Writes Peter Roff: "The sudden re-emergence on the political scene of former Vice President Dick Cheney is somewhat puzzling. Why would a man who has occupied positions of authority in Congress and the White House, been a success in business, and has a wife who works outside the home want to re-enter the arena when he didn't have to? Could it be that he is testing the waters for a 2012 run for the Republican presidential nomination?" Is Dick Cheney contemplating a presidential run in 2012? Post your thoughts.

I agree with Gossip Pig...just because a guy has an opinion and shares it without regard as to who likes it and who doesn't like it...does not mean he's running for president. I think Vice President Cheney is simply looking out for the country that he loves, and is doing his best to keep this current atrocity of an administration from completely taking over every aspect of our lives. I appreciate his willingness to stand up for the conservative viewpoint. I absolutely adore him, and I believe he is certainly the strongest Republican standing right now.

Sharkozy for president 2012

Our recent history has shown that virtual unknowns a few years before the election often end up in the White House. It will be whoever the power brokers behind the scenes decide suits their purposes. Do you think Obama is real? Face it, he is a puppet.
