Word is that Cheney is not doing well at all.

(11,464 posts)He was born with a handicap
He was not overly All American style good looking(blue eyed blonde or like TimMcCoward was)
and probably was bullied as a child
and the constant taunts might just have caused him to turn bad, like it did to Karl Rove
who also was overweight and all
As a liberal, I would like to know
because I would love the next Cheney to be stopped from becoming the big Dick he became.
Because hey liberals-we do care and that is what sets us apart from the republicantealibertarians who form mob burn it down groups.
Bullying is a deadly thing.
Now, we may never know, and it has NOTHING to do with his later politics.
We don't have to agree on political issues to wonder
what turned him onto the dark side of life?
(we know for instance 41 had his father who was proven to make millions on WW2, but for all reports, Cheney's parents, were dirt poor(poorer than John (Let me whine about my terrible upbringing) Edwards and Cheney loved his parents so it didn't come from them.
What then?

graham4anything
(11,464 posts)but I am not supporting anything he has done politically, just curious.
And I btw, don't see any hints that something is wrong with him, and see that he just announced a date in a few weeks with his daughter at a convention as speaker.
and he has a book about his handicap coming out in the spring.
Where is the OP getting his info from?
It would be odd timing what with Bush41 being seriously ill for months, and Stormin' Norman dying. What do they say about three's?(just a superstition though).

(36,418 posts)woo me with science
(32,139 posts)I am weary.
I am weary of seeing the poor and middle class shafted and sent into despair.
I am weary of the constant, bloody wars.
I am weary of watching our civil rights destroyed, day after day.
It blew up and escalated with Bush and Cheney.
It continues under Obama.
I am sick of all of it, and I am sick of the bids for hatred and grave dancing for our side.
I am sick of it all.
