" Cheney should move to Maryland. He can bamboozle those people there , folks here , other than the usual gobblers , are through with his actions. "

" Hopefully they make Maryland there permanent home. Teton County residents don't appreciate the Cheneys, they should buy a home in Casper where someone might actually like them "

" Gee, ya think maybe the Scouts will create a new merit badge about water-boarding in Cheney's honor?
I don't get it -- this guy is reviled across the natio and the world, but he comes back to Wyoming and all is forgiven. "

" The only high point of this story is that richard Cheney will no longer be messing up this country after Jan. 20. "

" My child's experience in Boy Scouting is pretty much the antithesis of Richard Cheney's example of a human being. Can the leaders of Scouting really look themselves in the mirror and believe that Mr. Cheney exemplifies the basic tenets of scouting?? This is their pledge: On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
These are the scouting laws:
TRUSTWORTHY
A Scout tells the truth. He keeps his promises. Honesty is part of his code of conduct. People can depend on him.
LOYAL
A Scout is true to his family, Scout leaders, friends, school, and nation.
HELPFUL
A Scout is concerned about other people. He does things willingly for others without pay or reward.
FRIENDLY
A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts. He seeks to understand others. He respects those with ideas and customs other than his own.
COURTEOUS
A Scout is polite to everyone regardless of age or position. He knows good manners make it easier for people to get along together.
KIND
A Scout understands there is strength in being gentle. He treats others as he wants to be treated. He does not hurt or kill harmless things without reason.
OBEDIENT
A Scout follows the rules of his family, school, and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country. If he thinks these rules and laws are unfair, he tries to have them changed in an orderly manner rather than disobey them.
CHEERFUL
A Scout looks for the bright side of things. He cheerfully does tasks that come his way. He tries to make others happy.
THRIFTY
A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. He saves for unforeseen needs. He protects and conserves natural resources. He carefully uses time and property.
BRAVE
A Scout can face danger even if he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at or threaten him.
CLEAN
A Scout keeps his body and mind fit and clean. He goes around with those who believe in living by these same ideals. He helps keep his home and community clean.
REVERENT
A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others.

If Boy Scout officials are going to put Cheney up as an example for my son, he will be leaving scouting with great disappointment on his part and mine.

And by the way...what the heck is he raising millions for now? His career in politics is over. "

" dont let the door hit u in the arss! "

" Good, good, very good riddance!!! Y'all don come back ya heah?! "

" I'm shocked, I didn't get an invite.

I think the real reason he is leaving so fast is he fears an arrest warrant my follow Obama's "I do". "

" Hopefully, in a box! Feet first! "

" It is fitting that Mr. Cheney depart Washington D.C. as promptly as possible following the inauguration of this new president; a man who came to office legally and with overwhelming support of a nation seeking moral relief after 8 years of exclusion from constitutional governance. It is not fiitting that a man like Mr. Cheney be received by or honored by, or indeed be in the company of the Boy Scouts of America; at least until the multitude of indictments against him have been cleared or satisfied. His name is synonomous with felony and scam and is anathema to any community seeking decent life within a constitutional environment. By boycotting his presence, Wyoming would clear its name of any complicity in that vile era that is coming to an end "

" you can keep him!! "

" it's appalling that people support Cheney after what he and Bush have done to our country. I really believe he should be tried for war crimes and should spend the rest of his life in jail. He is Nixon's boy and actually makes Nixon look like a saint in comparison to the damage he has done to our military, the carnage he has caused and now the economic disaster sowed by the neocons. "

" Hope he doesn't kick off before he gets to experience a nice extended stay in Federal prison. "

" Prepare Cheney's cell at The Hague. "

" He wants to get out of dodge in case there are any attorney's general that have the cajones to arrest him for war crimes. The people in Wyoming can have them. He has done enough damage to this country. Good riddance. "

" He's also almost certainly a war criminal who fought hard to install a policy of torture (hidden under Orwellian euphemisms), something no US administration has ever done before. "

" Shut up you whinning cry babies!!! Before I stick a bottle in you mouth to shut you up.Nothing like a bunch of Wyoming goat roapers whinning and crying cuss they can't find their sheep they lost. Thats why there are no sheep in Wyoming because the goat roapers scared them all out of the state. Do you all work for the police because your whinning sure sounds like a siren going off. "

" It is hilarious that Teton County gets to have him as their community neighbor. I love the irony! "

" "If you want to meet and greet and rub elbows with the Cheneys, it's going to be $15,000," McBride said.

Good gawd, I'd rather spend the $15,000 on a root canal. Good riddance & may you love living in Maryland. "

" After 25 years as Scoutmaster I am appalled that any Scouter would consider Cheney for such recognition. We do live in uncertain times! "

" Everyone here -- you all obviously were able to stand in Cheney's shoes? And, Bush and Cheney had a lot of senators and congressmen working with them, don't forget how this country is run. Maybe, we've been electing bad candidates, have you even thought of that? Cast no stones, folks. The dude from Jackson can't even use proper English. I'm waiting for the "change and the hope" promised by the next administration. We'll see. . . . . "

" Hey, how about us Marylander's? Freak shows Cheney & Rumsfeld bought property on our Eastern Shore. Rummy's home is called Mount Misery, notorious for being a slave breaking plantation, from which Frederick Douglas escaped. Cheney is cool, he just kills off all of our wildfowl and an occasional lawyer. "

" I think he will be making preparations to flee the country--Paraguay is lovely this time of year as I understand it. The BushCo compound will be in the final stages of completion, no doubt thanks to millions of tax dollars that have been funnelled away during their tenure. "

" He is collecting money to buy an Illinois senetor seat. Oh never mind that would be the corrupt Neolib Demon crats that pay for the seats. "

" I am very happy to see Dicky , and Lynn come visit their local counterparts . Maybe they can add Dicky to that bronze monument on the edge of town that depicts the great oil men as steroid using body builders . That would be a great addition to caspers history of the rich getting richer , and the poor staying that way . "

" Thank you Mr. Cheney for your service to our country especially during our time of war. May the hate America croud appreciate more thier freedom of speech because of your leadership in these difficult times. "

" All I have to say is "Welcome home Mr. Vice President". Oh yeah and whats a neocon? "

" It will be great to have you back Vice President Cheney you are always welcome in your home state and in my house in spite of the dolts on the left writing in this blog. "

" How nice of our VP to only charge $15,000.00 to talk to him. When you consider what a failure he was for the last 8 years, I'm shocked he doesn't have to bribe people to talk to him. I'm sure plenty of "common folks" will pay that huge amount of money to visit with Mr. Cheney. There's a fool born every minute. "

" We are thrilled to have the Cheney's back in Wyoming! "

" "If you want to meet and greet and rub elbows with the Cheneys, it's going to be $15,000," McBride said.

That's disgusting. "

" i am thankful for the service of Vice President Cheney and admire his Wyoming values. I am not looking forward to having the radical inexperienced euroweenie Hussein who hails from the corrupt Chicago political machine, who is already trying to keep clear of the corruption he has been associated with for the last twenty years!! "

" It's pretty embarassing that Wyoming is the state willing and eager to celebrate and honor this criminal's atrocities. If there was any real justice in this country he'd be tried for crimes against the American people. A despicable, delusional "leader". "

" How stupid are people in Wyoming? People should be ashamed of Cheney. "

" Oil men on steroids?? Brazelton it just show how ignorant you are. Those who work in the oil field use their arms. It is back breaking work. Sun up to sundown, in weather I'm sure you have never had to tolerate. Don't forget that our country is not ran by just two men. The last two yrs. Dems have had control and they also told Americans that Fannie and Freddie were solid. When they were putting pressure on banks to fund loans to those who could not afford it. Oh and why you are throwing stones, why don't we have a conversation about A.C.O.R.N. and the Governor of Illinois (a Democrat) and Nancy P. flying in a private jet with taxpayers money. The list could go on and on. Until you have had someone murdered by a terrorist, you have on idea what terror really is. I am grateful to V.P. Cheney and his family for serving America and I will pray for the new President and Vice President of our Country, and hope they will do what is best for America. It is really sad any parent would make their child quit Scouting because of an award giving to someone who served America for eight yrs. I was born and raised in Oregon, but I am proud to be living in the State of Wyoming. Those who live in glass house's...... "

" Gee, the compassion of the libs. You actually want Cheney to die, Bad Dude?
What crime has he committed that would cuase such hatred? Bush and Cheney have kept us safe for 8 years. We will see how long it will be before we are attacked on Nobama's watch. It will be fun to see if he has the guts to go after the culprits or to try to reason with the terrorists. After all, don't we know that everything bad happens to America is America's fault?

You liberals are disgusting. "

" Thank you Mr. Cheney for all the years of service to your state and to your country. You are an example and inspiration to myself and countless others.
P.S. I'd hunt birds with you anyday. "

" Remember how some Indian tribes would strip a mountain man of his clothes and make him run for his life while the warriors chased him down. Wouldn't that be fitting for Deadeye Dicky. "

" Cheney will be back home in Texas at the Haliburton office within months. He quit being from Wyoming a long time ago. He will come back just long enough to visit his friends and family then will be right back in Texas where he now belongs. Good riddens! He is an embarrassment to our state. "

" I'll bet what he really wants to do is visit with a few real Wyoming hunters. They seem to know how to wash blood off their hands. Big Dicky will never be able to scrub that stain away, though. "

" Too bad you adults can't read to well. The Vice President is supporting the Boy Scouts of America at this dinner and the cost of meeting with him will be in the Boy Scouts funding system.

Lead on Mr. Cheney and thank you for all you have done for our country. "

" Once there was a Veep,
who had a horrific stink,
terrible aim too. "

" Dear Mike in Virginia,
May I remind you that 9/11 happened on the Bush/Cheney watch?
They took us to war in Iraq on cherry-picked intel, then justified torture which mobilized the Arab street against us and resulted in thousands of soldiers getting killed. They shredded the Constitution in an executive power grab, outed Palme for spite, doubled the national debt and we're supposed to honor Cheney's service? Service to what? "

" How soon Wyomingites forget. Cheney "worked" for Haliburton in TEXAS for a coupla years (home of GeoW, recall) and Halicorp gave him 25 MILLION to become VP. Now everyone's lambasting the NY bankers who routinely give themselves mega millions. Of course, Cheney gave Haliburton Irac or Irac to Haliburton. Your tax dollars, too. I vote jailtime and WG&F should cancel his hunting privledges. He has bad aim. Remember? Remember?! "

" Did someone say Maryland? I figured he be headed back to Texas and a cushey job with his old buddies. "

" That is most definitely not Haiku and does a good job at butchering a respectful form of poetry. Haiku does not rhyme, the number of syllables is off, and the list could go on. So tell me Haiku poet how will you be able to carry out genre renga with your so called work of art. "

" Thank you Mr. Cheney for your sevice to our country. By the way have we been hit by the terrorists lately the libs have controlled congress wares the critisium of them "

" Cheney is not the embarrassment to Wyoming, what is embarrassing are the outlandish and uneducated posts to this article. Please educate yourselves about the political positions Cheney has held and the good he has done for Wyoming and our Country...then a wise and GOOD discussion can be had. "

" Mr. Hello . You must stop your car, and go over to that monument and measure those biceps and compare the size to real humans . Hank True never had 20 inch arms , nor did any McMurrys . While over there , measure their wallets. You will find that they are also on steroids. I was a chain hand for years on the wyoming rig circuit in sub freezing cold , and blistering heat . The rigs were drug , and alcohol havens infected with addicts in the 80s , and 90s . I lost a finger to one of those idiots . The boy scouts need to get away from having a socialist as an Icon to look up to. Self serving treasonous leaders such as these send the wrong message to young people trying to find their way . He needs to go back to texas . Maybe he could become governor there , and lay on a couch waiting to execute people like bush did . "

" how can WY celebrate a man who will go down as the worse VP in modern times? "

" I'd be embarassed to be associated with any organization that used Cheney's presence as a fundraising opportunity. Sad to see that the scouts are honoring the kind of "leadership" that directly led to the death of thousands of American soldiers and Iraqi citizens. "

" I think he should go back to Nebraska, respectivley where he was born. Wyoming don't harbor war criminals. "

" Welcome home Mr. Vice President and Mrs. Cheney!

Your long and faithful service to Wyoming and the Nation are to be applauded and congratulated.

We are thankful for your service and patriotism! "

" All you Obama - Binladin Kool-Aid drinking idiots settle down before we tell you to go back to your home towns. By the way are there any Wyomingites left in Teton County? I think if it were put to a vote most of Wyoming would give Jackson to CA, PA, NY, etc. Then all the people there could feel at home. "

" Home, you are rude. Your partisan attacks are un called for. How do you equate Obama with Binladin? You have been listening to way too much Rush Limbaugh. Cheney has been the worst vice-president under the worst president in history. Obama doesn't have a very high bar to clear to do better than these idiots did. I'm sure you are one of the idiots who voted for these idiots who have screwed up everything they touched for eight years. I am a Wyomingite, but one who is smart enough to see how destructive the republican party in general and Bush and Cheney specifically have been to this country. If you are too blinded by their propoganda to see it then you obviously either have no ability to think for yourself, don't care about your country, or are as destructive, hateful, and greedy as they are. You should move to Texas with them. "

" im so glad that people like platte patriot and home are slowly becoming the "old" wyoming...

no more of the good ole boy mentality.

cheney BLOWS! (literally i might add)

the world will be a safer place with him gone. "

" Boy, those suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome are out today. The major media and the Dems sure succeeded in demonizing Bush and The Most Famous Person Ever From Wyoming. "

" Dear OK, your comment is much more filled with hate and partisan attacks than anything in Home's comment. So, why would you slam someone and then turn around and do it yourself to a greater extent?

I certainly will not look to you for an example of compassion and caring.

Oh, and I guess time will tell who are the ones "blinded by propoganda" (sic) once we start seeing the real Obama and the harmful effects of his adminstration. Oh, wait, what am I thinking? We will never know, will we, because the left-leaning media will probably never report the truth when it comes to "the Messiah", if the truth would tarnish his image. "

" Yes, I am very hateful toward people who equate patriotic Americans with a terrorist like Bin Ladin just because he is not from their power hungry political party based on paranoid delusions and hateful retoric from the far right wing nuts. Obama hasn't even taken office yet and you are all so sure that it will be the end of the world. Have you noticed how badly Bush and the republicans have screwed up the country over the last eight years? I don't see how Obama could do too much worse. "

" Ya know from reading this, it's a darn good thing Wyoming only has two electoral votes "

" Welcome home and thank you for your service! We look forward to seeing you, and hope that you get some well deserved rest! "

" Dear OK, believe me, this is not the worst it can get...look at Cuba, Russia, China....

Our country is not as screwed up as the media would have you believe and the democrats had a big hand in making the mess we are in now. Remember, in 2006 when the Republicans sounded the alarm over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac it was the democrats who were saying Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were doing a fine job. (If you want the youtube site so you can see this all for yourself, just let me know.) This financial mess could all have been avoided if the democrats would have listened. Yes, the Republicans should have pushed harder to fix the problem in 2006, but the democrats are far from blameless!!!! Remember all the democrats who voted for the war in Iraq, too.

And yes, Obama could do much, much worse! I pray that he won't.

Again, you can't kill hate with hate..... You are no better than those you are criticizing, so until you are willing to rise above it all, you should not say anything at all. "

" I couldn’t help but notice you’re talking about McCain again when you speak of Patriotic Americans! Hussein Obama – Binladin couldn’t be further from the quote! I don’t hate the man I think he put on quite a marketing campaign, oh yea, I think that just about does it. I can’t think of anything else he’s done. Wait I guess he is good at saying “present!”

Obviously you don’t even know anything about the worst president being carter and yet you keep talking about President Bush. Time will tell. "

" Thank you for your life long service and welcome home! "

" Democrat appointees under Clinton are largely to blame for the housing debacle.

It really all started with FDR, a democrat.

It was accelerated under Carter, a democrat and went into over drive under Clinton, another democrat.

Forcing lenders to create loan products that they could give to people that cannot afford to buy a home is what derailed the US economy.

These are facts and no matter how you democrats try to spin this or rewrite history, these facts will stand and are a matter of public record.

Chew on that socialists while you sit unemployed in the dark, without heat and out of welfare benefits. "

" I used to like the guy. It's really sad what he did to the country. I'm with Alan Simpson: something changed in Cheney's head. "

" Cody and Whoa seem to understand what caused the financial crisis. Why are so many others blaming Bush? Sure he played a role, but not nearly as damaging as Clinton and Barney Frank. "

" Big Jake, What specifically did the VP do to this nation and how did he do it? Can you list the legislation that he authored or passed that made for negative impacts on America? Media hype and opposition party rhetoric do not equate to facts. I am proud of VP Cheney, his long service to the country and his contributions to freedom. I am also happy to see this selfless man come home for a visit. Trying thinking for yourself instead of letting the media make the decisions for you. "

" I think that everyone here can make their points, either positive or negative. I have read what a scum bag you all think that the vice president was. I believe that everyone is now made more aware of all of the illegal actions made by this presidency because of the ability of the news channels to infiltrate and provide more information to the public about what is happening in the white house today. I'll bet that if you went back through all the secret books, you will find things that were done by every president that initiated something that poored millions of tax dollars into something they were personally vested in and profitted from it. I am not saying this is right but it is just history. You say he doubled the national debt with Bush in the "War on Terror". Well let me tell you, if they hadn't done anything, we could be fighting this war right here. I awate the next administrations position on this matter. Where is the next act of terrorism going to take place. The Taliban has taken a strong hold and getting stronger in southern Afganistan. If none of you think that they don't still have silent groups of people working for their cause here in the states you are fairly ignorant. I think that they did the best at what they were given by the poor intelligence gathered mainly during the Clinton administration.
So my question is to you, DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT THIS WAR OVER THERE OR DO YOU WANT TO BRING IT HOME RIGHT HERE? I want to know how the liberal, left wing gun haters would feel then? I think the Man has done the best job that he could with what was placed in front of him. He saw it, he acted on it, and that is what we elected him to do. For those of you that voted for the other guy, you have all the right to complain, but I can almost guarantee you that some of you on this page are complaining and you did not even go to the poles. Remember it only took Clinton 4 years to take credit for and decimate everything that Reaganomics did for this country, so they did not actually start on a high note to begin with. I did not vote for Obama, but I wish him the best at turning this situation around. So as in ending this, I commend VP Chaney for everything he has done, and so be it if it were illegal, he will pay his dues. Oh and buy the way, to those Jackson folks, everyone knows that place has been an extention of California's rich and famous for 20+ years, so I kind of have to agree that your opinion or your multimillion dollar backed representitives (Trauner) don't count as evedenced again buy the election this year. "

" After viewing a rather clear explanation of the "powerless victim syndrome' on the News Hour, I come here and find numerous examples. If that behavior is contributing to the deterioration of the economy, it can't boost our political well-being.
Can't anyone around here oppose an idea or an act without leading with a personal attack and finishing by jumping to conclusions? The VP is deserving of criticism, but hardly such venom. "

" Welcome back VP Cheyenne and Family. You and President Bush have done a great job, kept us free from more attacks, more then most people really know.
The bad times we are now experiencing have been brought on by a do nothing Democratic House and Senate.
It is always easy to shift the blame, and if you Democrats quite doing so, maybe just maybe you could learn from these old Wyomingites to tell the truth, be respectful and not bad mouth our President and his Cabinet.
We did not vote for Obama, but he has our support, and we wont degrade him, you know why? because he is Our President now.
Are you not happy to live in this free and beautiful Country called, The United States of America, where you can say anything, like you have, about or elected officials "

" Why would Vice-Presidnet and Lynn Cheney want to move back to Wyoming to a bunch of ingrates such many of you? It is not the same state that they left. Now it is filing with left-coast idealogues who don't amount to a pimple on Cheney"s rear.

I would love to see any of you leftists to fill Cheney's shoes for even one day. You are neither smart enough nor brave enough to do anything more than whine like you have for the past 8 years. "

" Bull,

Do Wyoming and yourself a favor. Move to San Francisco where you will feel more at home with your left-coast values. "

" I have nothing against Democrats and have and will continue to vote for some of them. But all of you who continue to spew hate filled liberal garbage need to remember one thing. The reason we have it so good here is because a Republican Governer, Stanley Hathaway took a bullet for all of us and imposed the mineral severance tax on the energy business. I would bet some of your families are benefiting from his decision in the form of the Hathaway Program. And if you dont like living in a state with a healthy budge surplus that allows us to help virtually every Wyoming student go to college, or build new schools and infrastructure, I am sure some liberal mecca like California will be happy to take you, or take you back. "

" Dear High Road,
As a Wyoming congressman, Richard Cheney distinguished himself for .............what?
Those were the years when the GOP was in the minority in Congress and Cheney, like many others, reflexively voted "no" on just about anything. Did you know he voted to eliminate Headstart, that he voted to designate Nelson Mandela as a Communist?
Here's Cheney's legislative accomplishments:
96th Congress: 4 Sponsored; 0 became Law
97th Congress: 4 Sponsored: 0 became Law
98th Congress: 8 Sponsored: 0 became Law
99th Congress: 7 Sponsored: 1 became Law (H.R.1246 : A bill to establish a federally declared floodway for theColorado River below Davis Dam.)
100th Congress: 7 Sponsored: 1 became Law (H.R.712 : A bill for the relief of Lawrence K. Lunt.)
101st Congress: 1 Sponsored: 0 became Law .
Clearly, something to brag about. "

" Welcome home to Wyoming after your long and faithful service to the US.
I hope you can start hammering on the crooks that are taking over D.C. and the WH. Let the writers here explain their love for the Chicago mobster after he has served for a year. This is going to be fun. You can take a crook out of Chicago ,but you can't take Chicago out of the crook. "

" The financial meltdown was actually caused by a combination of greed and deregulation. The majority of the bad mortgages were by investors who took out these creative adjustable mortgages from the crooked lenders thinking they were going to flip them for a profit; then the housing market went to hell, housing values dropped, the mortgages ballooned to ridiculous interest rates and high payments, and the investors walked away. Giving away the treasury to the wealthiest of Americans while dramatically increasing the deficit (actually turning a surplus into a deficit) didn't help matters either. Sending our country into a war of choice based on a bunch of lies in order to promote the oil industry for Bush and Cheney's friends, fostering whole new generations of terrorists and running up $10 billion per month on our grandchildren's credit cards will ensure that the country will be paying for the Bush/Cheney mistakes for decades to come and was another huge factor in creating the current problems. Cheney was the driving force behind promoting this unjust war in Iraq and in pushing policies down to the troops which promoted criminal torture techniques which are against international law, not to mention ineffective (this making him a war criminal). I could go on and on about all the stuff Bush and Cheney have screwed up but I have to get back to work. If you like these morons, you can have them. I am very happy that they are finally going away and I will be glad if Cheney just stays in Texas with Bush where he belongs. "

" Inky - lets say for a moment that your right in what you wrote about VP Cheney's record. This would mean that VP Cheney has completed twice as much as Obama ever has and probably ever will. Not that I would believe a thing you write but each record stands for itself. "

" Mike in Virginia - There are plenty of us traditional Wyomingites around still. Granted, some of those commenting here might not make it seem that was, but trust me - I know a lot. And surprisingly I even met many during my time spent in Jackson. Still, outside of leaving the skiing, I wasn't too upset when I got to move back to the real Wyoming. But I agree, that it is sad to see those who just want to tear traditional Wyoming heritage and values down - they really need to leave, because a lot of us won't let them do it without a fight. "

" He is my vote for man of the decade. His service to the nation and to the state is highly admirable. He has alos shown strength and dignity while under the worst that the liberal left can throw at anyone. He is a great man and a great American. "

" Fred: Casper dose not want them either! Please don't send them to us! We have enough problems with Cubin!!

Mike: I guess you missed the part where Wyoming went RED 30 seconds after the polls closed in Nov. Trust me: Wyoming is not left wing. Never has been. Never will be. I would love for that to be the case. However I know it isn't going to happen. "

" The Vice President's support the Scouts is laudable and very welcome. His example of selfless service to the nation and our state is also exceptional and deserving of praise. Vice President Cheney is a leader that we youth can look up to and strive to emulate. "

" Inky and your point is???

Seems your messiah has a similar record on passing things???

Guess being from chicago makes it ok that he didn't do anything but collect money "

" ALL YOU LIBERALS DO IS WHINE, WOULD YOU LIKE CRACKERS WITH THAT???? AND FRED MOST OF US WYOMING RESIDENTS DESPISE YOU TETON RESIDENTS!!! WE ALL WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU GUYS PACK YOUR SUBARUES UP AND GO BACK TO THE LEFT COAST. "

" Hey, the REAL Jane Sixpack: I am proud of Vice President Cheney and Barbara Cubin, too. If you don't want them here in Casper, that's fine, but do not speak for anyone but yourself. "

" Thank you for your service , especially for prosecuting our enemies who had been training for so long to harm us under the previous administration. I have admired your service since I first met you at the World Forum years ago. I would be thrilled to hunt with you anytime! "

" It really amazes me how many people gulp down the BS manufactured by the librocons and spewed out by the liberal controlled media hook line and sinker. Are any of you people capable of indepent thought, analysis and conclusion? What a sad state this nation really is in. "

" Welcome home and well done citizen patriot! "

" Looking at Obama's charitable giving in since 2000 based on his tax returns, we find that Obama consistently refused to follow his own advice to ‘spread the wealth' when he had the opportunity to do so...When Barack and Michelle Obama could voluntarily give more
of their own income and had the means well beyond most Americans to do so, they refused." "

" In his life and career in Illinois, President-elect Barack Obama has crossed paths with some notable figures who have
drawn scorn and scrutiny. Among them:

GOV. ROD BLAGOJEVICH: Obama has maintained a cordial but distant relationship with Blagojevich during the
governor's tenure. He has complimented Blagojevich for running "a sound administration" with "the right priorities." He supported his fellow Democrat for re-election in 2006, even though the governor backed someone else over Obama in the U.S. Senate Democratic primary.
Obama's circle of major Illinois political allies and supporters is largely separate from Blagojevich's, with two major
exceptions. Both Obama and Blagojevich got extensive money and support from Chicago businessman Antoin "Tony"
Rezko. At least one top aide to Obama, Michael Strautmanis, previously worked for Blagojevich.
But Blagojevich's disdain for Obama was clear in court documents released Tuesday after the Illinois governor was
arrested. Blagojevich, accused by federal prosecutors of conspiring to sell or trade for personal benefits the Senate seat left vacant by Obama, was overheard complaining at one point that Obama's people are "not going to give me anything except appreciation." He added: "(Expletive) them."
Obama said Tuesday, "I had no contact with the governor or his office, and so I was not aware of what was happening."

ANTOIN REZKO: "Tony" Rezko, who raised money for the campaigns of both Obama and Blagojevich, is awaiting
sentencing after being convicted in June on charges of using clout with Blagojevich's administration to help launch a $7 million kickback scheme.
The charges have no connection to Obama, but Rezko is tied to the Illinois senator in other ways.
Rezko and his family donated at least $21,457 to Obama and helped raise over $200,000 more, though not for his
presidential bid. He also advised Obama on the purchase of a new Chicago home and, in his wife's name, purchased a
vacant lot next door to the new Obama home when the seller wanted to dispose of both properties at the same time.
Rezko then sold a slice of the property to Obama.
Obama has donated Rezko's contributions to charity and says it was a mistake to work with Rezko on buying the house.

JEREMIAH WRIGHT: Wright was Obama's minister for 20 years. He helped Obama embrace Christianity, performed Obama's marriage, and baptized Obama and his two daughters.
Wright was known for thundering "God D_mn America" in clips that dominated cable television news programs for weeks last spring. Wright accused the government of creating AIDS.
Obama has done his best to distance himself from his former minister, to the point of resigning from the church that
Wright once led.
Wright's comments were a stumbling block for Obama's campaign. In an impassioned speech about faith and race, the Democrat at first expressed support for Wright, saying that "I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother."
But six weeks later during a speech at the National Press Club, Wright offered eyebrow-raising opinions about the U.S.
government, praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and hinted that Obama was distancing himself from the
pastor for political expediency.
The next day, Obama said he was outraged and denounced Wright's remarks.

WILLIAM AYERS: Today, Ayers is a university professor and a member of Chicago's intellectual establishment. Forty
years ago he was a member of the Weather Underground, a radical group that claimed responsibility for a series of
bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol.
Ayers was a fugitive for years with his wife, fellow radical Bernadine Dohrn. But after surrendering in 1980, the charges against Ayers were dropped because of prosecutorial misconduct.
Obama had a very limited relationship with Ayers, who lives in the same neighborhood. They served together on the board of a Chicago charity, and in the mid-1990s when Obama first ran for office, Ayers hosted a meet-the-candidate session for Obama at his home.
Ayers was front and center in GOP claims that Obama was "palling around with terrorists," as Republican vice
presidential nominee Sarah Palin put it.
Obama has condemned Ayers' radical activities, and there's no evidence they ever were close friends or that Ayers
advised Obama on policy.
Ayers said in November that he hardly knew Obama. "I think my relationship with Obama was probably like thousands of others in Chicago. And, like millions and millions of others, I wish I knew him better," Ayers said in a newspaper interview.

EMIL JONES: Jones, the president of the Illinois Senate, amounts to Obama's political godfather and was an important
part of Obama's longshot victory for U.S. Senate in 2004. He helped the little-known politician meet the right people, and he picked Obama to handle high-profile legislation during the two years leading up to the election.
But Jones' political style is very different from Obama's.
Jones is known for steering state money to a few favored institutions, including some that employ his relatives. Several of his relatives have gotten state jobs, and his wife's government salary jumped 60 percent after he became Senate
president. He has played an important role in blocking ethics legislation in Illinois.
When Jones announced last summer that he would retire from the Illinois Senate when his term ends in January, an Obama campaign spokesman said "Jones has been a passionate advocate who has fought for working families and the underprivileged."
Jones was considered a possible successor to Obama in the Senate.

RASHID KHALIDI: Khalidi is a scholar and author on Middle Eastern affairs who has criticized Israeli policies and was
part of a Palestinian advisory panel to peace talks in the early 1990s.
He's also a friend of Obama.
They met while both were teaching at the University of Chicago and living in the same neighborhood. Obama and his
wife, Michelle, sometimes had dinner with Khalidi and his wife, Mona. The Khalidis hosted a political fundraiser for Obama in 2000, and the Woods Fund charity gave money to the Arab-American Action Network, run by Mona Khalidi, while Obama served on the charity's board.
Khalidi and Obama have both said they hold very different opinions on Israeli issues, but their friendship has been used to raise questions about Obama's support for Israel — and to generate Internet headlines such as "Meet Obama's Terrorist Friend."
Late in the 2008 presidential campaign, the Republican nominee, John McCain, and Palin criticized Obama for attending
a 2003 party for Khalidi. Obama's campaign dismissed the complaints, saying Khalidi was not an adviser to him and that Obama does not share Khalidi's views.

MICHAEL PFLEGER: Pfleger, a Roman Catholic priest in Chicago, has been known as a firebrand for years. He has
protested over a wide range of issues, including gun shops and Jerry Springer. Obama has referred to him as a spiritual
adviser.
Last spring, Pfleger visited Obama's church and preached a sermon in which he mocked Hillary Rodham Clinton and
accused her of expecting to win the presidential nomination because she was white. Pfleger apologized, but Obama condemned the remarks and resigned from the church. "

" As for Cheney's "service to his country," aren't some of you forgetting he said he didn't go to Nam "because he had better things to do."?

Cheney is what's known as a "chicken hawk." He's always willing to go to war, as long as he himself doesn't have to go. "

" What? "Citizen patriot?" I thank God that most people in the U.S. do not cling to so-called "Wyoming values." "

" clinton did not go to nam either. both he and cheney served the country within the government so your point would be what. "

" Larry J, So by your measure Abe Lincoln and FDR were also "chicken hawks" too.

Extending your ill thought out theory, then only those who have served in the Armed Forces should be able to vote and voice an opinion about conflicts in America too?

Can you now see the error in your short sighted thinking?

Vice President Cheney has served this nation and this state well for most of his adult life. For that we must extend him our thanks. "

" Thanks for your service! Now move back to NEBRASKA! "

" Welcome back, and thank you for your exceptional service! "

" What specific crimes (name time and place) are you accusing Vice President Cheney of committing?

Where is your evidence less the liberal medias constant vague remarks (name the source and the date)?

Where are the indictments against him for alleged illegal activities while in office (name the agency making the indictment and date)?

As the Vice President, what orders did he issue to who to commit what crimes (name the agency or individual receiving this order and when)?

Can you corroborate any of the above with more than hearsay?

We work on facts here in America. We should also return to voting based on them.

I'd have a beer for lunch and hunt birds with him any day I was lucky enough to offered the opportunity to.

You folks that are anti-Cheney are a bunch of non-thinkers that are told what to think by the media and your leftist party affiliations. "

" Dear Waldron and others,
Abe Lincoln was a soldier briefly in the Black Hawk Indian campaign.
The chicken hawk label isn't meant so much for men and women who haven't served in the military, but for those bellicose few who are anxious to go to war, when they themselves have no experience with war. That certainly does not describe Abe and FDR.
As for "selfless service," Cheney started the process of gutting the military of support service personnel, which led to KBR and Halliburton getting multi-billion dollar contracts for military support services like meal prep, logistics, etc.
Cheney made many millions from that decision, so please don't say his service was ever "selfless." It was not. "

" You people crack me up. On the one hand you talk all this high praise about Cheney and on the other hand you talk smack about people in Teton county. The funny thing is that Cheney has a home in Jackson. Of course he doesn't actually live there; he actually lives in Texas with all his rich oil buddies. All the rich and famous people have houses in Jackson, but few of them actually live there; they are just vacation homes. The only people who live there are the people who serve the tourist industry and pamper the part-time residents when they come to visit their homes. As far as Cheney; who cares, let him go back to Texas or shoot his friends in Jackson or whatever; as long as he isn't anywhere near the whitehouse the country will be better off. "

" he is a scum bag plain and simple, he caused the death of a lot of people, most in the republican party dislike the man, he cost them the election 2 times "

" KBR (Kellog, Brown & Root) has been a government contractor for over 30 years which is way before Cheney was ever the Secretary of Defense OR the CEO of Halliburton. KBR, previously known as Brown and Root, has ALWAYS been a preferred government contractor. Don't blame Cheney for this, he had NOTHING to do about it!!!! By the way, when he came back to politics, he sold all of his Halliburton stock just to stop idiots from making stupid accusations. Some of you may want to look deep into your own 401(k) and see how much Halliburton stock your portfolio owns!! Please people...educate yourself....you are making Wyoming look like a bunch of idiots!

Also...who cares if people have homes they only live in part time in Jackson Hole??? If they can afford it kudos to them!! They are paying their property taxes to Teton County and supporting Wyoming It's not different than the cabins on Casper Mountain owned by out of staters (and there are more than you can imagine!!) "

" Some dumb azz named berry wants to go hunting with richard, are you kidding me, did not he s he what richard did to his last hunting partner, wear a bullet proveff vest fool. and why come here ,doesn,t he still have a house in texas go there ,they ,apprently have not seen you in action for the last 8 years, oh he don,t want to go there thats right he,s under indictment there "

" Inky, Your sujective application of the title "chicken hawk" follows your subjective philosophy which is what allows you to enjoy the illogical use of situational (subjective vice objective) ethics. No excuses you can offer will make your thinking correct or ethical. You are damaged goods and all who read you foolish words can tell that. Your attacks on the Vice President only make him look all that much better since you can tell much about a man by his enemies. "

" Perhaps we will be lucky and the good Lord will decide what Cheney deserves. I doubt it will be sainthood. "

" Welcome home, we're proud of you! "

" Cheney, perhaps the most powerful VP in history, has done the things we the people elected him to do. Afghanistan and Iraq war started before the election in 2004 and the country reelected them and they continued those policies. Bush and Cheney both do what they say they will do and they don't mess around with trying to please the UN. And thats the way it should be! "

" I hope you know-it-alls will scrutinize The Messiah as much as Bush-Cheney. I doubt that you will. You enjoy the flavor of his Kool-Aid too much. "

" You go Russ
If congress would do there job Instead of trying to stab Bush and Cheney in the back or economy would not be were its at.
WELCOME HOME VP CHENEY "

There are fewer private sector jobs in Sept 2004 (109,910,000) than in January 2001 (111,560,000). Average seasonally-adjusted non-farm job growth for 2004 is 376,500 which is ahead of the forecast because of public sector job growth. There are slightly more "non-farm jobs" in Sept 2004 (131,202,000) than there was in January 2001 (130,433,000). See Aug Job Numbers "

" Glad that Cheney can mingle with the common people who he claims to have "served" for all these years. I'm not sure who has $15,000 dollars to say hi to him. Nobody I know, that's for sure. Go back to Texas or Nebraska with the rest of your cronies. You don't fit in out here. "

" The leaders of Boy Scouting in Wyoming have disappointed me to the core. I am finding it quite difficult to maintain any level of pride in scouting if they are going to "honor" such a man; a man whose actions and words are, for the most part, great examples of what REAL Scouts are NOT! I don't know a single scouting family with whom I grew up who could even afford to "rub elbows" with Mr. Cheney at $15,000. If I ever get the chance I will hand all my scouting awards over to him...Wyoming's Boy Scout leaders have taken away all their worth. It's a sad, sad day for scouting in Wyoming. "

" Oh, the Cheney accomplishments Wyoming can honor: He conned us into invading Iraq. (To date: 4,212 American Military casualties, 100,000+ injuries.) Who's not bursting with pride about how well Cheney worked with (for?!) his oil and gas cronies to rape and plunder his old steppingstone, Wyoming?

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998.

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999.

"There is no doubt that . Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, Dec, 5, 2001.

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them."
Sen. Carl Levin (d, MI), Sept. 19, 2002.

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seing and developing weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002.

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002.

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force if necessary to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002.

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years . We also should remember we have alway s underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Jay Rockerfeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002,

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do."
Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002.

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction. "[W]ithout question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he has continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ...

Well call them liars too or just be a liberal hypocrite "

" Cheney is a Great American & all you loeftwing crybaby liberals can !@#$ off !!! "

" When you need a man you go to a state that reflects pure true Americanism , But unfortunately they got the wrong man for the job when they picked dead wood dickie to assist the most unpopular president in America's history. What will the cons say when Obama brings biin ladin in for trial , will rush limp paw say if the cons hadnt gotten him to go into hiding , Obama would never have found him. I saw a poll recently that the results reflected the libs were marter than the cons by 3% in a field of 1800 unbias survey takers. But if you take that 3% which is approximately the same number of Americans that still think their kimosabe has done no wrong. Obama will set a example on how American politician are voted in for the people & not for the big business intrests.
So cons I exspect to hear a lot of baaa baaa out of you when rush stops in his tracks & you end up having a bent brown nose from the impact. "
