Cheney Not Backing Down
This little catfight that Nancy Pelosi is trying to start with Dick Cheney is beginning to get tiresome.
Pelosi, like a spoiled child, threatened to complain directly to President Bush. She said Cheney's remarks that the Democrat plan to place restrictions on the troop surge will ultimately make al Quada and its supporters the winners in Iraq "question" her patriotism and "mischaracterize" her position on national security. Well, how long did she think she could keep trying to fool us?
Question: Why is it that every time they are criticized, the Democrats whine that their patriotism is being impugned? Answer: Because it deflects the argument away from that actual issue that they don't wish to discuss in the full light of day.
Cheney, to his credit, won't roll over and play dead.
During Friday's interview in Sydney, Cheney said, "I'm not sure what part of it is that Nancy disagreed with. She accused me of questioning her patriotism. I didn't question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment."
He also said, "I'm not backing down." Which is, of course, why I love the guy. He says what he means.
Come on, Nancy, grow up and get some spine. If you whine and cry every time someone says something unflattering about your policies, what the heck are you doing in politics? For someone who no one "messes with," you sure can't seem to handle a bit of heat from the other side of the aisle.
I suggest this sign be hung up
in every room in the House.

Posted by: Pam at February 23, 2007 02:27 PMWhat Cheney did or didn't do during Vietnam has less than nothing to do with this issue. Nice try at changing the subject there, Steve.
Pelosi is trying to have it both ways - defunding America's military in order to obtain a defeat while pretending to "support the troops." Cheneys' calling her on her BS and she doesn't like it. And is whining like a little bitch, trying to change the subject of the real issue. And silence her critics. Both of which are right out of the Democrat playbook.
You're right, Pam. For someone who is such a supposed badass "strong woman," Pelosi sure is acting like a bad stereotype.

no.

Sounds like he's backing down to me.
