If Vice President Cheney was having an affair . . .

[bryant69]

How much do you care?

Obviously a secondary question is if you do care, why? But crafting the poll that way is tiring so you are stuck with this.

1. If it can be used to bring him down,

then a whole hell of a lot.


But personally? Nah.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

25. Ta-da!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

2. Damn straight it is.

What's good for the Clenis is good for the Cheney.

BBWWWAAAAAAHHHAAAAAAA!

[vptpt]

10. Maybe we could call it the Chenis!

[Rocknrule]

30. His first name is "Dick"

the nicknames are so much more obvious than Chenis

[vptpt]

31. Yeah, so I noticed

Party pooper. I was only playing.

[Hobo]

32. Why not the ....

peney? instead of the chenis. I just saying.

Hobo

:beer:

3. Because if he did, the Republican mantra will be that it is a personal

matter, it has nothing to do with his ability to run the govt., etc. I'm sure thousands of quotes from the 90s can be dug up to highlight the hypocrisy.

[Norquist Nemesis]

7. Ah, but the "private matter" IS being tossed out there! n/t

[Arkansas Granny]

11. But the sex was a private matter between consenting adults.

Do you think old Harry consented to this shooting?

[bryant69]

22. Yeah but it seems like there woudl be plenty of hypocricy to go around

I mean we would be saying "Well now personal sexual business does matter. Because we don't like you."

[livetohike]

4. The RW only understands sex scandals

They (RW) pretend they are so moral and ethical. If there is an affair, it would send the Repub party into a tailspin.

This whole incident seems like one of those film noir movies to me.

[Ninga]

5. I woud be impressed with a man of Cheney's age, and all of the

heart meds he was on........being able to HAVE an AFFAIR.......would impress me.

Besides, all of us would be posting in the sex threads.

And then, Cheney would be compaired to Clinton and his sex thing.

So, lots of fuel for fodder which is fun.

[Norquist Nemesis]

6. It's the Cheney Affair

What goes around comes around. Pretty damned important, I'd say.

[Cooley Hurd]

8. They made "personal life" fair game when they went after Big Dog...

They drew the line in the sand, NOT us...

[dolo amber]

23. And thus the thing to do is abandon our principles and be

big fat hypocrites ourselves? Nice strategery. :thumbsup:

[Cooley Hurd]

24. No... this is about exposing THEIR hypocrisy...

...which, when done on a regular basis, whittles away at their credibility.

[KittyWampus]

9. Only as far as it displays the unrelenting Hypocracy of the Right Wing

psuedo-moralists who talk about "Family Values" a great deal but utterly fail to demonstrate them in policy and in their daily lives.

[Burried News]

12. With significant GOP funding coming from gambling - lottsa people

don't like that.

15. Peppergate gets spicier all the time. Pic of a sterile pepper shoot.

You can't make this stuff up.

[nickinSTL]

13. not important...but...

they used it to bring down Clinton...so, I'm not opposed to using it to bring down Cheney.

[txindy]

14. It is extremely important.

I wouldn't want to miss seeing LynneTheLesbianRomanceNovelist b*tchslapping Darth
up and down the streets of DC!

[Burried News]

16. K&R Yah

[tinfoilinfor2005]

17. Affair is such a strong word. Which bimbo do you think Dick was with

that afternoon? The Armstrong lady looked too tough, too mouthy, too much like Lynn. Probably would like chains and leathers. Likes to "season" her prey by peppering them. I think dead-eye dick was with the blonde.

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. It's only important if a democrat is having an affair

[HereSince1628]

19. If the shot was accompanied by premature ejaculation it would be news

we might be looking for a stain on a little orange vest...

The only thing we know is that this woman was in the hunting party. If Cheney gets a thrill out of walking with an armed woman on his day off, or even screwing her brains out on private property on his day off it is his business.

BUT...

It's not the shooting, by either big gun or little gun, that's important. What is important is the cover up. It's not just more evidence of a pattern in Cheney behavior it also could be a deliberate obstruction of justice with Cheney involving government employees in the cover up.

[Catchawave]

20. Why I think it's important.....

Bush-Cheney WON the White House in 2000 campaigning on morals and integrity. If Cheney's hiding his twinkie, it just pisses me off. Obviously the GOP didn't want to leave Bill alone, while we thought it was a private matter either :shrug:

[bryant69]

33. How do we close that circle?

If we all just get up and change seats - well yeah, that's hypocritical of the Republicans to hound Clinton and ignore Cheney - but how do we ignore Clinton and hound Cheney and claim to be much better?

Bryant

[Catchawave]

34. Clinton didn't send his "victim" to the ICU ?

Something like that, another DUer said it much better.

Of course we all agree what Clinton did was wrong, and he got caught in a lie, and impeaching the Clenis cost us taxpayers about 72 million bucks. That's what I haven't ignored. Hell, the goppers are bringing up Chappaquidick, I didn't ignore that either at that time, a young lady died. What have we learned?

[bryant69]

42. OK - are you aguing that Wittington is Cheney's Mistress?

That's . . . odd. But i guess if Cheney blew Whittington away under those circumstances it woudl be more serious than Monica and Bill.

21. I personally don't care but it is important for the fundies to care! ;)

[mattclearing]

26. The American people rejected Ken Starr's sex witchhunt.

They will reject this one as well.

I'm just reminding you all that when the Republicans went after Clinton over a blowjob, his approval rating shot up to 68%.

Let's keep our eye on the ball here.

Cheney's sexual shenanigans, if indeed that's what happened here, are not going to deliver us Congress this fall.

Going after Cheney for sex will make hypocrites of us all.

[bryant69]

28. I suspect we'll realize this as a party and let it go

On the other hand this may turn out to be a Trent Lott situation - the Republicans take a chance to replace a guy who can't do too much for them anyway and, at the same time, take a shot at us for "hounding him from office."

36. And the GOP went ahead anyway....

I suspect a good many people will think "What's good for the goose...." and take joy in seeing the flabby old drunk squirm

[Evergreen Emerald]

37. Where is the press?

The Press was rabid in their Lewinski stories. Not one question, not one inkling of a thought about it.

[MrBenchley]

39. On the other hand

there was a non-denial denial in the Times yesterday....

[Evergreen Emerald]

40. missed it!

dang.

[MrBenchley]

41. There was a story carefully pointing out that

Harry was there with his wife...as if anyone was wondering what the guy who got shot had been up to.

[Patiod]

27. Care? Not really. Enjoy? Immensely!!

I would love a good sex scandal on so many levels! Celebrity prurience, plus the sheer joy of throwing it in the face of those who thought Bush & Co would "bring decency back to the White House".

The only downside is the negative effective on appetite posed by the possibility that I might envision Cheney nude and/or engaged in intimate activities (then again, I could stand to drop some weight)

[mikelewis]

29. Yuck

[lonestarnot]

35. OMG who would want that pig?

[dogday]

38. I care about as much as I did about the Clenis

But I want as much "exposure" as that story recieved as well... They keep saying, no story here, but when you watch the hunting of the president, you see they kept on till they made the story.

[Strawman]

43. I care, but only to make fun
