Dick Cheney-Repeat Douche Bag

I actually hate to give Dick (May I call you Dick?) more airtime. I have debated over posting this for a few days. But what the hell-I don't feel like delving into rising gas prices, runaway inflation, a useless "war" in Iraq or the hundred other things that the Republicans have graciously bestowed upon the good citizens of this country during the Bush administration. But I will. So let's take a look at Cheney's latest statement concerning his "joke" about West Virginia. If you don't know what I'm referring to because you just arrived on earth I excuse you. If you are a U.S. citizen and don't know what the statement was then you obviously are: A) A Republican B) Too stupid to vote or C) Both A and B above. Now as we all know making a derogatory remark, even in jest, about a certain race, religion, country, state, etc. is wrong and the person making such a comment should burn in hell. That's my public statement for the record. The truth is we all do it. Of course anyone with an I.Q. above 7 doesn't say it in front of several TV cameras and major news media. Some of us mean no harm while others actually intend to offend. It doesn't surprise me that Cheney said what he said because he is an arrogant, manipulative, pompous ass. Under normal circumstances he would have committed political suicide. But lets take a deeper look at his statement. He doesn't care. Neither does his boss. My only hope is that the Democrats that elected Bush #2 (either out of fear or ignorance) will finally realize that the promises of thieves and liars (hereafter known as the Republican party) have led us to the brink of destroying America. I'm exaggerating you say? Look around...I mean really LOOK! This country is less than 6 months away from total chaos. Think things are bad now? We have yet to feel the full effects of escalating gas prices. If something doesn't give-and soon-maybe next winter-you just might have to burn your grandma's china cabinet to stay warm for one day. The next day you get fired because you can't afford the gas to drive to work. Your kids are hungry but you can't buy groceries because you owe the IRS last years taxes. You take a number and get in line for public assistance but after doing the math you realize that you would have to live to be 176 years old before you reach the overwhelmed girl behind the counter. While walking home (you can't drive because you have no gas remember?) it finally sinks in that maybe, just maybe, the Republicans don't give a shit about you Mr. Middle Class. You've worked your whole life and paid your taxes (like you have a choice!). Maybe all you ever wanted was to provide for your family and go to Disney World one time. Kiss those extravagant dreams goodbye. So what does all this have to do with Cheney's jab at West Virginia? I think it can be summed up in one word. RESPECT. The Republican party doesn't respect you as a law abiding, tax paying, honorable citizen. They take everything they can from you and when there's nothing left you are of no use to them. And there's an old saying "Be careful what you wish for." Well West Virginia, 8 years ago you voted for Bush and Cheney. The first four years evidently didn't sink in so you did it again in 2004. God help us if McCain wins in November. But keep believing the lies. Spend your Supplement Check (which if you would think about it is your money anyway that they have stolen from you) at WalMart to buy your new shotgun. And make sure you buy shells because after another Republican administration you will want to blow your brains out.

John Hagee-Asshole in a long line of Assholes

I'm sure you all have seen the story about John Hagee's statement that God sent Hitler so the Jew's could get to the promised land, yadda, yadda, and John McCain rejecting his endorsement (DUH!). OK, I'm just a tad sarcastic and a little cynical and as you know I'm not easily offended. But Hagee has taken the normal televangelist born again rhetoric to a new level. Now I'm neither Jewish or a Nazi nor am I (God forbid) a Republican and this pisses me off on so many levels that it took 24 hours for a coherent thought process to start up again. Just a few thoughts on the matter:

1. Anyone who thinks the sheep-like born again fringe religious fanatics in this country are just as mentally warped as Al Quida please raise your hand.

2. It surprises me somewhat that McCain, being a Republican, rejected his endorsement. Had it been George Bush he would have pardoned Hagee and said his taped statement was doctored.

3. More frightening than 1 and 2 above is the fact that there are thousands that actually believe what Hagee said just because he said it. I checked out a few message boards (just to irritate myself further) and was shocked by the sheer number of people that are defending him. These are the same people that believe dinosaurs and humans co-existed and use episodes of "The Flintstones" as proof. I was going to research a few more sites but I started seeing bright flashes of red at the corner of my vision and lost my motor skills preventing me from typing. I think I actually passed out from acute anger and frustration.

4. What do you think would happen if someone with the intelligence of an earthworm (or a born again christian) were to get elected to the presidency? They wake up hung over one morning after a raucous night of Bible thumping and condemning everyone that's not like them to Hell. After a hearty breakfast of extreme prejudice with a side of racism they realize that God came to them in a dream with instructions to (please insert your own Armageddon scenario here).......................

5. I want to try and reason with these people but if you've ever talked with them you know after 30 seconds there is more probability you can teach a lump of coal how to ride a bicycle.

Well the flashing lights are returning and I can feel my ability to type fading fast. I'll try and continue this later after I calm down.
