Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that the tea party is a positive influence on the Republican Party.

“I think they raised issues that an awful lot of Americans care about,” Cheney said on NBC’s “Today” show. “It’s an uprising, in part, and the good thing is it’s taken place within the Republican Party. I don’t see it as a negative. I think it’s much better to have that kind of turmoil and change in the Republican Party than it would be to have it outside.”

Cheney, who has a new book coming out about struggles with his heart health, said that while he doesn’t consider himself a member of the tea party, its frustration with Washington is “healthy.”

“I’m not a card-carrying member — I don’t think there is a card — but I have respect for what the people are doing,” Cheney said. “These are Americans. They’re loyal, they’re patriotic, they’re taxpayers and they’re fed up with what they see happening in Washington. I think it’s a normal healthy reaction, and the fact that the party is having to adjust to it is positive.”

Cheney also said it’s time for the party to make way for new leadership, including his daughter, when asked about Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

“He represents the thinking of an awful lot of people, obviously in Texas,” Cheney said......​

Gee, I dunno, maybe someone who isn't at all partisan whatsoever?

I'd like Paul/Cruz. After obama they will face THE WORST JOB IN THE WORLD. More debt that any country in history with the least FULL TIME employment.

Oh boy, so you claim the credit for killing OBL, but forget that waterboarding got us the information we needed.

It's convenient you forget that.
