At least by those who want to keep America safe from jihadis rather than allow those who sympathize with them continue to occupy the Oval Office , Department of Justice, and Department of Defense.
A new group wants former Vice President Dick Cheney back in the White House.The organization - "Draft Dick Cheney 2012" - launched on Friday, and unveiled their new Web site. Their aim: To convince the former vice president to seek the Republican presidential nomination in the next race for the White House. But there may be a major roadblock to the group's pitch - Cheney himself.
"The 2012 race for the Republican nomination for President will be about much more then who will be the party's standard bearer against Barack Obama, the race is about the heart and soul of the GOP," said Christopher Barron, one of the organizers of the Draft Cheney movement. "There is only one person in our party with the experience, political courage and unwavering commitment to the values that made our party strong – and that person is Dick Cheney."
Am I jumping on the Cheney bandwagon? No, I'm not -- at least not yet. I see a number of other Republicans who are potentially serious candidates for the nomination who might bring with them the sort of strength of character and vision for American security that Dick Cheney has long enunciated in a clear fashion. But I think we do need to at least consider the possibility of nominating the former vice president -- and certainly listen to the ideas he has to offer. Otherwise we may end up with the unserious, unqualified, or unelectable.
