Cheney’s talking: ‘Saxby’s courageous. He hunts with me.’

Gov. Sonny Perdue just introduced Vice President Dick Cheney as “the friend and confidante of George Bush.”

Cheney thanked him for the kind words. “A welcome like that is almost enough to make me want to run for office. Almost,” the vice president said.

U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss weren’t there. But Cheney praised Chambliss’ bravery.

“Saxby’s a very courageous man. I know that because he’s one of my hunting buddies,” the vice president said.

But seriously, folks.

Cheney laid out the Bush legacy. “The absence of another 9/11 is not an accident. It’s an achievement,” the vice president said. He condemned Congress for failing to extend Bush’s warrantless wiretap legislation, but has not yet mentioned the president’s veto of a bill to ban waterboarding.

The vice president also emphasized the need to extend the Bush tax cuts soon set to expire, which Cheney said would cost 116 million Americans an average $1,800. “And they wouldn’t have to move a muscle to do it, because the tax cuts would simply expire,” he said.

The audience, nibbling on its salad, has been polite — but their enthusiasm isn’t out of control. Not the shouting and screaming we saw at the parallel event that Democrats held in late January.

Draft-dodger Cheney committed 9-11 with the draft-dodging Closet-Queen-in-Chief. The daughter he and his “lesbian-potboiler”-writing wife “gayed out” was born nine months and one day after the draft law was changed to call-up childless married men for the meat-grinder of Vietnam.

Perdue dodged the draft by going to veterinary school and Chambliss, too, lacked the courage, breeding and patriotism to sign up for honorable service with 9.2 million actual Americans.

Neither has Perdue or Chambliss, though calling themselves “Georgians,” the wits, guts or common decency to read “The New Pearl Harbor,” by Ph.D. David Ray Griffin, to discover that Bush and Cheney in fact committed the 9-11 atrocity…and in so doing serve to devise a strategy to protect Georgians and Americans from the Anti-Christ faction now subverting Our Republic and Constitution by taking us to false war for heroin, oil, and power.

We, the People, must put them out of our misery. They are draft-dodgers, cowards, traitors and perverts and the only “stopper” is the 80% Working Class, Veterans, Armed Forces and righteous Law Enforcement. Rome’s claws must be removed from the wheels of power and its Fifth Column expropriated and extirpated.

Georgia “politicians” unwilling to stand up for the People of Georgia must be condemned to the same fate in store for Bush and Cheney: trial, conviction and the gallows.

Yep. He can take a bullet to the face and not even cry about it. Now that takes courage. So suck it up out there you bunch of wimpering cowardly babies and sign up for a two-year tour like a real man or woman or lesbian or gay or illegal alien or democrat or liberal or Christian or Jew or Muslim or whatever. I’ll throw in a pair of designer sun-glasses and give you a coupon for $3 off your next purchase of Citgo gasoline. How about a good deal on a condo in Miami if — uh, when — you make it back.

I think it is ironic (and sad all at the same time) that when President clinton’s lack of Military service was questioned, it “just isn’t an issue.” Yet the same hypocrites that said that, (like little willy posting above), are quick to jump on any Republican of similar age that did not serve in VN.

Just damn I hate you mindless fanatics. Whether you be mindless dems or mindless pubs, the fact remains that you are mindless. Your insipid ranting only make sense to you and your fellow party neophytes. The truth of the matter is that that slime you spew can only be identified by party when you include a politicians name. Both you mindless dem and pub fanatics use the same form letters, slogans, and crap campaign’s. Only the names have been changed lol.

Let’s see how Dick says that tax cut works. He says you need to take an average in order to find that 116 million people will pay $1800 more in taxes. Typical Dick — making the math lie to suit his special interest. Tell it like it really is, Dick. Tell us about your CEO boyfriends getting the millions and millions for doing what! Tell us about your efforts to save them on their tax bills. Come on, Dick. Tell us how much the average household pulling in $45k per year is going to have to pay before and after these tax cuts. Then tell us about the CEOs and Boards of Directors and your other boyfriends. Then tell us how much the average person owes for the Iraq war. Just use the average value, Dick.

After reading the “comments” above from the illiterate sub-culture, all I can add is “Thank you President Bush and Vice President Cheney for protecting us these past eight years and for giving us eight years of decency, honor and pride in our great country. I wouldn’t hesitate to support and vote for George W. Bush for another four years if that were possible.

By good time, go get um

I charge “Richard” Anonymous, of “feather” with $200/hr homosexual prostitute Jeff Gannon/James Guckert’s Oval Office lover, with Misprision of Treason.

He “supports” the treasonous draft-dodgers who committed 9-11 and must share their fate.

Any with questions need only read “The New Pearl Harbor,” by Ph.D. David Ray Griffin. Bush and Cheney committed 9-11.

This is no time for indirection or uncertainty. Treason must be arrested. Those who continue to suppport it must be recognized as the Enemies of the American People they are.

Identify yourself “Richard” and be dam*ed.

“The absence of another 9/11 is not an accident. It’s an achievement,” the vice president said.… because he helped broker the deal between Bush and Bin Laden: “We’ll pull our troops away from you and stop looking if you promise not to attack us again while I’m in office,” Bush negotiated treason. He will be on his new ranch in Paraguay during the next attack. Bet on it.

Mrs. Julianne Chambliss was at the dinner. She was so nice and took the time to talk with everyone there.

We are well served by having Saxby in the U.S. Senate, with Julianne by his side!

Go Saxby!

Saxby IS courageous! He has courageously agreed with and voted for everything the GOP told him to, including keeping other people’s children at war, illegal aliens in the onion fields, and tax cuts for rich people. He doesn’t cowtow to consitutents! He’s a party boy, and nowadays, that takes guts! DARN the people! Power to the rich! Wooo-HOOOOOO, GO SAXBY!
