If you understood that Cheney was a thief, then it would color your opinions in a different fashion. Ask yourself this question - how did a poor representative from Montana, a government employee, become one of the richest men in the world today? Do they pay that much for Congress? Of course not. He had no business experience, never started his own company, he was a government employee at moderate pay for most of his adult life. Where did millions and millions come from?

When you have answered that question, when you follow each betrayal of America, each bribe he took, each time he steered a procurement contract for shoddy supplies or services to one of his shadowy firms (such actions lead to American deaths, perhaps these inferior helicopters were Cheney bribery contracts) then you will have unmasked a monster who holds our dear democracy in contempt.

When you support Cheney, you are also holding this country in contempt. I believe that taking a bribe is a felony, and a betrayal of American values, and any public servant who does so should be convicted and spend time in jail. If you allow guys like Cheney to operate, you lower the standards of our nation, and help turn us into a third world nation. It is not about Democrat or Republican, it is about survival of our nation and our values. No one is above the law; it is time you stop letting Cheney abuse this country and its laws.

When you don't stand up for your rights, you are infringing my rights. When you don't insist the government stop slaughtering young men for its insane sport, you are endangering my children. these eight deaths need to cost the government and the rich so that they take it seriously. You people need to stop acting like animals, like losers, and start respecting our lives, our American lives, as if they were precious and important.

When you refuse to make the government and the leaders be accountable for these eight men, you are saying their lives are trash, you are saying all of our lives are worthless to be disposed by a sick liar thief like Cheney. I don't appreciate it. I'm not worthless, my family is not worthless, we WILL NOT DIE FOR CHENEY or for any other murdering fool.

I don't appreciate Americans acting like ocwards, acting like my brothers were OK to die in flames in some foreign land, like they were trash, like were meaningless.

I insist that you insist that those eight men were as good as eight rich boys skulking and sleazing around Harvard or Yale. If you don't, you are betraying this nation and those dead. Those dead must not die in vain, they will not. we have value. We are human beings. We must insist in any and all ways.
