"In Minneapolis last weekend, the true believers pronounced themselves satisfied. "He's an honest fellow who's got a brain," said Howard Stenzel, a retired chief financial officer from suburban Cottage Grove, "and he's not a lawyer. That's important."

This comment and summation says it all. Neither Cheney or Bush are lawyers. This fact should be trumpeted from the highest rooftops. In the mind of the average American, this fact alone merits voting for the Bush-Cheney ticket.

I hope that Cheney gets on Larry King or 60 Minutes and states that he will not resort to using age and experience against Edwards in the upcoming campaign. hohoho

In memory of the late President Ronald Reagan.

The Democrats understand Cheney is going to take Edwards apart, just as he did Lieberman in 2000.

I can't wait to watch it.

[cweese]

I think Dick Cheney is the smartest official in the Bush admin, followed by a close second, Condi.

[jrp]

For the most part, however, Cheney delivers these crowd-pleasing broadsides with the passion of a stalactite.

I'll take substance over style any day.

"He's an honest fellow who's got a brain,".... and he's not a lawyer

What more could one ask for?

[Kerberos]

I would much rather see Cheney at the top of the ticket. However I don't understand how the faithful as so enamored with him, as I have never heard him promoting the America as a Christian Nation myth.

And my God man, he's got a gay daughter!

This was an encouraging article. It's great to see after so much bad press.

I can't help but draw the comparison as the Dems (many of whose precursors supported a maniacal dictator in the 30s; conveniently forgotten after 1941) vilify Cheney as oil for blood for Iraq just for the sake of inventing a bad guy from an innocent. Same thing was done by said unnamed maniacal dictator who selected a different set of innocents.

Besides, it is pure BS. I have heard him speak several times and it is riveting. You can hear a pin drop. We saw that on display at Reagan's funeral. The Leftist want a "movie star" style delivery and this is mostly because they confuse sentimentality with sentiment.

Boy, are they in for a surprise.

Isn't that child abuse?

Edwards - half the Congressional experience of Dan Quayle with none of Quayle's gravitas.

[texasflower]

Your point?

[biblewonk]

I hate his energy policy.

Cheney called Mandela a terrorist... that makes him scum in my book.

Better brush up on your history: Mandela was a terrorist, and was, and still is, scum.

[vanmorrison]

"Cheney called Mandela a terrorist... that makes him scum in my book."

In my opinion, this proves that Cheney is a superb judge of character. Mandela is more than simply a terrorist; in fact, he's a communist, too!

And this also OUTS Omnibus as a closet Democrat, trolling the Freeper boards!

[Honcho Bongs]

"Cheney called Mandela a terrorist... that makes him scum in my book.

Cheney would be rooting for apartheid if it were still around."

Hey, it's a troll! Freshly registered today. Probably a girlie man from DU.

[Mister Baredog]

Goodby troll!!!!!!!!

[ericthecurdog]

Mandela's not a terrorist... just a criminal.

Listen Cheney is not responsible for what his daughter's sexual preferences are. His daughter is an adult and she made that choice herself. What do you want him to do disown his own daughter? He loves his daughter. And even though he doesn't approve of her lifestyle he has to deal with it - that is his own personal burdon NOT OURS! We simply cannot blame Cheney for what his daughter prefers.
