Either way, Bush supporter or not, let's all agree that Cheney really hasn't done much for us at this point anyway.

Looking at a couple of articles about his past make me wonder why he's in his position in the first place. I would think Condi would make a fine VP, she is one smart cookie, not to many people going to diasgree on that!

Why? Because he didn't invent the Internet?

Love him or hate him, Dick Cheney may be the most influential VP in the history of the US. In fact, Cheney is the only Vice President ever accused of being too influential. I personally feel he is one of the most responsible and capable leaders we have today. Anyone that watched the Vice Presidential debate between he and John Edwards, witnessed the brilliance of Cheney. The guy is calm and collected, and his policy and historical knowledge is unparalleled. In my view the demonization (is that a word) of Cheney has been completely based on half-truths and outright lies. The bottom line is that Dick Cheney has elevated the Vice Presidency to an unprecedented level of importance and influence. And it is for this reason that the vocal minority have made him one of the biggest targets in American politics.

It was during an interview on CNN as a matter fact about (2) days ago. I don't remember who it was exactly that was being interviewed though.

I have to disagree with you on this one. I think Cheney is the one who has been the spearhead advisor leader for about everything King George has done.

That was true in the first half of your Highness' term, then he was told to back off and make it look less obvious.

GoBucks,
I was starting to think I liked you I find it interesting you use the term "Vocal Minority", as if there is not a vocal majority soon to be minority??

I don't follow. Cheneys a dope, just another Rich politician we have all put on some unfounded high ground and now you're a jerk if you question his ability or knowledge,

Just the way the "right" likes it, Shut up and wait to be told who is the next greatest public figure to worship.

I dont know anyone that doesnt like Hillary because she is a woman. Some of my favorite people happen to be of the female sex. I think Condi is very smart, and I like her politics. A black woman would only add votes for the republicans.

AMEN the Man is the first really capable VP this Country has had in many years. I would vote for him as Prez at least half a dozen times in my state alone

Typical Republican tactic

It worked for Bush in Fl. and Ohio

Herb take a moment to do a search on this stuff and you will quickly see who was doing the cheating


Contrary to the common Gore supporter claim, each and every study of these votes has pointed to Democrats as the main culprits, not Bush. The Palm Beach Post study alone concluded that at least 68% of the 5,643 illegal felon voters were confirmed Democrats. The Florida Times-Union noted that their study in Duval County similarly suggested that the fraud was overwhelmingly Democrat. The Miami Herald's many investigations produced similar results. In one case, massive fraud was traced back to a precinct that voted 90% for Al Gore. Another Miami Herald study estimated that 75% of the illegal voters it found were Democrats. After extensive investigations of voter fraud, the results could not be more clear: voter fraud was widespread in Florida, and was committed overwhelmingly by Democrats in almost every single case. In other words, Al Gore would have easily fallen several thousand votes short of George W. Bush instead of just a few hundred had Gore not benefited from massive and widespread voter fraud on his behalf in Florida.

Herb you do not want to get me started on this...talk about half truths and outright lies. Florida and Ohio's elections were both ultimately decided correctly and there has not been one legitimate claim to dispute that. Florida had their problems because their election laws are fraught with error. What happened in '00 was bound to happen sooner or later due to their system...the final vote count just came down on the wrong side for you. The Republicans would be crying foul the same way had the votes ultimately went the other way.

As far as Ohio is concerned, there was absolutely no question who won; Bush beat Kerry by well over 118,000 votes. I was intimately involved in the '04 election in this state and I can tell you that there wasn't any fraud by either major party. The fraud was committed by the individuals being paid per new registrant by groups like ACORN and Moveon.org; the same people that turned in registration forms for Pee-Wee Herman, Dick Tracy and Mary Poppins, just to earn money for booze. Or, how about the guy collecting registration forms for crack in Defiance, OH? Further, in Ohio's election system, you would basically need to have wide spread corruption perpetrated by two Democrats and two Republicans working in harmony in each of the 88 county boards of election. It just didn't happen!

I noticed right off the bat that you were quoting an unbiased source.

Ever hear the saying " the pot calling the kettle black"

Have you ever noticed all of O Reilys Polls lean towards the right (much the same as his viewers)

Ever noticed Limbaughs callers seem to side with his right wing retoric (much the same as his listners)

Gore won that election and it is universally beleived by unbiased people.
