Vice President Dick Cheney, 67, experienced atrial fibrillation on Wednesday morning and will see doctors to "restore his normal rhythm," the second time in less than a year that he will have the procedure.

I realize many folks here loathe Cheney--but maybe some compassion is in the horizon.

Hope he gets better.

"but maybe some compassion is in the horizon."


From the left?
You must be kidding.

Compassion?

Dick Cheney deserves every ounce of pain and suffering that he gets and then some.

As does obama for agreeing with infanticide!

Waterboarding often regulates heart rythnm and its not torture. Just ask Dick.

Ps I'm surprised that Cheney has a heart to go arrythmic. Must be that shortage of Iraqi baby blood..

infanticide!

Open the window, sport, you need more oxygen.

Cheney is lucky he has good insurance and a government job. I work for a small business and just one big claim would skyrocket rates for everybody on the group plan.

Doc--

Obama is against trying to give a baby who survives a botched abortion medical care. He voted No on the BAIA in Illinois as a senator.

That is infanticide.

He is for Partial Birth Abortion--he is left of Pelosi and Kennedy and Kerry and Clinton.

If the baby is coming down the birth canal he is all for sticking scissors into the baby's brain and killing it before it takes a breath.

Cheney's got heart problems???

So?

Die you corksucker, Die.

I hope he feels the pain of the 4000 young men and women soldiers he sent to death for his megalomania, not to mention all the american lives that fought for the constitution, that he unceremoniously shat upon.

Masters Of War

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Just checking in.

Is he dead yet?

Got my dancing shoes out at the curb......

.
.
.............he has a heart ?...............

I felt that my last post didn't contain enough hate as justified by the subject.

Cheney was out the day they taught about balance of powers. His whole evil was based on a simple idea, to bring new powers to the executive branch.

Ok, that's fine, but did he have to kill so many americans to do it?

I hope he spends his eternity in hell being tag-teamed by satan, jerry falwell and jesse helms.

If Cheney dies while in office, does anyone take his place? I was just wondering......

If Cheney dies while in office, does anyone take his place?

Yes, but then who would oversee Hell.

Bush would have to nominate someone, Senate would have to come back from recess to confirm. With a couple more months of this term, it might not all happen in time.

Next in line is Pelosi.

"If Cheney dies while in office, does anyone take his place?"

Yes, the 25th Amendment swings into gear"

"Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."

It happened when Agnew resigned and Nixon replaced him with Gerald Ford.

Yes, but then who would oversee Hell.

I thought he presided over the senate.

Oh, wait, a distinction without a difference.

Watch out in those high heels or you'll be sharing a room with Ma Reagan.

Marty Ozinga probably breathed a sigh of relief.

Satan; Cheney, open wide, I feel a little peckish.

Cheney; I already told you, Bush was Prez, I was only VP.

Satan; I know, but he was just stupid, you were eeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvviiiiiiiiii
iilllllllllllll, and that turns me on.

Cheney; Ok, but I get to kill you this time.

Satan; ummmmmm, such exquisite evil.

Like all the fine examples of compassion from the righturds on the Ted Kennedy brain tumor thread.

It is a two way street.

I'll give him the same amount of compassion he showed the Iraqi people before invading their country for no reason and being responsible for the deaths of thousands and the disruption of the lives of millions. War Pigs would have been a better song to pick.

I can't stand Cheney, but I'd really like the pleasure of seeing him skulk out of the White House in shame next January and return to the underside of his rock. So get well soon, Lord Vader! My prayers are with you.

Here is a funny joke.

www.amazon.com

DAMN! Time to call off the protest in Chicago!

I was looking forward to heckling Darth!

RCADE: Cheney will end up on the Boards of half the Oil companies and defense contractors in the US and make zillions speaking to the rightwingnut sheeple about what a brilliant man he really is.

If he dies-I want a public postmortem AND independent DNA tests. Else he`ll end up on Tahiti with kenny convenietntlydead Lay.

No one will see Cheney leave the WH, he will slither away under cover of darkness and hide ala Nixon. When the economy melts down even righties will be screaming for the heads of these criminals.
They don't think they will be now but wait until the financial collapse touches their lives and they will be the loudest whiners in America.


And now, a message from Dick Cheney's heart....

Wrong again, as usual.
Try reading the Constitution sometime.

Amendment 25 - Presidential Disability and Succession. Ratified 2/10/1967.

2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

See: Spiro Agnew.

My Mom had atrial fibrillation and took medication for it for years.

She took Tambocor and Lanoxin -- two drugs one of which which strengthens the heart and the other which helps regulate the heartbeat. The most important medication she took was Coumadin which is a blood thinner.

With AT your heart can all of the sudden beat irregularly. It can beat real fast, or it can beat normally and all of the sudden slow down and then speed up again, or it can beat normally but all of a sudden skip a beat or two -- any kind of irregular heartbeat pattern -- is considered atrial fibrillation.

The danger with AT comes when your heart slows down (or skips a beat or two) for a long enough time to allow the blood to thicken to the point where a blood clot can form, break off, and then travel to the brain and cause a stroke. That's why anyone with this condition always takes a blood thinner -- to keep the blood thin enough at all times in order to prevent a blood clot from even being able to form when any heartbeat irregularity starts.

In Cheney's case, his heartbeat needs to be "electrically kicked" back into a regular heartbeat pattern. They use those "paddles" on the chest which emit an an electrical jolt to the heart and gets the heartbeat back into a normal rhythm again.

Coumadin which is a blood thinner.

It's also Rat Poison. Sometimes called "Warafin"

"Atrial fibrillation in patients like Vice President Cheney is not a source of great worry or alarm," said Eldadah. "It's very treatable."

Translation: His health insurance is the best there is.

"It's also Rat Poison. Sometimes called "Warafin"

#39 | Posted by wisgod"

Maybe the RAT is having a reaction.
Most drugs work like that - a little, it's medicine. A lot, it's poison.

He probably thought it would help him with WAR.

en.wikipedia.org

From Wikipedia.

"After an incident in 1951, where an army inductee unsuccessfully attempted suicide with warfarin and recovered fully,[6] studies began in the use of warfarin as a therapeutic anticoagulant."

I was wondering how it went from poison to medication.

CC--Thanks for the rundown on this condition. It sounds like a difficult thing to live with at times?

How are you doing with the fires? Are they close or is the smoke bad?


Also--have you read the Election Book yet?

It's like a trillion dollars if it was all approved by the voters--insane!

#39 | Posted by wisgod at 2008-10-15 03:03

I know. But the rat poison is in such a small amount it does not harm humans. Still, it is essential that anyone taking a blood thinner get a "prothrombin" blood test once a month to make sure the Coumadin level in the blood is within the prescribed range of safety. It can be an unstable drug and easy to build up too high (or too low) a level in your blood. My Mom had her blood tested once a month.

"Wayfarin" is the generic name. "Comadin" is a brand name.

CC--Thanks for the rundown on this condition. It sounds like a difficult thing to live with at times?

Once my Mom was properly diagnosed with AT it was taken care of with medication. She used to get dizzy and weak sometimes and never knew why until a physician happened to be able to diagnose AT correctly. She had it for years but did pass away from a heart attack this past March.

Also--have you read the Election Book yet?

Yep, checked it out and already voted last week (absentee ballot.) I guess you missed it, but I left you this post yesterday on the Nooner all about it and how I voted on the issues. You're right. For a state that's almost bankrupt their propositions are insane.

Here's the link to yesterday's Nooner and my post #101 addressed to you --

To Murphy - Nooner Post #101

AT = AF

I hope that VP Cheney lives long enough to go to the HAGUE, to the World Court for WAR CRIMES. This PIG is a WAR CRIMINAL, give him the best doctors keep this BASTARD alive please.....

Heart problem who would have guess that this BASTARD even had a .......Gees!!! that would be to ease let someone else finish the sentence......

"Cheney Suffers Abnormal Heart Rhythm" wihch oddly matches his abnormal brain rhythm.

To worry..... someone will die soon and scare the hell out of dems and repubs and bring them together as never before.....

Although I doubt Cheney being sick scares the hell out of dems and repubs, I think it may be safet to say that Takitez is the DR's version of Nostradamus - i.e., one who makes broad predictions which are half right.

When Cheney dies, are they going to erect a piss protection wall around his grave site?

Won't be neccessary.

Cheney is actually an 800 year old vampire who's lived this long by drinking and bathing in the blood of virgins.

Vampires, contrary to popular opinion, aren't really immortal they are just long lived. When Count Dickula finally does kick it he will simply turn into a fine powder and then just drift off into the breeze.

Within seconds no remains will remain.

Well, except fer his fucked up legacy which will cause people to curse his evil name down unto the ninth generation.

Yet?

"Cheney is actually an 800 year old vampire who's lived this long by drinking and bathing in the blood of virgins."

Actually, he's the reincarnation of Elizabeth Bathory.

Only thing that surprises me is that Darth Cheney HAS a heart. Or were the batteries running down?

When Cheney is buried someday will the grave have a dance floor on top?

Actually, he's the reincarnation of Elizabeth Bathory

That's actually Cheney's mom.

Be Well.

My response to this issue will sound remarkably similar to something Cheney once said...

"So"?

I hope that when this dick smack finally goes down the democrats don't show up and pretentd like he was a decent person. That tends to happen when people die, I hope they are like well, , , he was a tool and we are all glad to be rid of him.

Cheney not feeling well?

The subtlety of your statement is in it's undercurrents and nuances.

False alarm ghouls. Put away the party hats and whistles.

Murphy:
you got a link or a quote to support that outrageous claim you made early in the thread?

Didn't think so.

If chemical cardioversion does not work they might have to try DC electrical cardioversion. But they would have to use a special custom made defibrillator with 1000 times the normal shock to convert his abnormal rhythms because Cheney's heart is so perverted, so aberrant, so twisted with malignant dysrhythmia. It will probably cause a blackout in the local area where the procedure is performed. Let us just hope that there is not some bizarre feedback that rebounds into the electrical system and shorts out the grid, such is the danger of interfering with the titanic evil in the heart of Dick Cheney.

If he's planning on pulling a Ken Lay, then he had better hurry up about it.

Jobama...because of Cheney, MANY MANY people have died unnecessarily (and he almost killed his own friend). He doesnt care about anyone....including you.

It is sad that you are so brainwashed by your neocon party, that you dont even see that Cheney is a truly horrible human being.

Why would you even defend a VP that is known to only have evil in his heart?

#76 | Posted by ak_patel


No one knows what is in his heart but God, you pathetic little Indian Dalit.

Patel,

He began his political career as an intern for Congressman William A. Steiger, then was Chief of Staff for Ford. In 1978, Cheney was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Wyoming; he was reelected five times, eventually becoming House Minority Whip. He was Secretary of Defense during the presidency of George H.W. Bush, and led the most successful and shortest war in US history in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm, where more Americans died from accidents than from enemy fire.

To try to say he is responsible for many deaths just shows what a kool-aid drinking moron you are.

HAHAHA....Jobama..you are a "tattle tell!"

"To try to say he is responsible for many deaths just shows what a kool-aid drinking moron you are."

Considering Cheney has been VP for the last eight years and your little biography of him ends 17 years ago, I'd say you lack the knowledge to properly judge what anyone is saying about him. Do you even know what year this is?

He pushed and lied for a war that we didn't need to fight. He was one of the people insisting it would require minimal troops and planning. And people have died as a result of those obviously flawed, idiotic ideas. Not to mention we've been bankrupted in the process. History will remember him as an arrogant fool who fucked over his country big time.

I suppose your bio of Benedict Arnold would talk about all the great things he did for the rebels and end before he went to the other side. Idiot.


Compassion?


Dick Cheney deserves every ounce of pain and suffering that he gets and then some.

ALLRIGHT...it only took three posts before one of our more noted LIBERAL FUCKS got in on this action

and of course we can ALWAYS count on celisary to show us just what a prick he is........

good luck mister VP who is a human being and is having a medical problem.......

wow how hard is that for even you cold hearted lBS To say???????

of course when one out of every four ameicans DIES OF ABORTION............I guess this is the reaction we should expect........human life only means something if they are obamamaniacs? I guess

Y'know usually I have compassion for folks regardless... it's just common decency.. but Cheney doesn't HAVE any common decency.

Cheney really DOES kinda go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to evil. I mean I like Dickens' "Christmas Carol" as much as the next guy but the odds of a genuinely evil old man doing anything but harm for the rest of his life are slim to zero. If he and I were alone in a room with a phone, a Commodore Amiga, and a pile of magazines and he started having a heart attack, I'm not sure if I'd

A) Fire up the Amiga to try it out

or

B) Scavenge the magazines for old Nintendo Power issues.

I think that is one of the few people I honestly could stand there and ignore while they die painfully.

"good luck mister VP who is a human being and is having a medical problem......."

A terrible human being who would cavalierly throw away the lives of you and your entire family if it would make a few bucks for a friend.

And really BLT - abortion references? Nobody assigned you the task of determining when glob oc cells becomes a human life. Your opinion means as much as mine on the matter: nothing. Grow up already.

sure thing sully,...........NOT


one out of every four americans dies from abortions..

and that IS something that we can change

Are you really trying to convince us/you that 75,000,000 people die (as fetus') every year?

You have fucking got to be kidding.

"one out of every four americans dies from abortions.."

LOL. What a tard.

No, no it's not.

You can't prevent women from crossing state lines or international borders in order to get the procedure done.

You can't prevent ru486 and other abortion drugs from being sold on the black market in the US.

/Hell, you can't even keep drugs out of prisons fer fooks sakes.

Nor should you try.

Abortion is none of yer business, BLT.

Why can't you get that through yer thick skull?

Yer attempts to interfere in the most personal of choices available to a woman is not noble, as you seem to think, it's loathsome and suggests a patriarchal control freak at work.

Concentrate on making life better fer the people who've already been born fer a change.

Be Well.

The number is actually 1.3 million per year, does that make you feel better dumbass. Since R-vs-W over 43 million babies have been murdered in the womb and those are only ones that are reported.

Fuck your holier than thou attitude on Iraq and other left wing crap I see you spit out. How about showing some that Faux compassion for the most vulnerable and defenseless Americans.

Don't give me the Choice crap. Women and men do have a choice its be responsible and if you screw up...you were big enough to have sex now be big enough to have the baby.

Nice Danforth, you quote a feminist poet on the subject of the murder of unborn children. That is like quoting a cannibal on how to serve man.

"Fuck your holier than thou attitude on Iraq and other left wing crap I see you spit out."

It isn't crap. It isn't left wing. Unlike yourself who has another agenda, I'm simply pro-US. I was against a policy that has gotten thousands of Americans killed needlessly while bankrupting us in the process and people like you have been blind partisan cheerleaders since well after it became obvious we have no business supporting that policy. You care more about being saving face and supporting your party than doing what is right for the country. If Americans have to die so you can deny being wrong for another month, that is fine with you. You are a traitor and I'm not. So fuck off.

"How about showing some that Faux compassion for the most vulnerable and defenseless Americans."

First of all, you don't know my position on abortion at all. I'm not some hack with an all or nothing opinion. Secondly, I reject the notion that you are the person who gets to define whether an amorphouse glob of goo is an "American" or not. Get it yet, retard? I reject the very notion that all these "Americans" you are referring to even exist. So why you think you are taking a moral position, I just see a jackass trying to play God and doing a horrible job at it.

Sully,

You might find this article interesting - scroll to the bottom first to see who penned it...

www.americanthinker.com

"quote a feminist poet on the subject of the murder of unborn children"

If it's murder, alert your local police department.

Otherwise, buy a dictionary.

Jeff J - I don't care who the guy is. The article doesn't change my opinion at all. After one reading I see several flaws with his logic:

1) He inidcates the military loss in Afghanistan is the reason the Soviet Union fell. Ridiculous. The Soviet Union had financial trouble and fell apart. You know what is causing the US huge financial trouble? The war in Iraq due to absolutely no oversight on ridiculous spending. Furthermore the whole "pick your battlefield" doesn't make any sense if we are in Afghanistan anyway. Obviously, we still have to send troops where the enemy actually is, which isn't Iraq.

2) He dances around the issue that Iraq had no WMDs. This is the reason the American public was given for going in. He kind of pretends that these imaginary WMDs posed some kind of threat to us too. That's strange.

3) He ludicrously supports the silly Neocon notion that you can change the entire Middle East by installing a government in Iraq. That's as naive a pipe dream as bringing world peace by buying the world a Coke.

4) He's pretending that the people we fight in Iraq are largely the same people who attacked us and that we haven't made more enemies by invading Iraq. If that were true, we would need to be in Afghanistan and we wouldn't be bombing Pakistan.

5) He entirely ignores the ethical issue of "choosing your battlefield" by invading a country full of innocent people who posed no threat to us and kiling hundreds of thousands in the proces.

Sully,


I don't care who the guy is. The article doesn't change my opinion at all.

I didn't think it would.

I just thought you might find his perspective interesting.

Regardless, I appreciate you taking the time to read it and I also appreciate the well-thought contradictory commentary.

Your selective moralization is staggering. Do you support patricide too if they become an inconvenience.

Democrats: Party of hate, lies (Obama promises to take public financing), racism (Obama/Wright), injustice (change the laws to get your brother elected: see T. Kennedy), fake wars (bomb aspirin factory killing civilians) and ignorance (See deathpotatoe).

Wow, FreddyK, you've really opened my eyes to something. Thank you so much for putting your astute observations into such a well written format. You've changed my life for the better.

I think Cheney's heart is rejecting his evil body.
