No Cheney for CIA/NSA head. If we don't just kill the CIA and fold it into the Defense Dept.

And yet, the mere fact that Cheney's name is being mentioned for 2012 by a wide range of highly reputed conservatives provides a window into the current mindset of the Republican Party - so wedded to the posture of national security strength that it would consider turning to someone with such obvious political flaws, not to mention another aging white male.

Its another sign of their desperation.......they are returning to what they think works instead of trying to move forward.

"The Republican Party today consists of people who are conservative, religious, white and predominantly male," said Stephen Wayne, a political science professor at Georgetown University. "And, you know, if those are the only people who participate and you don't have a lot of other very conservative candidates it is conceivable Cheney could win the Republican nomination. But I don't think it is likely."

I hope he wins the GOP nomination. He would be better than Palin.
