GRAND JUNCTION — Both Dick Cheney supporters and anti-war forces let the vice president know how they felt Friday with posters and flag-waving as his motorcade sped by 26 and G 1/2 roads on the way to a private fundraiser for a Republican colleague. Cheney smiled and waved to them as his limo zoomed by.

The vice president and his wife, Lynne, traveled to Grand Junction for two hours Friday to raise money for Bob Schaffer, a Republican running for U.S. Senate. A three-term former congressman, Schaffer seeks the seat now held by retiring Wayne Allard. Democrat Congressman Mark Udall also seeks the Senate seat. The $5,000-per-couple fundraiser was held at the home of Craig and Jeannean Springer.

Still, as expected, anti-war protesters lined a block of the rural roads leading to the Springers’. Also not unexpected, two protesters were detained by Grand Junction Police for obstructing a public road.

Cheney is a “war criminal. He is the architect of the war,” Jacob Richards said. “He has the blood of 4,000 troops on his hands.” “It’s been five years,” Mallory Rice said. “He is a war criminal, and he should be held responsible. “It’s morally wrong to make money from people dying,” Rice said.

"On the other side of the issue were four young men who rode their American-made pickups to a high point on G Road. “Initially, I wanted to visit the vice president, but we’re not on the A-list,” said J.T. Venema. "


See, they drove American-made pickups and everything. Why, they were a teeming mob of patriotism! And Cheney is their hero!
