If Liz Cheney Wants It This Way…

Liz Cheney and her father..

Am I the only one.. oh wait, no I am not.. your average earnest hard working American is really getting tired of the politics of 'sound byte' from both sides.
I talk to people all over the country every day, from all political ideologies, and my feeling is people are sick of the tit for tat mentality.

Mr Cheney knows good and well preventing an attack on American soil while you are in office is a mixture of good intel, hard work, dedication and luck. Ya, luck..

Seems to me when the largest attack ever in American history happened on our own soil during Mr Cheneys tenure at the White house, no one of reasonable mind blamed them too harshly for dropping the ball. In fact I jumped in with two feet and was actually quite pleased with the administrations initial responses.

It seems to me Mr Cheney's suggesting the Obama administration is dangerous and not guarding the country because he feels an on soil attack is somehow eminent is 'abstract' thinking at best, and partisan politics at it's worse. It is one thing to question, it is another thing to point fingers at an administration over something that hasn't happened, harder than his own administration received after something DID.

I believe Mr Cheney is playing dangerous partisan politics and his motivations less than sincere. While I believe he loves his country, I think he hates Mr Obama and is willing to sacrifice any political capital with his dignity left, to try and bring him down, which of course at this juncture would bring us all down.

Seems to me that with todays headlines that in the last two weeks we have captured incredibly high ranking Taliban officials, made a huge push in the largest ground assault since the initial occupation and as of a few hours ago air dropped special forces BEHIND enemy lines… it seems to me at a time like this, if Mr Cheney wanted to be particularly helpful, he would be on his knees asking God to give our present administration guidance, instead of showing up at any photo op he can grab to try and put a damper on such efforts.

It is a time of war, and I honestly believe Cheneys remarks EMBOLDEN outfits like the Taliban, they certainly don't discourage them any.

Yes, Perhaps mr Cheney, whom I have long admired, should shut the F up for a bit.. certainly he, nor any other administration in previous history, had an ex VP causing such a stink, grabbing at any spotlight our sound byte he can, to score his psychological/political points against the Obama administration. In fact I will say I have been quite shocked at Mr Cheney, after all, guys like me were saying the same thing when he was in office.. I was praying for his wisdom, not applying to the masses for his elimination.

This is a time of war and great economic woes, and we are all in this together, and to blame any one administration, or a brand new one, is trite, and Mr Cheney certainly knows this, but can't stop himself regardless.

Pity.

The regular people in this country are sick of all the partisanship and hatefulness coming out of Washington and are ashamed of what this country is becoming. Those old enough to recall seeing real bi-partisan agreements reached can't understand what is now happening. If everyone decides to elect only newcomers, if they have the same mind set there will be no difference so that doesn't make it better.

So, why do they keep getting non-Fox News soapboxes to spout hypocritical nonsense?
