He did nothing to protect this country

rather he was steering it. Darth wanted both of those wars.

but if they were part of it we cannot prove that.

Negligent mass homicide.

that it was bush and cheney's fault that we got attacked. Troop volunteers were misled that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11. Even politicians were misled. The weapons of mass destruction were baloney.

Only a twisted soul would bring that up as if it's a problem.

Start unnecessary wars to enrich Halliburton, kill soldiers so there are future families to feed.

Win-win for the plutocrats.

Except that dead soldiers already have families. "Whoops, we made a mistake."

But I'm laughin'...
this is GOP..
on.

The Cold War is over and the War on Terror was a fake.

On top of that, Cheney is a serial liar.

despicable person if ever there was one. History will not be kind to that cretin thats for sure

8 billion Is being cut from food stamps by "Bi-partisan" Farm bill.

I guess letting people strave rather than cutting bloated defense spending Is fine with him.

He could have said the food stamp program was cut to supply money to a new Halliburton venture.

Taxpayers have paid millions of $$$ to keep this Dickless 5 deferment racist alive., It was NOT money well spent. He, and his clone daughter, are despicable.

I'd believe the opposite.

until they are 18 then they can go to war and get their meals from the MIC. Except malnourished children don't make good soldiers DICK. Being a war monger you should know that. And just maybe we don't want wars but rather healthy well fed children with an education is preferred.

"Food stamps"- mental picture - black people standing with their grocery carts filled with beer, lobster, and steaks.

Good Ole'Dick knows how to ring the right bells for his Montana audience.

I drove past a Masonic Temple in southern Wisconsin when the food giveaway was in progress. Wall to wall WHITE people. Lots of them. Their wimp governor should show up at one of these sights, and see what he has done to the state. I was shocked, so I am certain that Walker would be too. Very sad what this once proud country has fallen down into.

more white people are on food stamps. However, that is not what the "average" white bigot thinks when the issue of government food stamps is discussed and the Rep's know how to exploit it. This goes back to Ray Gun Reagan using his Cadillac Welfare Queen to motivate his base.

Answer: NO!

When will this pustule on humanity go away?

That's about it. Oh, that, and the *Deficit* is not important.

As CEO he almost brought the company into bankruptcy, he was so inefficient. So, once he plac ed HIMSELF into the VP position, it was payback time. And how! Low life, with lots of money is STILL a low-life. Now he has started one of these money making conservative money raising scams like Rove enriches himself with. Cheney and vicious Lizzie are quite a team. Death and destruction are always on their agenda. He will live forever, just like Bush Sr. Bleed taxpayers for every last cent. Besides, the Devil does not want competition like Dickless in his territory.

that this guy was human a while back. He's just a waste of good breathing air. Sadly a lot of GOPers think exactly that way until they need assistance themselves that's different.

You miserable idiot

There is only one who is ten times so.

He says that like there's something wrong with cutting defense in favor of food stamps.

I think THAT stragegy was in place BEFORE he gave himself the VP job. It will be interesting to see which Sunday gop propoganda show he will be on this week. What about pitbull Lizzie, does she travel with the old bastard now?

Cutting our bloated defense budget to feed the poor sounds like a great idea to me.
Your 'two war' strategy was an utter failure, so why is anyone listening to you again?

stupidly and transparently racist. How common a person this one is.

I think the threadstarter summed up the takeaway nicely.

After all, a lot of them end up on food stamps, due to the war those creeps started.

your two wars weren't even paid for. I really think you were born stupid and then took stupid lessons to enhance your stupidity. You are a worthless piece of protoplasm. NOBODY gives a crap what you have to say. JUST GO AWAY!!!!

against malnutrition.

Jail is too good.

'Get thee behind me, satan" ......Time for you to get lost, warmonger, baby killer.

For which he was compensated how much?

“Over Cheney’s four years as secretary of defense, encompassing budgets for fiscal years 1990-93, DoD’s total obligational authority in current dollars declined from $291.3 billion to $269.9 billion. Except for FY 1991, when the TOA budget increased by 1.7 percent, the Cheney budgets showed negative real growth: -2.9 percent in 1990, -9.8 percent in 1992, and -8.1 percent in 1993. During this same period total military personnel declined by 19.4 percent, from 2.202 million in FY 1989 to 1.776 million in FY 1993. The Army took the largest cut, from 770,000 to 572,000–25.8 percent of its strength.”

that you should beat your swords into "newer" swords and charge 12 times what they are worth?

Openly he shows his true colors. I would be terribly embarrassed to let people know I preferred war to life sustaining endeavors. You would think all his religious right constituents would shun him for that attitude yet he flaunts it!

The food stamps really aren't the problem. It was Bush's two wars off-budget that put our country in such extreme death that the Republicans had to harp about it endlessly.


Oh -- the two wars off-budget, lowering taxes for the rich and exporting all our heavy industry, all the industry that made our money for the many, many years prior to Reagan, that put us into debt.

Essentially, we fought to wars with folks very far from us, gave all our savings to our rich Uncle Joe and quit work. That's what we did. But isn't Cheney some kind of economic genius in the view of the press. He's got the economic sense of a 3-year-old in a cnady store with a dollar in his pocket.

Why is ANYONE interested in what Cheney says. He is a has-been, a loser, not very bright really. Please don't post anything more about Cheney on DU. You are just encouraging the press. His words stir up controversy and the press oves it.

which we deterred by preparation and ended up fighting those for which we were not.

Is anybody listening to this sorry excuse for a human being? Why is he getting print and air time? Can't someone please shove him back under the slimy, shit encrusted rock he crawled out from?

I can understand FOX, but NBC????

The only time I ever want to hear anything about this guy is when someone announces his demise.

It is written in the Big Book of the Sky Daddy:

"Lo, I say onto you: fuck the poor, let's make war"

UGH HE MAKES ME SICK

... I

Spending the country's money on butter, instead of guns.

Shocking.

i don't begrudge him, but the money spent on his healthcare is probably equivalent to a thousand families' food stamp benefits.

i would recommend that he not get us all thinking about whether we are wasting money on people when he's been on the receiving end so many times.

Isn't relentless militarism one of the defining characteristics of Fascism?

And doesn't this guy realize how transparent he is?

Even if he had to lie to start them.

Isn't it better to spend money feeding people than killing people?

This was an awesome response! Thank you kindly. Have a realllly blessed day....
Until i saw your post, all I wanted to say was, "Fuck him six times with a broken bottle in both eyes." Yours was such a better comment, and I felt ashamed. Thanks for lifting me out of the mud where I was clearly wallowing.

As outgoing CEO, his guys got a sweetheart deal indeed. No bids, no competition, inflated replacement costs, and less than stellar performance in the field with little or no repercussion. All they needed was a war, and Cheney had his profiteers at the gate once his contrived war was underway. Yes, a lot of the trillion+ $$$ Cheney and his band of neocons squandered in Iraq could have been better spent. But god forbid if it had gone to repair outdated infrastructure, or help those who needed it the most. Food Stamps? Oh the horrors!

That son of bitch has been a leech on the taxpayer's teat for the last several decades.

in earnest with Nixon is over. They are flapping and floundering around, and are dangerous, you know about wolves backed into a corner.

But it is astonishing that he thinks this is some idea that will have resonance with the public. Wars with no purpose but to enrich a few and kill and maim many more are not that popular with ordinary people.

Funny that would mention even brag about the two wars they couldn't finish, . . . . . and still pushing for more wars.

Has he ever done anything admirable in his nasty little life?

Obama deserves the crap he gets from this piece of shit war criminal for not prosecuting him but the American people don't deserve fruit of the influence from the poison he spews so go the fuck away deadeye Dick.

Fuck off and die. Please consider that second part an official request.

Crawl back into your hole, DICK!

As for the former "consequential veep", he can go cheney himself.

and so many pieces of shit like him keep going and going

CHENEY GIVES PLAN TO REDUCE FORCES BY 25% IN 5 YEARS
By MICHAEL R. GORDON, Special to The New York Times
Published: June 20, 1990

Defense Secretary Dick Cheney today sent to Congress his promised plan for cutting the armed forces by 25 percent over the next five years, outlining a smaller Army, Air Force and Navy than proposed by the military services.

poor Cheney the gravy train has slowed to a trickle! and there are no grocery stores that take USA FOOD STAMPS in DUBAI

Obama would be fine with funding the military more quite frankly, so if a certain party weren't so debt debt debt focused, we'd have more money for food stamps AND the military...and to stimulate the economy.

Only one of us is correct.
