or perhaps he is just sharing his opinion...
Why did his opinion do an about-face once his daughter decided to run for Senate and needed Tea Party support in Wyoming? If Cheney was a fiscal conservative from the get-go, he kept awfully quiet about it during the Bush years.
The bottom line is that the guy is a crony hack and an opportunist, nothing more. However, judging from your handle, you're still too infatuated with the Bush administration to see either Cheney or GWB for the crypto-liberals that they were/are.
