Tricky Dick in Topeka

By tfk on October 12, 2006.

I didn't have $1,000 to blow on getting a photo with Dick Cheney, so you'll have to conjure up his image in your mind as he told Jim Ryun's donors to "return Republicans to Congress in order to keep tax cuts on the books and U.S. forces in Iraq."

Is there anyone who really looks forward to keeping troops in Iraq? Honestly?

Right now, half the country thinks Democrats would do a better job with Iraq, while only a third think Republicans can handle it. And only 20% have a favorable opinion of Cheney. For someone in that situation to ask us to trust him is a bit much. He is correct, however, that "It’s going to matter a great deal which party has the majority on the floor and the gavel in committees."

Help put the country on the right track. Support Nancy Boyda.
