In last week's debate, a voter told Mitt Romney she's afraid of going back to Bush-era policies and asked for some reassurances. The Republican insisted, "President Bush had a very different path for a very different time," before noting several issues where his agenda is indistinguishable from George W. Bush.
The next day, the Romney campaign started featuring Condoleezza Rice on the trail. Today, it's Dick Cheney's turn.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney is headlining a fundraiser for Mitt Romney today at Dallas Love Field.
The GOP presidential candidate's son will also appear at tonight's private event, to be held at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field.
Also scheduled to appear are national GOP Chairman Reince Priebus, Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer and political pundit Glenn Beck.
Romney's son Josh will be on hand for the event, and Paul Ryan will appear via video.
First, I'm sure Team Romney will be glad to get the $2 million the fundraiser is expect to bring in, but Cheney's efforts don't exactly reinforce the notion of Romney breaking with his party's failed past.
Second, Glenn Beck? Really?

This story reminds me of a punchline, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."
Dakota Meyer! What a pitiful shame!
What an disgusting bunch, I thought Cheney was dead, definitely in the deaf pool right?
Cheney? Die? And go where even he knows he belongs? Nevah...no way in hell!
Cheney is there to give Romney pointers on how to start a war under false pretenses and then profit from it, like he did with WMD in Iraq and Haliburton selling weapons and services to the military. Romney probably has in his so-called "blind trust" some company that could profit from war, and you can rest assured that Romney cares only about personal profit.
Some people are so very anti-Obama that they haven't really even looked at Romney but will vote for him anyway. Romney has proven that he will not only change positions, but deny having held the previous position. If Romney wins, people who vote for him, relying on something he said, will find out like President Obama did in the first debate that jell-o cannot be nailed to a wall.
Yep, I bet Cheney and Romney had a good discussion about outsourcing war, and how to profit best from it.
Maybe Cheney will cut Robme in on some of the Billion's of cold hard cash that went missing in IRAQ
To paraphrase the words of Ms. Shuck and Jive: The Romney family paling around with Glenn Beck? and Dick Cheney?
Fright nite! Feel sorry for the person whose donored heart went to Cheney.
I think we can see the pink of the donor in his cheeks. What a wonderful thing for the donor to do, I hope Cheney appreciates it.
2ooo years ago, when the Teaparty/Taliban asked Jesus to shoot a woman in the head for disagreeing with the local patriarch, he respectfully declined, saying he felt it wasn't his place to come between another human and their Creator.
Today, John McCain, Kelly Ayotte, Todd Akin, Paul Ryan and company are certain they know better.
Divine Right has established their bona fides to make decisions for all Americans. With such divine intervention, why do mere mortals need to vote?
These characters...can we send in an exterminator?
The only way republicans can get elected is by lying, suppressing the vote and committing election fraud because if they were truthful about their agenda, what they are really trying to do...they would never win an election. The nation would not stand for it...this is why republicans are un-american. Our democracy can only survive or thrive by getting modern republicans out of government.
I have no problem with Dakota Meyer appearing at this GOP fundraiser the day after appearing on Jon Stewart's Daily Show. His example and message should be bi-partisan in the first place. Kudos to him for not being pigeonholed.
Cheney and Beck on the other hand...
I don't care what the story is about. I just want to hear Rachel say "Reince Priebus" a few times.
Makes me think of an Proboscis Elephant Seal http://www.oceanlight.com/lightbox.php?x=elephant_seal_proboscis__pinniped_anatomy__pinniped__animal
So, the Colin Powell endorsement of President Obama based on Rmoney's foreign policies being a moving target. Sensible General Colin Powell, former Sec. of State knows something about foreign policies.
We know the RW wants an empty suit with enough working digits to sign whatever they put in front of him. That's a repeat, admitting they want an actor/puppet. They should not be so anti-Muppets, then. They LOVE puppets and pawns. People are being misled and used as pawns. "Off with their heads" said the Red Queen. Are we on a recurring nightmare or an acid trip? Hope it will end soon.
Becki, oh my! Just the thought of him barking like a crazy man leading people into crazy land.
Did they forget to invite Rush Limppaw?
It shouldn't be a surprise that Romney, Beck, Prebus and Cheney are together. Maybe they plan to put their heads together and make a rock pile. Bain Capital/Thomas H. Lee Partners, AKA, Clear Channel owns 866 radio stations and networks which represents approximately 90 syndicated radio programs serving 5,800 radio station affiliates. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity are the star right wing extremist talkers in their stable. Check it out on www.freepress.net/ownership/chart
Beck-The butt cheek's.Priebus- The midget butt crack.Cheney- The big Butt hole.
Oh, and by the way, if Dick Cheney needs another heart Medicare will pay for it -- just as they paid for this current one.
Well, Medicare ain't all bad now, is it?
Where is the fear and trembling? How can we forget the countless American lives lost, destroyed, and harmed by the people that Romney is seen with who took us into three wars - Desert Storm, then the futile search for wmds, and needless, futile Afganistan? Where is the horror and fear about the American lives lost, as well as the Iraqi and Afganistans?
Where are the true Christians who do not deny their faith to support a candidate? The Bible says, ". . . that you were hot or cold . . . luke warm, I will spew out . . ." How can preachers (Graham & Osteen) pretend that Mormonism is Christianity? The answer is we are told not to yoke with unbeiievers, so these people are attempting to lead folks astray! My prayer, Rachel, is that God forgives us and delivers us from ourselves - from the race bating, the plutocratic influence, and our own choice of amnesia!
Steve Benen writing on the Maddow blog invoking Glenn Beck's name. Really?
Steve Benen writer for the Maddow blog, invoking Glenn Beck and Dick Cheney's names. Really?
Surely the Dems can find a photo with Dick, Condi and W to post alongside one with Dick Condi and Mitt. Maybe the visual will resonate with some low info voters.
If Romney was running against Bush, Bush would win.
Bush lied most of the time and Romney lies all the time.
I just wish Rachel M. would get her poll numbers right, they r wrong kind of sound like fools & friends please Rachel!
Dick.
I think this is the last time GOP gets any "religious vote" due to the backwards notion denying homosexual marriage and outlawing abortion are actually good ideas, in spite of the fact all know Jesus and God are love, and laws like these are certainly not showing love. Not to mention separation of church and state and the cost (can you say "flood of unwanted orphans?"). Religious people and catholics like me are smart enough to know gay marriage and abortion bans are about nutjobs like this Beck freak forcing thier religion onto suffering and helpless citizens who do not even share his beliefs.
there are two things you need to look at here. obama is a socialist. which is, frankly, not quite what capitalism thrives on. or what our country was founded on. this is demonstrated by redistribution of wealth, and the advocation of laziness hence large pay to the poor for doing nothing, and encouraging them to do NOTHING. and the taking from the rich, who WORKED for their money and giving it, again, to the ones who just cry about not having enough money to work at mcdonalds and work their fiscal empire up, enough to go to community college and do somethign with their life.
secondly, when romney tells us that we should go to war, he is right. i don't want to sound sarcastic here, but if you want to read FDR's, perhaps the greatest president ever, four rights, you will learn that it SHOULD be every human's right, regardless of their country or government, to be guaranteed freedom of expression, religion, and freedom FROM FEAR, and freedom from want. when an enemy country, which, let me emphasize again, DOES NOT LIKE US, and has potential NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES, it would be more benificial to the PLANET, to delete them as a threat, rather than save what little money we have to just prolong the inevitable. life, and freedom, is more important than an economy.
and for those of you that think our dearly beloved president was brilliant to say, "well governer, we also have less horses and bayonets than we did in 1916" he was ignorant and immature. FIRST OF ALL, EVERY COUNTRY HAS LESS HORSES AND BAYONETS IN THEIR MILITARY. obviously, those things are insignificant compared to ships like romney said we should have. surprisingly, obama just left us with another stupid comment that these idiot democrats listen to. you may think the debate was a tie or that obama won, but all you listen to is muffled lies, and idiotic rhetoric. you need not think about the economy. if you implement the ideals that our founding fathers had for this country, our country will once again be great and powerful.
