Let me start (in an attempt to avert any bashing that I know will come by what I have to say) by saying that I come from a Republican family, in a historically Republican state, North Carolina. Okay here it is, Dick Cheney is a scumbag. If you think otherwise you show a complete and utter inability to think for yourself.
Make no mistake about it, Cheney and his cronies at Halliburton have become rich at the expense of brave young American soldiers and patriots due to the conflict in Iraq. The no bid contracts offered to Halliburton, by the urging of Cheney, was and still is, a gross misallocation of funds (tax payers dollars).
As a taxpayer, I as well as you, should be irrate. It is estimated that Halliburton has recieved over 16 billion dollars in revenue for its actions in Iraq, 16 BILLION DOLLARS. I know that I personally could spend 16 billion dollars more wisely.
The American people, devout Republicans the most, have been duped by this administration. In this era of misinformation it is important that you seek that truth, filter out the bullshit, and get to the root of the issues. Has this administration stretched its use of its executive powers beyond the boundaries of what would normally be acceptable, no doubt about it.
The sad fact is that most Americans don’t mind, care, and/or know enough to offer an opinion on the matter. Unfortunately, the current political arena is dominated by the dumbass Dems and the retard Repubs. Surely, I will rattle some cages when I say that we need a third party to, in essence, slap some sense into these politicos. Return America back to what the founding fathers intended. Vote LIBERTARIAN.

I think you might have something here. But you lack one very important thing to back up all of your assertions: PROOF!
