What's Up With Dick Cheney

That's me changing the TV channel. Whether it's a politican, "movie star", sitcom etc...I just shut off what annoys me. .
Haha I agree

Is Powell still a rebublican?

[RICHARD]

LOL I will admit I got a laugh out of that, a really long and hard one

LOL, back at ya!

It really doesn't matter to me what political party he belongs to,
but the man has more "class" in his little finger than Dick Cheney has
in his whole body.

It took Dick 6 years to complete his 4 yr degree. (He asked for 6 deferments
to avoid service in Vietnam)

It took Dick 6 years to complete his 4 yr degree.

This has what to do with anything?

I have several very intelligent friends who took longer than the officially sanctioned 4 years to complete their degree.

I have even more friends who I'd count as higly educated who have no degree whatsoever.

I'd request that people use proper forms of address for current and present leaders, but we all know where that went the last time..........

For a guy who always hated the press & valued his privacy about all,
to change to a chatty cathy since leaving office. He is all over the TV
shows talking to who ever will listen to him. Maybe he thinks
he needs to explain/defend his actions of the last 8 yrs.

Whatever the reason, I wish he would just crawl back into his
undisclosed location & shut the heck up.

Looking back at the beginning of this topic. I say let him speak wherever and whenever he pleases - and invite Rush to tag along. If these two become the face of the present day Republican Party . . . .

I've come to believe the same. Let the big mouth blather on & on.
I don't think his poll numbers can get much lower. I think Cheney is
trying real hard to make his case for his past actions.

I even mentioned to one of my Republican friends how impressed I was that Bush II was not bashing Obama.

How silly I was.

Nothing has changed. Cheney is still doing the heavy lifting while Bush sits back and tries to look "presidential."

I do not think it will make a difference to how history judges either of them.

Totally... Lets give the Dems/Repubs all the rope they need to hang themselves. They are off to a grand start. There is little, if any, difference between them. I've yet to see anybody try to defend the current administrations (and the formers, for that matter) economic policy. I challenge anybody to make the case for Keynesian economics. How can it, especially given how it is being done now, lead to anything but extreme taxes and/or HYPER inflation. How does it provide LONG term opportunity and incentive for business to produce? Whats the point if it will just end up being taxed? Whats the point if the government, mostly made up of people who have never been in business, will tell you how to run your business? Are you all really that blind? Have you never read a history book?

There will be a little bump in 2010... And the press (and you) will say "see, we told you so." But then, all the roads will be built.... Bridges fixed.... Worthless windmills made... Then all the new money, fresh off the press, will begin chasing the same amount of goods and services. This translates into inflation. Ya think food and gas is expensive now????

It's also funny how we NEEDED to pass these stimulus bills NOW, else we would all go hungry. Yet, most of the money is not being spent until 2010.... An election year.... Huh....

Now sure, you all will defend it by saying that he is being prudent and all that... But did President Obama promise to NOT lead by fear? Hmmmm....

But don't worry... I'll keep working so I can pay for your Social Security.... Money that I will NEVER take and Hannah won't even have a chance to see.

We shall reap what we sow.

It means something to those of us who were around during the Vietnam Conflict.

It was one way to dodge the draft - student deferment - that along with the Guard - my bil at the time used the Guard. It was not easy to get in the Guard - there was a waiting list and you had to know someone (my late ex-bil was the son of a state trooper and had relatives in the state government.)

There were lots of guys on the six year plan back in those days! Especially if they had a low draft number...

It's a generation thing. Maybe you had to be there to understand it.

There is another thread here in the Dog House where the current president is referred to as "BO" and "Hussein Obama"...

When I see your objection to casual reference to current leaders in that thread I will believe in your sincerity.

Dont forget Barry.

Sara,

I'm well aware of the deferment process during the Vietnam Era Draft. However, separating what would be a legit 6 year tour through college and what was an intentional 6 year course of study would be damned near impossible.

As far as referring to politicians and other leaders by their proper titles, I don't scan every thread in the dog house, and I'm damned sure not going to jump up and run through every thread in here because some twit said I have to.

Can it.

And yes, Sara, that WAS an insult.

From a twit to a sanctimonious phony..."no."
