Cheney says Democrats soft on national security


MILWAUKEE, Sept 25 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday accused Democrats of being soft in the war on terrorism with a strategy of "resignation and defeatism in the face of determined enemies."

Cheney, in a speech to Wisconsin Republicans, singled out in particular Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, West Virginia Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean for criticism.

...

Cheney cited Reid for suggesting the United States should not have invaded Iraq in 2003 even if it meant leaving Saddam Hussein in power and for opposing the Patriot Act, controversial laws passed with the goal of fighting terrorism. He criticized Dean for saying the capture of Saddam had not made America safer.

"As we make our case to the voters in this election season, it's vital to keep issues of national security at the top of the agenda," Cheney said.

Cheney in particular attacked Democrats for turning their backs on Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, now running as an independent after losing his state's Democratic primary in August to anti-war candidate Ned Lamont.

1. OK, that's it. Let Big Dog off his leash to go after Cheney now that

he's had his exercise with Chris Wallace . . . .

[LSparkle]

7. Absolutely -- take off the fucking gloves, Bill and go get him!!!!

That mad dog NEEDS taking down ...

[Tellurian]

30. When you engage someone in an argument...YOU pick your own

battles...The press would love to see Bill lose it..
That is defiantly a self-defeating plan, especially
when the Pugglies are doing such a good job hanging
themselves on their own!

[annabanana]

2. This Dem says Cheney soft in the head

Sorry, but this crazy old croaker has been lying for so long that only the loonybin is listening.

[Dr.Phool]

14. You beat me to it!

Dead-eye, soft-head, dickhead.

[Kikosexy2]

23. This Ol' Dick...

is just a soft, limp-dick...Viagra anyone?

[pinerow]

3. Democrats say Cheney is soft in the head...

film at eleven...:toast:

[whistle]

4. And Bush/Cheney have their fingers on the hair trigger to WW III

...plus they use intimidation diplomacy.

[kurth]

5. Go fuck yourself, asshole

[Avalux]

6. Cheney's a lying dog -

no one believes him except the kool-aid dringers. If they think his statements will sway people for the election they're mistaken.

[truthisfreedom]

8. Democratic Party announces "cheney is hard on national security"

"and may have damaged it permanently."

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. It's certainly a risk to be taking that position at this point in the game

Particularly in light of the leaked intelligence report that claims that we are now worse off because
of his terror war.

[aquart]

48. Cheney reminds me of an old tv skit.

A woman comes home to find her husband in bed with another woman. While the wife sputters and yells, the husband and girlfriend get out of bed, get dressed, make the bed, kiss goodbye, girlfriend leaves, and husband sits down to read the evening paper. Finally, the wife doubts her own eyes and goes to fix dinner.

Cheney reminds me of the husband. Let's stop being the wife.

10. Go suck on your colostomy bag, DICK.

Lying bitch...

[dave29]

11. "Vote for us, or I'll shoot you in the face"

.

[riona]

12. Sorry Mr. V.P

We know democracy is inconvenient for you.
:rofl:

[maxrandb]

13. In the words of the Big Dog

"that dog don't hunt".

Let's see...hmmm...9/11 happened while the Repukes controlled the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and had appointed about 75% of all judges in the Judicial Branch. They controlled all tentacles of our governments power, and yet they couldn't stop 19 religious fanatics from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Yeman from stealing 4 of our civilian aircraft and flying them into the WTC, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania.

"Hey Dick, where'd you learn that? In some Pentagon lounge, Sailor want a hump-hump, me love you long time whore house? Sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up here"

[Zynx]

15. Who takes him seriously anymore?

"Iraq and Al-Qaeda are joined at the hip." "The insurgency is in its last throes." "The war has made American safer."

Honestly, how can anyone take him at his word?

[Ishoutandscream2]

38. Yes, second verse, same as the first

He keeps spewing lie after lie after lie. Only his diehard supporters believe him now.

[lyonn]

16. So, Cheney cited Reid for being against the Iraq invasion?

Reid is so right on that one, next cheney - -

Howard Dean said we are no safer with Saddam captured, right again, Dean was correct and cheney wrong - -

Keep talking cheney and maybe Lieberman will take a justified dive in the coming election. Then he can integrate Joe into this dirty administration.

[Jack Rabbit]

17. . . . and in other news . . .

OJ Simpson said for the umpteenth time, "I didn't do it" and announced that he is still looking for the real killer, but the trail is getting cold. "That's because I took a shower this morning, but the water heater went out."

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Soft? Like the VP's brain matter? Go Cheney yourself, Dick.

[rodeodance]

19. GET the H> out of my state !!

[Xipe Totec]

20. This, from the guy with five military deferrals

You're mighty brave behind a desk, Dick...

[trogdor]

21. ...and in other news...

...barbers almost unanimously declare that most men aren't having their hair cut often enough.

Really. Cheney says this about once a week, and it's still news. Oh, and Gen. Francisco Franco is still dead.

[Miss Chybil]

22. Moon base to Cheney. Moon base to Cheney.

The majority of Americans believe it was wrong to attack Iraq. Over.

[Monkeyman]

24. Soft huh cut and ran piece of crap then why

The Council on Global Terrorism , and Independent body give the U.S D's And C's on our efforts to fight the global war on terror

[0007]

25. A man with an 18% popularity isn't going change a thing. Cheney

is doing no better than jacking off his jaws.

[rodeodance]

26. he does manage to rake in lots of money (see rest of article)

[aquart]

49. Yes, the one percent with all the money love him.

Why shouldn't they? He's like a guard dog who helped the theives carry out the money.

[leftofcool]

27. Are you still alive asshole?

I thought maybe your pacemaker had given out by now.

Left of Cool

[BigDDem]

28. Does anyone pay attention to this idiot?

I mean seriously, who the fuck cares?
He's been wrong about EVERYTHING to do with Iraq.

[ima_sinnic]

29. go back under yr rock, you repulsive piece of S**T--that is SO 2003!!

apparently The Dick came hard-wired with only 3 or 4 phrases.
besides an extreme makeover to cure the fact that he looks like something in the back of my refrigerator from last March, he needs his disc updated, plus a transfusion of fresh chlorine and ammonia--he runs on poison gas, y'know.

[Lost-in-FL]

31. And again, Cheney shooting blanks?

:rofl: :rofl:

He is so brave. He is starting to look like Osama. When people wonder where he is, he comes out of his cave and says something stupid.

[Generator]

32. That's a new one

I think it's time for an Osama tape and video, don't you boys and girls?

[shanti]

33. wash, rinse, repeat

soooooo predictable :eyes:

[Lars39]

34. Sounds like he's doing pre-emptive damage control

from what the hearings will bring.

[freefall]

35. Did anyone hear James Fallows on the Diane Rehm (NPR radio)

show on September 15th? Cheney's name came up and Fallows commented that 30 years ago during the transition from the Nixon to Carter Whitehouse Cheney was affable, non-partisan and easy to deal with. The guest host, Susan Page, asked Fallows what he thought had happened. Fallows said that people who have heart trouble at an early age often show personality changes and speculated that that was Cheney's problem. I have thought for a long time that Cheney was too mentally ill for the job. Personally, I don't care what his problem is; I just hope we get rid of him before too many others die for his and his puppet's mistakes.

Peace,

[LeftishBrit]

36. Cheney is pure evil

As I said on another thread, I smell sulphur coming through my computer whenever I see him mentioned.

Chavez was right about someone being the devil; but he was very slightly wrong about who it is...

[DemGa]

37. Cheney has made many statements that have proven false n/t

[lpbk2713]

39. Interesting that Deadeye Dick should say this.

Just less than a week ago two 16 year-old kids drove a stolen car right through the main gate at MacDill AFB in Tampa, home of the Central Command where all the top brass make all the high level decisions in the ME. The main gate was redesigned and "improved" recently at a price of several million dollars. The kids drove right past the CentCom HQ in their joyride around the base. Nice security there, Deadeye.

Forget Osama bin Laden, shoulder-fired missiles and the dirty bomb below deck. Five years after 9/11, and untold billions in security spending later, the government still can't keep two joyriding teens from crashing onto MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, the headquarters of American military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.


Needless to say, they could have been "tairists" and had several hundred pounds of C4 or a dirty nuke device in their trunk.


And in another instance of lax security within the last few days..... A man drove his car right up to the Capitol Building in DC and went wildly running through the corridors. And it should be noted he was apprehended by civilian workers, not security or military types.



Yeah, Deadeye, your security is top notch.

MILWAUKEE -- U.S. Vice President Cheney told Republicans in Milwaukee on Monday that the Bush administration won't relent in the war on terror and will prevail.

.........

He said that voters need to be reminded of the differences between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to fighting terrorism. He said that the Bush administration remains committed to fighting the war in Iraq -- and that withdrawing troops now would only embolden terrorists and lead to more death later.

Cheney addressed about 110 people at a luncheon. The cost to attend the luncheon at the Pfister Hotel was $1,000 per person or $5,000 for two tickets and a photo with the vice president.

The vice president was scheduled to leave the state immediately after the luncheon.

Meanwhile, former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to be in Milwaukee on Oct. 24 to raise money for current Gov. Jim Doyle.

4. Another terrorist attack on the U.S.: Anthrax. The case is never solved.
5. 6 Mo. after 9-11, Bush calls of hunt for OBL
6. Invasion of Iraq makes a hornests nest for terrorists.

groove of really shitty skips. Fuck him and his face shooting bullshit. It's old. I do wish they would come up with something different. The same old shit is getting to be just the same old shit of the same old shit. I am glad their mascot is an elephant.
