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 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!

If Jo’s rumors are correct, the eager beavers will only have to mosey over to Clayton and ride up to the panoramic view of Versaille Palace - I mean, the St. Louis Club. I attended a reception there once and felt under-dressed in my rented tux. The only blacks in the place wear white waiter jackets. It’s a perfect Republican venue to be so far above public view hobnobbing with Cheney that it will take airborne news choppers to provide pictures. Those are pictures Peter Kinder doesn’t want you to see, since Cheney’s positive ratings are rightly in the toilet.

Two peas in a pod! Bringing Cheney in is like bringing in Satan to rally your cause! Peter Kinder continues to show his true colors of association. You continue to twist and distort the voting record of Sam Page who is one of the most honorable and decent statesmen in the state. I realize you have to throw mud, as it’s the quickest way to avert the attention on your own short comings, indifference, and your own alternative lifestyle.

Oh yeah, that’ll help Kinder. About as much as it helped Talent. Why on earth would any Republican campaign make such a suicidal move in an already challenging campaign season?

Despite the indoctrination of all the sheeple around me and after years of abuse by jews, I have vowed that I will fight jewish supremacists until the Earth is rid of their shadow.

Chris, it’s because Peter Kinder is a desperate bottom-dweller.

A desperate man for desperate times - there’s a slogan for Peter Kinder.

Dr. Sam Page is going to kick Peter’s You-Know-What back to his prior obscurity in CapeTown.

So, Vox(Hitler) are you serious or just some thirteen year old kid hold up in your mother’s basement typing really deranged blog responses?

Who would want that man campainging for them??? If I had thought about voting for Kinder, I would certainly change my mind.

willys,
Either way Vox needs serious psych help or to be locked up. I’d rather my tax dollars pay to lock Vox up than bail out millionaire’s on Wall Street.
Seriously, that man needs some help.

To Vox: “Don’t be stupid! Be a smarty! Come and join the Nazi Party!”
Jewish supremacy? What in the world are you talking about? No… please don’t answer that. Please unplug your computer, pack it up with the rest of you things, and move to someplace where your views are more accepted. Jörg Haider’s funeral is today in Austria, you might want to go there.

Dick Cheney’s appearance will be a good thing for Sam Page…

Sam Page is married to a former Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader, but I have never seen Peter Kinder’s wife. What is Mrs. Kinder’s role in the campaign?

Vice President Cheney is one of our country’s most experienced leaders having served as a former Chief of Staff to President Ford, Member of Congress, Defense Secretary and now Vice President. He is an accomplished, true conservative who deserves respect and not the lame partisan shots that echo the media’s resentment for such an effective leader.

Bill,
I think you responded on the wrong thread to my concern about Palin’s ethics violation. But I will respond here anyway.
I believe there is a lot to a report that suggests that while Governor Palin did not do anything illegal, she did allow undue pressure to be exerted on employees for her families gain. It does not need to be monetary. For a ‘reformer’ who is going to change the culture of Washington to already be doing this suggests she lacks political maturity.

BTW, you answer that she must have been such a reformer to have angered people in both parties is really creative but baseless. You should go work for the campaign.

Kinder also Rove in for a fundraiser. Kinder is just a keep it the same political hack he is toxic to our party. The only member of my party I MUST vote against. The list of his corruption is too long.

kirkland,

There is no Mrs. Kinder. He is an old bachelor. Because of that, and perhaps because of some other things, there have been rumors around the capital for years that he is, ahem, not interested in ladies. But since he’s GOP he can’t go public about it.
