Interview of the Vice President by Martha Raddatz, ABC News

<snip>

Q Can I do one more quick question that I forgot? Yesterday great reception with the troops. I know you talked to several of the troops there. We followed you in that rope line, and just asked people who they were supporting for President. Several said Barack Obama. I said, but he wants to get out of Iraq right away. And they said, that's okay with me. These are the troops that you addressed yesterday themselves.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: What's the question?

Q Any reaction to that?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: No.

Q It doesn't bother you that some of the troops themselves want to get out of there?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: They're a broad cross section of America. I think they've overwhelmingly supported the mission. Every single one of them is a volunteer.

1. Cheney to troops: 'Screw you'.

[Pirate Smile]

2. I believe Obama has received the most $$$ from people in the military of all the candidates.

[Barack_America]

6. All but Ron Paul.

I only recall that tidbit because it was so odd.

[Benhurst]

8. It is strange since Ron Paul was the only candidate of either party

to take on the whole military/industrial complex. It's too bad his other views are so far off the mark.

11. Amen

There were so many good things about Ron Paul...

But then so many god-awful nutcase things.

/sigh

[Pirate Smile]

13. Obama may have passed Ron Paul.

[Barack_America]

15. True that. The figures I'm quoting are old. n/t

[Cha]

7. I've read that there are so many who

want him elected..is it any wonder when they know he didn't want to go in ..in the first place?

We have a former republican marine who posts here that give us the scuttlebutt, too.

3. I really liked Martha Raddatz

When she was on Bill Maher's show. She sounded like she supported progressive topics.

4. it doesn't seem like Cheney enjoyed the i-view that much - shocking!

[Coexist]

5. Breaking: Cheney is a selfish prick

[blogslut]

9. I need to watch that whole interview

Mr. Cheenee said he didn't care what the American populace thought about the war either.

[Oilwellian]

12. So?

:D

[blogslut]

14. Arrgghh!

I want Karma to catch up with that man....yesterday.

10. "Every single one of them is a volunteer. "

Their asses belong to me and it doesn't matter what they think.

Suckaz!
