You probably do not know how the Civil Rights Act was passed. LBJ could not get the segregationist southern Democrats to vote for it. He called Ev Dirksen the Republican minority leader in the Senate for help. Dirksen delivered the votes from his fellow Republican Senate members and the Act passed. If there is credit to be given it belongs to LBJ and the Republicans who voted for it.LBJ was scum of the Earth. He did maybe one thing right, and that was his support of the Civil Rights Movement. He deserves a pretty low place in history for Vietnam and for being every bit of the scumbag that JFK was when it came to women.
He had no option on civil rights so I can't give him credit for even that. There was no way to stop the tide.
Lady Bird for her beautification of America campaign was pretty cool. Man I remember driving down thru Detroit in the 60's and even as a kid long before I became a conservationist being just appalled at the landscape.
Both LBJ and JFK were married to women they could have never deserved. That's actually not that uncommon of a trait though in First Ladies. There's been a few notable exceptions, but the women to hold that position have typically been among the best in the nation, while their husbands could barely measure up.
Yes I do. The socialists hate him because he is able to carry through on policies that are good for the nation. That means they are not able to force their Marxist policies on the rest of us. He stands for freedom and they just can not handle it. I have lived long enough to recognize socialist lies and tactics. One of the foremost tactics is to attack someone's character when there is nothing else legitimate to do. Cheney is out of office so get a life and get over him. He is by far a better American than any of you who hate him so much!
Why aren't you lib asswipes out protesting the Nobel Peace Prize Winner's multiple wars?
Cheney's political career began in 1969, as an intern for Congressman William A. Steiger during the Richard Nixon Administration. He then joined the staff of Donald Rumsfeld, who was then Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity from 1969–70
Dick Cheney was a self-aggrandizing criminal who used his knowledge as a Washington insider to subvert both informed public debate about matters of war and peace and to manipulate presidential decisionmaking, sometimes in ways that angered even George W. Bush.
After his early years of public service, he capitalized on connections he made while being paid by taxpayers to earn tens of millions of dollars presiding over Halliburton. While there, he did business with corrupt Arab autocrats, including some in countries that were enemies of the United States. Upon returning to government, he advanced a theory of the executive that is at odds with the intentions of the founders, successfully encouraged the federal government to illegally spy on innocent Americans, passed on to the public false information about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and became directly complicit in a regime of torture for which he should be in jail.
Dick Cheney is an arrogant, self-serving, criminal sonofabitch. I would like to see him prosecuted and imprisoned. And if the ordeal kills him -- good. I hope he suffers on the way out. The rotten bastard is responsible for more misery than he could ever atone for.

Okey dokey moron why?
Because he was vice president over a war in Iraq?
Or an honest person?
Why/why not?
Ive seen no evidence to the contrary. But then I'm not God. I don't know the secret desires of His heart.
give me a break.
I can do quills with sweet grass. I can chew hide.
That's true, he is probably the best VP we've ever had. Just look how useless and embarrassing Joe Biden is in comparison.
Honestly, Cheney would of made a great President too.
What the hell are you talking about?
"Like most people in Washington, Clinton understood that Ronald Reagan was a figurehead and that it was really the Bush Cabal, which was running things for all of those 12 years. He also understood that the Bush Cabal had perpetrated the greatest fraud ever committed against the American people and that the Bush Cabal had essentially destroyed the economy of the United States - which in fact they had."
No he isn't a nice person nor honest. He is an opportunistic belittling jerk who is using his former position to make a buck. There is a special place in hell for the asshole Cheney.
Why do you hate him? Do you even know?
Why do you hate him?
Why don't you answer the question MarcATL?
What exactly has he been dishonest about?
What exactly makes him a "bad person"?
Its funny how you libs pretend you like to believe people are innocent until proven guilty, except of course when it comes to Republicans.
I've never really understood this obsession libs have with Cheney.
MarcATL hates Cheney and thinks he's evil because Cheney is white.
I'll be honest, Bush may be unintelligent, but hes a good man.......
"Bush may or may not have violated state ethics laws with all of this big money backscratching, but there is no doubt that he and these businessman are operating corruptly -- funneling large amounts of state money to the businessmen's companies, and large amounts of their personal and business money into George Bush Jr.'s pocket and political campaigns."
However, I'll answer. He believes in torture and is unapologetic about it...there goes his goodness.
He lied about the WMDs to push an uneccessary war that him and his cronies already were planning on going into pre-911...there goes his honesty.
I didn't call one contractor out, I also stated I work for a large defense contractor. Let me put this in prospective for you. Once Obama took office he yanked all no bid offers on the table in Iraq. saved billions. However, it did make the job tough as some contractors were used to indulging as they deemed fit. at the expense of the US tax payer, ya, the same one many are so worried about if Obama raises taxes. utterly laughable.
you been to Iraq Tiny?
Cheneys first name is Darth.
Or an honest person?
Why/why not?
I think he is someone who believes in a certain philosophy on how to keep America safe, and that is the aggressive use of force.
