Who do you think really holds the reins of power? Bush? Cheney? or Cheney and Rumsfeld together?

Anyone but a Republican... It's time for a change.. The present administration has participated in the very acts that this country has always deplored.. Secrecy, wire tapping, lying, torture, in addition to running up the largest deficit in history and just being a bad Govt. for the people.  Never should the house and senate be controlled by the same political party as the White House... There needs to be checks and balances and you don't get this with an all Republican or Democratic party controlling the entire ball of wax...

John Kerry as president and Hillary as Vice. I believe they would straigten out some things that Bush has done and lead America down a better path.

Neither. The only thing that will happen is bush will put another person who thinks like Rumsfeld in his place. There will be no change in that aspect. However, the person taking his place has to deal with a Democratic Congress, so now he needs to come up with an exit strategy. Rumsfeld didn't feel like dealing with it. That's why he "cut and ran"...

President as in the person that makes the decisions = Dick Cheney\n\nThe ppl that tell the above president what decisions will be made = a group called the Illuminati

I don't think we ever got off of Iraq.  With 105 Americans killed in Iraq last month, how could anyone get off that topic.  Bush assured us we will be talking about Iraq for the next two years, when he announced that Rumsfeld we be there as long as he is president, and he still relies on Cheney for his advice on Iraq.  Sounds like "stay the course" to me.

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)

No, daddy George has been in control from the beginning. These same people have been in power for many, many years. If one bothers to look at old photos starting with Ford, you see the same people. Bush Sr., Cheney, Rumsfeld, Jim Baker. These people have been at the top of government for at least twenty years. You don't get things this screwed up in six years, even with W. at the helm. This has been a long time in the making. This past election has stopped them from putting the final nail in our coffin.

Funny how the political hacks on the Republican side never mention the influential Republicans who have criticized this mess. There are a lot of Republicans who are furious at how Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush have run the war. Senator Chuck Hagel, a decorated vet and the much respected Senator Warner of Virginia come to mind. These guys know what they're talking about.

Not Cheney - he is not the power behind the throne, he is the power AND the throne, with The Bush his minion.  Are we witnessing the collapse of the house of cards at last?

No.  Cheney is Palpatine.  Bush is more like Jar-Jar, but he speaks less English than Jar-Jar.

There are no strings. Bush has a little box he wears under his suit. Cheney and Rove send him the answers that way. It was clearly visible during the debates.

BushCo. and the big businesses that have the INC. after their title.  have you ever seen the movie "Wag the Dog"?  watch that, and try to have a nice nights sleep afterwards.  Cheney has so many ties to the big oil business thats its a hard sell to not believe that this was an orchestrated event with our pseduoleaders involvment.  i honestly believe, and i hope i'm wrong, that there will be a big nasty event before november of this year.  dont forget, its re-election year, and the poll numbers dont look so good for the monied interests.  bush is so much of a crack head i dont know if he does know whats going on.  but cheney and the members of the P.N.A.C. (Project for the New American Century) are devious baddies who need to all rot in prison, along with their Mr. Ed (G.W.Bush).\n\naddition:  when osama hit the w.t.c. about 18 years ago, he was on tv within two hours saying he did it.  when osama hit the uss cole six years ago, he was on tv within two hours saying "i just blew up your battleship, what you gonna do"?  but with 911, no body claimed responsibility.  two months plus after the fact, this administration (BushCo.) said: "oh, we found out it was who we had thought it was, that evil guy osama".  thats convenient, now isn't it?  and so why are we in iraq again?

It wouldn't be Cheney unless George W. Bush is killed or becomes seriously ill. \n\nA Rasmussen poll in 2005 showed three possible Republican contenders with more than 20% of the vote Rudolph Giuliani, Condoleeza Rice and John McCain. \n\nIn contrast, Hillary Clinton is the clear frontrunner for the Democrat nomination with Al Gore on 14%, John Edwards on 13% and John Kerry on 10%\n\nWhile there is still a long way to go, Clinton is a clear frontrunner for the Democrats while the Republican race looks a lot closer.
