dick cheney does whatever he wants & you are powerless to stop him.

[Philosoraptor]

And this is no joke. Why we aren't kicking down his door and arresting him is the question of the decade.

Are we AFRAID of the big bad dick?

[muriel_volestrangler]

1. If there's any politician who'd literally barricade himself in, it's Cheney

You'd need his secret service detail to be in on the arrest - they might need to disarm him. Seriously, I'd expect he keeps a handgun around, and he'd think about using it if anyone tried to arrest him.

[KharmaTrain]

2. Get The Crimes And Let's Go...

Doofus Addington has put his boss on some real legal thin ice here and if there was any time to nail this bastard it's now. Hopefully the Wilson's attorney is watching this situation closely as he may have the goods to do what you're asking for...taking crashcart down for his role in Plamegate.

Now if crashcart isn't a member of the "Executive"...then his invocation of Executive Privilidge...such as hiding the energy committee names or his selective waiving the "authority" to "de-classify" Plame's identity and slime her...is not only null and void but a misrepresentation and abuse of power.

The crimes this autocrat has committed are on such a scale that international justice is called for. If there was anyone deserving of being tried on war crimes, it's chenney.

Yep, the politicians are afraid. Afraid of being "pummeled" by the Mighty Wurlitzer and to "piss off" anyone...but lawyers can prosecutors aren't. If anything, we hopefully will see some intrepid investigators and prosecutors rise here as the damage chenney's created to the Constitution demands he be called into account.

Cheers...

3. Dick scares me....

due to the fact that with charges, he will in essence be fighting the Constitution in the Supreme Court. How many appeals and years will that take? The evil bastard will be dead before it is over. He knows this and knows he pretty well can do what the fuck he wants for the remainder of chimpboy's reign (that is, if the reign ends - chimpboy is just apt to declare Martial Lay just to stay dictator of the US). Dickhead Dick having this perspective makes him a very dangerous man.
:scared:

4. It is interesting

to consider other figures in Washington who intimidated their friends and foes alike. The two that come to mind are J. edgar Hoover and LBJ. Perhaps equally important is to consider why their friends and foes were so afraid of them, that they often behaved like dogs with their tails between their legs.

[ixion]

5. one word: blackmail

If you've got photos of a married Senator (or whomever) with a prostitute (male or female), you've made a friend for life, as it were.

[Philosoraptor]

20. Don't forget dick's anthrax love letters.

[ixion]

28. good point.... I guess it would be three words

"blackmail" and "death threats"

[KG]

6. you've pretty much nailed it.

asking him 'pretty please' for anything just aint gonna work. he laughs mockingly at those that still view the constitution as the law of the land.

he's the ultimate RWer, he respects nothing but power.

[Double T]

7. dick and his left hand 'man' george have hijacked our democracy.......

and our country. It is interesting and strange there are very few in washington, d.c. doing ANYTHING about it. This is a HUGE problem when psychopaths are elected to the highest offices in the land; THEY are in the same class as hitler and other despots.

[DemReadingDU]

8. I've wondered that myself

Why hasn't anyone made this an issue for people to talk about and do something. Everyone hears about Paris Hilton, she's in jail. Why can't somebody do something about dick and george and the rest of them.

[Philosoraptor]

10. Paris the millionaire defies the law twice & goes to jail.

dick orders half a million Iraqis dead, 3,500 soldiers dead, pisses in our faces and tells us to fuck off and die and he's still in office.

America is a sick joke.

[soothsayer]

9. they do stick to their guns---no wavering, no flip flopping, and everyone else

just sits there and fumes. Congress is a toothless animal.

[mmonk]

11. Yes. A lawless nation takes many allies.

I cringe at what we're dealing with. A true and separate ruling class exits now. Democracy through the ballot box is an illusion only a fool can still believe in.

[Philosoraptor]

12. Voting is now as useless as impeachment.

[Philosoraptor]

13. glitch--please delete, thanx mods

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

14. Well, he's done whatever the hell he's wanted and no one's stopped him, to date.

The fact that he's violated this nation's interests, stolen from its coffers, sacrificed the trust and lives of its people, treated its laws as mere ink on paper, spat on its Constitution, literally said "fuck you" to its representatives, profiteered/s off bloodshed and so on and so forth,...AND has gotten away with all of that, demonstrates he CAN CONTINUE TO DO WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS, without much fear of any repercussion or consequence.

[Philosoraptor]

15. Rule of law doesn't apply to him, yet WE ARE BOUND BY IT.

[Hubert Flottz]

16. Dickster Evil has stolen America's MoJo.

This is series!1!1!11!!11!

And the Freepers still don't know they've been had!

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. I think that most GOP white males want to be that Alpha Dog, and if

anyone goes against Dick Cheney, it could create another David Koresch moment. I think it's true that the Democratic leaders are suffering from battered wife syndrome; and I think it's true that they're giving Dick Cheney and his Federalist Society pals, far too much credibility to lawyer the language.

You want to tear down the entire Federalist Society? Get Ted Olson on the air and have him explain why Dick Cheney is not in jail, and when his explanation turns out to be ludicrous, have the balls to come out and ask, "Do right-wing white men have more privilege in America, because we KNOW if Dick Cheney was a Democrat, all 91% r-w talk radio shows would demand that he be put in jail."

[Philosoraptor]

18. If Gore had done what dick has....OY the republican wailing & whining.

[The Backlash Cometh]

21. They would form a militia and march to the White House and camp

out on the grounds and demand that he be turned over.

[DemReadingDU]

19. Bush & Cheney need an intervention

People of America, millions, need to go to DC, and Demand removal of Bush & Cheney. Millions need to stay in DC until Bush & Cheney are removed.

[The Backlash Cometh]

23. The country needs an intervention. Bush and Cheney just stole our cheese.

[DemReadingDU]

26. Yes, exactly!

Something needs to wake up millions of Americans, to grab their attention, that their constitution is being dissolved. I need to re-read this book...

[seemslikeadream]

27. battered wife syndrome

ABSOLUTELY and all battered wifes would agree with you. They understand it all too well

[peekaloo]

22. Capo di tutti capi. The Dick of ALL Dicks.

I agree with the above posters, must be some serious blackmail taking place.

[Annces]

24. I have seen a lot of men in power squeeze and strangle

and people cower. I have seen it in many of my bosses. I have seen it in families. Maybe women are capable of it, but I have never seen it. I am surprised more like him have not made it to power in the white house.

[Philosoraptor]

25. Who's afraid of the big bad dick? And WHY?

I swear the whole nation acts like it's afraid of dick cheney, senators and congrressmen and women cower at his very name, he snarls, he hisses, he farts poisonous gas, he tells us all to fuck off and die, how does this fat pig radiate so much fear?

What gives dick his air of fuck-you-bility? Does he know something that we don't? How can he piss in our faces like this and know in his heart that we won't go a goddamned thing about it? How the fuck did it get like this?

[lonestarnot]

29. I'm not afraid of Dick. Did Zell die? Why no duel challenge?

[Hubert Flottz]

30. "How the fuck did it get like this?"

The Filthy Five On The SCOTUS thwarted the will of the people in Bush vs Gore.

Impeach what's left of them!

[Philosoraptor]

31. ...........

[Prophet 451]

32. Frankly, yes

Have you looked at that guy? Eyes like a serial killer. I am in fact convinced that the shooting of his buddy was no accident, it was part of Dick's periodic human hunting exhibitions. He probably made a trip to NOLA after Katrina just to be able to clean out his freezer by dumping all the parts in floodwater.

That guy fuckin' scares me.

[alfredo]

33. I wonder if they have found a way to stay in office after 2008?

I'm sure Alberto Gonzales has been working on it.

[Kablooie]

35. If they want to they will. Congress can't do anything about it.

[alfredo]

37. I guess it is up to us to stand in the way if they do try to hold

power beyond their legal term.

[Kablooie]

34. Dick Cheney is a much, much better politician than all the Democrats put together.

Obviously since he can flagrantly and openly break any law, defile our country, and rape each and every citizen of this nation and no one has any idea how to do anything about it.

Our Congress, including the Democrats, should be held responsible for everything this administration does.

I'm beginning to think that Democratic leaders should be tried as criminal accomplices to Bush and Cheney's crimes.

[TahitiNut]

36. In the "land of the free and home of the BRAVE"??

The nation with a history of labor SOLIDARITY? The nation where physical fitness is second only to education and mental health?? The nation that thumps its collective chest over "winning" World War II??

Perish the thought. :eyes:
