I think he should consider it. It's a privilge to serve not a right, thats what seperates us from leftist. What is best for the country and the administration needs to be thought of. Cheney stepping down would only strengthen Republican chances in the future anyway.

That is pure nonsense. It's not a mere privilege for a Vice President to serve - the Vice President was elected by the American public to serve as Vice President for four full years, absent death, incapacitation, poor health or impeachment. He's done nothing illegal or impeachable here. Not being proactive with the egomaniacal White House Press Corps might not be smart politics. But it sure isn't a crime.

Vice President Cheney isn't resigning any time soon. Nor should he.

I don't think people have even considered that he hasn't had time to waste on the Washington Press Idiot Corps, because he's been over in Congress saving the NSA program . . . to save the sorry posteriors of said reporters (along with the rest of D.C.)

That is a very good way to put it. These people are our version of a mini Al Qaeda. "You better do things the way we want you to do them or we will throw a big, fat hissy fit and do everything we can think of to damage you. In fact, we just plain don't like you, so we will do everything we can think of to damage you anyway." Cheney knew this was coming, and he just decided to do things in the right way, in accordance with his own lights.
