Who do you think has run the country the last 8 years? Bush or Cheney?

[WI_DEM]

I think Cheney very easily manipulated Bush, but that Bush was a willing tool.

1. what you said. .eom

2. I believe Cheney was the shadow pRresident from the outset.

He was the money power guy, Bush was just a name and resided in a large state.

The whole B.S. about Cheney searching the nation over for Bush's Vice-Presidential running mate only to have Bush choose him was just a sham.

I believe Cheney and his corporate masters knew he could never win the Presidency on his own run, so they decided on a stealth run by convincing a light weight to run on the condition, Cheney would be the Vice-pResident while calling the shots from the shadows.

The corporate media covered Bush's backside by camouflaging his obvious shortcomings, lies and mistakes, throughout the campaign.

3. Cheney, while convincing Bush his manliness demanded whatever action Cheney had planned.

4. The Bilderbergers :)

5. None of the above?

It's pretty clear that the pharmaceutical companies have been running the FDA, the coal companies have been running MSHA, ADM the USDA, Goldman Sachs has been running Treasury, and so on, and so on, and so on.

6. Jr was only a vehicle for cheney and friends to ride on into the white house

I've never felt w was anything except a clueless drunk. Raygun for that matter worked for some of these same crooked assed bastids. IMO

7. I think it was

Satan.

8. I agree

Bush had the presidency he wanted.

9. Both?

I thought the USA could not have two active presidents at one time?

10. People deep in the shadows always have and always will run it.

Those in the front are window dressing. Every 4 or 8 years the herd rejoices
a new beginning and the learn to hate process begins anew.

12. If I absolutely had to choose from only Boosh, Cheneyburton or Nancy's astrologer ...

.... I'd choose the astrologer every time.

13. Neither - they just were the tools - political hirelings who served the Monsters.

The Monsters, of course, are the non-human machines which we call corporations. The Financial Machines ran Treasury, the Murder Machines ran the Defense Department, the Land Raping Machines ran Interior, The Oil Machines ran Energy ....
