Most vile, digusting moment in last night's debate
When Gwen Ifill brought up the polarization in America, Cheney took on this sad, phony sound in his voice, saying how he would like to see the divisions in the Senate and House end, how he wish he could see the same bipartisanship relations that Bush had as Governor in Texas. And that "Zell Miller is with us" statement was laughably stupid.

Hey, Clutch! You know damn well if you and Bush had your way, there would be no legislative branch of the government. You're forced to endure the Constitution and the Separation of Powers because you have no choice. Your idea of bipartisanship is rubber-stamping everthing that Bush sends to congress, like the DINOS did in the Texas legislature.

You pricks have never excepted that there are other planets in the solar system besides Texas.

1. Most repulsive moment was when he used the slaughter in El Salvador
to justify his admin's actions...especially considering those are records the Bushies still have hidden.

You're right, El Salvador was definately beyond the pale. What a maggot this Cheney be!

3. YES!
Cheneyfuck giving Zell Miller as an example of bi-partisan love. I did spit out loud at that one. That's exactamundo the kind of "two party" system they want in this country. Be afraid, very afraid.

5. Yes, Cheney still thinks the Earth is flat
The fact that while at the House on "Most Tuesdays" Cheney was not doing his job he was having secret separatist Republican Caucus' behind locked doors.

I know Edwards needed to stay on his agenda and not take Cheney's bait, but a clear rifle back to Cheney saying...

"You may be at the Senate on Tuesdays, but you certainly are not doing your job, presiding over the Senate, instead you are having private meetings behind LOCKED doors furthering the polarization in the Senate as well as America. In fact, Mr. Cheney, while doing my own job as a Senator, I've also had to do your Senate Job just as many times as you have in the last 4 years...TWICE. Maybe if you focused your energies on your job, instead of these LOCKED DOOR meetings we wouldn't have the division we have today. If you focused on your job more instead of these Republican Locked Door Caucus' we would have had more opportunities to meet, since you don't remember the other times we've had the pleasure of coming together."

:kick:

9. It's too late to clear things up after the show...:-(
Most people don't have time to stay informed. A very good friend of mine had no idea that Cheney lied about ever meeting Edwards. Like most of America, she went to bed last night, woke up this morning, rushed to get ready for work, didn't have time to stop for coffee...etc.

This administration knows that most Americans are barely keeping their head above water and do not have the time/energy to fact check. Dang it, I have a hard enough time doing my laundry and grocery shopping and I work from home.

No one is a watchdog for the American people. The time to counter these things is in the moment. Unfortunately, you can't anticipate all of the crap that they spew.

I could go on and on about this...RANT

12. When you leave something up to someone else to do...
they never do as good of a job as you would. It is appalling that the media is such a cow. They should all be ashamed. Every last one of them is pushing their own agenda. And we watch them! We buy the items advertised to give them the money to spread their distortions...RANT AGAIN These guys are paid millions of dollars, for what???? And journalism used to be a noble profession. Shame shame shame.. MORE RANT ugh

It's a little scary that sounded kind of like Nader or something.

6. Senator Lehey: Cheney partisan? He only meet with repigs...
he drives up to the Senate with his entourage and 20 government cars and they hide somewhere in secret. No democrat Senators are invited.

7. Cheney came out to break Edward's knee caps.
His lies were transparent.
If this was a Rove strategy, it shows
how out of touch Rove is.

I don't think even Cheney wanted to play it that way.

10. Mr Burms is a vile corrupt creature of profit
What else could he do but be himself.

I thought when JE exposed the fact that Cheney was CEO of Halliburton when he got caught doing business with the enemy should be pounded on by the Dems.

14. When he acted like he cared about the brave Iraqis dying...
He would stuff them in a grinder if he could get a
barrel of oil out of it.
