That's like asking "What's a better disease, Leukemia or Hodgkin's Lymphoma?"

Somewhere I hear a maniacal laugh! Muah ha ha ha! \n\nWith that permanent sneer on the Dick's lips he seems like just the character to shoot a buddy while hunting Quayle! Ooops! I mean Quail. Not Dan Quayle?  \n\nFine, what kind of arrogant elite goes Quail Hunting with his 78 Year-old millionaire lawyer pal while he sends YOUR Husbands, Brothers and Sons halfway across the globe to Die in an illegal war? He speaks for the Multinational Corporate Bottom Lines; his Oil & Power Addiction. \n\nAnd what kind of Faulty Intelligence did the Vice President have when he pulled the trigger? What kind of Half-Baked Soldiers are at the top of the organization?

Dick Cheney, but then he would have another heart-attack and die so I guess it would be a TKO.

No. The Pres is always in full communication with his staff and it doesn't matter where he is. The VP does not take over for him unless he is incapacitated. Thank God. Would you want Cheney in charge for 5 minutes? Bush is bad enough.

None, Frankin is 100 times smarter than Bu$h and Cheney added. Bu$h has a IQ of about 80. Clintons was 180. Al Frankin is far above most. He's worth about $100 million.\nBu$h and Cheney were both invited to go Quail hunting with David Letterman. Cheney said yes, Bu$h declined and said " I am not that stupid".

Off course Dick Cheney would. Bush has done nothing for this country other than making his buddys rich. Bush is empty brain monkey.

Bush is STUPID, but Cheney is HATED by more people, and this would make it easier for the Dems to win more seats in Nov.

Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. (born July 14, 1913) was the 40th (1973–1974) Vice President and the 38th (1974–1977) President of the United States. He was the nation's first President who was elected to neither the Presidency nor Vice Presidency. Instead, following the resignation of Spiro Agnew in 1973, he was appointed as Vice President by Richard Nixon following confirmation by Congress, and when Nixon later resigned, on August 9, 1974, Ford assumed the Presidency. Along with his own Vice President, Nelson Rockefeller, he is one of only two people to have been appointed Vice President rather than elected.

The Republican candidate in 2008 will have to distance themself as far from Bush as possible to have even a prayer at winning.  Being Bush's vice president will hurt them, not help them.  As for Cheney, he will be vice president until he dies, or until the term ends, whichever comes first.  He is the most powerful person on the planet, and he loves the job too much to give it up.

No.  Cheney is Palpatine.  Bush is more like Jar-Jar, but he speaks less English than Jar-Jar.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT CHENEY!!!!  The success of Bush Vice Presidential running mate Richard Cheney at leading Halliburton, Inc. to a five year $3.8 billion "pig-out" on federal contracts and taxpayer-insured loans is only a partial indicator of what may happen if the Bush ticket wins in two weeks. A closer look at available research, including an August 2, 2000 report by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI) at www.public-i.org, suggests that drug money has played a role in the successes achieved by Halliburton under Cheney's tenure as CEO from 1995 to 2000. This is especially true for Halliburton's most famous subsidiary, heavy construction and oil giant, Brown and Root. A deeper look into history reveals that Brown and Root's past as well as the past of Dick Cheney himself, connect to the international drug trade on more than one occasion and in more than one way.\nThis June the lead Washington, D.C. attorney for a major Russian oil company connected in law enforcement reports to heroin smuggling and also a beneficiary of US backed loans to pay for Brown and Root contracts in Russia, held a $2.2 million fund raiser to fill the already bulging coffers of presidential candidate George W. Bush. This is not the first time that Brown and Root has been connected to drugs and the fact is that this "poster child" of American industry may also be a key player in Wall Street's efforts to maintain domination of the half trillion dollar a year global drug trade and its profits. And Dick Cheney, who has also come closer to drugs than most suspect, and who is also Halliburton's largest individual shareholder ($45.5 million), has a vested interest in seeing to it that Brown and Root's successes continue.

I was going to say that Traitor may be too strong of a word for this however, after thinking about it Ive changed my mind.  As a former Vice President one would hope he would have had a little more respect for America, the administration and our armed services.  In times of war the last thing we need is a former VP giving the enemy ammo to use against us or fanning the fire.  This could lead to added hostility and attacks on US troops.  If that is the case we have Al Gore to blame.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- "Dick Cheney was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Wyoming. In 1989, he left to become President Bush's Secretary of Defense. During his time in the House, his record was not only pro-gun, it was extremely pro-gun. He was one of only four members to vote against the ban on plastic guns, and one of only 21 members to vote against the ban on cop-killer bullets. Here is a quick look at his record: \n\n"On December 17, 1985, the House voted to ban cop killer bullets, HR 3132, 'The Law Officers Protection Act.' It passed 400-21. Cheney was one of the 21 to oppose the legislation. \n\n"In 1986, Cheney cast a series of votes on the McClure/Volkmer Firearms Owners Protection Act and its amendments. McClure/Volkmer was an effort to gut the Gun Control Act of 1968, and to prevent the ATF from effectively investigating rogue gun dealers and traffickers. Cheney voted against all HCI positions on McClure/Volkmer and its amendments, and voted for final passage of McClure/Volkmer on April 10, 1986. The measure passed by a margin of 292-130. He voted against an amendment (Transportation amendment, 4/9/86) that would have allowed localities to regulate the transportation of handguns within their jurisdiction; and he voted against an amendment (Sales, 4/9/86) that would maintain current law prohibiting the interstate sale of handguns. \n\n"On May 10, 1988, the House voted on HR 4445, 'The Terrorist Firearms Detection Act.' It passed 413-4. This legislation banned the production, importation, sale or delivery of non-detectable firearms made mostly of plastic. Cheney was one of the four votes against this measure. President Reagan signed this bill into law on November 10, 1988. \n\n"On September 15, 1988, the House voted on an amendment by Rep. McCollum to strip the national seven-day waiting period for handgun purchases from the Omnibus Drug Initiative Act of 1988 (HR 5210). Cheney voted for the amendment, which was essentially a vote against an early version of the Brady Bill. It would take five more years, and hundreds of lives lost needlessly, for Congress and a new president to pass the Brady Bill. \n\n"Clearly, the NRA had signoff on Governor Bush's choice of a running mate; there is no other way to account for the choice of one of the most extreme pro-gun legislators of the last twenty years. The NRA has already promised its members that, if Governor Bush is elected, they will be able to 'work right out of [his] office.' Certainly, if they get there, they'll find Vice-President Cheney welcoming them with open arms."

Frontline did a fabulous piece on the "Dark Side" of Dick Cheney last week and it fully supports what you are saying.  This "war" had been on the minds of the current regime for a long, long time.
