Cheney is the Biggest Flipper Flopper of ALL Time

CONVERSION ON HEAD START

* In 1986, Cheney Was One of Only 33 House Members to Vote against Reauthorization of Head Start. Cheney was one of only 33 members of the House to vote against authorizing appropriations for FYs 1987 - 1990 for the Head Start, Follow Through, dependent care, community services block grant, and community food and nutrition programs. <1986 CQ Almanac, p. 30-H, vote #94>
* Cheney Said He Would Vote to Authorize
Head Start Today. In an interview on July 30, Cheney said he would vote to authorize Head Start programs today. When asked about his support for Head Start today, Cheney replied, "Yes," he would support the program today.


CONVERSION ON FREEDOM FOR NELSON MANDELA

* Cheney Voted against Resolution Calling for Nelson Mandela's Freedom. In 1986, Cheney voted against a resolution expressing the sense of the House that the President should urge the South African government to engage in political negotiations with the country's black majority, grant immediate and unconditional release to Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners, and recognize the African National Congress (ANC) as a legitimate representative for the black majority. Motion rejected 245-177. <1986 CQ Almanac, p. 86-H, vote #304>
* First, Cheney Distorted Mandela Vote. When first questioned about his vote against releasing Nelson Mandela from prison, Cheney said he voted against the measure because it would have imposed economic sanctions on South Africa. According to the Washington Post, "Mr. Cheney's response was that he had been opposed to the imposition of economic sanctions on South Africa. But the resolution made no mention of such sanctions."

* Now Cheney Claims He Supported Mandela's
Release All Along. In an interview on July 30, 2000, Cheney was asked about his vote in opposition to releasing Nelson Mandela from prison. Cheney answered, "Well, certainly I would have loved to have Nelson Mandela released. I don't know anybody who was for keeping him in prison. Again, this was a resolution of the U.S. Congress, so it wasn't as though if we passed it, he was going to be let out of prison."

*(OMG...can you believe that, CAN YOU??!! Oh I get it DICK, he wasn't going to be let out, so you figured - oh HELL, I'll just vote NO?!!! You lying evil sack of...)


CONVERSION ON COP-KILLER BULLETS

* Cheney Was One of Only 21 House Members to Oppose Ban on Armor Piercing Bullets. In 1985, Cheney was one of only 21 members of the House to vote against regulating the manufacture, importation, and sale of armor piercing ammunition. <1985 CQ Almanac, vote #424>

* Cheney Now Says He Would Be Open to Ban on Cop-Killer Bullets. In an interview on July 30, 2000, Cheney responded to a question of whether he would support a ban on cop-killer bullets and plastic guns by saying, "Well, obviously, I'd be happy to entertain that notion. I don't want to say that I'm absolutely for cop-killer bullets. I'm clearly not." Cheney later added that he would support the ban on cop-killer bullets and plastic guns if there was a clean vote.

CONVERSION ON CLEAN WATER
* Cheney Was One of Only 8 Who Voted Against Clean Water Act. Cheney voted seven times against authorizing clean water programs, often as one of a small minority of members who voted against authorization. In 1985, Cheney voted against appropriations to carry out the Safe Drinking Water Act; in 1987, he was one of only 8 who voted against reauthorization of the Clean Water Act. <1981 CQ Almanac, p. 86-H, vote #266; 1984 CQ Almanac, p. 16-H, vote #45; H.R. 3282, vote #2267, 6/26/84; 1986 CQ Almanac, p. 34-H, vote #110; 1985 CQ Almanac, p. 72-H, vote #226; 1985 CQ Almanac, p. 72-H, vote #225; 1987 CQ Almanac, p. 2-H, vote #8; p. 8-H, vote #14>

Cheney voted at least five times against measures to reauthorize, expand, or strengthen the Superfund hazardous waste cleanup program; in 1986, he was one of only 27 members who voted against reauthorization. <1984 CQ Almanac, p. 98-H, vote #323; p. 102-H, vote #333; 1985 CQ Almanac, p. 124-H, vote #394; p. 128-H, vote #409; 1986 CQ Almanac, p. 116-H, vote #408>

Truth first casualty of Cheney debate style

It's a wonder that millions of TV screens didn't shatter as U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney's nose poked right through them last night. Just as he has in many, if not all, of his TV appearances since the terror attacks of 9/11, Cheney lied again during his 90-minute debate with Democratic vice-presidential contender, North Carolina Senator John Edwards.

Cheney even lied about lying about Iraq's supposed stores of weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein's supposed ties to Al Qaeda, and just about everything else in this supposed "war on terror" — not to mention the illicit activities of Halliburton, the oil field supply corporation he used to run in the 1990s.

"The senator has got his facts wrong," Cheney said after the first of many times Edwards hammered him on Osama bin Laden. " I have not suggested there's a connection between Iraq and 9/11, but there's clearly an established Iraqi track record with terror."

If this column had a video component, right now we'd be rolling back the tape to show Cheney on CNBC's The Capital Report, as recently as last June, lying to host Gloria Berger. He denied what he said on Meet The Press in 2001, that it was "pretty well confirmed" that lead 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta had meetings with Iraqi intelligence.
