Dick Cheney is not only a danger to the world, but he is also a tremendous danger to his own party. If we attack Iran without any provocation (or more likely with a flimsy, contrived provocation), we will set the world on fire. Not only will there be disastrous consequences for our troops in Iraq, for our citizens across the world, for the state of our military and our defenses at home, but there will also be enormous economic and political consequences.
....
I think there is a chance that the Republican Party would never recover. That is not a hyperbole. The damage from starting a war with Iran would be so grave that it would set back the Republican Party for the foreseeable future.

Who in their right mind would elect another Republican after the Bush administration started two unwarranted, cataclysmic, wars of choice in the Middle East? They might get the can't-wait-for-Armageddon vote, but that's about it. Voters are already seething at the Republican Party and they haven't even begun to destroy the economy yet (though some might argue that they have already begun, but not on the level I'm talking about here).

Imagine how angry they would be if on top of everything, the Republican Party sunk the economy and brought the price of gas to over $5 a gallon? If you thought 2006 was electoral tidal wave, wait till you get a load of 2008 if the Republicans attack Iran.

Dick Cheney is a danger to himself and all around him. He is a cancer on the White House. Whether he succeeds or not in starting the horrific wars he champions, it is a startling fact that he is even trying. The fact that he has any chance at all to succeed and is the second most powerful man in the country easily makes him the most dangerous man in the world.

1. There is a cancer on the White House

IMPEACH NOW

[whistle]

2. As long as Dick Cheney remains in office, attacking Iran is not a

....matter of "if", but "when". Impeach Bush/Cheney now! The longer we delay this, the higher the likelihood of nuclear war in the middle east :nopity:

3. "...Who in their right mind would elect another Republican"

That's a question we ought to be asking all across the country...

It's the single best reason for by polarizing the dialogue and nationalizing the elections.

Of course, that will only work if the DINO's in the party stop enabling the far right and legitimizing their corrupt and irrational policies.

4. Who would re-elect Bush and Company

Are the wealthy and corporations...money you know...has no morals...just like many in these two groups. Some Corporations are so wealthy that they have more money than small nations. They've been able to destroy the enviorment at will and make you pay for fixing the problems if they are fixable. It seems like even some Rep/Cons are FINALLY begining to understand they've been played with.

5. Nope. That's not correct. Bush is the President, ergo: most dangerous. /nt
