Did you know this about Dick Cheney? |
|
"When Rep. Dick Cheney voted against a 1986 resolution calling for the release of Nelson Mandela and recognition of the African National Congress, Americans did know this man had been waiting decades for his freedom. In a larger sense, so had all black South Africans. The tenets of American democracy -- one man, one vote -- were denied to the majority of citizens, along with the most basic economic and educational needs.
Yet Republican vice presidential candidate Cheney still defends his vote, saying on ABC's ``This Week'' that ``the ANC was then viewed as a terrorist organization. . . . I don't have any problems at all with the vote I cast 20 years ago.'' What, then, does this tell us about what information Cheney considers before he takes a decision? And what the long-term consequences are likely to be, and on whom?"

4. Doesn't surprise me one bit |
|
He is evil to the core.
I don't view Jr. as EVIL, I view him as an Idiot Frat Boy.
Cheney is EVIL, just plain evil.

6. A Republican might say... |

"Yes I knew it. Of course I knew it. It's why I voted for him."

7. Evil does not happen overnight. He had to have been that way for a |
|
very long time to have gotten so proficient at being so evil. I am sure he started at a very early age. Think "The Omen".

12. What a guy. How does he sleep at night and face himself in the mirror. |
|
Pure unadulterated evil. There's a special ring of hell reserved for him.

The Bushes are evil, yet pragmatic. They use evil for personal gain. Cheney does that too, but mainly he just seems to enjoy it for sport. One Sick Bastard, he is.
