"SO.............NO" - I Do NOT Care What The American People Think (Cheney)

[kpete]

Cheney Offended By Idea That He Should Care What You Think

RADDATZ: Two-third of Americans say it's not worth fighting.

CHENEY: So?

RADDATZ: So? You don't care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No.

6. nope just to keep in Iraq thats the plan

RBIL, Iraq (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney played the part of backroom power broker for two days and came away on Tuesday with pledges from Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds to firm up a new blueprint for U.S.-Iraq relations that will stretch beyond the Bush presidency.
Administration officials say they probably will not seek Senate approval of the plan because the agreement will not be a treaty that provides Iraq with specific security guarantees. This position has prompted a backlash in Congress, where Democrats have proposed legislation that would render the agreement null and void without the Senate's blessing.

I have posted this a few times because I am just so pissed about it.

5. I saw that interview (fume).

I wondered if this was the first time the executive branch ever came right out in the open and expressed that they don't give a flying F what the population that elected them thinks. Or-- is this is the start of a trend (Strengthen The Exective!) where once in office, you don't pay any attention to the "will of the people". Which?

11. I wish we could bring back tarred and feathered.

cause he so rightly deserves to be. That remark is a slap in the face to all of us, all of us. They are stripping us of our dignity and respect, this must end. We are the citizens of the United States not the serfs or slaves of this country.

12. He's not in Washington to care.

He's there to loot the Treasury.

16. "Who cares what you think?" GW Bush, 2001

Remember that? I think it was around July 4, 2001. Bush said this to a guy who said he didn't agree with Bush on something. Bush was smiling and shaking the guy's hand, but said to him: "Who cares what you think?"

They disenfranchised tens of thousands of people in Florida in 2000 and stole a national election. Bush and Cheney and their autocratic ilk have never cared what the will of the majority is.

18. thank you!
