American politicians are getting more cuddly.....

Yep, Dick Cheney, Bush's running mate for the election, voted against a resolution supporting the release of Nelson Mandela from jail in 1985.

And against the Hate Crimes Statistics Act. Ironically, one of his daughters, Mary, is a lesbian. Must make for some interesting dinner table chat

there were "cop killing" bullets on the market in the us in the 80s. even the NRA were against these fellows. when it came before the house, cheney voted for them not to be banned.

he took care of the political side of the gulf war, you know, that "war" where they protected kuwait's oil reserves. then 6 months after the war, gosh golly what a shocking surpirse, his oil company gets all the contracts to re-build the kuwaiti oil fields. that was a fairly cushy and profitable number. he now takes home between 1.7 and 6 million dollars a year as ceo of the company. convinient that, isn't it. and a good side thing to do as vp?

crazy republicans would dance around burning homeless people if they had the chance. whilst wearing golden bowler hats too.
vote al gore!
even better, vote RALPH NADER!

Turns out now that Dick Cheney is also Chief Executive of Halliburtons, a company that makes millions servicing oil platforms in Burma - one of the most brutal and repressive regimes on Earth.
