Exactly. I love when conservatives throw out the anti-military crap about Democrats/liberals. It's pretty easy to just throw the Cheney thing right back at them. On top of that, a few years ago I saw a comparison of Democrat and Republican members of Congress. The Democrats made the Republicans look like Boy Scouts.

I find it funny how Cheney is lamented as not being a true conservative. That seems to happen quite a bit: Conservatives distance themselves from failed conservative leaders.

"Oh, that Bush and Cheney....they weren't conservatives!!" (Were they liberal? Because they sure weren't moderates)
