Cheney may be a mean-spirited, soulless SOB, but at least he is competent. I think his worldview is screwed up beyond all belief, and he is utterly clueless about Iraq, but he does have some understanding of how the government functions.\n\nDan Quayle can barely spell and makes George W look like a rhetorical genius. \n"I didn't live in this century"?\n"If we do not succeed, we will fail"?\nAnd Buzz Lukens walking on the moon.

One of the world’s largest suppliers of reliable products and services to the oil and gas industry since 1919. Vice-President Cheney is a stockholder in this company and was responsible for Halliburton obtaining contracts for 'services rendered' in Iraq from the git-go. At the time, I smelled a rat. Collusion. I still do!\n\n                                                             HANK (Josh)

what Cheney has been doing, first as Secretary of Defense, then since 2001, and still today, has been to work to take the power of government away from the nation-state, and transfer that power to shoot to financier interests owned and used by the imperialist financier class. What Cheney has done to that effect, is therefore far worse than treason.\n\nRid ourselves of his position in government, urgently, now, while you still may, and restore the military, intelligence, and police functions of the nation back into the hands of constitutional government. Reverse immediately all legislation and other actions which perpetuate what is the intrinsic corruption associated with the legacy of the functional relations among Cheney, Rumsfeld, George Pratt Shultz, Halliburton, and Bechtel.

It's about time.  But, his ratings have plummeted along Bush's and he needs to come clean or they will beat him up over there more than they already have.  Bush's "lap poodle" has made the other turn around about admitting to the disaster of Global Warming, so maybe he "got  religion."  If we had such candor here it would be refreshing, but that is only coming  from democrats  and conservatives like Bill Buckley who calls this war "lunacy."  But, Bush and Cheney are not interested in what we think, nor do they care.  They are sailing along with their plan for the plunder of  Iraq and the US Treasury, and it will only end when  he leaves office and all of Halliburton's contracts expire.

Maybe because of Neo Conservative theories that your party follows.\nAfter all war insn't such a bad thing if you see it from different perspective, it can make lots of money ;)

It's stocks and big business, weapons manufacturers, Oil Companies, forced inflation. You see it's a lot easier to make more money by raising the prices up then hiring more people to increase your production. You have done nothing but raise the price and collect the money. That is what the Republicans are about. War is is they don't serve in the military, and fight the wars, they just profit from the outcomes of the wars like George Bush, and Cheney have. People mean nothing to them and their people will never be in harms way. George Bush wont even go to Iraq, He sent Tony Blair last week, He is a sissy.

Off course Dick Cheney would. Bush has done nothing for this country other than making his buddys rich. Bush is empty brain monkey.

Cheney earned >$1.6 million /year as an executive at Halliburton.  Before he ran for VP he took out insurance on his value in stock options, which he received some income (~900,000) from until 2004.  As VP he earns $208,000/year.\n\nSo I would say that he didn't get into politcs for the money.

Bush and the oil companies record profits. If there wasn't record profits there wouldn't be any problem. They are gouging America, and Bush is allowing it to happen.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT CHENEY!!!!  The success of Bush Vice Presidential running mate Richard Cheney at leading Halliburton, Inc. to a five year $3.8 billion "pig-out" on federal contracts and taxpayer-insured loans is only a partial indicator of what may happen if the Bush ticket wins in two weeks. A closer look at available research, including an August 2, 2000 report by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI) at www.public-i.org, suggests that drug money has played a role in the successes achieved by Halliburton under Cheney's tenure as CEO from 1995 to 2000. This is especially true for Halliburton's most famous subsidiary, heavy construction and oil giant, Brown and Root. A deeper look into history reveals that Brown and Root's past as well as the past of Dick Cheney himself, connect to the international drug trade on more than one occasion and in more than one way.\nThis June the lead Washington, D.C. attorney for a major Russian oil company connected in law enforcement reports to heroin smuggling and also a beneficiary of US backed loans to pay for Brown and Root contracts in Russia, held a $2.2 million fund raiser to fill the already bulging coffers of presidential candidate George W. Bush. This is not the first time that Brown and Root has been connected to drugs and the fact is that this "poster child" of American industry may also be a key player in Wall Street's efforts to maintain domination of the half trillion dollar a year global drug trade and its profits. And Dick Cheney, who has also come closer to drugs than most suspect, and who is also Halliburton's largest individual shareholder ($45.5 million), has a vested interest in seeing to it that Brown and Root's successes continue.

gotta good story about ol' cheney. \n\nin the 1990s Iran was sponsoring anti-american terrorism. Khobar towers bombing etc.  \nWith the suppor of america and the international community, President Clinton wisely stopped trading with Iran for good reasons.  Conoco had a billion dollar oil deal with Iran.  This would have stopped the deal.  Cheney, working for Halliburton, criticized Clinton for his wise decision because he wanted halliburton to continue making billions.  Bottom line, Cheney would rather have a relationship with terrorists and have money.  Does that sicken you?  It does for me.  He's evil and greedy.
