Lynne Cheney Offers Democracy Lesson (compares Iraq to US)

...when Lynne Cheney is the humanizing PR vehicle?

Our Constitution, by the way, Lynne, wasn't written to order by/for an occupying foreign army.

....in the hands of dictator and a foreign government invaded the US, toppled its dictator and gave us a deadline to create a constitution while occupying the country.

important point.

That's typical colonial discourse as well, by the way. The woman indeed speaks from the vantage point of a ruler indeed a few centuries ago.

Makes me mad they dare to equate our independance from England to the invasion in Iraq. Those people didn't ask to be thrust into a bloody war. Why don't the Dems give the Repubs a real History lession? Where are our Dems by the way. I've not heard much from them in over a week or two except for Kerry and Murtha and Dean.

Is elating the Neocons


oops forgot the "f"

in the way of founding this great country

the founding fathers to kick lying lynnes ass and the rest of these revisionist assholes.

and killing and killing and killing... and refusing to leave. there are similarities. we might have learned from our mistakes.

there was no justification for this Iraq war. it was premised on pure and hateful lies, and Lynne's husband was at the heart of those lies.

only electors appointed by the states got to vote. They didn't trust the people to select the president. The election was held in 1789. 10 states participated in the election. The New York legislature chose no electors, and North Carolina and Rhode Island had not yet ratified the Constitution. So therefore she is wrong.


(The electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a list of all the persons voted for, and of the number of votes for each; which list they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such majority, and have an equal number of votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately choose by ballot one of them for President; and if no person have a majority, then from the five highest on the list the said House shall in like manner choose the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by States, the representation from each State having one vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two thirds of the States, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. In every case, after the choice of the President, the person having the greatest number of votes of the electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal votes, the Senate should choose from them by ballot the Vice President.)

George Washington and Ahmad Chalabi, both "founding fathers" according to Lynne Cheney, a world-wide recognized expert in such things:

Lynne Cheney was quoting polls in Iraq that said most of the people wanted a democratic society.
The Miles O'brienn mentioned the poll that said that 58% of US citizens did not believe that the Smirk has a plan for Iraq.
Her answer?
We don't look at the polls.
Then :wtf: was she talking about????
