Cheney loses election after insulting voters by saying, "It doesn't matter what they say about the war or anything else because we will continue to do what we like whether right or wrong ... We're not running for office, we’re just trying to stay out of jail."

With no intention of running for it , Cheney is seeking to stop impeachment of Bush and criminal charges against himself and Rumy for their many crimes while in office.
"The choice before the American people is becoming more clear every day," Cheney said. "For the sake of the security of Rumy and myself, this nation must reject any proper and sensible strategy on anything and vote us back in control of Congress."
