Mikey, don't you think Halliburton could just go the the Dickster and say, "Look, just keep the lucre flowing and we'll catch you on the flip side, out of office, when no one is looking!" Cheney, thus unbound, claims to donate his HAL profits to charity. It says a lot that Cheney didn't DO this until he started getting public flak for directing public money to HAL and profiting from it. He was FORCED to do it, MADE to do it. Are you a moron? The simple fact that Cheney was a fromer CEO makes ANY contracts HAL gets stink. Are you unable to grasp this simple fact? Cheney is the poster child of a modern, corrupt Repugnican. Failing body, has ducks thrown in front of his gun at his canned "hunts" - the man is a Sith lord of evil.

Wow, you can really take a simple point and twist it into a rabid support for the most corrupt administration in US History. I said that all of Cheney's connections to Halliburton and all of Halliburton's noncompete, costplus contracts plus its defrauding of the US taxpayer amount to serious conflict of interest AND corruption. This is a very simple point. As I said before. FACE IT. You support corruption in government. That puts you into lockstep with other Republicans. FACE IT. You didn't come up with the charitable ties (although you apparently think you did ROTFLMAO) but you conveniently forget Cheney's statements about getting rid of his financial ties, his tax breaks and the obvious gains he gets from charitble donations to causes he believes in with the now amazingly expanded value of his HALLIBURTON OPTIONS. FACE IT. ADMIT IT. You believe in supporting the corrupt.
