Beware the man with nothing to lose.
Don’t get Capitol Hill Republicans wrong; they love Dick Cheney.
More specifically, according to The Hill, they’d love to see him retire rather than take the lead in criticizing Barack Obama:
Congressional Republicans are telling Dick Cheney to go back to his undisclosed location and leave them alone to rebuild the Republican Party without his input.
Displeased with the former vice-president’s recent media appearances, Republican lawmakers say he’s hurting GOP efforts to reinvent itself after back-to-back electoral drubbings. …
Rep. John Duncan Jr. (R-Tenn.) said, “He became so unpopular while he was in the White House that it would probably be better for us politically if he wouldn’t be so public…But he has the right to speak out since he’s a private citizen.”
