Cheney Tells NY Republicans That McCain Will Win

2008_05_cheneynyc.jpgVice President Dick Cheney told Republicans gathered at the midtown Sheraton NewYork Hotel and Towers last night, "If we all put our shoulders to the wheel between now and November, I'm confident we'll see John McCain as the next president of the United States.''

Cheney was in town for the NY State Repubican Party fundraiser (700 people at $1,000/plate!), and he took the opportunity not to mention former press secretary Scott McClellan's book but to bolster Senator John McCain's campaign and tout the Bush administration's success with the war on terror, "Now that we've gone more than six and a half years without another 9/11 is no accident."

Also at the dinner was Rudy Giuliani who, per Fox Embeds, "jokingly noted that this was the most Republicans he had seen in Manhattan in a long time." He also said, "As far as I am concerned if Barack and Hillary can keep fighting until November I mean what do we care, right?"

And then, to prove his point, he crushed a small kitten with his bare hands.

turd or not, McCain looks to be the only option even for the democrats.

oh the reluctant war hero maverick, yada yada. McCain is a joke... a total Joke, the guys face is falling off, vote Bush-McCain come november and you've bought into all the nay-saying bs... I'm all for seeing him go up against Obama, young whipper snapper will take McCains soggy pants and show him for the shriveled up crank that he is. Yea Obama's black and a ton of people won't vote for him... but man the guys got a chance... screw the naysayers, go Obama.

"Now that we've gone more than six and a half years without another 9/11 is no accident."

Yeah, because now there are conveniently placed troops throughout the Eastern Hemisphere to blow up; why put in all that effort to hike over here when there's targets right on top of you?

"Cheney Tells NY Republicans That McCain Will Win"?
Well, he's been correct on so many things, right??
Yeah...

Agreed, S.D. I was just thinking how nice it would be if Cheney was as delusional about McCain as he was about Iraq. Let's hope it'll be a real "shock and awe" campaign.

Those flags seem quite large.. trying to compensate for something?

NYS Republicans should believe everything Dick Cheney tells them. In fact, they should hire him after he leaves office to chart their path for the next 50 years.

Spirit, I hope that there's no "shock and awe" but rather a demonstration of the same visionary and competent leadership shown in the months after the military victory. :-)

Funny, since 8 years elapsed between the 2 WTC bombings.....
