Why the fuck isn't Dick Cheney in prison?

[Mike 03]

Did I just hear on the radio a clip of him disavowing his own administration's complicity in our current economic problems? Was he throwing it in Clinton's lap?

Sorry, this is a vent, not a post.

Cheney is a criminal IMO. It insults everything I believe in to hear him interviewed or taken seriously in the media.

I see him as another brick in the wall the shameful GOP is trying to build to subvert President Obama's efforts to prevent our economy from entire collapse.

Call me a conspiracist. What do you call it when everyone who is guilty of crime X accuses everyone who is not guilty of crime X of committing crime X?

[NJmaverick]

1. I was against pressing criminal charges, but if this lying evil man insists on

these public appearances and disgusting displays, I think jail may be needed.

[Winterblues]

34. What possible reason could someone have for not wanting prosecutions of people

that have openly boasted about committing "war crimes" and have activily worked to put America into Great Peril? I don't understand. :shrug: If these things are something we as a nation abhor then why in the world would we ignore them and allow the culprits to raom free?

[NJmaverick]

35. Right now there are serious issues that have to be addressed

they are more important than going after the dirtbags from the Bush admin. We all know that going after them would turn Washington into a 3 ring circus and none of the other important issues would be addressed. However if former vice president asshat keeps up with his lies and slander, I say take him down.

[Ken Burch]

2. 'cause he'd scare the serial killers?

:eyes:

[Motown_Johnny]

3. I saw part of the interview, he said Scooter is innocent. I almost puked

what a piece of shit that guy is

[tularetom]

4. What do you call it?

What do you call it when everyone who is guilty of crime X accuses everyone who is not guilty of crime X of committing crime X?

The American way. We've all seen examples of this in our own lives. Family, personal, business lives. People project their own faults and shortcomings onto others.

Cheney is merely an extreme example but he is by no means unique.

I don't mind that Cheney is trying to do this.

I mind like hell that the news media are enabling him. And failing to call him on his lies.

[condoleeza]

17. I disagree-he is unique - in my lifetime no other man has done more to destroy this country

[katandmoon]

5. Well, when Obama won't commit to investigating much less prosecuting him....

[BuyingThyme]

6. Because he's still in charge.

[Enthusiast]

27. Some might take issue

with that, BuyingThyme. I won't. It is the special operations and media manipulation, shadow government part of the government they are on charge of. They never fully relinquished control after Clinton was elected. Why should they?

[Double T]

7. All of the bush criminal administration will be allowed to get away with.........

everything corrupt and criminal as the members of the DNC (Do Nothing Congress) will remain true to form and do nothing to indict these guys and gals of the bush reich.

[david13]

8. He has friends in high places. And low places, too. n/t

[Nikki Stone1]

9. K & R for the rant.

:kick:

[MadMaddie]

10. Is the US doomed to repeat the mistakes after the Nixon debacle?

By not prosecuting these criminals the US is on the path again to utter destruction by the Republicans and their Neo-Conservative movement.

I don't care if it makes people angry that the DOJ would be investigating treasonous crimes against the nation. If the DOJ would have done their job in the early 70's we wouldn't be so screwed now.

[rhett o rick]

37. yes

[Ardent15]

11. Ever since Nixon, our country has grown so cynical that not enough people care

Therefore, the criminal Bush Administration will probably be allowed to get away with what they did.

[Ichingcarpenter]

12. I thought you said you would vote McCain and the Keating 7?

but decided on Obama? At least we can agree on Cheney.

[lpbk2713]

13. You're right. Cheneyburton IS a criminal.

He makes Madoff look like a rank amateur.

[unblock]

14. psychologically, call it projection. politically, call it goebbels-esque propaganda

[barbtries]

15. republican politics n/t

[condoleeza]

16. I recommended this before I even read what you had to say

We all need to vent. I couldn't agree with you more. His crimes go back to Reagan's administration. Why this bastard is even allowed to speak is beyond me. What kind of world does this man intend to leave as his legacy? He has spent his entire life raping the world in every possible way.

[Tommy_J]

18. Right on

Lets cling to hope he'll be punished eventually.

[condoleeza]

22. Yeah, I'm clinging on that hope

From what I see so far I think it is "on the table" as far as Obama is concerned. The very fact that this man can get up in the morning and look himself in the face and function in any way is just beyond me. I have tried to imagine what kind of monster could do what he has done, what kind of human could do what he has done. I am just dumbfounded. This man is without any conscience. He is truly the worst human (if he is human) that this country has ever produced. The man has no soul. Perhaps he really DID die.

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

19. His connections to the Great Old Ones is too strong.

If we try to corner him, he'll just summon Summanus to kill us all.

[Hubert Flottz]

20. Why the fuck isn't Dick Cheney in prison?

Because we were lied to...Some people in this country really are "Above The Law" Bush, Cheney and Rove for example...

Bill Clinton wasn't "above the law", but the top republicans ARE!

[dweller]

21. why the fuck

this scabeous slime is even given airtime is beyond my comprehension.

i just heard an NPR news clip at the break of a beautiful music program i listen to, with him bloviating his stench of how Obama has made America more threatened by closing Gitmo.

could someone just drive the stake in that corpse, finally?

ruined my music, my evening, my mood,
dp

[spanone]

23. cause they allow him on teevee to sling shit at our President....fuck him

[shellgame26]

24. That's exactly what I was thinking

when I saw that vile sonofabitch on CNN. What gets me is how these 'journalists' have these criminals on their program and treat them as though they're normal upstanding citizens. makes me wanna :puke:

[leftofthedial]

25. ask Obama and his Attorney General.

ask the "democrats" in Congress.

[cascadiance]

26. K&R!!!!! NEEDS to happen!

[Thothmes]

28. Because in this country, a person has to be convicted

of a crime in a duly constituted court before they can be sent to prison.

[tomp]

29. wow, that was brilliant. i suppose next you're gonna tell us....

....he has to be tried before he can be convicted before he can be sent to jail, but before that he has to be arraigned and before that arrested, and before that...wait a minute...you some kind of legal scholar or sumthin' ?

[Thothmes]

30. It answered the question.

[tomp]

33. in a manner of speaking. nt

[polichick]

31. Nobody has pressed charges yet - it's coming.

[Hepburn]

32. Ummmmmmm....they have a better class of people there and...

...they don't want him contaminating the inmates?

:shrug:

[nichomachus]

36. Do you want to tangle with him?

Nobody does.....

[otohara]

38. Why Isn't He Dead - Umpteen Heart Attacks

oh wait, I remember....he has superb health care, best-est of heart physicians in the country.
