Cheney paints Kerry as soft on war on terror

[CShine]

Vice President Dick Cheney used a Houston congressional fund-raiser today to attack Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry as soft on the country's war on terror and its occupation of Iraq.

Cheney noted that Kerry, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, voted against appropriations that would have helped buy equipment for American troops in Iraq. Later, Cheney said, Kerry complained that American troops did not have the body armor and other equipment needed for the battle.

Cheney also said Kerry believes that terrorism should be fought with law enforcement tactics instead of military ones.

"It is not an excellent record for someone who aspires to become commander-in-chief in the time of destiny for our country," Cheney said.

[mot78]

[Shakespeare]

5. Chickenhawk.

Let's see your medals from Vietnam, asshole, and then we'll talk about who's "soft."

[mom cat]

13. It's time to get hard on chickenhawk.

[bemildred]

23. Chickenhawk Chickenhawk Chickenhawk Chickenhawk ...

Repeat as necessary.

[Tight_rope]

36. Chaney...I say this with great respect!

Go Fuck Yourself...You Lying Thief.
:nuke: the mutherfucker.

[blm]

6. Hey Dick - ever read the 1997 book that alerted to terror The New War?

It was WRITTEN by John Kerry, you focking moron!

He knew what dirty dealings you assholes were doing when you and other international governments were FUNDING the focking terrorists.

You will rue the day that John Kerry started investigating BCCI. IT STILL AIN'T OVER, YOU FOCKERS!

[Journeyman]

7. "In the time of destiny. . . "

I wonder if Cheney says that with the inflection of a professional wrestling announcer, complete with echo chamber and breathless urgency. . .

What a schnook.

[gulliver]

45. I find it a little spooky.

Cheney is one weird bastard. He and Wolfowitz make a great pair. They are both cracked.

[Cocoa]

8. nice bio in the sidebar

I especially liked seeing this part:

• Received student and family draft deferments instead of serving in the military.

[killbotfactory]

9. Cheney is a fucking moron who will get us all killed

Military tactics don't work on terrorist you GODDAMN FUCKING ASSHOLE. That's why terrorists resort to the tactics they use! MOTHERFUCKER.

[markses]

10. Shouldn't Cheney be hanging out with his pal Ahmed Chalabi

While said pal passes sensitive sercets to Iranian agents?

Please. I mean, PUH-fucking-LEEZ. Cheney is a disgrace to this country, and to himself. Greedy and a coward, Mr. Other Priorities.

[Malva Zebrina]

11. Is this the same "five deferment" Cheney?

who has made millions off of Halliburton and is still making money off of Halliburton and sees no need to not to make more money off of Halliburton, even though he is now the Vice president, appointed of course by the Supreme court to make more money by waging wars and hiding his filthy connections to those who he can make more money for, because of his position in the guvernment of the United States.

This guy is really evil, as evil or moreso than George Bush. He is more intelligent that is for sure and as such, should be more aware--and more reflective--nope--never--he has only been every concerned about his personal fortune and has a bitch for a wife who also enjoys the fortunes he makes on the lives of the poor bastard Americans who are sent to areas such as Afganisatan and Iraq.

[Old and In the Way]

12. I'm not sure about Cheney.

Is it more appropos to describe Cheney as a hypocritical, lying chickenhawk or an unethical, war-profiteering criminal?

[1monster]

15. How 'bout Cheney is a hypocritical, lying chickenhawk, unethical, war-

profiteering, criminal as a beginning? I'm sure we can all more and better adjectives to add to this...

[Hand]

31. Also...

A major-league asshole--big time!

:evilgrin:

ON EDIT: Texasblueeyes beat me to it, I now see. Great minds think alike!

:hi:

[H2O Man]

16. I give you credit

for being able to focus on his positive attributes.

[MikeG]

14. Kerry could easily kick Cheney's ass you know.

[Norbert]

20. My next door neighbors 5 year old granddaughter could take on Cheney

All she would have to do is yell boo! and the Dick would keel over clutching his heart.

[symbolman]

37. I'd love to see crowds of people

at protests carrying or running MICROWAVE units from any average, ordinary kitchen as he speaks..

kind of like that scene in Vegas Vacation where "Clark's" cousin is reacting (making strange faces) in the restaurant because someone is running a microwave and he has a metal plate in his head..

[Tellurian]

17. You see it's the same old tired lines Cheney is using in campaign rhetoric

What does that tell you?

Cheney is running on empty!

[bobbieinok]

18. soft on terror probably means that he doesn't support torture

As Michael Savage says 'After 9-11 there's no place for a 60s era obsession with civil rights.'

[struggle4progress]

43. Here's how I think it should work, Michael:

We begin by finding the fools who want to limit our civil liberties; declare those fools to be enemy combatants; and ship the fools off to Gitmo indefinitely.

Let me add, Michael, that I consider your views treasonous.

[Just Me]

19. Cheney IS a freakin' "terrorist" violently imposing his greed on us.

Screw him.

He's a cold-blooded, NO-hearted, greedy dung!!!

:grr:

[MikeG]

21. The only three places Cheney goes these days...

1. The undisclosed location.
2. A fundraiser.
3. Meet the Press.

[IndianaGreen]

22. Pathetic!

Cheney's accusations go beyond pulp fiction. Kerry is as hawkish as Bush on the war on terra. I think Cheney thinks that the Dems have nominated Dukakis again.

[SammyWinstonJack]

24. What a MAJOR LEAGUE ASSHOLE!

Big Time!

[JayS]

25. I'm somewhat in favor of using military tactics over law...

...enforcement tactics when necessary. I'm just not confident in who is making that call right now.

[mike1963]

26. Well, just FUCK that goddamned chickenshit motherfucking bastard.

With a broom handle.
:grr:

[H2O Man]

27. I look forward

to seeing cheney in a debate with any one of several vp choices that Kerry could make.

[Hand]

32. Yep...

Y'know, that's about the only reason I'd even think of McCain for VP... He'd grab Crashcart by the short and curlies and not let go until the vile swine shrieked uncle!

:evilgrin:

[TahitiNut]

28. Cheney makes Spiro Agnew look like an Eagle Scout.

Never before has the Executive Branch been infested with such detestible, corrupt scum.

[crossroads]

29. Cheney is soooo booooooooring!

:kick:

[Darranar]

30. The war on terrorism SHOULD be fought through...

law enforcement, not through large-scale colonial wars slaughtering thousands of innocent people.

[robbedvoter]

33. Repeat after me: IRAQ IS NOT THE WAR ON TERROR

Is anyone gonna challenge the very premise of this idiocy?

[IndianaGreen]

34. Iraq is not the war on terror

but it is the war that is recruiting future terrorists, all thanks to Bush/Cheny and that lunatic Rumsfeld.

Sometimes I wonder if bin Laden is not working incognito in the Pentagon as one of Wolfowitz's neocons.

[sistersofmercy]

35. Fuck Cheney!

That rigid right wing POS!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

38. As opposed to shrubco's "hard on" for war. They do not have an

"excellent record" of performance in our foreign policy of invading sovereign nations. Their record speaks for itself.

[symbolman]

39. In case people don't know about it

CHENEY tried to cut funding of MANY weapons systems and closing of bases in his old JOB..

as a matter of fact, SOME Of the cuts were the same cuts that Kerry was advising..

so we've officially fallen THOUGH the mirror :)

anyone got the facts on that? Make a great flash attack ad..

[Jack Rabbit]

40. Cheney is soft on corporate crime

Of course, even if Kerry actually were soft on terrorism, it wouldn't be because he is a terrorist.

Cheney's case is a little different.

[Forkboy]

41. Better than stupid on it Dick

:shrug:

[dave29]

42. Cheney paints self as Stupid on Terror

just ask Chalabi

[Barkley]

44. You Suck , Dick!

Cheney voted for appropriations that killed 790 plus GIs.

[MasonJar]

47. Why yes, Dickhead, I am confident that Kerry will not be break-

ing the Geneva Conventions, if that is your idea of being soft. Cheney has about as much credibility as Haliburton and Enron, his soul mates.

[homelandpunk]

48. "in the time of destiny"???? o fuck!! Now he's talking like Darth! JE

ZUZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
