Last week, Dick Cheney criticized President Obama for his indecision on the troop increase in Afghanistan. The former vice president said that the Obama was ‘dithering‘, and needs to move forward with the troop enlargement. This weekend, on CBS’s “Face The Nation“, John McCain (R-Ariz.) was asked what he thought of Cheney’s comments. ”I wouldn’t use that language” said the former presidential candidate. There seems too be two Republican parties; one that is filled with bitter who criticizes every move Obama makes, and the other is occupied by more moderate, independent conservatives. There needs to be an overthrow in power in the Republican party; the moderate conservatives need to take charge, or else the party does not stand a chance in the 2012 elections.
Personally, I would love to see someone like Newt Gingrich or Olympia Snowe run for president. Either one of these strong politicians would prove a strong opponent to Obama. It won’t be long before we’ll be hearing those announcements to run for president; Tim Pawlenty has already given some hints for his 2012 bid. The Minnesota governor came out earlier today, criticizing the president. He also has announced that he will not run for reelection.
Hopefully we’ll soon see where the Republican party is going, and whether it will hold any substance in 2012.
