In His Own Words, Condemned

Cocky, Arrogant, Elitist, Liar, Coward...No, Not Obama...Cheney


"I think 2010 is going to be a phenomenal year for the conservative cause," Cheney said to raucous applause from the conservative audience. "And I think that Barack Obama is a one-term president." --Feb 18, 2010


"My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." -- Iraq, March 16, 2003

“We know he's been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons." --about Saddam Hussein, March 16, 2003

"In Iraq, a ruthless dictator cultivated weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them. He gave support to terrorists, had an established relationship with al Qaeda, and his regime is no more." –Nov. 7, 2003 (al Qaeda never entered Iraq until after USA invasion)


"I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." -- on the Iraq June 20, 2005


"I had other priorities in the sixties than military service." –on his five draft deferments, April 5, 1989

"There are a lot of lessons we want to learn out of this process in terms of what works. I think we are in fact on our way to getting on top of the whole Katrina exercise." --Sept. 10, 2005

"Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy." –April 30, 2001


"Go f*ck yourself." --to Sen. Patrick Leahy, during a heated exchange on the Senate floor Leahy challenged him about Halliburton profiteering-- June 25, 2004


It is interesting to note that the same stuff being said about Obama was said about Clinton and before that, Reagan. Both went on to win re election by landslides, despite taking hits in Congress, two years before in the mid term elections.

The corporate controlled mainstream media, the tea baggers, and CPAC conservatives would do well to take note that even at their strongest levels, the GOP as constituted today, will never amount to more than 25% of the voting population.

The sleeping giant in this argument is the base that only wakes up at election time. Obama proved it in 2008.

The polls never have and still don't take into account the America that is simply sitting back an watching, and waiting.

Those who take their cues from Facebook and the blogs....need to look past the big popular blogs or the pages of the rich and famous...the people who vote are out there and they are talking..

And what they are talking about is not what Cheney, and Sarah, and Mitt and Tim and Eric and John and Mitch want to hear...If the election were held today...

Obama would still win in a landslide...take that to the bank...

yeah, I remember a lot of guys had a lot of luck with that one at the draft board.
As far as the next election, it kinda depends on wether the Reps can find a sane candidate. The CPAC straw poll picked Ron Paul. In the last election the Reps ridiculed & snubbed him in favor of folks who deny science.
oh, I so hope they run a Palin-Bachman ticket. :-)

I know-- i thought 2008 was ludicrous. Can you imagine Paul-Palin?!? And the fact that it's their best ticket... man, that gives me the shudders. But also gives me hope.
