Millionaires [View All]

[ccpup]

With all the talk in the media of Ned Lamont being a Millionaire, perhaps it's time for us to begin a discussion about how much money Cheney has made from those Halliburton stock options he promised to divest himself of in the 2000 Debates. Or talk about how much the Bush Family has made since, oh, I don't know, the start of the Iraq War? If the Dems could surreptitiously have their few friends in the Media start asking questions like these (Keith? AirAmerica? Keith reporting something he heard from AirAmerica?), I suspect the American People would be hoppin' mad!

Just think back to the outrage "we" had over the earnings of certain CEOs in the last few years. Nothing gets Americans angrier than someone allegedly powerful getting a lot of money for what looks like nothing. Can you imagine what the reaction might be if they see Cheney has made $$$$$$$$$$ since his buddies at Halliburton got the no-bid contract to rebuild a city we destroyed?

And I think we Dems shouldn't point fingers, but simply ask (with our best "I just don't get it" faces) is this the right way for a sitting VP or the family of the President to be acting? To be evidently benefitting financially off what amounts to death and destruction? And it would be something we'd have to "ask" over and over again as I'm sure the MSM wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Just a thought. Hey, the Repugs ain't gonna play nice. We should we? I say we kick the sand in their faces and run off with their marbles first!
