Challenging Cheney

I think there is a most impolite word that could be applied to Cheney's assertion. Otherwise, we can just assume it is more of his same effort to turn the presidency into a dictatorship. He is like a kid standing in defiance of authority saying, "Catch me if you can, nyah, nyah." Smirking as he sees no one can stop him. Sadly, he has won. We see the results of his thinking and manipulation in all aspects of our nation. Aren't we all pleased with all he has done for us.

This evil man has set the most dangerous precedents concerning executive level power in the history of thsi country. Unless the checks and balances are reset between the executive, legislative and judicial branches, we run the risk of a future president seizing even more power than this administration has done. A frightening prospect, indeed. This man and his administration, including the president, Aare NOT above the law and they should be tried in a court of law for their crimes.

Cheney has effectively shown what can happen when an elected official ignores what is good for the country and instead pursues his own questionable agenda. The balance of power MUST be restored and accountability must be had or the precedent here will present a clear danger in the future. This man should be tried like any other citizen for his crimes to send a message to fuure leaders that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated!

He's more machine now than man; twisted and evil.

Cheney is truly an evil man and should be impeached then brought up on charges of treason for what he has continually tried, and probably succeeded to some degree, to destroy our Constitution and our Country.

How are Democrats supposed to argue for transparency when their leading candidate, Hillary Clinton, still won't release her records as First Lady or those associated with her and Bill's mega-"charity"? That's right, Hillary says her "experience" that places her above Obama is her time in the White House, yet she won't release her records until after the Primary. And her and Bill's charity has raised over $500 MILLION dollars from the same people who are their major donors and lend them their jets to hop around in. The "charity" also employed their leading campaign staff. This is a lot of money sloshing around and they won't let us see the details.

How can we demand that Cheney release his records when Hillary and Bill won't release theirs. We need a change already. We need Obama. We need someone honest. Obama has the guts to take the right position even when it's unpopular, like in opposing the Iraq war from the start. He is for transparency. He has not used government to amass a personal wealth of tens of millions of dollars (over $30 mil for Hillary, over $40 mil for Bill, over $50 mil for Cheney, over $50 mil for Edwards) etc. - Obama's net worth is just over $1 million. Obama is one of us. It's time to take back our goverment. We can't afford to take the chance of letting the Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton cycle continue.

Always been amazed that Cheney, who could go out around the World and actually DO some things simply stays in dc and runs clusterfrick maneauvers which do nothing but act as a flanking draws supposedly to guise the things that are really happening.
GW, Cheney and a few of their annointed Club....truly a 3 Stooges network.
Maybe that's why we keep tuning in.

Short and sweet impeach Cheney

This admisistration simply kicks and screams when it comes to playing by our historical laws and regulations. No wonder Judiciary Committee members have got a website collecting signatures: wexlerwantshearings -com
that has collected over 100,000 signatures, and seeks 200,000 to make public sentiment clear about the VP.

From this article, and the overall reaction by the OVP, like most readers, I've got to begin to wonder if the VP isn't doing something shady similar to Watergate period in political history. On a scale of 1-10, this pushes my trust level of the VP and the White House in general to a 1. Otherwise, why wouldn't this internal policy change as to how to treat the OVP started in 2000? Why did it change only when the Plame affair begain?

Hey, when you're screwing the public you have to do what you can to cover your tracks. This is what the BUSH administration is all about: These Neo-Cons used 9/11 as a God-send to push their agenda down our throats while we all waved the flag and they stirred blind nationalism and promoted hatred, discrimination and a pro-business/wealth agenda. Cheney and Bush are working for their Masters and they will do whatever they can get away with to accomplish their goal of allocating wealth and power to a few in this country. Anybody with a brain can see that Cheney and Bush represent wealth and power and not the working class in this country. 2008 will be the year of reckoning for the Neo-Con backed GOP, the class struggle is about to swing in the other direction and Cheney can go pick daisies in Wyoming.

Hillary Clinton voting for the war, and a blank check for the war is against everything she stands for, unfortunately there are forces that control individuals in Washinton that is beyond our realm. Inotherwords if a politician is in trouble they will go against their own principles just to save themselves. This is why I say Hillary should be appointed to a health and childrens welfare committee under an Obama presidency. That way she will not be susceptible to scandal. The Clintons have shown time and time again that they are too political. Their decisions are based on what's best for them first and the people second. Hillary Clinton laughs at the fact that there are individuals who can tell her what kind of president to be. If going negative assists her she will do it, if going family helps her she will do it. These individuals in Washington have been programed to adhere to the will of special interst lobbyists. Why do you think we fund Israeli security forces. The politician is guided by their own narrow interests. This the conclusion I have come too over the holidays. The democrats that have been in the Senate and in the Congress for the last 6 years and have done nothing on a national scale. Edwards has done nothing as a Senator, his voting record indicates he has gone along with whatever the mainstream has wanted him to do, Clinton has done what ever the mainstream has wanted her to do, and pelosi has been playing games and is getting schooled everyday. I have no choice but to vote for OBAMA, what other hope is exist. We need someone who is not programmed and that can bring unity. Obama has not flip floped, he has run a steady and unified campaign even when he was down in the polls, his campaign has stayed focused and positive. Clinton went from negative, to bashing, to family . What is going it is like a script has been written everyday and Hillary is just the actor reading the lines. Like I said there are those that think they are far more experienced and knowledgable than us, but when you look at their individual record it is as if they never had experience. We are stupid and this is why our candidates act stupid. Remember our candidates are a reflection of our society, do what you half to do to get ahead even if it means going against your principles. Experience.

You do not control the Government the Government controls you, and this has to change. We are not talking race we are talking constitution. The Government is cleverly taking over our civil liberties, slowly, intelligently. Keeping us dumb. Romney is playing the same card Bush did. There stupid so do not play smart.

its almost funny that Clinton had a 40million dollar special investigator on his butt for a bad real estate deal and was almost impeached for lying about a sexual encounter. When this administration has lied about weapons of mass destruction, outted CIA agents, fired state attorneys who wouldn't help them rig elections, tortured POW's, given executive priveledge to people who were not executives and I could go on and on but you guys get the point . Where is the 40million dollars worth of our tax money now for the special investigator. Why do Bush , Cheney, Rumsfeld, scooter, Alberto and the rest of these guys get to put up middle fingers to the Constitution, UN, Geneva Convention , the Grand Jury and the other two thirds of the government this thing with the Archives is just another of a long line of questions the world wants to see answered. Maybe thats what democrats are worried about?

How does accusing someome else of doing something similar address the subject? Anyone who is following the actions of the Bush Administration (and this idea started long before Bush) to change the Constitution and don the mantle of all three functions of the government is certainly not surprised. It is time that t he electorate-who, although they don't seem to know it, or care-have the power. It's the government of the people , for the people ahd by the people. The government works for US. I agree with Takeitback, It isn't going to change until we, the People, rise up and challenge their attempt to t ake over OUR government - nothing is going to change. No newly elected president is going to willingly give up all the little goodies that t he last regime has left them.
