Here is your Dick Cheney Democrat

Back when I created my MySpace page (yes, I'm THAT old), I half-jokingly, half-seriously described my unique mix of political views at the time as "I'm a Dick Cheney Democrat."

But I was absolutely sure I was the first person who had ever used the phrase "Dick Cheney Democrat", and likely would be the last as well.

But I just googled it, and apparently it's a THING.

I'm claiming credit for it.

Everybody stole the phrase from my Myspace page!

;c)

[MrPotatoTed]

Even one of Bill Clinton's top political advisors, Paul Begala, stole from my MySpace page! ;c)

Now it's going to be odd when the Democrats nominate Liz Cheney and the Republicans nominate Tulsi Gabbard...

[SilentLiberty]

Jaromir Gullach, the current two term Governor from Nebraska is seeking the presidency. He's put forth and signed both progressive and libertarian legislation as Governor. On both sides of his family he has grandparents who immigrated from Europe. Can this former men's college baseball coach turn his Governorship into the Presidency?

Blurb: Senator Dobs swings wildly between challenging conservative orthodoxy and throwing red meat to the base. Can the Senator, a self-avowed Goldwaterite, realize his diverse coalition and take the party into the future with a blast from the past featuring massive embrace of civil rights and free markets?

3. "Dakota Hale busted for spending campaign money at a strip club; though he claims it was for Charity... which is also the stripper's name" -1 momentum, maybe some sort of event inspiration for some social issue

This might need some fixing. I do not like this. Plus, some of PI players are young...

Note, I'm assuming you're making a humorous statement, that's why there's a laugh emote.

Laugh emote by me. I assumed it was meant (at least partly) to be humorous, and it was funny.
