Cheney: Conservative Nightmare
David Boaz gets it right:
In a way, Cheney's story is the story of the Bush administration: Where they pushed bad policies, policies that dramatically expand the power of the federal government and infringe on our liberties, they have had much success. When Cheney and occasionally Bush backed good policies, policies that would constrain government, they failed miserably. Indeed, if Vice President Cheney is indeed a "small-government conservative" who used his unprecedented power to "hold the line" for "conservative orthodoxy on budget and tax matters," he has been a failure of Carteresque proportions.
At least Carter didn't pretend to be a conservative. And back then, Americans were smart enough not to re-elect total incompetents.
