Cheney slated to campaign in Missouri for Kinder, et al

Veteran scoopster Rudi Keller with the Southeast Missourian reported this interesting tip today:

Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to be in Missouri later this month to stump for Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, after making a stop earlier in the day in St. Louis.

According to Keller, Cheney’s visit is slated for Oct. 20. He’s to headline a fundraiser for Kinder at the Cape Girardeau home of lawyer David Limbaugh.

Another source told me that Cheney’s local event in the St. Louis area is to be at the St. Louis Club in Clayton.

The vice president’s Missouri stop would be almost three years, to the day, after his last visit to St. Louis. Cheney headlined a fundraiser on Oct. 21, 2005 in Frontenac for former Sen. Jim Talent, R-Mo.

If anyone has any details, please pass it on!

Kinder is truly desperate if he’s falling back on the crooked lying Dick Cheney to raise money.

In a time of economic turmoil are people really going to pay to go see Dick Cheney? If so, please provide me with the guest list, I have a car I want to sell them!

I say go for it! I’ll even pay your way in.

You’re not a lawyer are you? This VP shoots back!

I hope the vice president’s daughter Mary Cheney attends and helps Peter Kinder raise money. She is a heroic figure to me, being an out lesbian in a wing-nut party that generally shuns gays and lesbians and relegates them to Log Cabin Repubublican-land somewhere in the parking lot behind the ballroom. If Peter Kinder would bring in Mary Cheney, it would tell me a lot about his willingness to really reach across the aisle in tolerance and grace.

It is regrettable that Dick Cheney will be here to raise money for Kinder. Lt. Governor Peter Kinder has demonstrated that he is a truly independent leader who cares deeply about all Missourians. V.P. Cheney comes to town with too much baggage, and that is a distraction to Kinder’s campaign. But I suspect Cheney will help to raise substantial funds for Kinder, and we all know that money is the mother’s milk of politics.

Rolley, tolerance and grace are two attributes alien to Peter Kinder. I appreciate where you are coming from, but when he was a state senator, Peter Kinder led the charge to battle same-sex marriage. I suppose he is afraid of commitment - the kind of commitment that has many same sex couples staying together when so many heterosexual marriages wither and end in divorce. Maybe a smart reporter will ask Peter Kinder about his intolerance and mean-spirited legislation that disenfranchises tax-paying, law-abiding, contributing citizens who happen to love someone of the same gender. They should ask it with Dick Cheney standing there as the father of a lesbian woman who is in a committed relationship. Oh, that’s right, the media will probably not be allowed within five miles of this Bush-Cheney-Blunt-Kinder event. Peter Kinder will take money raised by Dick Cheney but he is as terrified of being seen in public with Dick Cheney, much less stand for questions along side Cheney, as he is fearful of law-abiding gay couples.

Richard, apparently reformers like Palin make enemies in both parties. Powerful Republicans in Alaska must be very mad at Sarah for this report to come out three weeks before the election. Really, there isn’t much to it. The Palins were trying to get a cop fired who had threatened their family.
No financial gain was involved.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. Cheney’s approval ratings are at like, what, 2 percent? This is what tone deaf looks like. Please, every Republican candidate in Missouri, race down to Cape Girardeau on Oct. 20 and hitch your wagon to Darth Cheney, and be sure to send a press release to Jo. You’ll want everyone to know whose coattails you are riding to victory!
