What a Dick

You know who I'm talking about! Cheney of course! He really is a Dick, he just proved it. From the NY Times (and I'm sure every single other paper out there)

``It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States,'' Cheney told supporters at a town-hall meeting.


That is what they've been trying to say to the American public for months now. I'm amazed that he was just so, honest. That is really how he feels. Of course, it's not based on anything. Attacking Iraq did not make the world safer. It pissed off a whole bunch of people, and has bred a whole new generation of terrorists. They don't "hate us because of our freedom", they hate us because our stupid leaders march into their country, bomb the hell out of it, then don't cut them in for the reconstruction contracts. They are also pissed off because they all know that we went there because of the oil, and they know that the US is totally dependent on Middle East Oil, and wants to play favorites with certain countries (Saudi Arabia) and wants to steal from other countries (Iraq). The United States has 150,000 troops there. Still. Didn't we transfer power a couple of months ago? The death toll is over 1000.

Considering John Kerry's plan for Iraq and the war on terror is not all that different from Bush's, how can Cheney say that there will be a terrorist attack if "the wrong choice" for president is elected? Is he going to make sure that happens? SCARY. Yes, I'm going there. That Dick has connections.

This whole election is crazy. No one is saying the truth, not the media, not the candidates... NO ONE. How many people are really going to sit there and research every little thing that everyone says just to make sure it's true or half-true? Half the people in this country don't even vote, nevermind actually getting involved. It's overwhelming. I've tried to research, but it gets frustrating. So people rely on the nightly news.

Please, for god's sake, don't watch FOX NEWS. All that channel is is a bunch of republicans sitting around patting each other on the back and drinking their kool-aid. The bad thing is, they say that they're "Fair and balanced." I listen to Air America Radio which is a liberal talk station, but they certainly don't claim to be "Fair and Balanced." They are liberals. They think that they're point of view is right and they are not afraid to stand up for it. FOX NEWS likes to say they are "Fair and Balanced" so that they can try to say that their extremely right-wing views are views that the mainstream of America has and should have, then they try to present it as mainstream.

I've been trying to get the comments function on this damn blog to work, so that if anyone is out there actually reading this, you can tell me I'm a dumb bitch, or totally agree with me outloud.
