Because Cheney hates Blacks too.

What is your question? It is Cheney who has gay daughter not Rumsfield.

Iraq-didnt the Dems vote for it too and proudly, especially Kerry.  This is a stupid question.  Is there a law to prevent a lying, soldier-bashing person from running from pres?  no.   Why would Dems want to impeach Bush?  Do like Cheney that much-ha.

The GOP attempts to end affirmative action was meet with a filibuster by the Democrats.  He is attempting support of immigration reform currently (not up to date on your current news I see) all be it it is an ulta Liberal stance.  \nAlso as you noted he "promised" during his campaign, are you sure?  Or did he profess that those issues were on his agenda?  In the system of government that the US has, the president can not write laws or bills... or did you not know that?

Clause 2 of the 25th amendment:\n\n"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."\n\nThis is the closest mention of anything in the Constitution.  I would assume that if he hasn't been inaugurated yet, the President-elect would have more leniency in picking his next VP with no vote by Congress.

because he was the leader of a political movement before being sent to prison.  Mandela was a young black man who I believe was a lawyer who agitated the system in an attempt to end "apartheid".  He probably would be classified somewhere in the realm of Black Panthers/Malcolm X if he were in this country.  He served 28 years in prison for nothing more than demanding the rights of the majority population in his country (whites ruled although they were a minority).  As a political prisoner, he became a symbol of freedom and remained the symbolic head of the African National Congress, which was kept alive by Winnie Mandela (despite her flaws).  He was the natural choice for president of South africa when the sick and cruel practice of apartheid ended.  He's a living legend for all people who value freedom and human rights, but for Black people around the world, especially

It is a conflict of interest. But nothing will be done about it.  That is politics. Cheney also has a lot of political experience.  He has been involved with politics for a long time.  Governor of Wyoming, he was on the first President Bush staff and I believe he was on Presidents Nixon and Fords staff. (however don't quote me on that one it might have been a different president)

As a young man he dragged out his Master's studies, which he never finished, to avoid the draft. As a Congressman he opposed banning cop-killer bullets and plastic guns which can evade airport security. As Defense Secretary he complained that the Democratic Congress prevented him from making greater cuts to the defense budget, then in 2000 and 2004 turned around and tried to scaremonger that the Democrats would oppose defense spending! As VP he has attacked the constitution by seeking to claim unprecedented and unlimited new powers for the president, and ceded America's moral high ground by defending torture.\n\nNot an admirable record.

It was already too late to salvage votes that would have made the difference, on the other hand, he (GWB) may have salvaged the senate with just a few more votes in Virginia.\n\nGWB explained that he didn't announce  the change until after the election, because he didn't want the troops to think his decision to do so, was political!\n\nRumsfeld had certainly become a lightning rod for the administration, and the delay in doing something about it, festered in the minds of many voters.

This is a guy who got out of Vietnam by claiming a sore anus. A failure at being a liberal disc jockey named 'rusty', he became a welfare case, then was arrested in 1971 in Pittsburg for soliciting homosexual prostitutes! His 3rd wife complained of a "sexless" marriage, and one of his former boyfriends says that he "guarantees that none of his marriages was consumated"! Later he campaigned to put ronald reagan on Mt. Rushmore, claiming that he voted for him when in fact he never did. He then became a devious drug addict who violated federal drug laws and got off scott free, due his contacts in the republican-led government, for whom he is a loyal parrot. He now calls himself rush limbaugh, his 4th alias! Why people so blindly follow this shameless druggy closet-queer former welfare case hack is WAY beyond me!

What makes you think Cheney did that on accident? I sure don't think it was an accident, I think he really wanted to kill the man for not following orders about Scooter Libby. These people are Nazi's.

The Vice President presides over the Senate and casts the deciding vote when a tie occurs.  So for now, Oil Companies will make the decisions when Republicans and Democrats can't compromise.

He retired from public life in 1999. See his\nbiography on the ANC site (referenced below).

It's an issue that has not been dealt with yet and could be contentious if it ever does. The problem is, the 22nd amendment, which limits presidents to two terms does not specifically say that the VP cannot have been president for 2 terms, but at the same time, the twelfth amendment states, "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." Whether or not this applies to the interpretation of the 22nd amendment is not at all agreed upon and would involve a Supreme Court dispute if it ever arose.
