<<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. >>

You ever look at those bills? May have had riders that were out of line.

<<He also voted for cop-killer bullets.>>

That's bullshit. There is no class of bullets that only kill cops. Now if you are talking about teflon coated bullets for target shooters that will penetrate a vest, well they were outlawed in '92. Clinton was still calling for there outlaw in '93. Gore's still wondering who Thomas Jefferson was.

Eventually you will find that banning "so-called" cop killer bullets would have banned most rifle ammo. You have been propagandized. Bad mouth the NRA if you must but they do not deserve the blame for "youth gone bad" "the criminal cult" or any other non-sense. They do educate the general public in firearm safety, something that the government finds surprisingly uninteresting.

BTW as an ex-union member I am wondering if your priorities on pension/retirement issues are on 401K type plans that are in the individuals control to a great extent. If you can learn anything from the government it is that if they have a surplus it belongs to them.
