Former VP Cheney backs Whitman in Calif. gov race

Source: Mercury News

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Former Vice President Dick Cheney has endorsed Meg Whitman in the Republican gubernatorial primary, saying she can do for California "what Ronald Reagan did for America."
Cheney's endorsement came in an op-ed column published Sunday in the Orange County Register. In it, he said the former eBay chief executive is the only candidate in the race with the leadership skills needed to turn around California's economy.

"America cannot afford to have its largest state teetering on the edge of financial collapse," Cheney wrote. "California needs a proven executive who has the mettle to stand up to the entrenched special interests in Sacramento and cut spending."

Specifically, he praised Whitman's commitment to enacting tax cuts for businesses, reducing the pension benefits of state government workers and reforming the welfare system.

Run up a huge debt, lie, sell arms and funnel to the money to terrorists?

...is still Treason.

Let's hope it's the kiss of death after she spends a shitload of her fortune.

ebay sucks too!

This isn't gonna help the E-Baying Buffoon much.

Cheney is about as loved in CA as a never ending El Nino would be.

When I heard he'd endorsed her, I figured it was probably not something she'd want to brag about, outside the staunchest, 2x4-up-the-ass, burn-in-hell republi-CONS. That won't win her any fans outside that narrow little circle.

Btw - Hi Johnny!!!

:hi:

And Welcome to DU!!!

all we need here in Cali is another wingnut supporter for her and she's toast. Ummmmmmmmm, I think she toast already - LOL

now I know who NOT to vote for

using the ebay feedback form, showing who gives her 5 stars

IF Brown uses this endorsement to his advantage

....hey dickie, we're all 'teetering on the edge of financial collapse' because of you and your chimp....

....what makes you think America, or California, needs more repug scum like you at the helm?

"...stand up to the entrenched special interests in Sacramento and cut spending."

....no, "stand up to the entrenched corporate interests in Sacramento and raise corporate taxes."

From the ads...I thought that Steve "Poison Racist" Poizner, was the real racist...Now
seems that Meg "NegAd" Nit-Whitman is the REAL hater.

...she got the endorsement of Satan himself.

p.s...

Dick said, "saying she can do for California "what Ronald Reagan did for America."

Isn't that..."what Ronald Reagan did TO America?"

:rofl: Ooooooooooo....the Cha-nee magic is gonna rub off on her now!

Look, I live in Oklahoma so almost everyone I know is a conservative, but the point is that nobody likes her. Anyone who knows anything about her hates her. That's how out of control the republican party is that the leadership would support a woman that almost everyone hates. Of course, this is all good for us.

If I were Whitman, I'd never get over the shame. Never.

Floats to the surface like a corpse

They're both smearing each other as being a "liberal", hanging out with Pelosi, being best buddies with Obama, being "pro-illegal immigration", etc. It's a bit amusing.

Poizner has now unleashed what I think is his best attack point, and that is that Whitman didn't bother to vote for 28 years for anyone or anything.

Too bad they both can't lose.
