Comments on: V.P. No More, Cheney Makes Curtain Call

Behind-The-Scenes Power Broker Of Bush Presidency Raises Profile In Attacks On Obama

[Slrman]

Seething_Soup It's Bush who tried to restrict freedom of speech and succeeded with his "Free Speech Zones" THis SOB is also the one who said, "There should be a limit to freedom." and "Stop throwing the constitution at me, it's just a G_D_ piece of paper." So this is the neo-con's idea of freedom? BTW, he also said, "This would be a lot easier in a dictatorship, provided I was the dictator." He almost made it, too. Perhaps these are some of the reasons he is rated the worst president ever and the most disliked person in the history of the human race.

FYI, Global Warming and climate change is a FACT, something you neo-cons apparently find impossible to recognize. It seems that any fact is something neo-cons are very uncomfortable with. That's not surprising as most facts directly contradict everything they think and say.

Watch Sacrilegious Dave joke about Uncle Dick Cheney telling George to just tell his dog poop story to high school kids.

Apparently, by reading attack comments posted here, the news media, the liberals including Barack himself, Cheney is the Republican they fear the most. Why do liberals fear Cheney the most? By telling the truth about Obama's planned weakening of the US in world eyes, Cheney talks straight about the liberal's careless attitude concerning national defense.

cheney can talk and speechify all he wants...its his right

but

i believe cheney should be tried for treason for his roll in revealing the identity of CIA agent valerie plame as payback to her husband who argued and brought forth information indicating Iraq had no nuclear wmd

cheney beat the drum endlessly, with lies and distortions to get american into a war in iraq

the war in iraq drew our strength and attention away from afghanistan where alqaeda, the taliban and the real threat was gathering

cheney demonstrates more loyalty to haliburton and the oil companies than he does to the usa and the constitution

It may be OK to torture people to prevent a 9-11 event. You want the truth out of them, quickly. It 'may' be OK, because experts say repeatedly that you're unlikely to get the truth. In any case, Cheney didn't want the truth, he wanted a lie. He wanted ammunition for an invasion of Iraq, and he wasn't getting any: not from the weapons inspectors, not from the CIA, not from the Iraqi expatriots. No smoking gun. So, he approved torture to ELICIT 'proof' of a connection between Al-Qaida and Iraq, knowing that people will say ANYTHING to get the torture to end. AND THEY DID!!! And that 'proof' appeared in Powell's UN speech, justifying the invasion. And the guy who, under torture, provided the 'proof' subsequently 'committed suicide' in a Libyan prison (unusual for a dedicated Muslim extremist for whom suicide is a ticket to hell), preventing him from telling his side of the story, i.e. why he gave 'proof' of a connection no one else has been able to confirm.

Cheney got the 'proof' he needed, the war he and Halliburton wanted, and is now claiming to be an 'elder statesman patriot' who wants to protect America. But, for torturing people to justify an illegal war in Iraq that's claimed the lives of 5000 Americans, Cheney needs to be in jail. Period. To not do so, is a shameful reflection on the REST OF US, who claim to be patriotic Americans. And it heaps SCORN on the many patriotic Americans who DIED in Iraq, and for whom this long weekend is a remembrance.

Poor guy. It's not as if he has anything else to do

[An-Historian]

Halliburton, the notorious U.S. energy company, sold key nuclear-reactor components to a private Iranian oil company called Oriental Oil Kish as recently as 2005, using offshore subsidiaries to circumvent U.S. sanctions. The story is particularly juicy because Vice President Dick Cheney, who claims to want to stop Iran from getting nukes, was president of Halliburton in the mid-1990s, at which time he may have advocated business dealings with Iran, in violation of U.S. law.

The rotten SOB belongs in prison. I hope someone in the A-G's office has the testicular fortitude to arrest this man and charge him with treason and every other crime he has committed.

Then subject him to rendition to turkey and a daily waterboarding alternating with attack dogs, sleep deprivation, and a diet of stagnant water and moldy bread.

As soon as Bill BJ Clinton and the second worst president ever (formerly #1 but now #2 to the holy Messiah currently in the WH) Jimmy C. shut up then we care ask Cheney to be quiet.

sjc_1 said: "$5.7 trillion...That is the national debt when Clinton left office... Most of that debt was put on there by two terms of Reagan and one term of Bush Sr. I know this may seem too much to take and you have to deny it, but it IS a fact."

Isn't it sad that you have to re-explain to these people over and over again, not just distant history but YESTERDAYS HISTORY as well? Right-wing America truly seems to spend all its time praying, and precious little learning about reality. But, don't worry about those GOP deficits because:

'Deficits don't Matter' (Dick Cheney quote)
