Pity for the Impotent Dick

[Downthestretch55]

I really don't know why so many people are piling on this guy.
He's been a straight shooter in the past. My guess is that his hunting buddy and he are still "friends", though I doubt they've been looking for quails lately. Fast trigger, shooting fast...Dick has had problems.
But look at all the good he's done!
Halliburton, and subsidiary Brown, Kellog & Root... all good!
Now Rahm wants to defund him? Oh my? Is Dick going to go limp?
Will he rise again?
The "Exectutive Branch" needs to STAND UP!...unless it's not part of that body. Shoot!
Straight and firm is the way to go!

So, what is all of this unviagra like behavior really about?
Someone please explain.

And now the Washington Post? I remember what happened to the last guy named Dick that they went after.
Is there no mercy?

LOL you're so punny.

[Downthestretch55]

This is an OUTRAGE!!! To say these kinds of things about one of the most patriotic vice presidents this country has ever, EVER! had.

Come on, Dick!!! STAND UP!! Don't go limp!
Dick, you must THRUST BACK!
Penetrate!
You have the POWER, Dick!

Dts, An honest question,
Are you really that bored, that you must sit around and come up with ways to post common dreams or huggington post articles? It would be great if you actually came up with your own ideas instead of posting something that someone else wrote. If i wanted to read those articles, I would go to that site.

Skippy,
Believe it or not, some of the things that are being said about my beloved Dick are just so...

so...

Well, I can't put "it" into words.

The claims that he's not part of the "executive branch"!!! Indeed!
Dick knows his branch!

Look at what these folks are saying about Dick:

When Dick finally comes up, I hope he sticks it right in their b-u-t-t-s!!

GO DICK!!!! GO!!!

And from one of my favorite books...

Dick goes up.
Up Dick.
Up.
Jane comes down.
Down Jane.
Down.
See Spot run.
Run Spot run!

Looks like DTS can't keep Dick out of his mouth.

Skippy, all penis jokes aside, DTS is posting this (I assume) because recently many things Cheney has said have come to light that make it pretty clear he considers himself above the law. From the Washington Post:

"For months, Olson and his Justice Department colleagues had pleaded for modest shifts that would shore up the government’s position. Hamdi, the American, had languished in a Navy brig without a hearing or a lawyer for two and a half years. Shafiq Rasul, a British citizen at Guantanamo Bay, had been held even longer. Olson could make Cheney’s argument that courts had no jurisdiction, but he wanted to “show them that you at least have some system of due process in place” to ensure against wrongful detention, according to a senior Justice Department official who closely followed the debates.

The vice president’s counsel fought and won again. He argued that any declaration of binding rules would restrict the freedom of future presidents and open the door to further lawsuits. On June 28, 2004, the Supreme Court ruled 8 to 1 in the Hamdi case that detainees must have a lawyer and an opportunity to challenge their status as enemy combatants before a “neutral decision maker.” The Rasul decision, the same day, held 6 to 3 that Guantanamo Bay is not beyond the reach of federal law."

In short, these kind of actions mean Cheney believes the Executive Branch has the right to imprison you, without charges, with no access to a lawyer or contact with your family, torture you, and never face any sort of legal ramifications. You could die in prison, never having been charged with anything, or with ever being permitted to know why you were imprisoned. This is a very big deal. This is supposed to happen in banana republics, not in the USA. And just because you don't want to read the articles doesn't mean it's not happening. And it's happening because somewhere along the way, we got cowed enough to allow it.

I'm sorry; I should have posted the link to the complete WaPo article:

First to Pillow Putz,
No Dick in my mouth.

Next to Genuine Risk,
BINGO!
You might find this to be of interest. The calls for impeachment will increase, and if you read this, you might be amazed to see which ones are going to toss Dick like a urine stained jock strap.

I've always loved pressure on Dick.
Prediction: Serious "health issue" within two months.
Dick will not rise again.

The democrats are stupid enough to try and impeach him. Right around election time, too. Might as well give the white house to the elephants for another 4 years so you can cut and paste links from your half-a-fag bookmarked sites.

Ben Affleck is about the most rational out of the bunch. He said dems are afraid to be called pussies. And he's right. They were elected to congress to change things. Here we are 6 months later and they haven't done jack sh.it. It's too late to start the impeachment process now.

Pillow,
If you read the last link I put up, you might be surprised.
It won't be the Dems (just my prediction).
As it states in that link, if it seems likely that the Dems will win the 2008 elections, take a guess at the party that won't want a VP to have the same powers as Cheney has established.
Lots more rats are going to be jumping off this sinking ship.
Watch them swim away.

How will the dems have any shot with the top 3 they currently have? Do you honestly think that someone as polarizing as Hillary has a shot? Obama? Sadly the south isn't ready for that, and the muslim deal will get beat into the ground. Edwards? Maybe, but Hillary and Obama aren't helping his chances of getting the nomination.

Watch and see what happens. We'll have another actor turned politician in the White House.

You might have faith in our fellow americans, I don't.

I don't like Hillary.
Edwards? Maybe.
This might be one to watch for, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least...
Gore/Obama.
Stay tuned.
The Repubs are going to do some fancy dancing. Guilliani? Losing support.
9/11 facts are coming out.
Romney? Mormon Church deferment requests. McCain? Lots o luck. Running on "surge"?
The actor? That's their best hope? Where is going to announce? At the Creation Museum? Will his platform include vetoes of stem cell research? Is he going to run against "illigal immigrants"? His best line so far has been an attack on Michael Moore. Oh! That's vision!
As you said, "I'll watch". And I won't be surprised when a late development happens with the Dems. It also wouldn't be a surprise to see a 3rd party candidate come along (Bloomberg/Hagel).
Should be interesting.

Yeah! How dare the Dems not fix six years' worth of Bush's incompetence and Cheney's tyranny in six months! How dare they! Why, they should be able to push anything they want through with their what, one vote majority (and it's Lieberman. Give me a break)?

There's plenty to be mad at the Dems for not accomplishing, but getting angry because they don't have a 60-vote majority and thus can't get anything past Bush's buddies in Congress is a little ridiculous, don't you think?

Six years of gutting worker safety, environmental regulations, selling public lands off to private corporations and endorsing torture, illegal detentions, the suspension of habeus corpus, Katrina, attorney firings etc- all under a Republican Congress- apparently you were fine with that. But the fact that the Dems haven't fixed all that in six months, and you're accusing them of not having done anything? What? Especially seeing as how they are barely the majority.

Though I suppose it means you're holding Dems to a higher ethical standard than you do Repubs. We're flattered.

DTS, they're not going to impeach Cheney. Because America doesn't care. As long as we convince ourselves that it's some terrorist-lovin' towelhead being imprisoned without charges, we don't care. As a poster on another forum so elegantly put it, no one wakes up saying, "You know what thisi country needs? A little more fascism." No, instead we just hit the snooze button over and over until we wake up and go, "What the hell happened?" as we and ours are being taken away without cause.

We'll see what happens in 2008. I can't believe the Bush and Cheney cabal would seize all the power they have only to risk handing it over in another two years. Oh well; time to hit snooze again.

Did they vote on this or did Dick Cheney illegally order it?
