Mondale argued that freedom from higher political ambition freed Cheney to disrespect the Congress, the American people and the law.
Mondale said: “The other morning, Mr. Cheney was on ‘Good Morning America.’ A reporter asked him: ‘Well, polls now show that two thirds of the American people are opposed to this war. Shouldn’t that mean something?’ And [Cheney] said, ‘So?’
“Y’know, maybe he didn’t say it correctly or say it the way he meant it. And I don’t say that public opinion should govern everything. But public opinion deserves respect and the president and the vice president ought to be worried about it.
