- He responded the same way I might have responded. In reality, the reporter used a fallacious argument. How should you reply to that? Ad Populum, anyone? Seriously, are we really so into this 'current administration' hate that we won't even let people respond to illogical arguments?

- I love it when "Liberals" are trying to pass themselves of as "Progressives". Conservatives are at least proud of who they are and are not trying to re-brand them selves as 'Constitutionalists" or "Freedomists"

From The Page:
Cheney displayed as little concern for the families of the 4,000 dead U.S. soldiers as he for the American public.
When Raddatz asked him about the terrible toll, first he said, "The President carries the biggest burden," implying that the burden on the loved ones themselves is lighter than Bush's.
I really doubt that.
And then he stressed that they volunteered to be in harm's way anyhow.
To her credit, Raddatz followed up this way:
"When you talk about an all-volunteer force, some of these soldiers, airmen, Marines have been on two, three, fours, some of them more than that, deployments. Do you think when they volunteered they had any idea there would be so many deployments or stop loss? Some of those who want to get out can't because of stop-loss."
Cheney's response: They signed up after 9/11 to defend the nation, and they are committed to the cause.
Looking for empathy from Cheney is like searching for remorse from OJ.

- A little left-wing, but a good article nontheless. A note to the entire Bush administration: Your job is not to have everyone in the world hate you. Quite the opposite infact. I think Bush is just plain mishandling the country and Cheney is a heartless dimwit who shouldn't have been Bush's running mate to begin with. Even I, a Republican, have come to hate what this administration stands for.

- Oh, leave Cheney alone. He was never elected for a fuzzy warm personality.

- From the page: "Dick Cheney has sunk to new lows, even for him.
Showing the utmost disdain for democracy, which has become his trademark, Cheney last week dismissed polls showing two thirds of Americans rejecting the Iraq War. He gave a one-word response: â€oeSo?”"
