Former Vice President Dick Cheney of  “shooting his attorney and Halliburton” fame has loudly criticized the current nominees to the Presidents cabinet. This was done at a Republican gathering in Wyoming. It is certainly easy to point fingers when one feels that their hands are clean. This is a person who is apparently  more anti-American than some of our Asian allies. His dealings as CEO of a company that gouged the government during the WMD search and subsequent war in Iraq which cost billions in money and untold numbers of American lives to no good end needs to be held up for scrutiny as the self serving idiot he is. It is under stood that he absented himself from the actions of Halliburton but the company should never have gotten a government contract at all. Now the ( I consider) neer do well ex vice president will receive the gift of secret service protection for the next few years at our expense. How much more will he gouge the voters for? We have a vapid Congress that has through several Presidents done as little as possible until their hand was forced. Now that the current President has pushed the envelope the seat fillers have become outraged. As voters the outrage should be ours. There will never be a law creating term limits but the voters can set those limits by merely voting against the current members. We do not need a party or parties to tell us who to vote for, we do not need special interests to give us an opinion or validate our opinions, we just need to exercise our voting rights according to our own common sense and desires. As citizens of one of the Free countries in the world we have the ability to change the government from the outside of politics by merely voting ineffective officials out of office. This action should have nothing to do with Race or  Religion,  just what is best for all of us. Remember a political ad is just that -an ad- and like all ads is designed to sell you something.
