cheney.

Let's hook Cheney up to a lie detector during the speech and film the results...off the chart!

I wonder if they will have music when Cheney walks on... Imperial March from Star Wars anyone? I wonder how close the policies are between Bush, Cheney (the brains for a lot) and McCain.

Starting off with a bang. Or, in Cheney's case, a shot in the face.

Alice in Florida August 8th, 2008 10:56 am ET

The Democratic Party can still save itself from another humiliating defeat by nominating Hillary at the convention. Sticking with Obama guarantees McCain being elected in November.

-----------
Alice, you are 100% correct, Being a Republican I / WE all know that Hillary had it, She had OHIO and several other states in the bag. But THANK YOU DNC for giving us another WIN! YAHOO!!!!!
And I am sorry Alice as she is a fighter and would defend our nation, we know that, even though we disagree with other issues she has we KNOW she would defend us and keep America, an American Nation and NOT run around tearing down / removing US FLAGS as Obama does, He don't even have a US FLAG on his ENTIRE SITE! but the obama people will claim that Circle thing is a US FLAG! LOL LOL

Thanks DNC, gave us another No Experience, Possibly None US Citizen, that wants to dismantle our military, take our ICBM's OFFLINE! look on you tube, he cays it flat out, and SLOW future weapons design, Remove all Nuclear stuff. etc... YEA real brain child, WE got this in the bag! and sorry Alice even if Hillary was VP, you got a Un-Qualified leader above her, he still will lose. But hey it's been fun!! NEXT eection DNC remember Ban Hillary, and give us Edwards or someone else that we can tell SIT! LOL LOL

----------

= = = LOL…….. seems the Dems are self-destructing; with Cheney the Reps seem to follow.
The greatest show on earth. Stay tuned!

Let the games begin! Let's give Cheney his due. Let's welcome this blot on our constitution with open arms and recognize his contributions to our republic. Cheney is redux of Agnew–just another two-bit crook who thinks governing is all about enriching his friends and screwing the rest of us. Yeah, let's get another four years of cronyism and mismanagement. Let's go through more pain and suffering because we still don't have our fill. The conservatives have not yet totally bankrupted our economy. And let's give the top one percent of the population big tax cuts because they need it and just a little bit of their excess may dribble down to the rest of us if we are worthy. Oh yeah, I can't get enough of Mr. Cheney.

Cheney is the true oil man to speak for the oil party. Talk abotu media misinforming the public. THe RNC is in shambles as well. Their donations from oil companies ( not employees). The ROn Paul revolution down the street which includees Bob Barr ( the spoiler for the Republicans). Bobb Barr is to them as Ralph Nader is to the dems: A spoiler. Not to mention that the GOP might not even excite the crowd enough to even pack the house. Not to mention the protests of anti-war protestors. No wonder everyone hates the media...LOL!!!!!!!

Obama 08'.

P.S. Now is your opportunity to focus on McCain's gaffee like " REAL" reporters do. No wonder PBS gets more debates than all of the corporate media.

Why in the world???? Well, I suppose even they need a bit of humor at their convention.

Oh what a mistake. Even his own dog probally hates Chaney. No one cares what this mean old traitor has to say.

This is great! Let everyone know that John McSame is about the same garbage policies as is The Prez!

One War Monger speaks out on how the country should elect another War Monger for President.. No surprise there.

This is just too good. War Monger Dick Cheney speaking at the Republican convention along side John McCain. I hope it gets lots of coverage from every news channel.

Perhaps it will give all of us in the nation, Republican and Democrat alike, an opportunity to reflect on how we ever managed to become so out of touch with ourselves that we twice (well, perhaps once) elected a team so unable to withstanding diverse points of view and so utterly unable to even pretend to care about any other than their financial, corporate or religious peers.

Great! The most reviled politician of our time speaking at the coronation of McCain. Does anyone have any doubts that a vote for McCain is a vote for the same disconnected politics that we have all experienced over the last eight years.

The Republicans need to give Cheney an early speaking time as far away from the media as possible. On the other hand, maybe they could get Cheney to do a remote "town hall" from some military base. That seems to be the only way he can attract a crowd.

Who said it is not a fourth Bush term? What more evidence do the voters need!

I just can't wait to hear Cheney speak and tell us a bunch more lies. Maybe he could wear a Halliburton shirt too. Saturday Night Live should have a field day with this one. I hope he does speak as it would just show the public that John McCain is going to be just 4 more years of Bush/Cheney. Haven't we all had enough of the lies, deceit etc. When are the American people going to stand up and stop the maddness. I hope its when they vote for Obama!

Oh, great! The convention of crazy people is led by another crazy person!

He should fit in quite nicely.

Obama '08

I hope this will be the last time we have to see this thug,, I consider both Bush and Chenny criminals...I have nothing but contempt fot both on them,,,,

At least all you left wingers realize that the media controls you. Why doesn't someone start actually paying attention to issues instead the the next TV ad? Lemmings...

Big government, higher taxes, less Constitution.

Obama is a change we can surely believe will hurt us.

I am shocked Mccain is actually letting PRSIDENT CHENEY speak at his convention.

Does GWB gets to speak in a primetime slot (and gets to hug McCain)?

WHAT IS HE GOING TO SAY HOW HE KILLED 4200 KIDS FOR MONEY AND OIL. HERE IS YOUR PATRIOT REPUBLICANS.

VOTE OBAMA........08

He should be arrested by an international war crimes tribunal, not asked to speak on behalf of Republicans. Then again, he does speak on behalf of Republicans...

Maybe this'll remind people why McCain is a bad choice. His policies are directly in line with the Bush/Cheney administration, and look where they've gotten us.....

Does that picture show Cheney's pirate impersonation (Arrrr!), or what? I'm hoping for the day when this guy gets arrested and thrown into jail. We'll see if he'd be grinning like this in his mugshot.

I would expect his speech to be short, and McCain to be nowhere within camera range of this guy.

This is one of those laugh out loud moments that you hope for but never expect to happen. A war criminal and traitor speaking at the convention.
When he gives his endorsement to McCain, what will you fools do?
WHAT WILL YOU SEE?

I'm predicting a "technical malfunction" so Cheney's speech is seen by no one other than the people in the convention hall.

Democrats are insane for nominating Obama, Clinton.

I see it now: McBush and Cheney kissing on the lips. Awesome!

Former McCain senior adviser John Weaver - who exited the campaign last year amid turmoil - cast aside his usual interview reticence last week, telling the Atlantic magazine that he believed the campaign's embrace of mockery as a tactic "diminishes John McCain," and that the "Celeb" ad was "childish" and "reduces McCain on the stage."
Goin Down.

Alice it's a shame you can not get past Hillary – she lost. I hope you eventually come around and move on to the right move for the country – OBAMA. Democrats need to unite to secure the Whitehouse. This is one of the reasons Hillary should have dropped much sooner.

As for Cheney at the RNC – it's fitting and they should not hide the real charachters in the party. It is what it is no matter how much it is going to continue to hurt them.

Alice: Where do you get your figures from? Obama is leading in the polls and in the states that you Clinton naysayers were saying he wouldn't do well in all through the primaries.

He won and it is time to let it go. You and the hundreds of other sore losers are getting tiresome.

LOSERS!

TO ALICE...

HILLARY IS NOT THE NOMINEE...GET OVER IT PLEASE....

Let's hope Reverend Wright gives Obama a big hug on primetime TV. At least Cheney loves his country!

Let's hope the TV's also catch Obama's usual bored reaction to the playing of our national anthem. Will the US flags at the Democrat convention be replaced by the goofy "O" logo, like they were on Obama's campaign aircraft?

Obama = America hating empty suit.

Wow looks like all the other GOP members must be on vacation.

its just to get the zombies reved up.

Informed voter: You are so right , I only wish that Barack obama were more like me . Every time I had a rally I would start by showing pictures of McSenile and Geo. Bush hugging or Geo. bring McSenile a birthday cake to the airport in Arz. the day Katrina hit. Old , poor white women for Barack Obama .
Connie from Indiana

In another article:

"What I mean, instead, is that know-nothingism — the insistence that there are simple, brute-force, instant-gratification answers to every problem, and that there’s something effeminate and weak about anyone who suggests otherwise — has become the core of Republican policy and political strategy. The party’s de facto slogan has become: “Real men don’t think things through.”

In the case of oil, this takes the form of pretending that more drilling would produce fast relief at the gas pump. In fact, earlier this week Republicans in Congress actually claimed credit for the recent fall in oil prices: “The market is responding to the fact that we are here talking,”

HA HA HA HA HA – republicans are desperate.

Regardless of Cheney's presence, Obama is still not qualified or trustworthy enough to be President. Go McCain!

They should go all out and have Karl Rove introduce Cheney and have a hug fest with McSame....all on tape for the Obama campaign ad.....

Dick looks like poo in this picture!

Alice in Florida,
Stop your antics, we democrats have all decided to put our efforts together in order to elect Obama, and if you're a republican in disguise please stop disturbing us here.
There is no reason why we shouldn't vote Obama. This is the moment to come together, not the moment to separate

HAHAHAHAHA the fascist Cheney will give McBush a nice send off to a loser's obscurity. McBush will never escape the black shadows of Bush and Cheney and their henchmen.

Unfortunately I'll be at the Ron Paul rally instead.

I agree with We're NOT. He will more than likely speak to a fairly empty convention hall during some off time in hopes of getting it under the prime time radar. I doubt McCain will even be there at the same time as Cheney.

DARTH VADER RETURNS!!!

I didn't think that Cheney could be captured on film...I want a picutre of Bush and Cheney and McCain all standing hand in hand! Then use it as mug shots!!

Under the cover of darkness the dark one comes. He comes to lie and to tell more lies about the lies that he has told before.

Even Alabama Republicans distance themselves from Cheney. The only people excited about Cheney speaking at the convention are
Republicans with Kool-aid on their lips and every Democrat I know.

To paraphrase our national embarraser " Bring him on!".

Look at those chompers! How creepy! He looks like he eats people.

Just heard from RNC headquarters, Dick has the opening day 8:00 am slot! cool!

hehe hehe hehe hehe

I guess Cheney figures it will be even eaiser to pull McSame's strings.

Obama '08

Sounds good.

Best VP we've had in 40 years.

I thank God every day we didn't end up with Gore in the White House.

So much for last week’ fantasy news coverage. And it’s usual non-accuracy that we have come to expect from the progressive media..

Hooray for Cheney! His appearance will emphasize that McCain plans to continue nearly all the Bush/Cheney policies, which will be a boon to all of us who want America to take a different direction!

Same ol', same ol' – McCain can't stand it any longer – Karl Rove will be in the limelight by the end of the convention. Change, huh McBush?

Wanna bet Cheney will be McCain's VP? Or will he just continue to run the U.S. from home in Wyoming? Any way you look at it we are screwed if RETARDICANS win the White House again.

Maybe Cheney will be the VP nominee. That would be a mcshame/mcsame ticket

I am excited by the prospect of Darth Cheney speaking at the Republican convention. I think his approval rating is slightly lower than gonorrhea. Should give Obama a couple of points in the polls.

And to the HIllary supporters who are still hanging on to their bitter fantasy of a Hillary coup: a little history lesson- since 1968, every convention in which the party in question was divided led to defeat for that party. Every single one. Your candidate lost an 800 meter race with a 600 meter head start in terms of name recognition, political connections, a pre-existing campaign infrastructure, a popular ex-President campaigning for her, and just about every other advantage a candidate can have. And she still managed to blow it (and mismanage her vast financial resources enough to go broke three or four times). She ran a stupid campaign and she deserved to lose. Get over it. Or go suck your thumbs and vote for McCain like pouting little children- and reap what you sow if he wins. But this fantasy of a coup at the convention would not only guarantee a loss for the party, but would make your beloved candidate look like a self-absorbed monster. You can pretty much guarantee she would become radioactive in the party if she pulled a stunt like that. Grow up.

Yeah – bring back the Three Stooges (Bush, Cheney, McCain) back on stage to replay their own immortal words:

Cheney, March 16, 2003: "I'm confident that our troops will be successful, and I think [Iraq War] will go relatively quickly, ... Weeks rather than months"

Bush, 2008: "[US] troops could stay in Iraq for 50 years"

McCain: 2008: "Maybe 100 years"

I'm sure McCain will soil his Depends with MUCH JOY

I thought McCain was about change and was the anti-Bush? Is this more "straight talk" lies?

Every time Cheney smiles, a baby cries. This causes Cheney to smile again. It's a vicious cycle...

What an excellent idea! That ought to remind voters what the Republican party has done for our country over the past 8 years, including oil company profits and the unnecessary war. Bring him on!!

Oh this is priceless. LOL. Just when will the old curmudgeon speak? 3 am? Here's a question from Obama's as agency... "Will you guys give us some b-roll of the man with a 10% approval rating touting your candidate, or will we have to just pull those priceless images off network TV?"

In either case, guess what America will be seeing over and over for 45 days?

What the heck is the GOP thinking? Do they want McCain elected or not?

He must have just chewed the head off a chicken,hes smiling.

Maybe they told him it was just another hunting trip, and he'd get to take a shot at McCain – something Cheney surely wouldn't miss.

Two things-
Mabye this is why so many Republican incumbents aren't attending.
Thank God it will be his last appearance on the public stage in a position of power within the federal governement.

Cheney and Bush should both be in jail. they would be if Nancy Pelosi would do her job. What a waste of human skin she is.

Nothing like jealousy over Cheney. He has made more money and is smarter than most of us. Your immature attacks on him prove that point. I am not a fan of all that Cheney has done, but you can't knock a guy that is as successful as he has been. So go on back to your liberal hate mongering.

Good, let him speak, what can he do but hurt McSame. Anything
that will stop another puppet for BIG OIL from getting into the
Whitehouse and further ruining this country is welcome.

I feel so much better now! Will it be between 3:00 – 5:00 a.m. – on the last night of the convention ? Will MCCain allow himself to be photographed with Cheney, or will he throw Cindy at the charisma-challenged Vice-President? Stay tuned!

These guys have lied so much in the past eight years, that even THEY believe their own lies. They must have it in their heads that Americans are stupid enough to vote them right back into office again. (We made that mistake four years ago, I pray we don't do it again), but obviously this is why they would have Cheney speak at the convention, they really think we will follow them further down the path to ruin. Lets get rid of these guys once and for all, vote Obama !.
Obama '08

Are the secret service going to be there to arrest him and bush and mccain.

Maybe we could have him arrested for war crimes during his speech.

Bush is a bad enough public speaker but Cheney is one of the most boring public speakers ever on the national scene. Unfortunately, it's what he says and not how he says it that has gotten this country into such deep doo-doo for almost eight years! His appearance is one more reason I will NOT be watching the GOP's convention.

SO What, One more Thug to talk convention.

whatever ,alice in florida.that dog wont hunt.obama is the nominee.get over it.you lost.america won.

Bush and Cheney should both stand next too McBush while he's giving his speechs..birds of a feather

Good – let him speak. It will be good for Obama, the presumptive President.

Cmon on Hillary supporters, there is a ZERO chance she would win agaisnt McCain. Proof: she couldnt even beat Obama when she had 100s of more delegates and millions of more dollars. (in the begining)

Hillary supports – Please get over it!
It's not about you or its not about Hillary. It's about America.
We need a democrat to fix the mess up.

McSame is definitely 4 more painful years of McBush.

Please, be sane and start supporting Barack.

I wonder if he'll shoot a supporter in the face...

Having Satan speak at your convention is not good for you as a candidate. If I were McCain I would ask someone less offensive to take his place.

Who knows, perhaps they can summon the ghost of Jessee Helms and Jerry Falwell.

Kudos to VP Cheney. It is so humorous to see all the chicken's clucking on these comments about Cheney. No knowledge of history, just jumping on the hate Bush / Cheney bandwagon.

Wait 20 years, historians will show Bush and Cheney to have been just what America needed at the time to keep the world from being dominated by fanatic Islamists.

Is Dick campaining to keep his current job?
A dream ticket: McCain-Cheney.

People look up "Project for a New American Century" McCain is sooo mixed up in military global control with Chenney. It scares me to death!!! And I voted republican for over 50 years. NO MORE. My grandkids are not going into McCain draft and be in wars for the next 100 years just to keep people like Chenney and Rumsfeld rich and powerful. I'm sooooo sick of these people!!!

we will surely line up for blocks to hear this guy speak.could be his last public speech before going on trial.can you citizen's arrest a vice-president?4,000+ consecutive terms could be a very long time.....

"Cheney/Bush the Gift that keeps on Giving!!!"

Just like herpes.

You know, they call him Darth Vader because he looks like the dying Anakin Skywalker after he removes his helmet in the last movie. But he really should be called the Emperor, because he is the true mind behind the duo we call a presidency. Bush is Vader–he does what he is told and he is out in front acting like he is in charge. But Cheney has really been calling the shots, running the show. Cheney is an evil man who cares only for his flawed political paradigm.

The Republicans really need Bush and Cheney to remind the whole country about the worst administration that has been around for a long time and will soon be replaced, I hope they greet McCain with a lot of hugs and kisses, they all deserve each other. What a bunch of foolish old men!!!!

Make it a prime time speech with Cheny standing next to McCain!

Perhaps McCain will announce Cheney as head of his VP search committee, after which Icky Dick will announce himself as the most qualified candidate.

I thought McCain described Obama's ad showing McCain and Bush together as an attack ad? And he keeps going on and on about himself being a "maverick" and the straight talk express. Inviting Bush/Cheney to your convention won't do many favors for you, McCain.

He should speak at the RNC. He is the VP; he is a major leader in the party. Cheney and the [R] platform/policies go hand-in-hand, and thus he is the 'face' of the [R] party. Therefore, it is a telling indictment of their own party that many [R] don't want him to appear or talk at the RNC. Yes, he is the 'face' of the [R] party, and, as many of us already knew and some [R]s themselves are starting to see, it is a particularly ugly 'face'. But it is the 'face' that every [R] must see when they look in the mirror - those [R]s who deny it are delusional They used to be soooo very proud of it, now they can't wait to hide their 'face'.

Ever notice how if the [R] 'face' just grew a beard, it would look alot like Saddam Hussein in jail?

The McCain camp is hoping he can fool enough of you to get elected before you see, which you will all too late, that offshore drilling is all smoke and mirrors. His other plan is Nuclear Power which if you read is expensive, and though pretty safe, if something goes wrong it can be devastating. So who of us will have them by our homes and how much risk goes up with an additional 45 plants? This is another bad idea. I have 40 acres and I would love to put 20 acres of wind mills up but will not live next to a nuclear plant.
Obama wants to invest in wind, hydo and electric for cars, which we had years ago until big oil bought it out and scraped all the cars. Goggle it, it’s true. The electric technology was here years ago.
So let’s get off these party lines and talk about facts. Lets look, for a change, what would help all of Americans. Yes the rich will get taxed more, but keep in mind the break they have gotten for years with the Bush cuts. I worked manufacturing most my life and I can tell you the bottom line is all that matters when the day ends and giving money to companies to lesson burden of medical cost, saying it will trickle down to employees is just a straight out lie. I have had three of the plants close that I worked for. Three different companies, all having been in the US for more that 30 years. They are now in foreign countries and McCain is looking to expand NAFTA. I find it hard to rely on anyone to look out for my better interest that has never known what it is to need.
As far as the so called PUMA’s, McCain’s stance on many women rights issues would put you back decades. Just look at his recent actions with his wife and she’s a millionaire, how do you think he will respect you? The next four years are critical to the future of this country. At 43 I don’t think I have ever been more worried about this great country than right now, it is not about me or you, it’s about all of us.

Please read, get educated, learn facts and vote with your head and not party lines or lies.

No doubt ol' shootem-up Cheney will be taking "shots" at Obama!

Obama 2008!

Let's hope Cheney gives McCain a great big hug on primetime TV!

JUST film Cheyney at the convention and show it as your ad with the closing line by Obama:'And John McCain says I am responsible for the high price of gas...maybe he should talk to his good freind Dick Cheyney."

John McCain, the puppet of Bush and Cheney. What a shame. That's why he can only attack because he has no other ideas for the nation. He's a Washington insider whose been in congress too long. And he's too old to be president. I'm sorry. Why would anyone elect a man who has bouts with skin cancer. Too risky for me.

I hope it a prime time slot, complete with the Halliburton logo and McCain standing right next to him.

The Sith lord himself.

He needs to be arrested and charged with War Crimes, War Profiteering, Defrauding the United States Government, and Treason, to name a few.

A truly evil man, he walks in the footsteps of Adolph Hitler.

I hope he keeps it short and sweet or McCain is sunk. An "I'm Sorry" or two wouldn't hurt either.

Wow! That should boost the Republicans' ratings!

Yeah!!!!! McCflipl flop is in touch with his many side of the story. Mcflip flips will support you when he needs you vote, Mccflip flop is in touch when he pocket big oil money , Mccflip flip is in touch with his rich wife, Mccflip flop is in touch with bomb bomb Iran, McCflip flop is in touch with the economy when he said he has no idea about the economy, but now he is champion of everything, Johny, give us a break.
Drill drill ..............solution is not being touch, America can do better than drilling our land for nothing. Talk about what you know best...war war becuase you know "how to win wars" in touch.

Drill here drill there drill now. Of course McCain will drill everywhere in the country, destroy the land and it will not help the taste of our oil consumption.

McCain and those who think drilling here,there failed to realize is after drilling the country upside dwon it will only give us 3% of our consumption.

America consumed 25% oil the world oil, if McCain drill the country he will only find 3% of the oil.

25% -3%=22% dump a–s how does that help?

McCain and those who want to drill ofshore drilling should take 7 grader mathematical test.

Drill now , drill here , drill everywhere. McCain will

Employee democrats donated money to Obama and republican ceo donated to McCain there are differences between those 2 category.

Why no one can change your mind who to vote for, it is necessary to state the facts. becuase you have brain.

This will help Obama immensely. Thanks GOP!

Uncle Dick is coming to the family reunion. I look forward to pulling his finger.

to alice: give it up! take your meds...turn the record over.

Nobody wants Hillary except a bunch of hysterical looking woman that I can see from viewing that video of hillary agging them on. Get over it. Help her pay off her debt.

Hope hes wearing his best orange jumpsuit.

They must think they need the "Chief War-monger in charge" to deliver McCain's message of smear and fear which is all McCain has to offer this country.

I'm sure Cheney will be great at it. It's the only thing he was ever good at.

Make sure you've taken your Prozac if you intend to watch his speech.

Oh goody. Big oil supporter will be part of McCain's party at the convention. Hmmmm. One of the biggest crooks in this administration. Is Bush going to speak too? These are visuals that can sure be used against McCain.

Sick of the corruption

PRIME TIME, he should speak prime time so American can see one the henchmen that is directly responsible for 4,000 plus soldiers dying and $4.00 plus gasoline prices.

O/08

Actually the Republician National Convention is being held at the Xcel Energy Center and that is in St Paul, not Minneapolis. The comment above says "The convention will be held September 1-4 in Minneapolis-St Paul"

Thank goodness!

Cheney to the rescue!

I hope that makes all of you "PUMA" people so happy and pround.

I really despise this man. He ruined our country and should be charged for war crimes. I can't believe he is getting away with Haliburton, Iraq, and everything else he's had his greedy paws in. Bush was the "puppet," but he was the "puppet master."

With all the fawning of the media over Obama and the demonizing of Bush/Cheney and equating them to McCain, you'd think that Obama would have a huge lead and yet he and McCain are practically even. Thankfully, most people appear to be making up their own minds rather than listening to the media or radical libs.

Why wouldn’t he? He is running he campaign through his protégé.

So.......President Cheney will speak.

Wonder if his flunky puppet Bush will be there at his side.

Cheney should address the convention via satellite from an undisclosed location.

Is he bringing a shotgun?

So !
Darth Vader is going to speak !
Good news for the Democrats !

It's not to late! Nominate Hillary in 08!

I think McCain's camp made the right decision to invite him. Dick Cheney should open the convention with a snarky joke about how he shot his friend in the face, then belch the word "oil" into the microphone.

You can't have a Republican convention without Darth Vader.

Evil personified really ties together this year's theme of "we hate everybody except the richest 1% of white people".

"The Democratic Party can still save itself from another humiliating defeat by nominating Hillary at the convention. Sticking with Obama guarantees McCain being elected in November."

I'm sorry the presumptive nominee Clinton lost fair and square to Obama. Too bad she decided to be negative and the adulterous Bill decided to be racist. I'm sorry Hillary won states where Obama didn't campaign and was not on the ballot.

You Clinton supporters are the scourge of the Democratic Party.

Right Decision; few may argue other way, but the fact is, he is a VERY INTELLIGENT man!!!

Maybe we can have him charged with treason. Then put him in jail before the convention

Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and G.W. Bush are the best political team.
Sen. Mc Cain you may need them till November please use them but don’t use them after you win the election
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

Let's hope hunting season is not open.

Deadeye Dick is a liability for these villains. Maybe he relive his miltary service. Oops, I forgot. He had all those deferrals.

Great news!

As long as Cheney keeps showing his face around McBush, Obama's presidency becomes a reality.

That ought to be a good one. Why not have your partner in crime speak at your coming out party?

Torpedo right into McCain's sinking ship.

It's asolutely wonderful that John McWar is going to allow "the little man behind the curtain" tricky Dicky Cheney to speak at the GOP (Greedy Old Partisans) Convention.

Should be a great reminder to Americans for just exactly why it is that John McSame should not be allowed to serve as Bush / Cheney's 3rd term in the Whitehouse.

This should give Obama a big bump in the polls.

VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA...IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO !!!!!!!!

Won't that be a sight! Bush McCain and Cheney on stage in a little love fest!! They are all one in the same. Nice reminder GOP!

He's more machine now than man; twisted and evil.

Russia is attacking part of Georgia right now while the world is watching the Olympics. John McCain is calling on a UN intervention immediately. Barack Obama hasn't done anything. I imagine he's stammering around trying to quickly figure out what to do to appear ready to lead. But I guess he'll be our next president anyway (jimmy carter).

This guy is perfect for the Batman movies. He can play both the Peguin and the Joker.

BTW, bombs are flying in the old USSR and Lil Bush is watching a parade with his daddy.

The Republican party must be so proud, I'll bet the same idiots that voted for Lil Bush will all be voting for McSame.

--------------------------------

Not gonna happen Alice..there are a lot of Republican cross-overs who do NOT want McCain in the Whitehouse and will vote for Obama..they will more than make up for the PUMA idiots and bitter women like yourself who only want to see a woman in the Whitehouse not a democrat.

Quack,Quack. I mean Duck,Duck. Everybody loves Old Cheney.

EVIL MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Kim for getting that fact at the top of the ticker. I tried to post the same thing on that subject but it conveniently got erased. I guess the rest of the posters didnt bother to read the FULL article.

CNN= Trash TV, Jerry Springer style misleading headlines. Then they place the important information at the bottom because they no the idiots cant read that far.

Is Scooter Libby gonna speak, too?

Cheney/Bush the Gift that keeps on Giving!!! ... LOL

Yes!!!! I really like Cheney! He would have made a much better President than Bush!

That's good to hear. I don't care what any of you say about Cheney, I like him. And that coming from a chief Obama supporter. With Cheney, there is no ignorance and utter stupidity. There is only gangsta mentality. How many people do you know can shoot a man in the face and have that man issue a public apology for getting shot?! How many people do you know can go on tv and respond to a statement that the American people are tired of the war in Iraq and feel it's long past time to get out with one word: So. I'm not kidding here either. Hate him all you want, you know exactly where you stand with him. If I were an enemy of this guy, I would be very afraid. McCain could use him in all truth.

Cheney the "war criminal" to speak at the repugs convention? (He orchestrated the Iraq invasion with lies that killed 4,100+ American service men and women not to mention untold Iraqi civilians)

Cheney the "traitor" to speak at the repugs convention? (He took and oath to uphold the Constitution yet peed all over it in the name of "homeland security")

Way to go repugs – show your true colors with Cheney the "war criminal" and "traitor" speaking to the flock of all the other kool-aid drinkers. That will get the country to vote for Obama for sure...

Cheney, Why were all your energy meetings held in SECRET?????
McCain=Bush/Cheney
Birds of a feather..

I wish I was there so I can ask this loser why he was so eager to send my our brothers and sisters to war. This entire administration was a joke. But the sad thing is nobody's laughing but them.

Look at his face, he's happy. What about the rest of us.

That should be interesting...........just what the GOP needs......a speaker with honest arrogance and hypocritical humility......that is really going to help McCain.............one lies, the other swears to it...........vomit........vomit......vomit

The penguin is going to speak?

Good.......more to label McCain as one of the evil ones

Well, this should be fun. Get ya' pop-corn ready...

wow. can't wait – lol

Obama 08'

McCain this has got to be a mistake. Why don't you just Stand in front of the bus! Plain out Dumb on this campaigns part. To me this would be absolutly no different than getting Manson out and having him WARM up the crowd. You have got to be joking. Wheres the TYLENOL!

Dick Cheney and Georgia W. Bush should be tried for war crimes and then publicly hung and quartered....Both are despicable human beings, and they should have been stopped a long time ago. The fact that McCain would invite him shows that its gonna be the same old song and dance if McCain is elected...your generation is dead old man, there is no place left in this world for people like you.

Oh Goody....the puppetmaster speaking to the GOP puppets.

Alice, for god's sake, give it UP!

I am sure other McCain and other republican candidates that he wants 'work for' will want him at closed fundraisers but would not like to be seen in public with Cheney.

Cheney-the scary gift that just keeps giving. Wouldn't you love to see the records of his secret energy meetings with the oil barons? Oh, all the emails and records were accidently erased.

I am sure this is not McCains decision. He would rather have
Bush & Cheney take a vacation at the same time as the convention.

The Democratic Party can still save itself from another humiliating defeat by nominating Hillary at the convention. Sticking with Obama guarantees McCain being elected in November.

Of course – it's BushCheney all over again.

The top producers may favor Obama – but McCain has still pocketed more oil industry cash: $1.3 million, to Obama’s $394,000. The cash haul includes including McCain’s recent headline-grabbing advantage with Hess Corp., whose employees have donated $91,000 to the presumptive Republican nominee’s presidential bid, while giving Obama's just $8,000.

The industry’s support for McCain “shot up after the presumptive Republican nominee announced his support for offshore drilling,” CRP notes in the report, but “the trend started months before that.”

REALLY??????? This is news! Since just a few days ago it was said that Cheney-war-lies-fear-hate-divisive-monger would not speak nor attend.

I think the GOP realized the message they were sending............. 'we don't want to remind people of the Bush/Cheney disaster'.

Excellent. Hope to see much footage of Cheney hugging and kissing McCain.

Anyone wanna bet that he speaks in the early early afternoon before anyone is really watching any of the coverage? CRIMINAL!!!
