Robert J. Elisberg: Dick Cheney: the Only Person in the World Who Doesn't Know Why He's Unpopular

Robert J. Elisberg: Dick Cheney: the Only Person in the World Who Doesn't Know Why He's Unpopular: "Further...of course Dick Cheney follows the polls. Politicians follow polls more readily than pigs follow a trail of garbage. That doesn't mean they all act on what the poll says. But sure as the sun rises, politicians follow polls. And this administration, perhaps more than any in U.S. history, has made polls its lifeblood and followed them in order to appeal to its base and find issues to divide the country.
Of course, the biggest proof that Mr. Cheney was lying and that he actually does follow polls is that he answered the question. When asked to explain his low approval rating, he didn't respond, 'What??! I'm unpopular?? Really?!!!! No way. You're serious. No way. Yipes, I had no idea.' No, instead, he answered the question. And acknowledged that he knew he was, indeed, unpopular.
He just said he didn't know why."

When up is down and they say they don't do something, you can bet they do. Every time.
