Where's the outrage (Re: Cheney)
I heard the news about the base Cheney was visiting being attacked, and despite the fact that the guy is as evil as "Simon Bar Sinister", I would never wish harm to him, or any other American politician. I guess that makes me different than the average Freeper. I would like for someone in the media to pull their nose out of Britney Spears crotch and ask a simple question though.

Where is the outrage?

I've watched and listened as our MSM and Hate-wing Radio piled righteous indignation, after righteous indignation, after righteous indignation upon any Democrat who speaks out against this mis-administration and their war policies. The mantra is always the same. "Politics should end at the border", we're repeatedly told. "Americans who question their country while overseas are traitors", is shoved in our faces.

And yet, there is Dick Cheney visiting Australia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and any other place AF 2 can take him accusing the Democrats, and the American people who overwhelming voted for them in November of "aiding and abetting the enemy". There's Dick Cheney on foreign soil, accusing the 2ND in line to the presidency and the American people who put her there of "advocating the Al Quaida strategy in Iraq".

I'd like to know Dick, whatever happened to "politics ending at the border"? Or does that only apply to Democrats?

Make no mistake about it Dick. There's someone in this sorry mess that is committing treason, and it sure as hell isn't the American people.

I don't know if that makes you different from "the average Freeper", but it makes you different from me.

"The country" is usually taken to mean "the leaders' policies", not "the highest-ranking Senator" or "the results of the latest Congressional elections".

20. Yes, I know. Just think, tho, you don't want YOUR bad karma to
be the one to do him in!

I have this theory that people do what they think they do. As they think, so they do. So if Dick Cheney is thinking bad karma, he is responsible for his own bad karma. You don'thave to do anything.

That's easy!

10. Different rules for Democrats and Republics, and a unique set for The Dick
of Death. The Dick of Death answers to no one. The Dick of Death lies with authority and ease.

11. Traveling the world and talking trash........
about the American voters and politicians is outrageous. Where are the neo-turds on this plain unpatriotic act?

They must be running for the plane too.

12. Wondering
I couldn't help but wonder why he was on this tour of all these countries where he is bullying them into "cooperating" why? Why is he acting like the leader now? Is the chimp about to have an unforeseen consequence. Another why is the chimp scheduled to be in Paraquay I believe the first week of March? Will he be coming back? Where will Dick be during this time - in his bunker? Just wonderingj.

14. Agree ~ he should be kicked out of office
and for sure he should not be allowed to represent our country anywhere but in his bathroom with the door closed.

15. It's MSM who decides who is likable, electable, treasonous or to be ignored.
How dare you talk out of turn?

18. There is a positive side to this...
By doing this, Dearth Dick demonstrates to the world just how far out of step the administration is with the governed.

As to wishing him harm, I wish for his karma to catch up with him before the reaper does.
