Default Cheney: Mistake for GOP to Moderate

Cheney: ‘I think it would be a mistake’ for the GOP to become more moderate.

With only 20 percent of Americans self-identifying as Republicans, the
GOP is searching for a way forward. Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and
Olympia Snowe (R-ME), along with Colin Powell, have said the GOP must
move toward the center to expand its tent. In an interview with Scott
Hennen, a North Dakota radio host, Cheney declared that becoming more
moderate “would be a mistake“:

HENNEN: Some people are wringing their hands saying, “This is an
example of why the party needs to change, to hear the message of
Specter,” that, as Colin Powell said, the Republican Party needs to
moderate. Do you think the Republican Party needs to moderate? Is that
the message of the Specter defection, or the state of the party these days?

CHENEY: No I don’t. I think it would be a mistake for us to
moderate. This is about fundamental beliefs and values and ideas



Republican Fundamental Beliefs and Values:


Bash Gays
Profit from War
Torture
Deny Science
Destroy the Economy
Invade the Wrong Countries
Push Christianity onto the Public


That's right, Dicque Cheney...the way to grow the GOP is to offer up
more of the same failed bull****. You go, guy.
