RAW DATA: Text of Dick Cheney's National Security Speech at AEI

[Bobcat]

C d C .... I agree ... and also slightly disagree . We need to elect true Conservatives , be they Repubs , Dems or Libertarians . From what I`ve seen recently , a lot of Republicans act like anything but Conservative . Better yet , maybe we need some real Federalists in power .
Yes , I think once the people wake up , the you know what will hit the fan . I only hope it isn`t too late for my Republic .

True - Conservative Republicans, not just Republicans.

As for Libertarians, I suppose that is possible locally.

As for Democrat (Conservatives) - can one be found?

I find myself more and more inclined to not be a Republican. On the other hand, I believe that the Republican Party has the only shot at stopping the madness.

Agreed.

There are no "Conservative" Dems, meaning down the line Conservative. There are Dems that will support 1 or two traditionally Conservative beliefs. It's not uncommon to see a fair number of Dems support gun owner rights. Lots of blue collar "working class" union workers own firearms.

If the party of John F. Kennedy still existed today as the Democratic party the Democratic party would be less of a threat to the traditional values of this country. That party is no more and they are putting our country at risk. The hippies of the 60's are now in charge and they are no different now than they were back then.
