republicans, is this helping, or hurting your party

Timeline: What Cheney's been saying lately (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30848903/)
Americans couldn't get Dick Cheney to say anything while in office. now, they cant keep him quiet. is he helping the cause? i see him as a bitter, same old views( that helped to contribute to some of the mess we are in) old politician. but maybe you look at it differently? thoughts?

I see him as defending their position and why is Obama holding on to the info we gained from waterboarding when he just released what torture was used? Maybe because people willl see it did infact save lives.

I say maybe Obama should tell Biden to keep his mouth shut.

first, you just spoke like a politician. meaning, you never answered the question

I guess it's not hurting our party:

CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - CNN Poll: Favorable opinion of Dick Cheney on the rise « - Blogs from CNN.com (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/05/21/cnn-poll-favorable-opinion-of-dick-cheney-on-the-rise/)

Is Cheney’s uptick due to his visibility as one of the most outspoken critics of the Obama administration? Almost certainly not,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “Former President George W. Bush's favorable rating rose six points in that same time period, and Bush has not given a single public speech since he left office.”

Right you are. That's the current administration's job now. :)

Also keep in mind that it could be a sign of some buyers' remorse on the part of those who voted for Obama/Biden.

If Cheney want's to speak, it's his right. Democrats shouldn't be vexed by his high profile, since he's so widely hated. And yet it seems to vex them anyway.

Not me, I love seeing him out there though if I was given the opportunity to perform CPR on him in an emergency I would decline.

I see Cheney's outspoken views on this as strengthening the party.

I can't see the logic in making the details of interrogation tactics used in Gitmo public. Doesn't that just give the enemy knowledge of what we're doing? You can train to handle those situations, you know.

I can't knock Obama for ending certain practices, that's his choice as president. But why make it public? What purpose does that serve?

Further evidence of the absurd bipartisan divide in this country. You're basically saying you'd treat a fellow American - of an opposing view - just as you'd treat one of America's enemies.

That's ridiculous and makes me sad to have you as an American.
