Yes of course I say that about most politicians and that's because it's 100% the reality of the situation. Pick who you want, at the end of the day the same agenda continues, the only difference is the avenues it takes.

That video I posted paints a real good picture why. The Iraq war means nothing to you? You think Muslim terrorists have hurt this nation more than Cheney?

I am all for unemployment insurance, food stamps, section 8 housing and government funded health insurance for low to middle income workers. The following article clarifies it very well:
Why Big Business Loves Desperate Workers
To sum it up, this article gives an example of two workers and how government assistance prevents the desperation many encounter when looking for new employment. There are numerous predatory employers that prey on the desperate job seekers. These employers offer employment with jobs that are well below the average wage, unsafe, bad working conditions, 20 to 30 hours per week with no benefits.
Government assistance provides a way where the job seeker doesn't have to take what is handed to them and can shop around for the better employment opportunities. If no one will work for the predatory employers they will either have to go out of business or change their ways.
Many republicans don't favor government assistance because many people abuse the system. I have to agree, some do abuse the system but is a small minority that do.
As for Dick Cheney comment about using funds allocated for social programs for military projects, I disagree.

A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction.
How the hell is that accomplished eh ?
HOW ?
Sure the EFF not paying walmart prices for weapons systems when the rest of the world is making better stuff than we are right now.

Cheney was a bigger threat to the US, perhaps the world, than Muslim terrorists are. I can't say that enough.

Terrorist both Islamic or domestic fundamentalist terrorists did not have the ability to destroy the G-D piece of paper that GWB railed about.
We are way less free directly because of GWB and Cheney than we were before there administration.
This is how they did it.
Cheney is a traitor for outing Valerie Plame and should be in prison.

I knew you'd come running in to defend Cheney. Oh so baited!
Seriously though, why you defend Cheney is beyond me. I guess you're just an old school Republican through and through.
Totally free to continue picking apart this thread and video but you'll never take away the meaning of the message.
