can't wait for this walk.
I can't but think what Andrew Sullivan said on Chris Matthews Sunday show: "He is afraid." Although, at first I didn't understand; afraid of what? Who would think of indicting at former Vice President (besides Spiro Agnew).
Well, then I remembered Richard Nixon. Dick Cheney needs the Republicans - all of them. And you can through in some Democrats too.
They are all as guilty as sh..t.
The low taxes he speaks of, he might as well add, that the only thing he thinks should be supported from them is war and the pay checks and pensions of those warmongers.
So Cheney is not 'walking back.' Cheney is defining the Republican party to be something that allows him to say whether Powell is a Republican or not. That's the Tao Of Cheney: Keep power in all things.
I read your post with great interest. He understands that there is other modes in the Republican Party - but he still will not bow to expanding the Party.
I think you are right, (excuse the pun) he still thinks he is the one who defines who is a Republican, and who is not. So, he is still with the likes of Limbaugh, and his ilk.
Our wonderful Nation has changed, and have assimilated so many cultures, and these tired old poops (sorry) just don't get it. They are angry that they are losing, and that they have become irrelevant
Nothing in history is more certain than change. No empire lasts forever... no majority remains a majority forever. From one century to the next, the great powers come and go, gaining and losing dominance. It is a constant ebb and flow, and there's no reason to believe that we can stop it.
The United States of 2050 will not look like the United States of 1950... and no amount of whining and carping by angry old white males will change that.
