DNA: Let's see. Cheney, as a member of Congress from Wyoming, voted for the working man and working woman just 6 percent of the time in 10 years. He also voted for cop-killer bullets. I agree. For a guy like this who never educated himself on anything, it's his duty never to vote again ... ever ... not even for dogcatcher.

<< If you don't take the time to educate yourself on a given race, it's your DUTY NOT to vote. >> I agree with you, on this, about Cheney. He may not have been aware of important issues in his own state. Should someone who doesn't think that it is important to understand the issues in his own state, be Vice President? Perhaps Cheney was too busy parlaying his Secretary of Defense connections into a fat job and 40$ million dollar payoff at Halliburton. It's funny how Halliburton's $4 million contract with the Pentagon grew to $546 million while Cheney was Secretary of Defense, and then added another $405 million contract for Bosnia, Croatia and Hungary operations. Now, Halliburton has been awarded another $900 million Army contract, and another $300 million Navy contract. No wonder why Cheney got a big $40 million payoff. And, guess who is really paying for that bonus? Ahhhhhh, the nice odor of Political life and connections. After all, how much is being the Secretary of Defense worth? If George "White Nostrils" Bush wins, Cheney is going to be a heart beat away from the Presidency. I wonder what parts of America can be sold off for more $40 million dollar personal payoffs?
