Cheney: Well, I don't expect that to happen. I'm optimistic that we're going to hold both the House and the Senate. One of the things I do talk about on the campaign trail is the importance of what we've been able to do with tax policy. How our changes in tax policy -- especially in '03 -- stimulated a recovery that's generated 6.6 million new jobs. Just today, the Dow broke through the 12,000 mark, first time ever for the Dow Jones Industrials. I think a lot of that goes back to what we were able...
...talk about the fact that Charlie Rangel, for example, has announced that he doesn't think a single one of the Bush tax cuts ought to be extended. The fact is, of course, it's going to take an affirmative act by Congress to extend those cuts. They're going to be sunsetted here.

They've seen what we've done with tax policy, and the result it has achieved. And I think they know, as well, what the Democrats believe...
...Democrats didn't vote for those tax cuts that we put in place. They opposed them. And Charlie Rangel has indicated he's opposed to any extension of them at all. So I think it's a pretty clear choice, and I think in order for someone to vote Democratic for Congress this year, they have to say, yes, they're voting for a big tax increase because it will happen -- as I say without any action by the Congress at all because those tax provisions are sunsetted, and we have to extend them if we're going to keep...
...would settle for one that doesn’t abandon poor people to die in hurricanes and that prevents members of Congress from having cybersex with 15-year-olds.Some will mourn the decline of idealism among the students at the IOP. It’s true that the Earned Income Tax Credit is less romantic than the Peace Corps—which almost no IOP students will join—and quietly hunting down terrorists doesn’t have the emotional appeal of bearing any burden or fighting any foe. But idealism and Kennedy nostalgia will not rescue politics from...
