Dick Cheney: 'Damn right' we'd do it all again

[sabra]

Source: Chicago Trib Politics Blog

This morning, at the start of a three-day Conservative Political Action Conference, a Republican senator from Wyoming suggested that, “Today, the C in CPAC stands for Cheney.’’

...

“Guiding this nation through a time of peril is a very tough job, and the right man is in it,’’ the vice president said. “The absence of another 9/11 is not an accident. It is an achievement.’’

The crowd rose to its feet cheering Cheney on this.

...

“Those who act in good faith to defend this country… should not be hassled by lawsuits and trial lawyers,’’ Cheney said.

...

“I have been proud to stand by him,’’ said Cheney, citing decisions which Bush has made as president. “And would I support those same decisions today? You’re damn right I would.

“When the last chapter is written,’’ Cheney predicted, “it will be said that our nation became more prosperous and more secure because George Bush was the president of the United States.’’

1. I just tasted throwup in my mouth.

[saigon68]

17. Cheney is a Cowardly Draft Dodger and Gangster

He gets other people to do the dying.

[Solly Mack]

2. What can be said? He's a liar. He's corrupt. He's criminal.

He should be in prison.

[aquart]

22. Yes. Why isn't he?

[Solly Mack]

25. There's absolutely no good reason for his not being in prison

That's for certain

[Zhade]

75. The cowardly Democratic party won't do their duty, that's why.

NT!

[calmblueocean]

3. "The last chapter"? That sounds pretty ominous.

Or maybe he just means the last chapter in The Big Book of Wingnut Dreams.

[boricua79]

4. but, right now, the chapter is:

insecure and not prosperous.

[supernova]

5. I'd get a Secret Service visit

if I posted what I really think about that despicable, low-down, evil SOB!!

:grr: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[Torn_Scorned_Ignored]

21. careful there,

you could get one just for thinking it - - thanks to the 110th Congress.

[ReformedChris]

6. There is a hint in there at what excuses we are going to hear AFTER Bush's presidency..

ALL we are ever going to hear from the Repukes and the Bush camp will be how "Bush's strong policy prevented ANOTHER 9/11 from taking place". It really makes me want to vomit because this failure of a man has left this country in true shambles. History will thankfully put George Bush in his proper place.

[LynnTheDem]

54. It was NOT bush that's prevented another 911 the last 4+ years. It is my

TEDDY BEAR.

Magical teddy bear.

And I can PROVE it's my teddy bear that has prevented another 911 attack: there hasn't been another 911 attack.

Too bad george w. bush didn't bother preventing the first one.

[Lasher]

56. Tigers are frightened of my cats.

Hasn't been a single tiger in my yard since I got them.

So, who was president on 9/11/2001? Junior and Lord Vader didn't do such a good job preventing that one, did they?

[LynnTheDem]

57. And forget mice. A pinch of catnip at your front door prevents elephants

from invading your home.

I tried it.

Not one single elephant has invaded my home.

[Lasher]

62. This is over the top even for Lord Vader.

I've never seen such shameful Orwellian banter, even from him.

[potone]

60. Beautiful response. N/T

[Lasher]

63. Thank you.

But I was pretty much just following Lynn's lead in her contribution to which I replied. Jesus, I can't wait for that man to be out of office.

[hisownpetard]

7. "Those who act in good faith to defend this country… should not be hassled by lawsuits and

trial lawyers."

Worried much, DIck?

[Beausoleil]

29. Even extremely lucrative and illegal "good faith"?

Maybe when we really have people "defending this country" that DO act in good faith, we can think about it.

Tell us about your secret energy meetings, Mr. "Good Faith".

[tabasco]

69. So revealing top-secret spy operations is acting in good faith?

This fucking traitor belongs behind bars!

[mike_c]

8. we will crush the rebellion....

[sinkingfeeling]

9. How can anybody swallow this crap? What is wrong with people would applaud this

administration?

[calmblueocean]

12. they worship power -- that's what they're applauding for

that's the terrifying thing about the right wing today. Post-9/11, all they want is a warrior-god to lead them in destroying their enemies. Unfortunately, warrior-gods were in short supply this year, which is why there's so much turmoil over their nominee.

[ronnie624]

64. Conservative Political Action Conference

I can't imagine a greater concentration of greed and malevolence.

[bdamomma]

24. they are not Americans.

[Maat]

10. "C" stands for "CRIMINAL" ....

who's proud of pooping on our Bill of Rights? Who's proud of violating the 8th Amendment and the Geneva Conventions, and reducing the whole country to a criminal operation?

:puke:

[peacetalksforall]

11. Time will show the danger we are in with Cheney and friends running thte show..

This is serious crime affecting millions of people.

Take one campaign conducted outside the country - like Chile - and multiply it worldwide by the thousands - that's what we have - from selling every parcel of our country to people outside and making money on the sales - to the crime of 9-11 - to vote theft - to missiling trillions - do hungry kids and uncared for soldiers - to our lost jobs and companies.

[fascisthunter]

13. Sociopaths Never Regret Their Actions

especially when their actions harm others to profit themselves! I'm sure he gots off on that fact too...

[hisownpetard]

30. BULLS-EYE.

That's absolutely it.:thumbsup: :hi:

[DCKit]

44. Silly me, I was going to say "they do when they're caught" but then I remembered...

They regret being caught, not the action(s) that led to their being caught.

[FreepFryer]

14. Of course, Cheney hasn't got the balls to stand up and say that to an actual American audience...

...he wouldn't have enough Anthrax to send each Democrat who called him a liar this time.

As expected, it's just more of the same - Cheney mouthing off like a tin pot dictator to another roomful of his partners-in-crime.

Criminal.

[libodem]

15. He needs to rot

in prison.

[ladjf]

16. That is exactly what one would expect for the cardinal criminal

of the planet Earth.

[Imagevision]

18. People! Bush was for, oil,defense,Pharmaceuticals controlling mid-east oil flo and the

list is lengthy, of course Cheney would do it again, it was all about big business and W did what he was hired to do. Big money is extremely proud of what President Bush has accomplished...for them.
Does anyone disagree with scenario? Are you happier now then when you were 7 years ago?

For the record, the US. never would have invaded Iraq if it wasn't for Bushco.

[rateyes]

19. Did I miss something? When did Cheney start doing

comedy routines? :shrug:

[truthisfreedom]

20. “Guiding this nation through a time of peril... and the right man is in it,’’

Yes, bush is certainly in peril. His poll numbers are at a steady "do not want." His speeches elicit no response. He's such a lame duck one wonders if he even has feet.

We didn't survive 8 years of bushco to read "the last chapter," mr. shoot-em-up. We're going to be dancing in the streets when your sorry ass is out the door and facing trial for crimes against humanity.

[bdamomma]

23. oh god, what a sick SOB.

delusional too.

[Jack Rabbit]

26. "When the last chapter is written . . ."

When the last chapter is written, the Frat Boy and the Big Dick will be rotting in two small cells in The Hague.

The international community should convene a special tribunal for war crimes in Iraq and crimes against humanity arising out of the so-called war on terror, now.

[bdamomma]

55. why can't the ICC overturn the immunity clause for these thugs

and proclaim them War Criminals. Like get all International organizations involved and throw out this clause, that it no longer stands in view of evidence that screams out Crimes Against Humanity.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

27. If Cheney's soo good, then why isn't he running for pres?

[Imagevision]

31. Cheney run for president? -> whom do you think was the prsident for the past 7 years?!?

[RoseMead]

28. "...it will be said that our nation became more prosperous

and more secure because George Bush was the president of the United States."

Silly delusional war-monger, mistaking his cronies and 'business' partners for "our nation" again.:eyes:

Someone needs to clue Dick that our nation, as a whole, can tell when it's become more secure and prosperous or not, and this ain't it.

[pingzing58]

32. And history will be rewritten for Bush like it was for Reagan. But now we know the truth.

[BlueStater]

42. No it won't. I let it.

And millions of others like me won't allow it either. Just let those shitheads try and make this war criminal out to be anything other than what he is.

[pingzing58]

43. It's vitally important to get our hands on as many documents as possible before they are sealed for

forty years in his library.

[ronnie624]

68. I think so too.

The Bushites are firmly established within the ranks of the ruling elites. They are integral to the corporatist political power structure. They may be gently nudged aside, but the machine never eats its own. One day, they will have airports, traffic spurs and warships named after them.

The status quo will continue until it destroys us all.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. Of course they'd do it again...They're still fucking DOING it!

There are seemingly no consequences for murder, rape, theft, and abuse of the Constitution.

[Mountainman]

34. They lined their pockets with our money, passed the debt onto our kids and will leave town laughing

all the way to the bank.

I believe in karma and they have built up a lot of negative karma. I doubt Cheney will get to enjoy his ill gained wealth for very long.

The shame here is that we could have done so much more good had they not been in power.

[Parche]

35. “The absence of another 9/11 is not an accident. It is an achievement.’’

Thats because you planned the whole thing fukwad..............:grr: :grr: :grr:
But the fact is, it happened on your watch.....explain that?
:hi:

[The Backlash Cometh]

36. What did you expect him to say? He's laughing in Pelosi's face.

Catch me, catch me if you can.

[SammyWinstonJack]

50. She can catch him, she prefers not too.

Which means SHE is laughing in our faces. :mad:

[FreeStateDemocrat]

37. Whose job was it to protect America on 9/11/2001 and you failed miserably you phonychickshit bastard

[stevedeshazer]

38. I hate this evil sonofabitch with every one of the trillions of cells in my body

Which maggot Wyoming senator? Enzi or Barasso?



I would gladly spend every cent I have left to travel to Dick Fucking Cheney's soon-to-be grave and piss on it, write a song about it, and post it on YouTube.

I want my great-great-great-great-great- great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren
to know what this scum-sucking maggot is responsible for.

And I must apologize to scum and maggots, for they are much better than Dick Cheney.

I hope his friends like Pol Pot, Joe Stalin, Adolph Hitler, George W. Bush, Augusto Pinochet, Henry Kissinger, Genghis Khan, and Satan himself burn in eternal hell.

[vanboggie]

39. Cheney's a criminal without remorse

It might be his name, but he's still a dickless little SOB to be sneered upon by all good people.

[CGowen]

40. Where was he and what was he doing on 9/11 ?

9/11 Contradictions: When Did Cheney Enter the Underground Bunker?

[dogfacedboy]

41. Dick Cheney is a steaming pile who has been on this planet

for way too long. I will, someday, desecrate his grave. It's on my "bucket list".

[EFerrari]

45. Thank you, Vice Felon, for making us proud yet again. n/t

[truthisfreedom]

46. “Those who act in good faith to defend the republican party by monitoring Democratic candidates'

phones and internet activity, should not be hassled by lawsuits and trial lawsuits that might lead to exposure of our dark and insidious plan."

[mwb970]

47. cheney is an evil, criminal creep.

The very worst of the worst. It's not enough for me to picture him burning in Hell - I want him to feel the fire now, while he's still polluting our planet. The fact that he has gotten away with dozens of crimes without the slightest sliver of accountability is simply maddening.

Benazir is assassinated, cheney lives on and on and on and on. It's a cruel world.

[Tight_rope]

48. Ahhh! Spoken by the world worst criminal. n/t

[Stuart G]

49. Prosperous? for whom?

This quote...
“When the last chapter is written,’’ Cheney predicted, “it will be said that our nation became more prosperous and more secure because George Bush was the president of the United States.’’

Does not completely answer one question..... prosperous for whom?

Perhaps the wealthy and and some businesses..not all.

But for the person who had a good paying job, manufacturing washing machines, whose job went to Mexico, and he/she cannot find a job....well no. ...

But Cheney does not include that person in any of his thinking. For he only thinks of the wealthy and his business friends. Not even all business.................................Stuart G.

[paparush]

73. That was my first question (after quelling my gag reflex)....Prosperous for Halliburton

Prosperous for GE
Prosperous for Blackwater

Why have we, the people, not dragged these criminals into the streets.

Our elected reps certainly aren't going to do it...

[SammyWinstonJack]

51. 935 LIES!

And they'd tell them all again. :mad: No remorse no apologies. :grr:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

52. “The absence of another 9/11 is not an accident. It is an achievement.’’

What about anthrax, Dick?

[LynnTheDem]

53. "our nation became more prosperous and more secure because George Bush "

“Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.”

"and a year from now I'll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in baghdad that is named after president bush"
(Sept 22, 2003)

"I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven't had now for over three years.”

“There was a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda.”

“We believe Saddam has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons.”

“We do know that Saddam is actively pursuing a nuclear weapon.”-

“We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly... weeks rather than months.”

Cheney's track record speaks for itself.

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

58. I can't read that without becoming totally infuriated.

It disgusts me that this man, and those like him, and/or affiliated with him, have the gall to call themselves Americans. Whatever small, remaining drop of pride I have left inside me as a citizen is nearly evaporated, whenever I hear him speak. It sickens me to my core.

[Lasher]

59. I have become somewhat acclimated to these Orwellian times

But this hubris leaves me breathless. I don't know where to start, so I'll just let the responses upthread speak for me. And the website linked in the OP supplies some good reader comments.

[Rockerdem]

61. My fear

is that this pair has damaged the country so severely that the incoming Democratic administration - regardless of who leads it - will have extreme difficulty putting it on the right track before 2012. So that the Criminal Party will be re-instated because of lingering voter unease. If gas prices are over $5 a gallon in 2011, the Repubs will stroll into the White House again.

[AndyTiedye]

65. They WILL Do it Again, In Iran and Who Knows Where Else

[otohara]

66. Twisted Sickos

every one of them.

[tomg]

67. "Today, the C in CPAC stands for Cheney"

And to the rest of the country, the C in Cheney stands for Crazy, Corrupt and Cruel.

[lumberjack_jeff]

70. Yup. Even knowin' that I'm a fuckin' idiot, I'd do it all again. n/t

[IDemo]

71. Have signing statements been added to dictionaries under "prosperous" and "secure" yet?

[KakistocracyHater]

72. the Confidence Game in Iraq-yes

of course they'd do it again, billions of dollars richer, law-breaking precedents set, ignoring subpoenas, 1996 War Crimes Act law broken then knowingly retroactively changed-proving they knew they were in the wrong, criminally wrong.

[workinclasszero]

74. Funny how rich chicken hawk bastards

with 5 deferments talk tough isn't it?:puke:
