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:
…said the economy is going through “a rough patch”,
…and he still sincerely doesn’t give a f*ck what you think.
No Trackbacks To “Why does Dick Cheney hate the American people?“
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?
Shorter, simpler cutting-through-it-all Cheney: Let them eat shit.
This evil, fat, wicked, ugly old bigot hates everything….his homely wife, lesbian daughter,Bush, all Americans, all foreigners(especially colored foreigners) and most of all….himself. I know I would if I were him. Someone please tell me ONE good compassionate thing this sick fuck has done in his eight years as VP.
fuck him…
Actually, Cheney went on a phishing trip.
Bin Laden tape comes out just as the 4000th American service member death approaches. I tell ya Bin Laden must be Bush’s best friend because he releases a tape everytime a big story is about to come out about Bush’s failures to knock it off the front page.
They’ve gone beyond daring congress to impeach them. Now they’re begging them to.
What the f**k’s it gonna take?
Thuggery Is how Thuggery thinks. So? I will rule The World! And You can’t stop Me! hahahahahahahahahah (sucking chest) hahahahahahahaha
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…
AngryOne @ 1:
the American Revolution was my personal favorite, it was a ROTFLMAO moment,
the sad state of critical thinking and dumbness in using that to compare to Iraq was mind boggling.
truly the low point of Chimpy and his morons.
God please let me live long enough to piss on this mans grave!

“Go f*ck yourself Mister Cheney. Go f*ck yourself.”
He doesn’t care what others think because he has been given a free pass and knows he will be handing this mess over to someone else soon.
Bob Roberts @ 12:
No….’The Objective’ is right on the mark. The explaination changes daily.
Someone needs to take cheney hunting again in Texas..and let him go out into the
field and shake the bushes.
Okay, I’ll say it. Go fuck yourself, Mr. Vice President.
to destroy the American system !!!!
Cheney rules over a nation of cowards, otherwise he’d be brought to justice and swinging in the gallows.
He is one evil son of a bitch!
[Deleted. Way over the top. We don’t allow commenting like that here-Sitemonitor]
FLUCTUATIONS!!?? He really knows how to spin… he makes it sound like we fickle foolish people just can’t make up our minds! As much as I hate, hate, hate him he really is a master at spinning and then staring down poeple who would question him. I WILL BE SOOOOO HAPPY TO SEE HIS BACKSIDE!!!
My hate for Cheney knows no bounds. Speaking of which has anybody else noticed that since the GOP died more and more of their trolls keep wandering over here?
emperor palpatine cringes at cheney’s evil. what a vile creature cheney is. he can’t kick soon enough for me. when that day happens it’ll be one fine day.
Harry Scrote @ 26:
We have noticed. and despatched them to the pond scum they are.
I want him to live………out his future prison term.
One can dream.
REM comes to mind, “It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine…” Lord, I feel hopeless knowing Chimpy and Darth Chaney are in charge. Can it get any worse?
Good post SilentPatriot, and spot on…..
“I think you cannot be blown off course by…” F*CKING REALITY!

After he dies, I definitely will piss on his grave.
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.
Harry Scrote @ 26:
they are looking for their ‘lost’ NRCC monies, pity them for they are broke. MUHAHAHAHHA
Bush’s war has always been Cheney’s war.
I HATE both of them.

In the grand scheme of things, we Americans deserve him. How so many have turned a blind eye to such thuggery, incompetence, and just plain f— evilness is beyond me.
I appreciate his use of the word “fluctuation” in public opinion, as if there has only lately been some inconsequential transient bump in opinion polls that he can reasonably ignore. What a smooth asshole he is.
rtghehe @ 33
Nixon’s murder squads thats why.
wouldnt it be GREAT if all the bushes and chenys when they died were placed in the bottom of porta pottys so we could dump on them the way they dumped on us???/
His first reaction- ‘So?’ Tells everything. The rest is just pondscum.
Given the average Moron-Americans appalling ignorance of their own history, Dick Vader’s Lincoln reference would make perfect sense to your average nose-picking, farting, FOX viewer
The fact he was fishing off some Prince’s boat while our brave soldiers spill their blood for his and Bush’s war is sickening. I believe in karma. I want this nightmare to end!
“Dick Cheney, it’s that he sincerely doesn’t give a f*ck what you think.”
Gosh, this is news???
He never has cared what the riff raff thinks of him or his policies. But more importantly, he knows it doesn’t matter. He knows he can do or say anything he wants and no one anywhere will be able to do a thing about it.
[Deleted. Way over the top. We don’t allow commenting like that here-Sitemonitor]
Is there Secret Service protection after a VP’s term is up?? HHMMMMMM
There are some people that when they smile you can tell it is fake.
This guy smiles and it creeps the SH*T out of me!
Cheney and Bush are real pieces of shit, what about all the people that hide behind god and religion that vote and stand up for these draft dodging , baby killing, torturing butchers. Then that liberal main stream media that only gives breaking news on poor Britney Spears. liberal my ass, Right wing corporate ownership that profits one way or another from Republican war .We need stem cell research done on this uncivil union and the people that support them and get the genes corrected for further generations. This dynamic dual is not done creating death by no means, one can only imagine what they will create for the upcoming election there will be a Pearl Harbor event, like they called at Project New American Century before 911 happened.
Concerned is right, The Repugs have used the religious right to foward their agenda. And where are those fine upstanding Christians? Have they denounced them? Hypocrites, all of them.
What the fuck is a surge? Shoot anything brown?
After years of these assholes and nothing done. Who are these people who just love chimpy? Blue-collar, white women?
GMAFB
Assholes have a nerve to rake Sen. Obama over the coals. Racism at it purest form.
I have seen tons on people for Sen. Obama. I’m glad the blog asshole(s?) aren’t running the world.
I would be proud if Sen Obama was my son. This is our next President of the United States. I’m happy and proud to have him on my side.
The rest of you dumbasses can have chimpy/mcsnowball. I ain’t gonna argue with that.
Go Obama!
Go USA!
Left&Left @ 6:
or his entire life thus far?
Don’t know about Cheney. But I’m prepared to believe Bush is the missin’ link’n.
