TV has been interviewing Dick Cheney again.

When Cheney speaks, it makes me realize there are two
populations of people in the US, and I'm not in one of them !

If you have something you dislike about Cheney's proposed ideas or policies, then post them up.

Argue the facts, but stop the ad hominem attacks without any facts to back them up.

For instance, I say Obama is an ass-wipe because he shut down the WWII memorials, here, and overseas, purely to upset the older vets being brought in on Honor Flights, from around the country, as well as thousands of other visitors.

I could see it if the feds had to pay much for anything in the WWII memorial, but the upkeep is paid for by private funds.

When I hear Cheney talk, I hear a smart guy, who's very direct, and very intense. He doesn't beat around the bush like so many politicians are fond of.

I don't agree with everything he says, but I damn sure respect the guy. If you had to make an important decision on something, whose counsel would you seek out, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, or Dick Cheney?

He might be right, or wrong, but he's not going to be blowing smoke up my ass.**

I don't think seeking counsel from politicians is a wise course of action, especially these three. If you want a lot of purposeless death though Cheney is your man.
