Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)Did Biden just say that Dick Cheney is a decent man, and he likes him? [View all]
Heard a clip on Morning Joe of Biden saying that he like Dick Cheney, gets along with him, and he's a decent man.
I hope I heard wrong.
Cheney, who used 9/11 to invade Iraq, which he'd planned to do, regardless of 9/11? Cheney, who outed an undercover intel operative (Valerie Plame), ending her undercover career and putting her life in danger? Because of a personal vendetta against her husband.
Cheney, who met with energy company executives, for them to devise the energy policy and programs of the country?
Cheney, who gave non-bid multi-million contracts to his company Halliburton, in Iraq, with no oversight of them? A giveaway of massive amounts of money to his cronies. That Dick Cheney is a decent man?
Cheney, who never faced a bullet in war, pushing for torture and not recognizing the international crimes commission, so we wouldn't have to answer for the torture?
A democracy only works if the different factions work together and compromise. But getting along with the other party and being able to work with them, is different from thinking a man like Dick Cheney is "decent." That sort of rubberstamps Cheney's positions, which are abhorrent to a democracy, IMO.
UPDATE: I found the clip. It's from 2015.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
