Dick Cheney: What He ACTUALLY Said

Before we start believing the fairy-tale, revisionist, B.S. that ALL the Republi-cons have been saying about the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, here is what Dick Cheney ACTUALLY said regarding:

• Why: "We asked for a declaration of all of his WMD come clean. He refused to do that. He’s, again, continued to do everything he could to thwart the inspectors. I’m hard-put to specify what it is he could do with credibility at this stage that would alter the outcome."
  Iraqi peoples' response: "The read we get on the people of Iraq is there is no question but what they want to the get rid of Saddam Hussein and they will welcome as liberators the United States when we come to do that." https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/bush/cheneymeetthepress.htm

Republicans Come To Silicon Valley To Offer Corruption For Cash

"They were offering a flat-out quid pro quo: give us money and in exchange we will cut your taxes, block taxes on profits made from moving jobs out of the country, cut government oversight of various schemes you try, and let you import more lower-wage tech-workers from outside the country."

Shape Shifters in Lesterland & The Day That TV News Died

Bipartisan, equal opportunity, pathological …… democracy destroying……… corruption.
                                         THAT is today’s America.

We cannot ignore the corruption any more if we want to create a government that works for BOTH the ‘left’ and the ‘right’.
America was founded as a Representative Democracy “dependent upon the people alone”. (NOT 132 people alone. As you will see if you view the piece above.)
Many of us have simply given up. Thinking the job of repairing our country is simply too big or difficult or impossible.
But TRUE patriots will not roll over and quit … just as a parent who gets the diagnosis of terminal brain cancer in their 6 year old child would never give up in trying to save that child.

And, from the above: "What mattered then and what matters now is likability—known in television and advertising as the Q score—not honesty and truth. Television news celebrities are in the business of sales, not journalism. They peddle the ideology of the corporate state. And too many of us are buying."
