The Politics of Lying

[bemildred]

After a brief period of verbal abstinence, Dick Cheney, the former vice president under George W. Bush, seems to have returned to life with more strength than Frankenstein.

I recognize that comparing Cheney to Frankenstein could seem unjust. After all, Frankenstein, the monster invented by Mary Shelley, is a victim of his circumstance and only resorts to crime as a means of revenge after being ostracized, tormented and discriminated against.

Cheney is another type of monster. In all likelihood, he is probably the vice president that has done the most damage to the United States, because he is jointly responsible for the deaths of thousands of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians caused by unfounded speculation.

In addition, he is one of the principal authors of the current disaster in Iraq; furthermore, he is a pathological liar who is attempting to politically resurrect himself by blaming President Obama for the chaos in Iraq and by proposing that the country enact a renewed military intervention.

1. I would really love to know why Pelosi didn't impeach him

and why Obama/Holder didn't prosecute him. Basically every republican president starting with Nixon has committed an impeachable offense. the fact that Ford, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II were never prosecuted is a big part of the problem we have.

2. It is easy to speculate about that one, but I've never been convinced.

And especially given the Clinton impeachment, I would have thought it a happy thought for the Democrats.

4. It was obvious they were overjoyed. It was like winning an E ticket. nt

5. "unfounded speculation"

Nope. Blatant, knowing lies. There is a difference.
