Who is tired of the Cheney threads already? |
|
It seems like one out of every two threads on DU is about him. Aren't there more important things to be discussing? Seriously, this is getting old.

53. The plea by this gang was "Just trust us" and Bwana Dick blew a hole in it |
|
for all to see.
And then they tried to cover it up....and when the news emerged, blamed the victim.

17. The Vice President of the United States SHOT a man ... |
|
Edited on Mon Feb-13-06 09:22 AM by ShortnFiery
This issue should lead EVERY main stream media event.
How many people do you know in public office have NOT ONLY shot another human being (outside of war) BUT also put them into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)?!?
This is HUGE! We need a briefing from the doctors? The victim has not been let up off of the morphine to truly make a lucid statement. Further being in ICU, he could still DIE.
Damn straight, this is monumental!

33. That's the problem with us Democrats ... |

Yes, intellectually, there are many more important issues.
However, politics is run by hype in Bush-World. We may hate it but WE ALL live in 1984 Bush-World.
If and only if we want to make a difference, we should grab a hold of this issue and NEVER let up until his resignation.
Albeit the nutty fringe of the RW jokes, many average and moderate Republicans can identify with this issue on a "gut level."
You want to get Dick out of the Vice Presidency, drive this issue home!
Yes, the Vice President shooting a man is now *all-important* for the media spin.
Remember, the average American is too busy working 2-3 jobs or dumbed down with talking points and wedge issues to address the TRULY IMPORTANT issues that effect most of the country.
Bring it on home, IMO, dig dig dig the dirt and don't let up of "Eagle Eye Cheney."

Edited on Mon Feb-13-06 09:30 AM by montana500
making him look like the goon he is in an election year is important. MAking people remember he is the vie rpesident right before Fitz moves on to him is important.
Anytime Cheney gets the spoylight it is VERY BAD for the administration. He has terrible poll numbers. Having all these threads and jokes in the media helps our cause, and brings light + help to every single on of our issues.

34. He needs to be discussed constantly. |

Whether it is this shooting incident or his leaking info to Libby or whatever his latest evil deed is, this monster needs more than anything else to be EXPOSED. No more hiding in dark, undisclosed locations.
More and more people are noticing that every single scandal and evil act of the Bush administration can be traced to Cheney. Every single one! He is the vilest member of a truly vile administration. Let's keep talking about it.
