That and improving medical technology. I don't know how much money he has spent out of his own pocket, but if your insurance is good enough, you can get amazing treatment without spending much of your own money.

I say this because I've seen it in my own family. One of my immediate family members is roughly the same age as Cheney and has had serious heart problems for a long time now (though not as long as Cheney has). He's been in and out of the hospital many times and if you added up all of the surgeries, medication, and other types of care, the price tag would be in the hundreds of thousands at the very least. If he had been born 50 years earlier or didn't have insurance, he would not have lived to the age he is now.

So I think the insurance plays a very big role here.

all his surgeries/ treatments. I don't think that policy would pay for his medical staff that travels with him 24/7. But knowing Cheney and crew, he has probably found a way to get that covered as well. His vast fortune and connections, certainly enables him to receive care that few of us could afford.

He just happens to be our sheriff here in Maricopa county. I guess I have a hard time understanding how someone can hate a person so much they would want to urinate on their grave. I find it bizarre that someone would arbitrarily select another person and make an outlandish post about them. To each his own I guess, I just don't get it that's all.

I am saying I choose not to apply the word "hate" to others and I certainly would not desecrate the grave of a dead person., that's just me. You can do whatever suits you...

I was at a Dead show at an outdoor theater in Phoenix. My first visit to Arizona and under the mistaken idea the south west = laid back liberal (yeah I know right?).... anyway, during the show, groups of sheriffs roaming the crowd yanking people smoking joints off the ground, cuffing them and hauling them away. That night we here on the radio "be careful with even small amounts of pot the new sheriff is a nazi"... I was like now you tell us. I wasn't a pot smoker so I wasn't in any immediate danger. Never saw anything like it at all the Dead shows I attended.

I just have always felt that hate is a very strong word and best not applied to others regardless of how evil they seem to be. As far as the 6 year old girl what were they suppose to do? let her loose in the desert. There is no way she will be harmed, they just have to find out who she is and whether or not her parents can be located. I am sure there won't be any charges filed against her.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Jun 18, 2012, 11:43 AM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Oh for Pete's sake, this is a threat to DANCE, not to harm anybody. Nice try.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: how on earth is this a threat? trumad isn't saying he will kill arpaio, nor is he advocating violence against him.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Threats? What threats?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Good grief, Trumad isn't threatening any sort of bodily harm at all. OTOH, he may hurt some eyeballs when he does the Salsa.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: get real

Because with Arpaio it could be like the last scene of Carrie. There you are dancing your Salsa when a hand comes up out of the dirt and grabs your ankle. Somebody forgot to put a stake through his heart! Quick, throw some Coors at him!

Are you on disability or retired? Because you start threads left and right every day. When it affects YOU, then you'll get it. It's a disgrace that the American worker is being kicked to the curb for the agenda of the Illuminati. And not just illegal immigration--LEGAL, too! Those work visas being issued out during a time of economic depression should let any thinking person know that this is being done by design. "They" want us absolutely desperate. I have never heard of British and Australians coming to my area except for tourism. No, they live and work here. Asians, too! And then they give us this crap about a "shortage" of engineers and other highly-skilled positions. There are Americans who would do these jobs but it's cheaper to get foreigners on contract.
