Which means that almost 80% DIDN'T think he was the worst vice president ever. Why the slant, Communist News Network?

Journalism is and has been dead for some time. When will people wake up?

I think that 16% believe that Elvis is alive, and we faked the moon landing.

Cheney has been the most invisible Veep of my lifetime, and it’s not a short one at this point. No one knows what he does, did, or how he guided Bush, or just what his role is. They can only surmise. He had virtually NO public persona for eight years.

Ask any of these idiots why they say that and they will only give you a blank stare.

a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey

Another left-wing push poll organization wearing the mask of objectivity just long enough to confuse the gullible.

1. Lamestream Media in the tank for Obama throughout the election.

2. O REFUSES to do the easiest thing in the world: release his vault copy of his birth certificate, thus proving he is eligable for the office of the Presidency.

3. Despite the overwhelming lack of public support for a nearly $1 trillion bailout, Congress passes it, and passes on the debt to YOU.

4. Despite Congress shooting it down, W offers a $17 billion handout to the auto industry.

AND NOONE IS PISSED OFF? Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves right now. AMERICA & the Constitution are DEAD. When will we do something about this?

Well, there is more evidence that Elvis is alive than there is Cheney was a bad VP. In reality, he was outstanding.

The one on the left looks a little like William Peterson from CSI: Vegas.

Exactly. Given the knowledge of American history among most people, there are not many vps for most people to compare him to.

That one is Elvis for sure. The other was an extra for the 1990s movie Home Alone. Had Elvis’s mannerisms and everything. Fun You Tube Video to watch :)

Can anyone else note the difference between these two potential poll questions?

1. "Who is the worst vice-president in history?"

2. "Do you agree that Dick Cheney is the worst vice-president in history?"

Hmmm. I wonder which of the two was asked?

Would be interesting to see a poll of how many could name the current Vice President... or any former VP for that matter.

Because they’d rather quote the idiots who know Juliet Sierra about what makes a tremendous second in command.

Talk about a leading question. The corrupt media continues to make Used CAr Salesmen look good.

Cheney...was a major proponent of using and expanding executive powers.

This is so typical of the drive-bye BS...1) If Executive has legal powers, what is wrong with using them? 2) What powers were expanded? Or could be without Congressional approval?

They just throw this junk out there without one example. Let's compare the number of EO's and pardons from previous President's to Bush 43's number...haven't done research but I will. If someone already has, please post.
