Edwards Has Harsh Words for Bush, Cheney

[Career Prole]

GOLDEN, Colo. - Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards took President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney to task Thursday on gay marriage, poverty, and other issues, using unusually harsh words at a forum that included undecided voters.

<snip>

Edwards said that earlier Thursday, he and Bush came within miles of each other in New Mexico on the same day new Census numbers were released that showed the number of Americans living in poverty increased by 1.3 million last year, while the ranks of the uninsured swelled by 1.4 million.
"It'd be interesting to hear what he had to say about these important issues," Edwards said. Pausing as the crowd roared, he added: "You just heard it. He remained completely silent."
"Sometimes I guess silence is golden. This is not one of those times," Edwards said.

And, Edwards said, Bush told New Mexico residents that "he wanted to be given four more years of George Bush and Dick Cheney so they could continue the good they're doing for America."
"I just don't know if Americans can take that kind of good anymore," Edwards quipped.

The Bush campaign chastised Edwards for his "cynical and sarcastic attacks."

Ah, our trusty "liberal" media! They call this stuff "harsh-worded...attacks".
No, you buttwads. Edwards spoke the truth. Sometimes that hurts.
You've been so busy calling actual attacks merely "controversial" for so long I can see where you might get confused.

Jerks.

1. Cynical & sarcastic? Since when is the truth 'cynical & sarcastic'?....

...I guess Kerry and Edwards are supposed to play up to the dumb crowd like Bush Cheney do. Doesn't this all just seem surreal sometimes?

[Tight_rope]

7. Yeah...it does "seem surreal"....Michael Moore said it first...

I'm still waiting to wake up from this nightmare.

[jdj]

16. more of them good ol' contrast words.

Thanks to the republican party for making me a cynical and sarcastic bastard. And I'm a woman. That's how bad it is.

[LearnedHand]

2. As opposed to the REAL truth...

...in the SwiftBoat ads, I guess. Sheesh. :shrug:

[GaryL]

3. I love it.

Johnny E. has found his mojo. Keep swingin' guy!

:yourock:

[Tight_rope]

4. "I just don't know if Americans can take that kind of good anymore,"

Damn skippy we can't take that kind of good anymore. Shit...if what Bush has been doing is "GOOD" for America. Damn, than I don't want to see the "BAD", which would happen if he didn't move out of the WH.

5. Harry Truman was right: give 'em the truth, and they'll think it's hell

[Fovea]

10. You got that right.

And the quote asking how many times you have to get hit in the head to figure out who is doing the hitting.

We know who is hitting us. Now we have to get up and tear pieces of them off.

6. GO John!

EOM

[loudsue]

8. New deal:

If Bush quits telling lies about Kerry, we'll quit telling the truth about bush??

Ha! No deal, chimpy.

:kick::kick::kick:

9. If they describe that as HARSH words, they must all live in a

cave somewhere! Harsh words come from Bob Dole, Al Sharpton, Dennis Kusinich, amd pr yea, Dick Cheney! They really need to get out in the real world a little more.

[skooooo]

11. Bush is going to snap soon....

....and say something really stupid out of anger...Just you wait.

[LisaL]

12. Preferably

On national TV.

[Sugarbleus]

13. Geez, this is getting uglier " OFF WITH THEIR HEADS", I say...

I like your description: 'Buttwads'! LOL

Those reptilians are absolutely ridiculous! (No offense to reptiles)

:edit for typo

14. people that live in glass houses should not throw stones

The Bush campaign chastised Edwards for his "cynical and sarcastic attacks."

The piggie should have built him a better house.

[Cooley Hurd]

23. The definition of "cynical and sarcastic" is...

...Cheney flogging Kerry for the "sensitive" comments on the "War on Terror..."

Silly republicans... :eyes:

[A_Possum]

15. Oh, Edwards, you vicious pit bull

Why are you picking on that poor widdle poodle Bush?

Go get 'em boy!

[fearnobush]

17. Ohh the fake outrage. Take a look at the numbers boys.

They suck and so do you two.

Repubs angered over the truth!!

wouldn't that be a great head line.

[sandnsea]

18. Bush might be a bad President

Would that be a cynical and sarcastic attack too? Geesh. Maybe we should all just walk around with tape over our mouths for the next week. Wouldn't want to say anything to upset the Chimperor.

19. doesn't include tax cuts?????

More Americans in poverty and uninsured, Census says

-------------SNIPPET---------

The Bush campaign countered that Census' income and poverty numbers painted an incomplete picture by not including tax cuts championed by the president.

================================

the tax cuts were in 2001 -- this report is for 2004.... and bush* has been flapping his lips about how good the tax cuts are for the economy

seems to me that if the tax cuts are soooooooooo good for the economy that they would have shown better numbers

=========================

meanwhile - be on the watch for the latest song from the bush* choir.
I heard this yesterday by two different members of the bush* choir

paraphrased... " ....John Kerry??? is this the best the democrats can do???.... "

allow me to add my own "scoff-scoff-snort-snort" -- "...bush* choir is just coming out with this snide slam -- 4 months after it was apparent that Kerry was to be the nominee??? sorry - seems to me this type of 'sniping' comment has missed the boat

[Disturbed]

20. Neo Fascists=Hypocrites

Nuff said.

[llmart]

21. Yeah, what the f... is wrong with them damned Amurkins......

I gave them all a big whoppin' $300 check right after I took office (even though it turned out to be just an advance on their tax refund)and here it is almost 2005 and they've run out of money already? What a bunch of ingrates!

[truthisfreedom]

22. so, the question is, how much further will the unemployed, poor, and im-

poverished have to bend over for bush/cheney?

answer: stand up, America. Kerry is coming!
