...Another controversial vote (click here) was Cheney's stance against a non-binding 1986 House resolution calling for the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in South Africa, and recognition of his political organization formed to fight apartheid, the African National Congress (ANC).
Cheney said he was one of 180 House members to vote against the resolution because the ANC "at the time was viewed as a terrorist organization and had a number of interests that were fundamentally inimical to the United States."
He said that Democratic attempts to characterize his entire public service record around the Mandela vote was a prime example of why American voters "think people back here (in Washington) are basically irrelevant ... never dealing with an issue that has anything to do with the future of this country."...
The policies of Cheney and Rumsfeld are the exact same policies of The Tea Party, decades later. The war on a civilized USA never ends.
