Seeing the Full Cheney: America Held Hostage, Year Six

Why? Because it's do or die, that's why. How we gonna do it? We just do it that's how, and it begins right now with our getting Congress to cut off all funding for the Iraq war, no ifs, buts, maybes about it, and with all of us on the same page at the same time. And after that? It'll be up to us.

Maybe Vice King Quasimodo knows something the rest of us don't, because he's acting and speaking as if he and Charlie Mc Carthy, bush are immune to any kind of prosecution and can STILL do anything they damn well please, Democratic Congress notwithstanding. I think this may bear some kind if inquiry.

To steal a line from Martin Luther King, Jr., I have a dream where, in 2008, assuming a Democratic win for the White House and a maintained Democratic majority in both houses, that the newly sworn in President, as his/her first official act, declared Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, Rice, Gonzalez, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, and Malkin (this is not an exhaustive list, but you get the idea) to be enemies of the state and ordered their imprisonment in Guantanamo. There they would be subject to those punishments, like waterboarding, that were defined by those new inmates to be "not torture."

When Darth Vader performs, for all to see, as he did with Blitzer on CNN he simply exhibits to the world how far gone he really is. Cheney's reign is over, and he has shown himself to be a total failure. He is history, as is Bush and, hopefully, the republican party. Cheney will be dead soon from heart failure anyway, and the world will be better off. The goal now is to wipe out the right-wing once and for all, and to ensure that they don't get up again, as they did after the sixties.

I am recalling the second election. I was standing on a busy street corner in Fl. w/ my Kerry sign, mind you I am a 50 year old 5'1 woman by myslef. When across the street comes running a 6' man carrying a Bush sign crowding me out screaming obscenities (Bush for president). I said I was standing here, you have your space across the street. He replied, "anything it takes" Well that is the motto for this administration "anything it takes" to fulfill their insane dream of whatever it is. How could we be so stupid as to let our sons and daughters go into the military in a time like this where the leaders are liers, murderers, and will put anyone and anything in harms way for their objective. To rule the world? To rule the oil?

His 66th...almost satanic, huh?

Thuggish. Defiant. Arrogant. Bullying. They all apply to Cheney. And Bush. But, let's never forget that they are only that way with words. They actually have no personal courage. They are sniveling cowards who would do, and have done, anything, ANYTHING, to keep themselves rich, powerful, and therefore safe.

We are all expendable to that end.

I watched Cheney bully Wolf Blitzer into cowering submission and I was surprised, although I shouldn't have been, when the right-wingers crowed with delight at how Five-Deferment-Dick smacked Blitzer down. As if he had actually done something courageous. Cheney was belligerent towards someone who couldn't, or wouldn't, fight back. How is that a sign of courage?

Same with Bush's famed testiness. How many times has Bush turned absolutely bitchy when confronted by a reporter trying to actually do their job? But when confronted with real challenges, like 9/11 or dealing with Katrina, Bush does what he did in the Texas Air National Guard; he goes MIA, and let's daddy's paid flacks cover for him.

They are cowards, hiding behnd their money and power. This makes them far more dangerous than people with the actual courage for a fight. Since their principal motivating force is fear, they will never allow their actions to be constrained by morals, ethics, religion or the law. Only fear; fear of losing power, fear of losing face, fear of losing wealth, drives them. They have rationalized to themselves that they are entitled to everything they do in the name of their fear and they consider themselves a law unto themselves.

They've been selling America this fear for 6 years now and the rest of America is finally starting to see what we've known all along; that they have nothing for us but fear.

But they have used these 6 years to firmly entrench themselves. I've said it here before and I'll say it again, they will not give up their power willingly, it will have to be pried from their cold, dead fingers.

Until we fully incorporate this information, we will continue to underestimate what they are willing to do.

And NOW is the time for Congress to do some "push back" of their own. Impeaching Bush only puts Cheney in the driver's seat, and that's probably what he wants, anyway; to run the government in the open, instead of covertly for the past six years.

You impeach Cheney, this house of Cards known as the Bush Administration comes tumbling down. Bush will leave on his own accord, because Condi can't prop him up as well as Cheney does.

Impeach Cheney - Congress has more than enough evidence of constitutional violations.

Yes, the 2000 election was the start, if indeed you can steal an election one would feel emboldened to do whatever one wishes after such a crime.

But I would like to add one other horrendous crime that would embolden them even more - 9/11. One only has to take a cursory look at the mountain of evidence available and you'd have to come to the conclusion that what we've been lead to believe about 9/11 is a lie.

It would fit that if this administration could get away with the cold-blooded murder of over 3,000 people in broad day-light that they would not have any qualms about destroying the reputation of a critic even if it meant the destruction of an entire network of people that where working to protect us.

And as far as the revolution - sign me up!

A time to put IMPEACHMENT back on the table, instead.
