3. I'm ashamed to be from a country that fears it's own vice president.

4. Hell, yes! I'm scared of him!
Not scared like I wouldn't spit on him, but scared on the order of the fact that he is responsible for the deaths of a million people or more and if that is not frightening, you ain't paying attention.

5. Yes!
.
Be there any one in USA willing to stage a coup, it is he. Many of Cheney's actions show just how far he is willing to go outside of the rule of law. Given how much is at stake, it is a great mistake to think Cheney is not willing to commit the final solution within the world of power.

Cheney has the forces and has shown himself willing to use them. He has to see how vulnerable he is once he leaves office and gives up power. He will not leave himself and family open to arrest.

The threat to democracy is real. Cheney will not leave peacefully.

Afraid of Cheney? Yes as long as he controls the government.

13. He has been in DC since the Nixon Administration
Trying to fix things so the Executive branch will have more power.

It doesn't take a tinfoil hat to see that he hates our system and would rather it just be authoritarian, with himself and his cronies in charge.

8. Not scared of him....
but certainly scared of what he could have done to me. The man himself? :rofl: The only reason he's still alive is the miracle of modern science. It's all of those weapons (and I'm not talking about guns) he has at his fingertips that alarm me. He could destroy me and my entire family with one phone call.

9. No...he'll pass on into history being the creep he is, a pariah,
he will be seen as another individual who abused power and will be a reminder to the future of jsut how poorly people can use their vote, if they don't ue their brain when in the process of voting.

12. If you aren't scared of him and Rove, you should be.
They are the two most dangerous men on the planet.

14. Fear Is What He Wants...I Won't Give Him The Satisfaction
As long as I can speak out...or stand up, I refuse to be coward by a bully. Cheney learned to intimidate others and use fear as a tool for his own ends...extorting the political system and operating with the terrorist tactics he so tries to scare the sheeple into thinking "our enemies" want to use. He should know...he's already using them.

I refuse to stand down to anyone...especially a bully. To be "afraid" is to to accept weakness. We are anything but weak.


Cheers...

:hi:

16. I always think of the word Evil when I think of Cheney. Like Howlin Wolf song:
"you know that's evil"

I think he is the one person who I really am afraid of, especially with him in the white house and with all that access.

18. Yes! I'm scared of the damage that he's doing, and can still do, to the world
Though I know one shouldn't give terrorists what they want by being scared of them.

I once read about a child who defined the word 'vice' as 'something bad, like a vice-president'; and that would certainly apply here!

Wrong! Being afraid is a healthy defense mechanism. How one reacts to fear is the test.

26. Scared silly...
I mean, if the man is capable of shooting a friend in the face, just think what he might do to a total stranger like me.
