Cheney Says Kerry Lacks Deep Convictions

[JI7]

<Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday that Democratic Sen. John Kerry lacks "deeply held convictions about right and wrong" as he argued that voters would make a grave mistake if they replaced the current commander in chief.

Campaigning for the Bush-Cheney ticket in this swing state, the vice president opened the session with some of his harshest criticism of Kerry, saying he wouldn't trust the four-term lawmaker to make decisions about going to war.

"We don't want to turn that responsibility over to somebody who doesn't have deeply held convictions about right and wrong," Cheney said. "And I must say, I look at the record of our opponents. There is a lot of hesitation and uncertainty."

Outside the hand-picked crowd, even in this conservative part of the state, Cheney had his critics. But they knew they were in the minority.

"I wish I could tell you how we really feel _ they'd throw us out," said Leroy Jackson of Joplin, retired from a trucking company, who was talking politics with his wife over eggs at Denny's. >

[libhill]

2. So, uh

who gives a rats ass what Cheney says? He's a greedy, corporate controlled, foul mouthed sack of shit.

[jpgray]

3. Cheney also lacks convictions, but let's see how the litigations proceed

:D

[OK_DemX2]

5. Cheney is committed to Cheney, and if that is what they are

wanting from the President, they need to re-read the manual!

[amber dog democrat]

8. concur

He'd look great in an orange jumpsuit.

[emulatorloo]

19. LOL - you made my day. . . . n/t

[Eurobabe]

26. my exact thoughts!

Bunr baby burn!!!

[Bozita]

4. Yep, no convictions. Kerry has never even been arrested

Unlike Bush and Cheney.

[JI7]

6. HAHHAHAHAH

good one, the Kerry campaign needs to use that to respond to this.

[Jack from Charlotte]

7. Good show, Bozita.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

30. Wrong. Kerry was arrested as a protestor in 1971

[Bozita]

32. I stand corrected

Thanks.

[gulliver]

34. Wrong. Was he convicted of anything? n/t

Bush and Cheney were both convicted of DUI.

[Fridays Child]

9. With "deep convictions" like Cheney's who needs fascism?

In Bushworld, everyone who rejects their extremist radical agenda lacks deep convictions.

[young_at_heart]

10. I guess Cheney is THE authority on "right and wrong"

I sure trust his deep convictions.....war and more war! Maybe he could be honest about those secret meetings finally since he seems to have an insiders' knowledge of right and wrong!

[grytpype]

11. Kerry: Too Smart to be Presnit!

He thinks before he acts!

He doesn't love Jeebus hard enough!

He does not resemble a chimp or other low member of the food chain!

How can a man like that be presnit???????

[TrogL]

12. You mean deeply held convictions in

• black and white
  
• conservatism
  
• good for bidness
  

[KamaAina]

13. Are you sure that's the real headline?

Shouldn't it read "Cheney Says Kerry Lacks DUI Convictions"?

:-)

[merh]

14. merh says Cheneyf'u should be convicted!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a piece of garbage :mad: :nuke: :mad:

[Cocoa]

15. wouldn't that be sweet

[Rose Siding]

16. Nasty old man

That's an ugly thing to say. Thank goodness it was said by someone held in such low approval by so many.

[Ernesto]

17. Cheney lacks a heart & guts

How many Nam deferments did you have there Mr tough guy? And how's that ticker you heartless bastard?

[shrdlu]

24. Too right...

Cheney used all regular deferments and then knocked up the lovely Lynn in order to get an additional parental deferment. When queried about Vietnam service he claimed "other priorities."

[Ernesto]

36. s... you are the stuff!

fight on amigo

[kskiska]

18. When Dick had to choose between right and wrong

– whether to enlist to defend his country or not – he chose not to, and has no regrets. So much for his convictions.

[Swamp Rat]

20. Said by a man who lacks a soul

Cheney has no empathy for living things unrelated to Cheney.

[ChrisK]

21. Does this man NEVER change his mind about anything?

I mean come on, the mind is always active and always "thinking", Its the more logical idea that ones own mind changes when more information is passed its way...to be stuck in one mind-set for any human is wrong.

He is trying to say that Kerry is a "flip-flopper" without saying it..like he tried to get folks to put Saddam and 9/11 on the same page and it didn't work, well for the persons out there seeing the bigger picture it didn't.

I always find it funny that he and Bush seems to have very little to trump about in there three plus years so they have to distract folks with jabs at Kerry or Edwards...Maybe if he talked about the war..I mean the jobs...no wait..the capture of Bin Laden...umm...there was that book reading with the kids...oh jeez....Oh yea the tax cuts that helps the poor..no I mean the rich...forget it.

Maybe to him "deeply held convictions" mean "If you screw up you never have to say your sorry" :think:

[BayouBengal07]

22. What the Cheney is this doing on the Yahoo news front page?

This is front page headlining news?

[BayouBengal07]

23. Check this out!

http://news.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?action=m&board=37138469&tid=apcheney&sid=37138469&mid=1

Someone on the board posted about Bushs 1971 back-alley abortion, and it got 70 recommendations as a post!

[lostnfound]

25. Kerry lacks a deep ideology..

and that's a good thing.

[AspenRose]

27. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

*gasp* *wheeze*

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That Cheney sure is somethin' ain't he? (feel free to fill in the gaps on exactly WHAT he is)

[PurityOfEssence]

28. Why, there's nothing this guy'd lie, cheat and murder for

And he calls himself a man.

Cheney, like all reactionaries, mistakes nuance for confusion.

[Cha]

29. Too bad ..you ugly son of a bitch...Kerry is going

to be your President!

[BadGimp]

31. is anyone seeing the real intent here?

"We don't want to turn that responsibility over to somebody who doesn't have deeply held convictions about right and wrong,"

This is such wedge creating psycho speak. It's sickening really the depth of depravity they have sunk to here. For them to presuppose that they have the divinity to know another persons depth of conviction is disgusting, when what they are really saying is we are more moral then them.

[paulie5]

33. Conviction you say??

So Kerry lacks conviction.  That's a real laugh considering
Cheney should be convicted, (of fraud, war crimes, theft  just
to name the least offensive crap this thug has pulled.  Maybe
Kerry lacks a conviction, but that's because he hasn't
committed any crimes.

What a complete bag of slime this asshole is.  Can you say
convicted and sentenced to life w/o the possibility of parole.
 Can you spell ENRON.  You still need to cook those books a
while longer before they are ready for the paper shredder.  

He's the only person in the entire world that I wish a
pacemaker malfunction to happen to.  When he dies we can
cremate him in a coal fired power plant.  That ought to black
out the entire east coast for a while.  But it will be mucho
fun knowing that such an evil force has come to it's surreal
demise.  

Get the impression I don't like this fucker.  If you do then
you're right as rain.

[Old and In the Way]

35. Welcome onboard paulie5!

Cheney talking about convictions? What a joke. The only deep conviction he has is to lining his pockets with ill-gotten profits.

Hey Dick, how was your deep conviction in 1998 when yu were CEO of Halliburton and doing business with Iraq....against US trade sanctions?

This man is the last guy on the planet to be commenting on convictions. They just don't make scumbags like Dick Cheney anymore.

[Tight_rope]

37. Ignorance is a disease that Cheney is truly suffering from.

[kodi]

38. when men of conviction were needed, kerry was there and cheney hid

too busy to serve his country.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

39. What a clown

<Campaigning for the Bush-Cheney ticket in this swing state, the vice president opened the session with some of his harshest criticism of Kerry, saying he wouldn't trust the four-term lawmaker to make decisions about going to war>

Considering what you've got us into and how you prefaced the reasons for going to war with Iraq, that's a bit rich Dick

<"We don't want to turn that responsibility over to somebody who doesn't have deeply held convictions about right and wrong,">

That's the best reason I've heard yet not to vote for Bush-Cheney O4

[Norquist Nemesis]

40. Voters making a "Grave mistake"????

That sure sounds like a threat to me. :scared:
