1. i don't know... I'd rather have the image of *'s performance in the debate
be what comes to mind when people think "our president". It's scarier.

2. He is a man who had no problem doing business with states
that support "terrah" through the Cayman islands. Howzthat for a person interested in "national security".

Saturday, Feb. 17, 2001 -- WASHINGTON -- Recently I read that that Dick Cheney's personal cash cow, Halliburton -- a monolith in the American oil hardware and software industry -- has opened an office in (where else?) Tehran.

HOUSTON, Texas (Reuters) -- A U.S. grand jury issued a subpoena to Halliburton Co. seeking information about its Cayman Islands unit's work in Iran, where it is illegal for U.S. companies to operate, Halliburton said on Monday.

During a trip to the Middle East in March 1996, Cheney told some U.S. businessmen that Congress should ease sanctions in Iran and Libya to foster better relationships with those countries.

"Let me make a generalized statement about a trend I see in the U.S. Congress that I find disturbing, that applies not only with respect to the Iranian situation but a number of others as well," Cheney said at the time. "I think we Americans sometimes make mistakes . . . There seems to be an assumption that somehow we know what's best for everybody else and that we are going to use our economic clout to get everybody else to live the way we would like."

Resume of Vice President Dick Cheney to be Posted on Monster.Com
August 6, 2004
By Evelyn J. Pringle

Dick Cheney is too modest to list his past accomplishments as CEO of Halliburton on the White House Website, so I decided to give him a few pointers on writing a resume to submit to future employers when he leaves the White House in January 2005.

I would definitely keep the focus on three areas of expertise: (1) Setting up fraudulent tax havens to avoid paying US taxes; (2) Doing business with terrorist countries; and (3) Stonewalling criminal investigations without going to prison.

4. Cheney is truly a Dick, a Dr. Death dick, a miserable, craven, corrupt man
But there isn't enough time, in my view, to get viewers to digest the incredibly arcane details of Cheny/Halliburton perfidy. Unless Edwards can sandwich it all into some kind of snappy soundbite, the average voter would zone out, I'm afraid.
There's a certain amount of fatalism about corporate corruption and government figures lining their own pockets...
