Why does Dick Cheney hate the American people?

The audacity of Dick Cheney never ceases to amaze me. Check out what the Veep says in response to a question by ABC's Martha Raddatz about 2/3 of Americans thinking the war was not worth fighting.

Raddatz: Two-thirds of Americans say it's not worth fighting, and they're looking at the value gain versus the cost in American lives, certainly, and Iraqi lives.

Cheney: So? <sinister smirk>

Raddatz: So -- you don't care what the American people think?

Cheney: No, I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls. Think about what would have happened if Abraham Lincoln had paid attention to polls, if they had had polls during the Civil War. He never would have succeeded if he hadn't had a clear objective, a vision for where he wanted to go, and he was willing to withstand the slings and arrows of the political wars in order to get there. And this President has been very courageous, very consistent, very determined to continue down the course we were on and to achieve our objective.

The Lincoln references just kill me. If there's one thing you gotta admire about Dick Cheney, it's that he sincerely doesn't give a f*ck what you think.

Elsewhere on Planet Cheney:

planet cheney

He linked Iraq to 9/11,

...said the economy is going through "a rough patch",

...and went fishing.

...and he still sincerely doesn't give a f*ck what you think.

Over the course of its five-year fiasco in Iraq, the Bush administration in vain has tried to sell this conflict by referencing glorious American wars past. Its revisionist history has included failed parallels to the American Revolution, World War II, Korea, the Cold War and even Vietnam. Today, Vice President Cheney again compared the calamity in Iraq to the U.S. Civil War. And that gift for fiction, of course, makes George W. Bush Abraham Lincoln.

For the details, see:
"Cheney Equates Bush with Lincoln, Iraq with the U.S. Civil War."

Cheney doesn't care what the American people think because his Halliburton stock is up over 3000% since he lied America into war.

And who gives a fuck what that slimeball Prick Cheney says either. Old man... you're fake heart's gonna give out on you and it won't be soon enough for the rest of us.

Impeach Cheney and the rest of his buddies!

Bush is no Lincoln, not where it counted. Lincoln suspended civil liberties and was the first person to institute the draft, but then, what was he supposed to do?
My traitor ancestors were trying to build their own country on white supremacy (not necessarily an evil at the time) and trying to expand holding dark-skinned people in bondage! Sweet Yehoshua, is he stupid. (He referring to Cheney.)

Raddatz: So — you don’t care what the American people think?

Who is Cheney kidding? The only fluctuations in the polls are when the President's approval ratings briefly climb above 30%.

Also, what exactly is the "objective" Cheney is referring to here. As far as I recall, this administration's "objective" changes every few months...

In any Crisis, there are three stages: Crisis Prevention, Crisis Creation and Crisis Management.

Now, guess at which one Bush and Cheney are the best.

Give up??? Aw c'mon. This is easy.

Just think of how the crisis of the 9/11 attacks could have been prevented. Or this recent Bear Stearns/sub-prime mortgage crisis could have been prevented. Or the crisis involving tainted food and drugs could have been prevented. Or how a better functioning FEMA could have prevented many lives being lost during and after Hurricane Katrina hit.

On the Crisis Management end, all one has to think of is the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, with mismanagement continuing to this day. Or one can think of the aftermath of Bush and Cheney ordering the invasion of Iraq.

Yep, Bush and Cheney are the apocalyptic president and vice-president who are experts in Crisis Creation...just who we need in the White House. Yep. Yep.

Impeach them both now before they create anymore crises and get even more children killed or hurt.

Violence is not the solution, forcing Congress, the DOJ and the Courts to uphold the Constitution and the law is the solution,
history will condemn the Repugs with a heavy hand, thats their lasting immortal legacy.
Advocating violence just justifies an extreme reaction (in their sick minds) from the RW, and it gets nasty beyond belief from that point on.
Read up on what happens in your average 3rd world dictatorship when the RW goes on a rampage,
they have the LE and the Mil on their side, law abiding people only get to scream and die.

One reason you don't want to make death threats on a public site is because it makes you look like a psychopath, which turns people away from you and your politics. At best, you undermine your own position. At worst, you engender some sympathy for the target of your hate.

Left&Left asks: "Someone please tell me ONE good compassionate thing this sick f*ck has done in his eight years as VP." Answer: He shot his friend in the face. Relative to his corporate Energy Policy criminality, his felonious outing of CIA agent Plame, his manipulation of intellegence on WMD that amounts to war criminality, his advocacy of torture at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo, and his advocacy of signing statements and other acts of destruction against the U.S. Constitution, THAT errant belch of buckshot was his most compassionate moment.

deang's picture

Well, why should he care? This is someone who shot a guy in the face and was honored with a sycophantic apology from the victim. Cheney got away with everything and will continue getting away with it, just like the Reagan administration did. This reminds me of the attitudes of Reagan officials when they were at their lowest point in public popularity, toward the end of the 80s. They would just blatantly lie about their misdeeds - and the audacity of the lies was shocking at the time - and plow their way through the rough spots with a sneer on their lips. Cheney was one of them, remember, and went on to see Reagan turned into a demigod in the public's mind in the early 90s, probably through deliberate right-wing propaganda strategy. These guys write the history and they will do it again the way they did with the almost equally criminal Reagan.

I have honestly never seen anyone who so embodied the worst of humanity the way Dick Cheney does. He's greedy, arrogant, cowardly, spiteful, cruel, petty...

From his early (and frequent) Draft avoidance for a war he supported, to his support for torture, his life is defined by physical and moral cowardice, and outright inhumanity. Hell, even his leisure activities (canned hunts) are contemptible. As a hunter, I can say that's not hunting-- that's just killing, and it's the least enjoyable part of a hunt, even when the animal is more than a slow-moving domesticated target.

Truly a sad excuse for a man.

Snowball's picture

It;s the inherent contempt of the people, democracy, Constitutional order and the rule of law that is at the heart of Conservative ideology that is at the heart of Cheney's statement. The Bush regime and it's supporters are forever resentful of any constraint imposed upon their behavior by the Social Contract. Just as your common sociopathic killer, elitists like Cheney are devoid of the human trait of empathy and view themselves above and beyond the constrictions of common human decency. They believe that they are entitled to lie and deceive to gain advantage over others. Their view of their own superiority entails them to superior rights and anybody who doesn't play by their rules is an inferior sucker. It is Social Darwinism at its rankest and most base expression.

All the more evidence that Conservatism is more pathology than political ideology.

Apparently, Dick Cheney missed the Government 101 Orientation Class where employees are taught that they are PUBLIC SERVANTS..... This administration has so blatantly ignored and forgotten what this country is all about that they no longer even go through the pose of pretending to be serving in its best interests.

Cheney's position on all subjects seems to be, "Who cares what you people think? We're in charge here." Bush's is, "Let's see how many of the great unwashed we can convince that black is white and up is down." So sad for our country.

I suppose it is too much to hope that someday they will get theirs.

Cheney is an ideologue. Any information which does not fit his preconceived notions of what is right and wrong, he simply rejects.

Cheney is a criminal. All of his actions were cynically intended to enrich himself regardless of the cost to others in suffering and loss.

Cheney is an idiot. Neither he nor President Bush knew what they were leading the country into and have no idea of how to get us out.

None of these labels is sufficiently complex to deal with all of his various motivations. As far as simple labels go, however, the one I like best is:

Cheney is a politician. Regardless of how many mistakes you have made and how much damage you have done, never make any admission of fault, guilt or error and always spin news and events in your favour.

It was meant as a snarky aside filled with niche-fetish/sexual innuendo.

And now I've made it even less funny.

Yes. You have.

I would say that you, sir, are a tough crowd, but I'm afraid that I would fail to make my case.

Life is a tough crowd, sir. If You have a point-make it.

Plus the Pentagon lost 18 billion dollars. They can't find it.

If you were 18 years old and live to be one hundred and you start today , you couldn't count to 18 billion.

But you'll be paying for it!

This was an operation made in heaven for Bush/CheneyCo

Hmmm 18 billion? I think thats a huge understatement. Should look at what Rumsfeld announced the day before 9/11. 2.3 Trillion missing from the pentagon....2.3 TRILLION!!!

Just like Bear Stearns. In January, Bear Stearns executives were rewarded billions in bonuses. BILLIONS. And now the FED just bailed out the banks with $200 BILLION dollars, $30 Billion going to Bear Stearns. They did not have to return the outrageous bonuses.

These people are tearing the country apart and pissing on all of you on PURPOSE. They are PURPOSELY ass screwing all of you into the grave. And you sit there and take it like you have no will to live.

I'm really not surprised. He really made out like a bandit these past eight years. The American public is only good for winning him the votes he needs. I mean really, who are we to think he could possibly give two shits about what the people of this country actually think. What a dick.

Point: I made a rotten joke. If I had made a decent joke then I would have grounds to accuse you of a certain "toughness" as that word describes a crowd.

However, the attempt at a joke proved so weak that even the least calloused of crowds might scratch its collective head.

So, there you have it, sir. Now I am off to commit ritual suicide before I go to bed. I do hope you enjoy your evening a bit more without me. That.............is all.

The biggest flaw in his logic is that he doesn't even contemplate that his vision might be wrong.

Mr. Douchebag, all visions are not equal. Liberating slaves in your own country. Invading someone else's country for oil and contracts without a plan and without any understanding of their society. Brilliant.

And they'll be grabbing all the money they can get safely out of the country before its all over. I've been reading this week about the billions in oil money that is missing in Iraq? We're blaming the Iraqi government and their lack of oversight (at least we are today), but wouldn't it be more believable to think the money ended up with Cheney and Co?

Hate is perhaps to strong a word. Disdain yes. Hold in utter contempt, sure. Revile check.To hate something, however, you have to give a flying fuck. I don't believe he can muster enough concern to hate. Total indifference would pretty much cover it.

Cheney does not care if Iraq gets any better. His joke to everyone else is that everyone seems to think he actually believes what he publicly says. He has gotten his 3000% increase in Haliburton, he could careless about the well-being of Iraq. I imagine he'll be trading his dollars in for Euros before it's too late.

My parents and I were eating dinner when he said that and in unison we all said "SO"?!? as if we could not believe our ears. Sadly this administraion has the capability to surprise me.

I just REALLY wish they wouldn't.

PS: And a far as "fluctuations in the polls" goes - that's a steady decline Dick!

Leslie's picture

Cheney just told the US troops to f**k themselves too -- since they're part of the 60% against the war.

Chet's picture

Dick"HalliburtonFraud"Cheney is beyond any doubt the very worst VP in our history. He replaces Spiro Agnew at the top of the stinking heap. At least Agnew stopped taking bribes when he became VP while our dick still takes payments from Halliburton. It is a complete failure of our system of Government that Cheney has not been impeached. Future VP's can always look back at Cheney and understand that they could never be impeached just look at all the crimes Cheney got away with and he was never impeached. This is our failure and it is costing us dearly now and will also in the future.

Words can't begin to describe my contempt for the man. In a simpler time, he would have been convicted and hung for treason. If there is karmic payback, he's due for an interesting last chapter to his life. I used to laugh at this guy and call him evil. Now he scare's the shit out of me. He is EVIL. Hope all you 30 percenters that still stand behind this madman and his boy puppet are proud of yourselves.

Ugh!! I have a couple of questions - can Bush, Cheney and the others be prosecuted after they leave office, and can We the People sue them and recoup some of what they stole from us? I'm thinking that sometimes we must go after them where it hurts them the most. Can we the people take back our obligation to pay them retirement benefits and security since they fu(ked us so completely? Just asking.........

Again - is there a way to discover how much money all these neocon warmongers and war profiteers have made off of this illegal and immoral war for profit, and is there a way for us, the American people, to sue them in a court of law? And is there a way we can strip them from receiving any more money from the American people via their pensions and security details? We must go after them where it really hurts - they have no conscience; they care for no one but themselves. We the People must do something!

If their objective was to put money in the pockets of his corporate Cronies, then they succeeded. I sure as Hell would like to know what else their objective was beside that.

Correction. We, the vast majority of Americans have failed by not having paid attention to what's been going on, by arrogantly believing our country is the best in the world (i.e., patriotism) and blindly following our so-called leaders, and not raising Holy Hell in mass demonstrations.

I spent the first 6 years emailing people about this administrations daily misdeeds, the lies, the thievery...and what did I get? You need to chill out, man!"

Calling the downturn in popular support for this war a "fluctuation" in the polls is like calling the Hindenburg disaster a "fluctuation" in altitude and not-being-on-fire readings.

Bob Roberts @ 104:

Cheney is an ideologue. Any information which does not fit his preconceived notions of what is right and wrong, he simply rejects.

Cheney is a criminal. All of his actions were cynically intended to enrich himself regardless of the cost to others in suffering and loss.

Cheney is an idiot. Neither he nor President Bush knew what they were leading the country into and have no idea of how to get us out.

None of these labels is sufficiently complex to deal with all of his various motivations. As far as simple labels go, however, the one I like best is:

Cheney is a politician. Regardless of how many mistakes you have made and how much damage you have done, never make any admission of fault, guilt or error and always spin news and events in your favour.

I'd argue that you're pretty idiotic for believing that this war wasn't pre-planned. Bush, Cheney and the Corporate Elite are now richer than ever. Invading Iraq is just part of the imperialistic plan to create a U.S. stronghold in the Middle East. Bush's sole purpose in office was to start this needless war-- one of the most dangerous things to assume is that they had no agenda. To believe that is to believe they made an innocent mistake. There is nothing innocent or mistaken about the evil, reptillian elite. They're pure evil and have now consolidated more power than ever before. We all must remain vigilant and ready to fight when the time comes, for it most certainly will.
