KUDLOW: Do you think there's been a sufficient response to it?
Mr. CHENEY: I think we need to do an aggressive job as a party, administration and our friends in congress at emphasizing what we have done, that has worked so well with respect to tax policy and economic growth and so forth and what will happen if the Democrats take over. It's not a mystery. You can look at what Senator Clinton believes in and how she voted. You can look at Charlie Rangel's proposals with respect to tax policy and the democrats basically want to spend more money, they want to raise taxes. It's basically an anti-growth policy. It's exactly the opposite of what the
Republicans have been providing for the last several years. That's the fundamental difference. They're entitled to their beliefs. What we have to do, as you say, I think we need to work very hard to make our case so that the American people understand both the benefits of what's occurred, what we've done out there as well as the problems and the price that we pay if the Democrats take over.
KUDLOW: Speaking of another Democratic front-runner, you and Senator Obama are apparently related. This information comes from your wife, Lynn, she appeared on our program not too long ago. Marine and Susan Duvall@, immigrants from France. You spoke to Mr. Obama about this shared experience?
Mr. CHENEY: Cousin Barack? No. No we haven't. We haven't had the opportunity to talk about it.
KUDLOW: You haven't once?
Mr. CHENEY: No.
KUDLOW: You call him up and say, `Well, heck, there's a family tree.'
Mr. CHENEY: I didn't know whether that would help him or hurt him. So I thought I'd probably stay away from it, so. Apparently we do have a common ancestor about eight or nine generations back.
KUDLOW: Mr. Vice President, thanks once again for coming on the program.
Mr. CHENEY: Well, thanks, Larry. I enjoyed the show.
KUDLOW: OK.
Mr. CHENEY: That was amazing.
KUDLOW: You knew it was coming?
Mr. CHENEY: I could guess.
KUDLOW: Oh, gosh.
