Since Cheney has relatively high unfavorables, it's assumed that the public dismisses his statements.It would be interesting to see the results of a more finely calibrated poll, one that compares how well-respected, competent, and effective the subject is perceived to be relative to similarly situated individuals. As a friend succinctly puts it, "When that big asteroid finally heads toward Earth, who's the person you'd most want to be in charge?" I suspect Cheney would score at or near the top.
So there you have the current position of the Republican Party. Polls and favorability -- meaningless liberal propaganda. Unless the question is "Would you approve of Dick Cheney flying into space and crushing an earth-bound asteroid with his ass cheeks?"
Perfectly sensible. The party of Michael Bay.
