Thanks for the good reply.
That sure beats sarcasm and useless posts, so I thank you very much for good input.
Dick Cheney said his role is an "Advisor" and does not run things. There are a couple things we can asssume: 1] Dick Cheney has been advising George Bush to back off the push in social spending, etc. or 2] Cheney has changed and is now a leftist, not a conservative.
My bet (just a guess) is that Cheney has not changed, and is as conservative as ever, but Bush has not taken the advice of Dick Cheney but has taken the adivce of others who pushed for a more leftist agenda.
The FACTS remain: Cheney was a great conservative, but the Bush/Cheney Admin did go hard left.
Neither of us, snugs, don't like hearing that the admin went left, but we can't honestly dispute facts, and the facts from the OMB prove that.
Perhaps some day, some book will emmerge that will take us inside the White House and let us know if Cheney changed or if Cheney's conservative advice was overridden, or if Bush just flat out ignored it.
Thanks a lot for contributing, even if we do not agree. This question, really, is not an agree or disagree situation as much as it is just opinion on Cheney and his role and ideology stability. Thanks again.
If you want others to respond to you seriously and without sarcasm, perhaps you should avoid stating your skewed opinions as 'facts.'
It creates a more honest environment for serious dialogue.
The things you post rarely do.
