Topic: GOP...Down the Drain

Charlie: Cheney is not the one to blame for the GOP going downhill. I was a Republican all of my life until I saw the light. The GOP has changed so much in the last several years that it is hard to recognize it as the same party of yesterday. I got out when it was starting to go downhill. It will continue to scramble for money, new voters and will stumble for a new breath.

Chairman Steele, addressed the 2009 State Chairman's Meeting on May 19, 2009. He focused primarily on the fact that the Republican Party has "turned the corner".
The only corner the GOP has turned has no definition in the political process. Someone needs too recognize that the GOP needs to change and become a party for all the people. Not just the Christian Right agenda.

WASHINGTON — Dick Cheney refuses to be a has-been.

The former vice president's voice appears to carry even more weight than it did in the waning days of the Bush administration.

Some people want him to be quiet and disappear. Others are cheering the public relations tour that Cheney began halfway through President Barack Obama's first 100 days, defending the Bush administration's harsh interrogation tactics and other anti-terrorism policies.

Vice presidents typically fade away quietly.

Not Cheney.

Cheney had his better years in office.  He needs to hang it up and quietly fade away like a good boy.
