 “A smile is just a frown turned upside down and skewed a bit.” |
A new national poll suggests that favorable opinions of the former vice president are on the rise….
But the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, released Thursday morning, indicates that a majority of Americans still have an unfavorable opinion of Cheney.
Fifty-five percent of people questioned in the poll say they have an unfavorable opinion of the former vice president. Thirty-seven percent say they have a favorable opinion of Cheney, up 8 percentage points from January when he left office….
“Former President George W. Bush’s favorable rating rose 6 points in that same time period”….
I only post this because the reporters won’t be able to figure out why the figures are up: People are starting to miss the cartoons:
Thanks, K B
#76 Its not hard for him to sway us…we already agree.
Obama wasn’t Bush, and he ran as a tax cutting deficit hawk…fooling the people.
No one voted for what he is doing now, save MoveOn.org, Mr. Fusion, and few moobats.
His lie are starting to impact that honeymoon feeling…people don’t like what has been happening.
I think it is fascinating that any of you exist in reality. You all must live in fuzzy lined vacuums.
NEITHER side is right for The Republic.
But you keep holding onto tradition for tradition’s sake while the whole nation continues to spiral downwards like the UK.
Ex-colonial powers now slowly winding down into obscurity.

# 12 qb said, in part:
“…why are Republicans planting their flag in the ground on crap like water boarding, tea partying, and renaming the Democrats socialists? They sound like losers, and when you sound like a loser, you are a loser.”
The real powers and deep thinkers are in a serious retrenching mode just now — they’ve lost big time and they need to think clearly and deeply about why that happened and what they can do about it. Thinking clearly and deeply is difficult and requires quiet and reflection amounting to meditation and can’t be carried on by most people while simultaneously engaging in loud contumely.
This leaves the stage to the empty barrels, Cheney, Jindal, Palin, Steele and the really big, loud empty barrels Limbaugh, Fox and the whole Right Media apparatus to distract the crowd and keep the base energized. Eventually they’ll figure something out and they’ll be back, of that you can be sure.
Personally, I wish Cheney a long and energetic (and loud) career as an ex-Vice President.
Go, Dick, go!
It’s nice to see the nazis here backing their man.
#8 Agreed. We must give Cheney credit as great student of Adolf Hitler.

“How fortunate for leaders that men do not think.”
“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.”
“It is always more difficult to fight against faith than against knowledge.”
“I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator”

#79, RBG,
Yeah, like the families of the dead loved ones really were looking for a Utopian society’s moral high ground instead of waterboarded answers as to where arms caches are located and used to kill their husbands, fathers, brothers and sisters.
Yup. Keep spouting the nonsense.
Let’s see your logic here, … . America invades a country and soundly defeats their military. Then they start rounding up anyone who opposes America’s view of what the country should like. Then they round up all the bureaucrats that were employed by the former regime. Then they start wholesale torture of those prisoners. What information they hold we don’t know, but they might know the codes to the atomic bomb they might have planted near some American troops moving through the area.
We destroyed their already crumbling infrastructure. Now our tanks destroy the roads. We cut the electricity to a few hours a day. Unemployment soars to over 75% and there is no government to implement relief. Schools close. Hospitals are way over capacity and out of drugs and use makeshift bandages. Cars, houses, and businesses are routinely destroyed by the “liberators”.
Tens of thousands die. The numbers reach past the hundred thousand mark. No one knows how high it goes but the majority of civilian dead come long after the “victory”. All because of the vanity of some President wanting to win a war. And the lies told to get us into that war.
And all you think about is some bullet coursing through some soldier’s gut? War is hell, but it is war, fought with soldiers who know ahead of time that might happen on the battlefield. No soldier is expected to be tortured as some duty. That is why the Geneva Conventions were signed. Yet you consider torturing the enemy with no regard to the civility society requires to prevent all out Armageddon.
You are truly an effen, blind, mentally challenged asshole. It must feel good to realize that Alphie isn’t alone.
Gulf War II should never happened, but it had to, because Gulf War I cut off incomplete.
The liberals are already starting to miss Chaney and Bush.
Don’t worry you guys will be back in full form attacking Obama and his second in no time. The attacks have already started.
86 Mr. Fusion:
“Then they start rounding up anyone who opposes America’s view of what the country should like.”
We know from the Iraqi elections “anyone who opposes America’s view…” did not get rounded up. You’re just making stuff up. Again.
“Then they start wholesale torture of those prisoners.”
Your wishful thinking again. Start providing data, or you’ll be called on it each and every time. I think you meant to say, some of these people who have info you know nothing about were waterboarded. The rest is in your dreams.
Similar destruction happened when the Allies liberated Holland and Italy. Start thinking, Mr. Fusion. I assume the war some “President” wanted to win was Hussein against the Iranians? Or was it against his own people the Kurds? Oops, a little memory lapse, huh?
Read the Geneva Conventions and tell me if both sides have a mutual agreement on the subject of war. They don’t.
So by arbitrarily dismissing your list of pain & suffering brought on by war, including being shot, you are saying torture is torture but only if everyone agrees on paper it’s torture.
14 seconds of waterboarding is not Armageddon which again only highlights your requirement for wild exaggeration and unclear thinking instead of any semblance of truth.
