- unicornhunter, on 10/12/2007, -5/+93That's the only accurate statement he's ever made.
- speedy11309, on 10/12/2007, -7/+75what he should've said:
"I'm the juggernaut, bitch!"
because we all know thats what hes thinking - rstevens, on 10/12/2007, -3/+53Well, we're Americans Mr. Cheney, and you're not.
This is sick. Nobody is a law unto themself. These leaders don't own or represent America. - shadus, on 10/12/2007, -10/+41I'm just glad they're NOT impeaching Bush at this point. Having Cheney as a president would be the one person worse than Bush.
- rstevens, on 10/12/2007, -5/+36The executive branch has less compassion and respect for American citizens and soldiers than a freezer.
- infopro, on 10/12/2007, -10/+32And it's a pity that one is....
- blackkbot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16"His only job is basically to stay alive for when the president dies."
Yeah and he's having trouble doing that one. - shadus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Wrong. They do according to a majority of VOTERS in 2004 and now most of the people that supported them during the election would not do so again.
population of America "not equal" voters.
50.8% of voters voted for bush/cheney. 60.7% of americans voted. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+22Fontrunately, people are beginning to realize that Cheney is insane:

Cheney thinks the Iraq war is an "enormous success".
Maybe for him, since he profited tidily from it. - atdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13and then he laughed sardonically: muhahahaha.... (they censored this part)
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Honestly, does the vice president ACTUALLY do anything? He 'presides' over the senate, but he still doesn't get a vote. His only job is basically to stay alive for when the president dies.
- clubmasta2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11have you been living under a rock for the last 6 years? :tard:
- Bigcat1021, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13"I'm rubber and your glue .. ?"
My glue has nothing to do with this. - zlintux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Actually, you're over-estimating Bush's vote by quite a bit. The official total was 62,040,610 votes to bush. Also, the turnout was significantly less than 60.7% of the total population (Perhaps that is 60.7% of people aged 18 and over?), as a total of 122,293,332 votes were counted.
The Onion generally likes to run with these kinds of things... 62 million votes to Bush out of say 290 million Americans and they'll say "Bush proclaims majority with 21% of America's support" - biotch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9@thcobbs
The new congress has showed more compassion for the American public in 2 weeks than the last congress showed in 6 years.
Approved the remaining Sept. 11 commission recommendations that had not been made into law on Jan. 9;
Pushed through an increase of the minimum wage on Jan. 10,
Expanded federal funding for stem cell research on Jan. 11;
Allowed the government the power to re-negotiate Medicare drug prices on Jan. 12;
Gave a cut in interest rates on students' college loans on Jan 17th,
Passed a renewable energy measure that takes back 15 billion dollars Bush gave to the oil industry on Jan 18th.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,244539,00.html - tomtucker378, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8What do you mean. He is responsible casting the tie-breaking vote in the senate and for maintaining the space time continuum. Read your constitution!
- billyh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"we'll just turn into a fascist nation."
Dude, in 2000 the Supreme Court stopped the state of Florida from counting its own votes. WTF? The man who held the highest number of popular votes was not made President. "TURNING INTO" a Fascist nation? We are long ago there. Your E-mail are being read. Your calls are listened to. Congress has been stripped and stripped of their checks and balances; an illegal war has killed at least 60,000 civilians, maybe 600,000, whose only crime was to have been born in Iraq. And Katrina? And voting irregularities? War profitteers and oil barrons are in charge. And they are taking your money and running with it. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I'm neither "liberal" or "conservative" and you don't need to be either to know a ***** when you see one (unless you are a republican lemming). Bush and Cheney qualify as ***** in Charge.
- baxtermaddux, on 10/12/2007, -9/+15Darth Cheney. I hope that fat ***** dies of a heart attack soon.
- drmangrum, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Surprised he didnt end the statement with:
"Nanny-nanny boo boo" - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Fox News links! My eyes! They burn!
- Just1nD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5the court is unbiased only when called upon, they have no power unless something is brought to them. but they do have bias
- Grumps, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I shot my friend in my hunting trip!
And wow, look at my list of dirty history.
http://newint.org/columns/worldbeaters/2001/04/01/dickcheney/ - baxtermaddux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Darth Cheney
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5As Steven Colbert put it best, "Reality has a well established liberal bias."
- zephc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Dick Cheney's body is host to a Goa'uld. That's the only way I can explain him.
- thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Actually he does get a vote in case of a Senate TIE. He is also in charge of Nasa and several other agencies. NASA is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
- thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14767199/
“clearly, the intelligence that said he did was wrong.” - thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5@shadus
Well if those people won't get out and vote, they get what they get.
Don't give me this crap about "my vote doesn't matter". If you are able to mobilize those untapped voters to your cause, you could easily create a 3rd or even 4th party. - fridayxiii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@megaman: I think I just threw up in my mouth
- Heiios, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"Well Im a war criminal and they're not."
*sigh* - thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9And congress has more? Or the courts? Because, I don't see congress trying to do anything besides cut the troops funding... And the courts.... well, they are at the best supposed to be unbiased.
- mikelieman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Name ONE example where Cheney was actually correct in anything meaningful? Some call his statements fraud.
- xXBassXx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3There are places and times for jokes. When someone in that high of an office and is speaking to the public that is not the time to make jokes. If I walk upto a police officer and jokingly say I'm gonna kill you do you think hes going to laugh it off as a joke or arrest me?
- drinkGreen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It almost seemed like he would follow that quote with "nah nah nah nah naaaah naaaah"
- Run4ny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It doesn't matter if they impeach Bush or not. Cheney's in charge either way. Cheney is the real Osama Bin Laden of 9/11. September 11th was an inside job. Investigate for yourselves.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Lynx, why not Ron Paul?
- biotch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Lynxpro
Clinton got 42% out of 3 candidates as opposed to 2 candidates in 2004... big difference - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Explain what "the goo" means, please.
- diatrevolo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"I'm rubber and your glue .. ?"
...what about my glue? - Lynxpro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2
Maybe Darth Cheney's actions remind you of Emperor Palpatine from the Star Wars movies, but Cheney's physical appearance would be impossible to remind one of that character otherwise. There are two better choices amongst the powerful elites today for actually looking like Palpatine: Senator Lieberman resembles Palpatine during "The Phatom Menace" while the current Pope resembles Palpatine from "Revenge of the Sith". - biotch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@modernjazz
none of this was bushes fault? I wouldnt go so far as to say "none" of it.
I agree the fervor started with the Florida election. But seriously, they should have just counted the votes. Whats the harm in waiting till they are all counted? At least it would've put to rest who certainly won and who certainly didnt.
I think not allowing that count of the remaining votes left Americans unsettled and also contributed to the division. I would have fought for it too.
Bush certainly didnt do anything to calm the flames though. He has made multiple decisions with 0 consideration of the popular vote that didnt want him in office to begin with. He continues to do this with his recent decision to send more troops into Iraq after an obvious electoral revolt against his Iraq agenda by way of congressional turnover. - Lynxpro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2
Similarly, Chevy Chase had nearly the same catch-phrase for his late-night talk show on Fox (not Fox News) back in the late 80s. It didn't work out too well for him... - shadus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Second reply, didn't get to first one fast enough... roughly 300m citizens in the US. That means that roughly 182,100,000 people voted, of those 182,100,000 people only 92,506,800 supported Bush. The remaining 89,593,200 wanted change. Coming from Ohio where there have been documented cases of election fraud that were prosecuted and found guilty... the differences between their votes are small enough that he may or may not have been elected in reality. That's a moot point because he is the president, but don't make stupid broad sweeping statements that are blatantly wrong.
- e3boy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2actually a good video to watch is a PBS Fronline documentary "The Dark Side"
http://www.mininova.org/tor/534677
basically goes over how Cheney took over the presidency and manufactured information about Iraq's WMDs, the pretext for war. - biotch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@megaman2005
Got any sources on that supposed popularity rating?
Here is a republican slanted Fox"news" poll that disagrees with you
"President Bush's unfavorable rating is 58%, while Cheney's unpopularity rating is five points lower at 53%. Bush can, however, still take some small solace from the fact that his approval rating is one point higher than Cheney's; the President's is 38%, while the VP's is 37%."

This is the direct PDF link to the Fox"news" poll
http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/011807_foxnewspoll.pdf - Phrag, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2FTA: "I think there's widespread concern throughout the region about Iran, and in particular, Iran under Ahmadinejad. I think a lot of people in the area -- I don't want to attribute this to any one particular government -- but a lot of people in the area feel directly threatened. They're concerned about Iran using surrogates such as the Syrians and Hezbollah, for example, in an effort to topple the government of Lebanon."
Gee, who could he be talking about? Lets see. Who is scared by Ahmadinejad's agressive rhetoric and has recently been in a fight with Hezbollah... I have no idea. Could you maybe give us a hint, Dick? /sarcasm - LavaHot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Who does he think he is, Chevy Chase?
- dogshaft, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2We must be getting a lot done then, ay cobbs? [/sarcasm]
- billyh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You are overstating the case. These evil men are beyond hatred. They have killed 10,000s of Iraqis whose only crime is having been born in Iraq. These men are monsters. They don't deserve hatred. They deserve to be locked up and the key thrown away so they can never wreak their havoc on innocent people again. They did not do this for spreading democracy, they support dictators all over the world who are letting them have oil. They did not do this for humanitarian causes. Darfur is a genocide we will have to live with the shame of for generations. They did this in the name of getting Saddam's oil concessions away from the Chinese, the Euro standard back to the US Dollar in the Middle East and lastly as a vendetta for the fabricated story that Saddam "Tried to kill my Daddy."
Oil is a commodity that can only be bought and sold with hard cash, which is why countries around the world hold large reserves of dollars, to buy oil with them. The stocking of dollars around the world props the US currency up and prevents the Feds actions of lowering interest rates from weakening it. Saddam migrated his sale of oil from hard dollars to hard Euros. Guess what happened when we bombed. Back to the dollar standard PDQ.
And just why are we sending 20k more and then 20 more k troops in? To protect the people? Not on your life. To get the oil fields functioning for US oil companies who won't go anywhere near the place until Bush gets it under control. Until he and Cheney get oil companies into Iraq as they promised the likes of "Kenny-boy" Lay in 2002, Bush's name is mud in corporate circles. -
