He’s right but it doesn’t help our cause. Every poll shows most people dislike Cheney. I think we the base are the only ones who like him so it doesn’t help our electoral prospects one bit when he goes out there like this.

It will when Al Qaeda nukes San Fran.

It takes a bigger man to say what is the right thing to do then to worry about polls. History will vindicate both Bush and Cheney, I doubt the same case will be made for the chosen one. He will be a one term wonder (think Jimmy Carter) and if the polls turn against him, he will probably resign rather then face a humiliating defeat in an election. His massive ego will not allow him to accept defeat.

Every poll shows most people dislike CheneyThe polls are not valid. We don't know that "most people dislike Cheney". The pollsters can't reach us folks that like Cheney as we are too busy at productive work to answer polls, to answer the telephone.

Yeah, we definitely don't want people like Dick Cheney out there telling the truth if it's going to be unpopular...next thing you know Conservative politicians everywhere will be out there telling the truth and the press really won't like that.

The day we become afraid to tell the truth, is the day this nation is finished. I've had enough mealy mouthed "wanna-get-along" Republicans speaking and voting on things the way they think the polls tell them people want them to...time for Conservatives to develop a little backbone.
