1 ***** Cheney: You requested and received 5 Vietnam deferments.

Nobody

believes you've suddenly gained a great deal of respect for the

troops

- you refused to serve with the "troops" 5 times.

Does this hold for every other US President and Vice President who
managed to avoid service?

When did military service become an important factor in the past
of a President or VP? It certainly wasn't of any consequence in

administrations.

How many were making billions off a "War"?

Where's proof that Bush OR Cheney is making anything (much less
"billions")
off of this war?

Let's see some solid proof, instead of the same old silly-assed
accusations
by hysterical kooks. Are you up to it?

Shut up, *****.

Lautenberg Releases CRS Report that Confirms that Cheney Deferred Salary

Stock Options Constitute a "Financial Interest in Halliburton"
=============================

That's the best you can do?

Of course he's receiving a deferred salary - he already EARNED it, and is
deferring it for tax purposes (totally legal, ethical, and openly

before he even took office, BTW). From Lautenberg's own release:
"Halliburton paid "deferred salary" to Vice President Cheney in his first
two years in office and is scheduled to make similar payments to him in
2003, 2004 and 2005. Deferred salary is not a retirement benefit or a
payment from a third party escrow account, but rather an ongoing corporate
obligation paid from company funds."

Regarding his "stock options", those have been placed in a trust with the
money going to charity. Once more, reading from Lautenberg's own press
release: "The Vice President has signed an agreement to donate any profits
from these stock options to charity, and has pledged not to take any tax
deduction for the donations." Again, totally legal, ethical, and openly
disclosed before he even took office.

So where are those "billions" he has been making? And what if anything has
he done illegal? You're clearly a dupe of Lautenberg, who knows a
sensationalist press release such as his will convince the brain-dead
retarded goo-goos that comprise the bulk of rank-and-file Democraps willl
take this and make wild extrapolations out of it.

Care to try one more time? Or would you like to quit before you make an

bigger ***** of yourself?
