The sources said Mr. Cheney would be persuaded to step down as he becomes an increasing political liability to President Bush.

Here is the MSM "action line" and it shows this is 100% BS!

Cheney isn't going anywhere.

The sources said Mr. Cheney would be persuaded to step down as he becomes an increasing political liability to President Bush.

The main political liabilities for President Bush are (and have been):
1) His own poor (= anti-conservative) decisions (which have been too plentiful).
2) Abysmally poor PR by the Bush Administration.
3) RINO and limp "Republican" politicians.

In his favor, Bush delivered on his campaign promises to bring forth a morally competent administration, tax reduction, a couple of seemingly great SCOTUS justices, and many other deliverables.

On balance, I would level my greatest criticism upon the reckless growth of federal (nonmilitary) spending, lack of border control, and extremely poor political PR.
