WE JUST DO NOT CARE, DICK

The Gang's All Here

I really, really hate devoting my time and energy writing about Dick Cheney and hopefully I will be able to resist the temptation to do it ever again. The man is just so vile. No, I do not know him personally (thankfully as I would have been shot by now, too, only not with buck shot) and that is a strong statement that I usually do not make about any human being. But Dick is is a league all by himself.

The other members of the Bush administration including Senor Bush have had the sense to fade off into the background. But, not Dick. Dick has seemingly embarked on the “Somebody Please Listen to Me” tour. What is so laughable is that for the past eight years when he was requested to speak he hid from everyone. Now, it seems he has so much to say. Yet, the truth is he had nothing to say then and still has nothing to say.

His whole defense of the “enhanced interrogations” is very funny. First and foremost, Cheney never had the guts to actually serve in the military but yet he is all-knowing when it comes to the use of the military and interrogation techniques. I dare dear ol’ Dick to stand before the thousands if not millions of military families adversely affected by all of this and say he has no regrets. He says torture was necessary but violence of any kind only produces more violence. So, rather than protecting the American people as he purports his actions placed our men and women in more danger.

Then he wants to act as some sort of elder statesman advising the GOP on how it should be. Dick, seems to not want to recognize that when he and W took office there were strong Republican majorities in Congress. For about four years or so the GOP could have done just about anything it wanted. They could have outlawed abortion or brought back prayer in school. They did not even touch on the subject. Rather, all they were concerned about (including Dick) were lining their own pockets with as much cash as possible. Fiscal conservatives??? Yea, right, more like spend happy drunken sailors. The result of Cheney’s efforts has been a party in shambles with very weak minorities in both houses of Congress and fewer Republican governors, fewer party members, and fewer “red” states. Nice job Dick.

But, what really set me off was Dick’s swipe at Colin Powell (he said he did not know Powell as still a Republican). His comment just showed how truly dishonorable Dick is. He wants to criticize a man who fought in wars, rose up through the ranks, and is a decorated officer of the military? Oh, please, shut up Dick.

If Dicky C truly had anything to say he would tell us how he was actually one of the masterminds between the “attacks” of 9/11. He would tell us just how much money he made from the war. And, he would laugh in all of our faces and admit that he screwed us all and thanks to Obama will get away with it.

Tell the truth, Dick, or shut up.
