Cheney Backs Rubio: He’ll Block Obama From “Restructuring Foundation Of Our Freedoms”
Not a huge shock, but Marco Rubio is getting the ultimate in conservative endorsements today: Dick Cheney, who threw his support to Rubio this morning. From Cheney’s statement:
“Our country is at a crossroads facing threats from abroad and attempts from within to restructure the very foundation of our freedoms. America requires leaders to face down these challenges who are confident in who they are and what they stand for. Leaders who know that public service is about something bigger than climbing the political ladder and amassing greater political power…
“We can trust Marco to stand up to the Obama agenda that threatens our freedom, and promote clear conservative alternatives…Charlie Crist has shown time and again that he cannot be trusted in Washington to take on the Obama agenda because on issue after issue he actually supports that agenda. Lately it seems Charlie Crist cannot be trusted even to remain a Republican. I strongly urge him to either stay in the Republican Primary or drop out of the race.”
It’s another sign that the Republican establishment is coalescing behind Rubio.
Also of note: Cheney claims that our country is facing “attempts from within to restructure the very foundation of our freedoms.” That echoes the emerging conservative line: That Obama is radically transforming America into something that is fundamentally un-American.
