DNC Web Site speaks out re: "Cheney's Big Mouth"
http://www.democrats.org/blog/comment/00012199.html

Jun 13, 2005 ::
Cheney's big mouth

Speaking on Fox News yesterday, Dick Cheney said about Governor Dean, "Maybe his mother loved him, but I've never met anybody who does." Leave it to Cheney, who while on a stage called a reporter an "a—hole" and while on the floor of the U.S. Senate told a Senator to "go f—-" himself, to start talking about the Governor's mother.

Besides his trash talking, Cheney also lied about Governor Dean's record during his tirade. The same man who lied about the al Qaeda-Iraq connection being "well established" (and then lied about lying about it) said that Governor Dean "has never won anything". In fact, leaving aside his unanimous election as DNC Chairman in February, Howard Dean has won more elections than Dick Cheney — including five terms as Governor in a state 20% larger by population than Wyoming, where Cheney was elected to the U.S. House.

And don't look for Cheney to be winning any more elections anytime soon — polls show his lame duck administration to be one of the most unpopular in history, and Democrats to be the party that shares the values (PDF) of more Americans. This administration's time is clearly up — don't expect Cheney at the top of any ticket next time around, because the American people have had enough.

The Governor, for his part, responded to the comments as such: "My view is Fox News is a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party and I don't comment on Fox News."

1. Everything that comes out of his pie hole is a lie, he is a liar
He always lies, and noone will charge him with his remarks.

4. Dean Must Be Doing Something Right
For Dick Cheney to respond like he did, Dean is obviously getting his job done. Unfortunately, the better Dean does his job, the more nonsense we're going to hear from the Repugs, addressing nonissues.

What is Rush saying? I think it's great. Of course Cheney lies. Everything he says is a lie. :eyes: Even if it's shown he said the opposite of what he's lying about.

19. Let them try... time to start seperating the Repug-Lites from the real...
Democrats in the party.

As Dean said, I'm from the DEMOCRATIC wing of the Democratic Party.

Give 'em Hell, Howard!!

37. Actually,
Howard Dean is answering back to repuke lies and some Democrats are kind of, sort of getting behind him because their polls show that their constituents like what Howard Dean is doing and they would rather not be left in the political dust.

Just wanted to keep that clarified.

Thanks, Howard! This is great!

p.s. - If that's the best they could do for homecoming queen that was some sad little Wyoming town.

11. Well, being from Wyoming originally...
I can tell you the gene pool is a little thin up there, as is the air.

Actually, my dad grew up only a couple of blocks away from the Cheney household in Casper. They never knew each other, however, since my dad is a few years older than Darth.

And, for the record, my dad despises him.

12. My favorite lie of Chenney's, "In fact, I've never met Mr. Edwards until
this very moment." The next day they showed them together three times before the debate and Chenney of course never owned up to his lie. So republician of him.

14. The "love" comment is way over the line to me.
All of Cheney's lies are preposterous and some of them quite dangerous. This one is just hateful venom that no "compassionate" human being would ever seriously utter as an insult. That comment confirms to me that he is lacking a heart like nothing else.

I know it goes without saying but every additional syllable out of that man's mouth just continues to confirm my belief that he is an inhumane and callous human being without an ounce of sensitivity in his diseased arteries.

15. That picture of Dick shows
He's clearly been taken over by the Reptillian agenda. He was human, once, but all vestiges have been removed.

RE: Comments about Dean, So tacky! Bringing up the mum! C'mon. I hear you have a GAY daughter, Dick, and that it's incredibly WRONG to mention her existence. Dean's mom is innocent. She doesn't deserve to be dragged through the mud.

Cheney is anti-mom!

24. You would think they would want to update folks about the hearings...
I have yet to hear any High-profile DEMs on TV talking about the hearings- and zilch on the website as well.

You would think with all these Dean TV appearances he could have mentioned it once.

25. Dean = 5 times elected governor. Cheney = 5 Vietnam deferments.
I think Cheney needs to keep his lyin' mouth shut about who has won what and how many times.

That must have been one hell of an UGLY class they were in. Lynn was the homecoming queen? My God, she is butt ugly, inside and out.

As far as Dickie-poo, he looks like one of those buttheads in "Animal House", from the "right" fraternity and ROTC. Hitler Youth material, for sure. I'm sure Howard Dean is crying his eyes out because he doesn't have your love, Dickie.

God, that picture! My eyes.....my eyes.....UGH! :cry:

29. Letter to Cheney
Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 07:38 PM by ashling
Dear Mr. Cheney,

I realize that you are offended by Howard Dean's comments about Republicans. Your own history of half truths, distortions, and outright lies have conditioned you to be offended by the truth.

I would like to let you know, in response to your recent statements about the DNC Chairman, that I, for one, love Howard Dean. He does not stoop to lies and vulgarities on the floor of the United States Senate to put his point across. Howard Dean is, and I apologize for using a word not in your vocabulary, an honorable man.


on edit: flood Cheney's office wit letters of love and support for Howard.

36. "DNC Web Site speaks out re: "Cheney's Big Mouth""
Dick Cheney has lost so much credibility, added with the fact that he WANTS to be the Bush administration's bulldog b/c he is retiring to Halliburton in 2008, that I doubt much credence can be lent to his loud craptrap.

It's like I'm breathing the fresh air again! Like Dean is putting the defibrillator to my chest and got me to see that there is still life in the party and we don't have to take this shit anymore. And one more thing, Democrats need to all take a collective shit and get rid of all the Dean haters in the Dem party in Congress: Pelosi, Biden, etc. Trashing our own does nothing for our cause.

And it's obvious from his appearance and his health, that his being one of the main hogs at the trough has not enhanced his looks.
