Ron Paul to Dick Cheney, “Shut up!”

Rate: 6 Flag

Ron Paul, probably the only true conservative left in the Republican party, has publicly said Cheney should put a sock in his criticism of the Obama’s efforts in the war on terror.

"I think he had his eight years, and he's caused a lot of trouble for our country and perpetuated a war in Iraq unnecessary and wrong-headed," said Paul. "I would say it would be best he not be so critical right now."

 

Gee, ya think?

 Politically I disagree with just about everything Paul says (except his anti-Iraqi war stance), but I have to give the man a big old “Atta Boy” on this one. Just don’t any invites to hunting parties with ol’ Dick, Ronnie, OK?

Side note: I think I’ll start a betting pool on how long it takes for the Republicans to run Ron Paul out of the party. Paul obviously isn’t going to toe the party line, and we all know how Republicans feel about that!

Nice to see some dissent on the right.
I'll give him an "atta boy" right with you for the same reasons. Actually, maybe Ron should organize the hunting party. "Oops, sorry Dick, no rifle for YOU... Say, would you mind flushing the birds out of the woods for us? Nudge nudge, wink wink! =o)
What Ron Paul said! Dick Cheney has been, for the last ten years, the scariest man in America. It's high time more people in influential circles told him to just shut up and go back to Wyoming and shoot something.
Now if the Dems would only start getting more vocal. I'm not seeing much rebuttal. Are we getting swift-boated again?

This is a positive thing, if there can be such an animal in this climate. A very positive thing.

And I can at least tell my libertarian teabag friends that I agree with one of their heroes about Some Thing!
Undertow, yes, it is nice to see some righties finally standing up to the neo-cons

Shiral: LOL! That would be awesome! "Here Dick, put this target on your back..."

Jeff: I’m not sure who is scarier, Karl Rove or Dick Cheney. I wouldn’t tell Dick to go shoot something, we know what happened last time he did….

John: Yes I think there has been a deliberate attempt to swift-boat the War on Terror. I’m glad to know that there are some who are not falling for it this time.

ConnieMack: Yes you can tell your friends that you agree with one of their heroes! Hee!

Thanks for all the comments!
Beckster: Amen! Like I said, I disagree with Paul on just about everthing else, but, on this one tiny little thing, I'll go with it!
