Dick Cheney

[dellinger63]

the only individual hurt by this so far is Pelosi and how sweet it is.

Waiting for the 'I was medicated because I had one of my facelifts' excuse from old Nancy.

Probably true.
Cheney has already died a few times.
I guess he just likes making a fool of himself.

i'm wondering why they haven't dug up the corpse of richard nixon and paraded that around.

wouldn't he be more popular?

i'd feel sorry for those republicans trying to turn a page, put the past behind and get the party headed the right direction if it wasn't so delightful watching dick drag them back into the pit every chance he gets.

he's given more interviews since the inauguration than he did the last 2 years he was in office. he's so f'in awesome.

apparently his new "undisclosed location" is the fox green room. i hope he never leaves.

He is just following the lead of the new president , Obama is the one that wanted to say we tortured people, his party is the one that says we should do something to the people who knew it was happening. Now all of a sudden the president decides that maybe it isnt such a good idea to drag all this stuff out , that in fact it might be better to have military tribunals for the terrorists we have in custody , Im just wondering how he came upon such an epiphany.
I often wonder how many Nazi's were shot on site when the camps were liberated , or how many Japanese had the same happen to them? , and where are the pictures of that, shouldnt we prosecute the people who did that ?
Shouldnt we find the people who smacked the **** out of "gooks" so we could get information from them during Vietnam and Korea ?

i'm not arguing.

nothing makes me happier than to have dick in the lead on this.

he's absolutely the spokesperson i'd choose for republicans if, in some fevered dream, i thought it was possible i'd get to choose.

and we get to keep the focus on the prior admin's policies?

it's like winning the lottery.

There were no Nazi's in Germany after the country
was overrun. They all... switched parties. That is
part of the reason for the Nuremberg Trials. People
usually dont just come out and openly admit they are terrorists
or particpated in genocide. Everyone, including Obama, knew this
was going to be tough to determine who did what.

big mistake by Obama /Pelosi to keep on this subject of Gitmo, torture etc. It has blown up in their faces. Obama looks like an inexperienced rube taking every position in the book, and finally ending up where Bush was, and Pelosi has been exposed as a fraud while both of them have made enemies at the CIA. All because they cannot resist going after Bush Cheney even though they have nothing to gain from it.

Republicans didn't send Cheney out there, Obama forced his hand.

Then he is not very loyal to his party.
Makes Republicans look old, tired and bitter.
And stupid...

Cheney asking for sensitive information to
be released to the public...
Unbelievable gall.

obama/pelosi. did we give up on obama/blago?

the litmus test for dems has to be that so long as republicans are focused on linking him to the somewhat less popular flavor of the moment, things are going pretty well. particularly with dick cheney insisting on being the public face of the opposition.

and i love the evolution of republican arguement.

1) we don't torture.

2) okay. we do torture but it works.

3) so, we're not sure it works but nancy knew.

thats a path back to power if i ever saw one.
