I think he'd probably shoot his own face if he had to make that choice, he seems pretty stubborn.

Ron Paul,

Cheney is still a Neocon, but he is demonized and exagerated here quite a bit. He is not to bright like most hardcore Neocons. Never the less he would support a freedom candidate over a socialist/facsist.

I don't think so. Cheney and Obama are both progressives who love war, Ron Paul is a constitutionalist and non-interventionist...that is a stark contrast.

He'd choose Obama for sure since he's Hawkish.

I think Cheney would choose Obama since they are related.


Lynn Cheney, the US Vice-President’s wife, said she discovered the improbable connection between the African-American Democratic presidential candidate and her husband while researching her ancestry.

Mr Obama - charismatic anti-war son of a black Kenyan goatherd and white Kansan mother - and Mr Cheney - immensely powerful and very white Bush administration hawk - are eighth cousins, Mrs Cheney said.

The Vice-President’s wife said the two men shared an ancestor, a 17th century immigrant from France named Mareen Duvall.

Cheney would choose O"bomb"a to keep his war machine going.

Nah I don't buy it. Trust me I am no fan of Cheney. But almost every conservative fancies himself a Reagan conservative even today. Cheney could not hop in bed with Obama. For sure he would hate Ron Pauls anti-war stance but would go along with him if he had to choose.

:eek: The CFR wants to re-define sovereignty (http://www.cfr.org/publication/9903/sovereignty_and_globalisation.html). Ron Paul works to return sovereignty. While you might choose Ron Paul, Dick Cheney is instrumental in keeping libertarians out of leadership roles.

And in what way did I support Cheney here? I mean let's just be honest, and deal with reality. Cheney is what he is, I am not going to exagerate what he is just to condemn him. I think what he does already does this quite adequately.

Also, from the link:


The other day one of Cheney’s top aides, Cesar Conda, issued a statement to Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol, and other “nation security conservatives,” warning them that Rand Paul (Ron Paul’s son, who is currently running for the Senate in Kentucky and shares many of the same positions on foreign policy as his father), was “not one of them.”

You are welcome to support whomever you wish. I simply assumed that you would support Ron Paul.
As far as honesty and reality; Is the youtube video of Cheney, or the link to the CFR page not real or honest? Where is the exaggeration?

Dick Cheney would definitely choose Obama because of his foreign policy. The foreign policy is sooooo important you know. We gotta keep those wars going so we're all safe.
