Good. 

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

Always gets in leiberals way.

Someone had to point out that the terrorists would have to have a held in a prison somewhere in the US?  And that constituents might not like that? Who would admit to having to be told that??  I want to meet that Senator.

"We were going to have to deal with this and to make it a political issue is not helpful. It's just not."

Seems to me the MSM had no problem with it being a politcal issue - up until Nov 5th, 2008 that is.

Krauthammer put the boot to Cummings pathetic leftist blatherings...and by the way Jeanne, Obama is the one that got this ball rolling, the buck stops there.

Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea. ~Andrew Breitbart

So it took Vice-President Cheney's enormous brain for democratics to realize that if the terrorists left Guantanamo, they might have to go somewhere else?

Where would our country be without this brilliant man Cheney?

"we the people" were there long before VP Cheney was forced to come out and defend himself and the Bush administration against the loud biased rhetoric of the liberal D's and the MSM:

ABC News/Washington Post Poll. June 12-15, 2008. N=1,125 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3. Fieldwork by TNS.
 
"The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that non-citizens suspected of terrorism who are being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, should be allowed to challenge their detentions in the U.S. civilian court system. Supporters of this ruling say it provides detainees with basic constitutional rights. Critics of the ruling say only special military tribunals should be allowed, because hearings in open court could compromise terrorism investigations. What's your view? Do you think these detainees should or should not be able to challenge their detentions in the civilian court system?" 
 
   
  Should       - 34%

 Should Not - 61%

 Unsure        - 6%

“Cheney really did damage to the effort to keep our country secure by turning this into a political issue."

She says this with a straight face?   Where has she been for the past nine years?

-- Dear sweet heaven what incredible insanity?? Is she reason dead?? Has she no common sense?? How do people come to think in such strange ways???

""The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind," he says. "When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious."

Let me get this straight Jeanne. The "d**k", Cheney, said closing Guantanamo is a bad idea and the democrat senate led by the "greatest and most excellent President evah" decided to abandon said president  and side with  the "d**k, Cheney? And you are mad as heck at Cheney for leading them astray. When you calm down you and the boys at CBS might want to ask yourselves this question. Why are we democrats so terrified of someone we supposedly consider a d**k? 

Oh, oh ... the next thing Cheney will do is suggest that legislators actually read the bills they are voting on, and consider the ramifications of what they are doing in passing legislation involving things like: alternative fuel subsidies, "Cap and Tax", Card Check, Illegal Immigrant Amnesty, and Socialized Healthcare.

Wow! Actually putting the facts out in the open for debate!

What a concept!

No fair, right libs?

“No, Cheney started making political arguments a week ago. That is when you did start to see the tide turn up on Capitol Hill. It was after Cheney started to talk about 'I don't want to be the Member who says I brought a terrorist to a jail in my district.'”

Wow!  You'd think those Dimocrats would have learned their lesson, after letting Bush mislead them into voting for his war, after letting the CIA mislead them about its enhanced interrogation techniques.  Now, they've let Cheney mislead them yet again about Gitmo!  Those poor, poor, befuddled Dimocrats.  Those clever Republicans have pulled the wool over their eyes again.  When will they every learn to think for themselves!  Boo hoo hoo.

"And that changed this debate in a way that has made it much, much harder to close Guantanamo, which the President is already committed to doing."

Good.  If that's the case, then it would appear that the ex-VP is doing more than our commander-in-chief to keep our country safe.

"Cheney started making political arguments a week ago."

No, Cheney made national security arguments.  Big difference, you pinhead. 

I'm just amazed that although we have had no attacks since 9/11, libs can claim - with a straight face - that Bush's policy endangered us, and that Obama will change those policies to protect us.

"CUMMINGS: Not hypnotized. Cheney hit a nerve. There's no doubt about it, it's a good political argument. It's a strong one."

But a good argument should never get in the way of something Obama wants to do, right?

 Or get in the way of doing the wrong thing, just because the right thing is actually . . . the right thing?

Thank heaven for Charles Krauthammer.

Oh! That evil Dick Cheney just messed up all the wonderful plans the TelePrez had for those poor abused prisoners at Gitmo! Gee, I never realized that the Commiecrats took their voting cues from a Republican whom they despise! I guess it shows that the job of POTUS is no place for "On the job training" to quote the present VPOTUS!

Keep it up Dick! The Messiah is coming unglued! His prompter had better not fail him now!
