Cheney, Miller Unleash Rage Against Kerry



http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&u=/ap/20040902/ap_on_el_pr/cvn_convention_rdp_25

NEW YORK - Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) unleashed a stinging attack on Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) Wednesday night, ridiculing him as a politician who has made a career out of changing his mind. "More wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure," agreed Sen. Zell Miller (news, bio, voting record), a Democratic keynoter at the Republican National Convention.

"As a war protester, Kerry blamed our military," said the Georgia senator in a fiery speech that drew repeated ovations from the GOP delegates in the hall. "As a senator, he voted to weaken our military."

The vice president hailed President Bush (news - web sites) as a "superb commander in chief" who has helped restore the economy since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and will lead the nation to victory in the war on terror. Bush "does not deal in empty threats and halfway measures," Cheney said in a prime-time speech at the convention podium delivered to a nationwide television audience.

Kerry spokesman Joe Lockhart instantly accused Republicans of "slash-and-burn politics" and said it won't work. "Dick Cheney and Zell Miller looked like angry and grumpy old men," he said.

Call them CRAZY, and certainly mistaken.

Good!

that the one who suffers from it is OUT OF CONTROL and a danger to themselves and others around them.

attacks kerry for not being able to make up his mind?

their nuclear programs, if not failed half-measures?

...is Cheney giving the Nazi salute in that picture?

Nice to see Lockhart already hittin' back hard too.

I think we have a new meme courtesy of Crazy Zell and Fearmonger Cheney.

Describes it accurately.


Emphasis on loony and irrational.

Probably NOT the story the Repubs want to see.

Lots of discussion tonight about the "good cop, bad cop" relationship between Bush and Cheney. "Cheney is the attack dog, Bush is the calm, self-assured leader, blah blah blah."

Cheney's first line of his speech tonight was "I'm sure glad Zell Miller is on our side," which...STRANGELY ENOUGH...is missing from the Fox News transcript (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,131204,00.html).

So Junior got to go to bed at his regular 10:00 PM nappy time while TWO attack dogs did his dirty work for him, and tomorrow he's got to go out there and explain...BEYOND HIS BASE...why promises that have not been kept for the last four years WILL be kept in the next four.

I can hardly wait.

"The following are remarks by Vice President Dick Cheney as prepared for delivery on September 1 at the 2004 Republican National Convention."

:toast:

Flying off the handle. Unstable. Wild men. Get 'em out of power before they hurt themselves!

I don't think all Dems knew what Clinton and then Gore were up against. The Repubs have just gotten bolder and more brazen with each election.

I truly believe that our country is in more danger than it has been since the country was founded. After all, if my native South had won the Civil War, the South would just have been a separate country, but the North would have remained free. Now if Bush wins again, there will be no free place in the U.S.

We didn't realize how bad these Republicans were until we saw them in action. A lot of people laughed at Hilary's comment about the "vast right-wing conspiracy."

Who's laughing now?
