**RAMBLE ALERT**

I am just sick of the way the media has been handling this whole Dick Cheney vs. Barack Obama farce this week. Let's take a sec and think about this:

• Where in the world was Dick the majority of the time he was actually IN office?
• If the argument is that the Bush administration was doing so much to protect us, then why did we get attacked in the first place?
• Why is it that since Obama was elected we are suddenly and completely unsafe although nothing has been changed as far as procedures of national security are concerned. We are still running things like the Bush Administration did. There hasn't even been time to change anything, so we can't be in more danger.
• The Cheney camp is trumpeting that "the people" should be involved in making the decision regarding our national security. Really? REALLY?! Seems to me that when the GOP was in power, we "the people" were TOLD what to do, what to think, and what to say. Oh and by the way you'll like it too! If you don't you'll be branded a terrorist or unpatriotic.
• Where were you, Dick Cheney, on September 11th? just wonderin'.
• Don't you dare bring up the point that "thousands were killed in the name of terror" when you used that horrible day to orchestrate the killing of tens of thousands in our name. Those people say the same things about us, and rightly so.
• Since when does simulating drowning get filed under "tough questioning"?
• I am insulted that the networks are demeaning Barack by sporting a split screen of him and Cheney all week. This is not a debate people. Obama is our president, not Dick Cheney.
• What does it say about the state of our media when the networks so effortlessly fall into the snare of promoting this ridiculous agenda of Cheney's? How pathetic and sad that no one is willing to grow a pair and say no. Bunch of fucking lemmings.

Aren't we taking our eye off the ball here? I mean it's the GOP's best tactic, trying to get us to focus on something other that the actual facts or the actual person who should be blamed, but come on.

Don't you think it's interesting that Dick Cheney lumbered onto the scene last week, made the rounds on the news shows, stirred up the lemmings, and at the end of the week everyone was looking at Nancy Pelosi?

How many times are we going to fall for this old stale act?

Democrats: Let's stay focused on this one. Eye on the ball, please. It's easy. It's the one that has the words "REPUBLICANS SUPPORTED TORTURE" scrawled on the side. Remember?

Barack, I am your father! Eeew! That's not even funny.

I think it's odd and quite calculated that Dick Cheney has reared his ugly head all this week in attempts to guide/dictate and influence our national conversation on torture. Okay so maybe it's not so odd that he is going about this in this manner. He is the definition of calculated, and cold, and evil, and the devil, and Darth Vader.

Never in the eight sad, lonely, dark years of the Bush Administration did we hear so much from Cheney. Now, when the stakes are the highest for him personally, we can't shut him up! He's everywhere weighing in on and attempting to rewrite the history and most importantly our opinion on torture. Great HuffPo article here.

Here's hoping Barack is strong enough to stay on course and not be swayed by the obvious and transparent attempts of a failed leader to protect his legacy.

Excuse for one minute, does anyone actually think/believe that the Bush administration had absolutely nothing to do with the economic meltdown in which we are currently having a blast?Anyone heard of the current $644 billion we are in the hole for the debacle know as the Iraq war? You think that may have had something to do with our current problems?! Hmm?

I fully agree that the economic problems happening are worldwide and shared by many communities, but we helped create the collapse of the house of cards by spending money on a war of choice. It stresses our communities and budgets and guess what? Shit rolls downhill.

Want to know just how much this imbroglio is costing YOUR community? Take a look. This great site boils it right down.

Fucker, Cheney.

Welcome to the

As I posted earlier this week, I have been posting in my brain if not in real life and today I am finding the time to actually sit down and say a few things. My blogger brain has been sizzling all week long with a few topics that just can't be ignored any longer.

I'll start with the story that just started hitting the airwaves and blogosphere in this morning. Big ups to GMA for actually covering the story, but I'd like to see a little outrage and disgust since this isn't the first time this has happened! Make sure you check out all the evidence. The GMA clip speaks volumes.

Apparently, the only fire Cheney is interested in are the ones that result from bombs over Baghdad. The audacity of this administration to continue to insult those affected by natural disasters is astonishing. Absolutely pathetic.

If He Only HAD a Heart...

July must be Health Month at the White House. Last weekend Bush had his pooper checked, and this weekend Cheney gets his faux heart battery checked out. Is this some right-wing conspiracy attempt to make us believe Dick actually HAS a heart? Hmmm...

OMG Becky...

If you start feeling a bit warmer tomorrow for no apparent reason, just remember that Satan himself will be in charge for a couple of hours while W gets his innards checked.

Just look at him...lookin' all smirky and stuff...can't wait to push some buttons or torture some people, or steal some money...hey...wait a minute...!!!!

All Aboard!

I am soooo for this policy! Sends a VERY clear message about corrupt politics!
