Can anyone look at Cheney and not see the Devil staring back at them? If not, get a new prescription for your eye glasses.

I heard it grew to become into the comparable caterer as invoice Clinton had at his occasion in 1977, whilst Jimmy Carter pardoned him, as a Draft Dodger. Clinton did no longer even get the deferrment, he merely no-confirmed. Clinton continues to be the only convicted Felon to be elected President...

The late editorial writer Mike Royko termed these cowards "war wimps," since they are quick on the trigger when they are sitting in a Beltway office, but used every family favor possible to keep themselves on the sidelines or in a cushy National Guard job during Vietnam.

Being his 'fifth', I think the answer is obvious. Maybe you should cut him a break though... since he said he's not part of the Executive Branch, maybe he couldn't find his way to any branch of the military either. :-)

Would you rather go hunting with Dick Cheney or ride in a car with Ted Kennedy?

Discussing pirogies and vodka with Ivan and Vladamir while in Russia?
No, that was Bill.
If Dick did say those things then my thinking of him as a ghoulish figure is further reinforced

I do not see it as an issue. He was in college and the law provided for deferments for those in college. He invoked that law. And, he got one deferment for being a new father, again something provided by law. Nothing shady here.

Anyone advocating war and did not volunteer for combat should keep their opinions to theirselves.
This applies to Democrats as well.

He was doing other patriotic things just like he is now.
He tried to go there but some people should serve and some should leed.
Cheney is a true American leader.
