Dick Cheney: 'I worship the ground Paul Ryan walks on'
Source: Politico

Former Vice President Dick Cheney doesn’t want Paul Ryan to run for president — he likes the House Budget chairman too much.

“I worship the ground the Paul Ryan walks on,” Cheney said Wednesday during a rare public appearance, the Houston Chronicle reported. “I hope he doesn’t run for president because that would ruin a good man who has a lot of work to do.”

Support for Ryan’s budget plan, which includes an overhaul of Medicare, has become an early litmus test for the GOP presidential field. The plan was also a definitive issue in the special election in New York on Tuesday, where Democrat Kathy Hochul won one of the most Republican-friendly congressional seats in the country. Democrats have heralded that victory as a sign that Americans oppose Ryan’s plan.

That ringing endorsement should put the Ryan budget plan right over the top! Not.

9. Could have his sights on 2016
That would give him enough to build political capital, though after the "kill Medicare" proposal he has a lot of catching up to do.

Edited on Thu May-26-11 08:44 AM by AlbertCat
You go Cheney!

Here's the tag line for all Dem ads:

Ol' "19% approval rating" Dick Cheney worships the ground "throw grandma under the bus" Paul Ryan walks on.


And isn't Ryan considered a hunky hunk on the Hill? Cheney "worships" him?

Totally "EWWWWWW"!

19. Easy for him to
support Ryan's plan isn't it. With all the medical problems he has at least he is coveraged proabably free thru the government since he is an ex vp of America.

Can you image if he had to rely on Ryan's plan? I don't think he would be living right now and if so he and his wife would be living with one of their daughters trying to survive or living on the streets b/c he would have a huge medical debt. Oh wait, most insurance companies refuse people with pre-exiting conditions. Than Chenney would be "f'ed"

These people don't have any shame. They just don't give a shit about anyone unless you got "lots" of money.
