Cheney: I’d take Limbaugh over Powell as GOP member
by David Edwards and Jeremy Gantz
Link to ArticleEndorsing a Democrat is no different from becoming a Democrat, according to former Vice President Dick Cheney.Appearing on CBS’ Face the Nation Sunday morning, Cheney said that he thought Colin Powell had left the Republican Party by supporting Barack Obama for president last year. Bob Schieffer had asked Cheney who he’d prefer as spokesman for the GOP: Rush Limbaugh or Colin Powell.
Powell has said that Republicans need to move to the center and that Limbaugh diminishes the party by injecting nastiness into public life. Limbaugh has responded that Powell is “just another liberal” and should become a Democrat. Choosing between the two men is apparently easy for Cheney, despite the fact he worked alongside Powell for four years during the first Bush administration.“If I had to choose in terms of being a Republican I’d go with Rush Limbaugh,” Cheney said. “My take on it was Colin had already left the party. I didn’t know he is still a Republican.” Powell’s endorsement of Obama, Cheney said, was “some indication of his loyalty.” These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
