Cheney represents capitalism to them, and they have been taught that capitalism is evil (represented by Haliburton). In their carefully manipulated education socialism and eventually communism is good, capitalism bad. I know I sound paranoid, but I have people in my family in the field of education and I know whereof I speak. It's been going on for years.
Of course....but it's selective. The leftist's think Big Ketchup is fine....But Big Oil is Satan's spawn.
The Leftist's think Jon Corzine's money is golden...but Dick Cheney's is tainted
The Leftist's think Apple Computer is wonderful....but Cypress Semiconductor is evil.
I could go on...and on, and on....but you get the picture.
