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.
