Cheney is a crooked stinker and here's why:
first of all, quit trying to evade the issue by pointing to false allegations about small-time misdeeds of the Clintons. That Chinese money thing is a total lie. Clinton never pocketed any money from China. Just a purely made-up right-wing conspiracy theory like al the rest. Whitewater cleared the Clintons of all charges after the most expensive political witch-hunt in history.

Let's talk facts. Cheney was CEO of Halliburton. When he was made the Veep candidate he vowed he had gotten rid of all HAL interests. He lied. He kept some. Doesn't matter if they were in a blind trust or he planned to give some or all of it to charity. That's irrelevant. Fact is, it's illegal and unethical, especially since Halliburton has been the favorite contractor of the Bushies along with Bectel. And don't tell me Cheney has nothing to do with that. It's his speciality and his company. That's a ridiculous assumption.

Bush-Chehney gave HAL no-bid contracts. That in itself is against the rules. And 7 billion bucks worth of tax-payer money. That's a HUGE-HUGE contract. What? Schlumberger or Baker-Hughes couldn't have done the job too? Why weren't they allowed to bid? And why did Cheney end to keep 330,000 HAL share options? Why give it to charity in the future when no one is watching? Doesn't make any sense. Cheney lied and was trying to cheat.
