Did Cheney just destroy GOP chances on Tuesday?

[americanstranger]

Come Sunday morning, America will hear him say that even if Repubs lose Congress, he and Bush are going 'full speed ahead' in Iraq.

Cheney said that even with pollsters predicting Democrats will likely make gains in both houses of Congress on Tuesday, voter sentiment would not influence Bush's policy.

"It may not be popular with the public — it doesn't matter in the sense that we have to continue the mission and do what we think is right. And that's exactly what we're doing," Cheney said. "We're not running for office. We're doing what we think is right."

The Dems batter get this on tape when it airs and turn it into a campaign ad by noon. Run it everywhere. It's a GOP-killer.

Run an ad with Cheney saying the American people don't matter, and we'll get a veto-proof majority out of this election.

WTF are they thinking?

- as

[NanceGreggs]

1. WTF are they thinking?

THAT'S the problem -- in their desparation, they are NOT thinking.

Come the morning of November 8th, it will be blatantly obvious to the country (and the world) that this Administration is acting AGAINST the wishes of the American people.

See ya at the Hague, Dickwad.

[wryter2000]

5. I hope they end up in the Hague

They'll probably avoid foreign travel so they can't be picked up.

[MasonJar]

37. But...but...they never think. Georgie leads with his gut. Pickles

said so. It's so much easier than studying the situation.

[AntiFascist]

43. What's happening with the Iraqi oil fields?

Recently I read reports that they were finally about to become very productive, but then I also hear that by pulling out we will lose control of them. My thought has always been, with all the former oil executives in charge of our government, that this really was their primary mission in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East.

[truedelphi]

46. Id think that the oil fields and the energy company

involvement means that the Powers that Be will keep us there until we have impeached every last one of them

[wryter2000]

2. Hard to tell

In the same category, * chose this week to insist that Rumsfeld was doing a "fantastic" job and was going to stay as long as he was President. Clueless, or what?

Even that alkie Hitchens pointed out that the word "fantastic" comes from "fantasy."

[Zensea]

3. Hubris

pure and simple, of which Cheney has plenty.

[C_U_L8R]

4. Cheney tells America to F*ck Off

Nice. Next thing he'll shoot Liberty in face.

[earth mom]

29. Cheney & * have been telling America & it's people to F*ck off for 6 years now

This is no different. Why the entire country isn't outraged over their arrogance is a mystery to me. Who do they work for after all?!

[malaise]

6. voter sentiment would not influence Bush's policy?

Cheney the lunaticis telling the American public that their opinions do not matter. He is saying that he will ignore Congress. He says this three and a half days before an election. Well on the one hand he has conceded the election; on the other he has enraged a few million people re his lack of knowledge about who serves whom.

Thanks you big Dick!

[Hubert Flottz]

17. He's saying Bush is Der Fuhrer...

[malaise]

18. We will see

Come on Dems. Whip them!

[onehandle]

7. Dick, you and Bush are going to be up to your asses in lawyers.

That's your mission for the next two years (or less).

[NOLADEM]

8. Cut the funding and bring them home...The Consitution says we can

Fuck these Chimps.

Tie them up for the rest of the term by demanding every single neo-con appear by subpoena in front on a Congressional committee to testify, EVERY DAY. Then send them home with homework, to find documents like the Energy meeting notes and other shredded docs to find.

[jimshoes]

9. It's true,...

They've never given a damn about what us voters wanted. Ever.

[bullwinkle428]

10. Cheney is sure sounding like "The Decider Rides Again"! (n/t)

[Kierkegaard]

11. Thinking? A Republophile?

That's rich!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You're right, though. If this gets some airplay, it will likely solidify a complete meltdown for these creeps.

"Who cares what YOU think." See ya next Tuesday, ASSHOLE!

[RufusEarl]

12. They believe and think they're kings of this country!

this type of talk from Cheney doesn't surprise me at all they've been speaking this way for six years. I agree with you that this statement should been shown to the american people, but i believe the news media should report on this statement.

imho this is real news! the fact that the VP of the USA doesn't care what we the citizens think should be the main story on ever MSM and local affiliate in the country.

[Jack Rabbit]

13. A veto-proof majority may be out of reach

A few Senate Republicans will have to be convinced that the nation's best interest lies in voting for a conviction on the impeachment charges against Bush and Cheney. The fewer Republicans there are, the better.

[Disturbed]

14. Translation: Americans that don't support me and the Fascists

can go fuck themselves.

[Jack Rabbit]

16. That's translating in Mr. Cheney's native Anglo-Saxon

Actually, the answer to the question in the OP is No. If the GOP still had any chances on Labor Day, they were gone when the Foley/Hastert scandal hit the news.

[frazzledmom]

15. Bwhahaha in other words "Fuck the American people"

"we'll do whatever we want". You better have this well rigged Dickie boy, or your ass is grass..

-walldude posting on Mrs walldudes PC...

[williesgirl]

19. The only HONEST thing to come out of his mouth & it has to be this! recommended

[yojon]

20. Senator Reid.???? Hellloooo??? are you there????

Wake up Senator Reid... hello ...... are you awake????

[VeggieTart]

33. Yeah, and somebody go shake Nancy Pelosi awake, too. n/t

[Tom Joad]

21. More of the same... "can't pay attention to focus groups" meme

[jazzjunkysue]

22. They're so scared, they're not thinking. They're tantruming.

We've all seen our own toddlers do this. We've all seen other toddlers do this to their parents in grocery stores.

It's called: "I'll keep yelling until they give in."

Well, once in a while a brave parent does the right thing, picks the kid up and carries him/her screaming to the carseat, buckles them in, and leaves the groceries in the cart in isle 9.

Hey Cheney: Welcome to isle 9. It's carseat time. Buh bye.
:hi:

[BlueJac]

23. Dangerous People.......

They hate Democracy and our freedoms..........they swear to continue doing that very thing! Run these fuckers out of town on a rail!!

[Bad Penny]

24. has there ever been a more blatant

fascist then Cheney in America? I know there have always been businessmen in America with fascististic leanings but Cheney is one bold and fearless despot who wears it on both sleeves in broad daylight. This bastard is old man Potter x 1000

[earth mom]

30. Old Man Potter x 1000...now that nails it!

So, Where's our George Bailey?!

p.s. It's A Wonderful Life is my all time favorite movie! :D

[Bad Penny]

49. How's this?

(One of my favorite movies too)

[bigtree]

25. He doesn't think twice about elections

or democracy

[mnhtnbb]

26. Gonna' be tough to run a war when Congress yanks funding...

Maybe Cheney's going to hold a bake sale among his rich friends?

[spanone]

27. In other words, American Voters - Go fuck yourselves. We couldn't give a shit what you think.

[Glimmer of Hope]

28. His arrogance scares me.

[lpbk2713]

31. *We are a lame duck administration*

"And we don't give a rat's ass what anybody else thinks. We will do what pleases us."

[lfairban]

32. I agree with one thing he said:

(The war in Iraq) has a direct bearing on how we do around the world on the global war on terror.

He is right, it is making it worse.

[gully]

34. They're thinking they can discourage people from voting on the war

issue. Paraphrased - "Stay home, you're vote won't count anyway."

[young_at_heart]

35. KEY words: "It doesn't matter"

Will the media just ignore as usual?

[tabasco]

36. The robber barons are happy sitting on top of the oil.

The insane and traitorous neocons want to keep our troops in Iraq forever.

At the current pace, we maintain control of Iraqi oil reserves, accomplish nothing else, and lose troops every day. Our troops are dying for corporate profits.

Of course chicken-hawk, chicken-shit Cheney wants the war to go on. It means big money for him and his traitor pals.

Chicken Cheney couldn't fill out deferment forms fast enough, but he wants our brothers and sisters to die forever in endless war.

[ArbustoBuster]

38. So he's completely ignoring us voters, huh?

I think he's channeling Stalin, who is said to have quipped, "The Pope? How many divisions does he have?" when he was prompted to consider the Vatican's opinion on his actions.

If Cheney metaphorically says, "The voters? How many divisions do they have?" he's likely to learn that the answer is "all of them." If the Administration ignores the voters, we can and will kick them out on their asses. It's called impeachment, and we can make Congress do it if we scream loud enough.

[lebkuchen]

39. At least we know what we're not -- a democracy

[SouthernBelle82]

40. I wonder

but who really listen's to him anymore? I don't think anybody really have in the first place with his low approval rating.

[Dr Ron]

41. Resigned to a Democratic Congress?

I was amazed by this. It sounds like the sort of thing to only say after the votes are counted, unless they have totally given up. It sounds like they are positioning themselves to be facing a Democratic Congress.

Trying to think like Cheney (just got a bad headache) the only explanation I can think of is to energize the base. They are possibly hoping that if they energize their base enough they could hold on to the Senate.

[elehhhhna]

42. 'full speed ahead' ? Hope that means he's gonna get his fat A$$ over there.

Where else can he retire? Really?

45. Well at least he's finally being honest ...

... and anyone who votes for a Pug on Tuesday has absolutely NO right to be shocked, amazed, or pretend ignorance of the nasty awful shit that's going down over there.

The Boogie Man is out from under the stairs, and his name is Dick.

47. His disdain for Americans disgusts me

:puke:

48. They're not thinking. They're trying to lead with their dicks.

They're stupid, shriveled, old, brainless dicks.
