Something Cheney would prefer we do not know......

...... but we know it now!

The level of hypocrisy exhibited by the Bush/Cheney regime is sickening. The fact that Cheney and Halliburton provided assistance to Saddam to sidestep and abuse the oil for food program is something they really don't want us to know.

The Bush/Cheney regime and the republican camp sickens me. Their hypocrisy is endless.

the true sign of a losing candidate- when his supporters have to turn to smearing Cheney to justify themselves. ( democrats seem to think they can go into a person's past life yet it is unjustified if someone goes into Kerry's or Edward's)

Let us not talk about any controversial war unless of course it is Vietnam.

Let us not talk about any political record unless of course it is the record of my candidate.

Let us not talk about anybody's past business experience unless of course it is my opponent and his running mate.

Speaking of Vietnam... it disgusts me to see Kerry talk about his war record like its some accomplishment when he himself declared himself a war criminal (guess i shouldnt be surprised, this candidate will do anything for an extra vote)

both candidates have talked about each other's records(why wouldnt they??) ,

and business experience???? Holy crap, i cant count the number of times Kerry has criticized Bush's oil companies and Edward's has tried to divert attention from himself by throwing out Haliburton... Id say that the candidates(all of them) past matters little unless its politically oriented, and i wish both candidates would stop bringing it up.

(hope i understood your post correctly, seemed you were mocking Bush)

More of an equal mocking since Kerry does not like Bush talking about Iraq because it is a controversial war but so readily brings up Vietnam.

I read through Leopold's full article and there's nothing in it to substantiate his bald claims. He just says what he wants. Not a shred of proof, not even circumstantial evidence.

And it's so easy to do a hatchet job on someone by taking sound bites out of context (both sides do it); Leopold has done one here for the sole purpose of making Cheney look bad, a rather desperate move if you ask me. I know nothing about commondreams.org but I'll bet I could take a wild stab at their politics and get close.

Cheers,

I read it also Daiwa, and the only source I see referenced that supposedly proves Haliburton did this is a Washington Post story. Not a link to the story but a reference. Without any documentation, it is opinion.

dabe, do you have any links to any proof other than speculation?

I'm not orchestrating a smear campaign against the Bush/Cheney administration, as some would like to believe that I'm doing. All I'm doing is pointing to articles that should make you think about some of thier past practices. I'm not smearing. I'm not making this stuff up. I'm attempting to expose their self-serving hypocrisy. It's out there for anyone who wants to do some serious investigation. I put it out there to expose some facts that our administration would rather the public did not know. Do a google search on "cheney halliburton". You'll be amazed. This is not slander. This is not smear. I don't make this stuff up. It's real, it has happened, and it should cause people to say "WTF?"

Drmiller, "Wrong answer jerk" fits right up there with your other standard post response: "ca-ca."

And my other personal favorite:
"You on the otherhand NEVER have a good thing to say about President Bush."

I have yet to see you say anything good about Kerry or Democrats in general and when you really don't have a substantive argument to present, you try to bully the writer into silence via intimidation. Example: the first time you visited my blog site, you basically had nothing to say except your brashly pointing out a typo made by me and another blogger in the "comment section" as if that was suppossed to scare me into silence.

If certain people only want to write about one party, one candidate, or one perspective, that is there right...there are plenty of people out there doing the exact same thing for the opposition. It's called the "free flow of information and ideas." If you hate dabe's posts so much, why do you keep coming back for more? Answer: Everytime you log onto a blog site and do one of your hit-and-run attacks you rack up blogger points. Nice.

dabe, you go right on and keep posting whatever the hell you like whether it's one-sided, three sided, or round! The last time I checked we were still living in a democracy...

Wrong answer jerk.


That's such BS. You've always espoused an extreme right wing philosophy, which is fine. Just don't say:
my side taking depnds on who I think is right and have posted as such


unless you also say: and who I think is right will ALWAYS be the conservative.

I apologize for posting above as an anonymous user. I didn't realize I was not logged in. But, yeah, it was me, responding to drmiler's nonsense and pictoratus' question. It astounds me that drmiler would be so presumptous to write that the reason I take only one side would be because unlike him my side taking would have nothing to do with right or wrong. He presumes I'm just a troll, I guess. Like I give a rat's what he thinks. No matter. I don't find him the least bit intimidating. I will continue to post what I KNOW IN MY HEART IS RIGHT. I know that not everyone will concur, but that what makes the world do whatever it is that the world does.

Enjoy the debate tonight!!! Kerry is gonna kick dubya's dumb ass!!!

I heard that Bush was actually the one responsible for killing Princess Diana according to some ultra-liberal mag which must be true 'cause I hate Bush and so agree with anything negative I hear about him. That makes me smart and attracts others toward Kerry's side.

I had to laugh out loud reading this. God, we do sound like that on the left a lot of times. Thanks, Drag.

I read the article at the second link you supplied but it is a rehash of the first article you linked to. Where is the link to the UN report they reference?

There is nothing wrong with asking questions, but there are too many opinions being put forth as fact with no documentation to support the claims.

An opinion piece from a partisan media source (right or left) just isn't credible to accept as fact.

Pictoratus, I do agree about opinions vs facts circulationg around this election. Fact is, opinions and facts circulate all the time. It's just that it gets magnified during these very divisive times. But, you have to agree, opinions regarding both candidates are all over the place. And, it's very difficult to dismiss opinions when they support one candidate over another, and that candidate happens to be your choice. It cuts both ways, and we weigh things the best we can.

Given that, I side very strongly with Kerry and the democrats, obviously. Have you done a google search on "cheney halliburton"? Also search "bush saudi" or "bush bin laden" or bush carlyle" . Lots of amazing reading. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for your respectful reply. One thing I value more than anything is respect. If you decide to vote for Bush, then I just hope you do it knowledgably. And, of course, even though I'd disagree with you, at least I respect your opinion. I hope you also respect mine.

Be well

Absolutely. I respect everyone's right to have their own opinion and to voice it in an appropriate manner/venue.

Only with clear dialogue, unencumbered by hyperbole, can issues really be discussed and thought out to their logical conclusions. Unfortunately in today's political discourse, demogogery has become the poor substitute for truth.
