Cheney Back Delivering the Grim Campaign Speech
Democrats Cast As Foils to the Nation's Security

MILWAUKEE -- Vice President Cheney sometimes starts speeches with a Ronald Reagan quotation about a "happy" nation needing "hope and faith." But not much happy talk follows. Not a lot of hope, either. He does, though, talk about the prospect of "mass death in the United States."

The not-so-happy warrior of the past two campaign cycles is back on the road delivering a grim message about danger, defeatism and the stakes of the coming election. If it is not a joyful exercise, it is at least a relentless one. Even with poll ratings lower than President Bush's, Cheney has become a more ubiquitous presence on the campaign trail than in the last midterm election.

He takes on not only the traditional vice presidential assignment of slicing up the opposition but also the Cassandra role of warning about dire threats to the nation's security. While others get distracted by Capitol Hill scandal, Cheney remains focused on the terrorists, who are, as he says in his stump speech, "still lethal, still desperately trying to hit us again." Bush, he says, is "protecting America" while the Democrats advocate "reckless" policies that add up to a "strategy of resignation and defeatism in the face of determined enemies."

But the message is carefully targeted. More than half of Cheney's fundraisers in this two-year cycle have been behind closed doors. Even at a lunchtime speech to Wisconsin Republican donors that was open to reporters, gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mark Green did not stand on stage, ensuring no pictures of the two together on the news, and some other Republican candidates did not attend at all.

Ole Darth Cheney - he never disappoints.

[DoYouEverWonder]

1. They should just rename Cheney the Grim Reaper

He sure knows how to suck the life out of a room.

Doom and gloom is his only message.

[SharonAnn]

2. Darth Cheny - The Emperor Palpatine - Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

[IndianaGreen]

6. Like Palpatine, Cheney would nuke an American city

if that's what it takes to keep power. Bush and Cheney are the two most evil men in the 21st century.

[Delphinus]

23. I hope we all remember this

when they pull their next "9-11" style attack. We'll need to remember that nothing is what it seems - NOTHING.

[madrchsod]

3. he`s talking to no one

no one cares what he says anymore.......

[olddad56]

12. Cheney Back Delivering the Grim [REAPER} Campaign Speech

GOP slogan: The only thing we have is fear, itself.

[0007]

15. 'Was a classic Olbermann delivery......

...just like the top of Cheney's head

[daleo]

14. It's mass death to go hunting with Cheney.

"Cheney remains focused on the quail and Texas lawyers, who are, as he says in his stump speech, "still lethal, still desperately trying to hit us again."

[Beetwasher]

16. Cheney Merits Page A14

Actually, that's still pretty generous come to think of it.

[Amonester]

19. "The not-so-happy warrior" (!!)

The not-so-happy five deferments warrior (uh?) dreams to see more thousands of Americans suffer and die, like he did at the PNAC when herr, wolfie, libby, and himself formed the pack of liars and intel-manipulators who wrote about how much they needed a new Pearl (9) Harbor (11) to get richer at the expense of the working-class's blood and money...

Now he talks like if they need a new (9)(11) to keep his puppet's power to torture anybody they want to 'disappear' anytime they want.

It's not like he ever really produced any plan that would have sealed all container docks and freight flights so the evil terrarisses would have a very hard time attacking us again...

So what happens to their "fight them there so we won't have to fight them here" propaganda now, huh? :mad:

[Lindacooks]

20. Oh, I don't think it would be possible for a Democratic government to top

YOUR mass deaths, you vampire.

Hundreds of thousands dead directly because of YOUR ACTIONS, Cheney.

Effing liar.

[Hissyspit]

21. "Zero Credibility"

and zero morality.

[moondust]

22. Mr. Delusional shows his face in public?

One of these days when he is bold enough to show his ugly fucking mug somebody is going to grab him by the raisins and haul his criminal ass off to the Hague in the name of justice and security.

[BigDDem]

24. Go Team Terror!!

BOO!

[tabasco]

25. Go back to hell from whence you came, demon.

Cheney deserves a jail cell for his role in launching the unnecessary Iraq war.

[Phredicles]

26. Well, we know what topic excites Mr. Dick's passion.

An truly odious, frightening excuse for a human being.

[Demeter]

27. Only THIS Time, The Victims Will Be Your Buddies

Bye bye Cheney.

[YDogg]

29. he's a fuckin' one-trick pony, yo.

[Rex]

30. All Cheney knows how to talk about is mass death and destruction.

Just ask the guy he shot in the face. :eyes:

[JPZenger]

31. Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

300,000 containers of deadly Sarin gas, weapons grade plutonium, mobile chemical-biological weapons production trucks, ... oops that was the old speech.

[Kingofalldems]

[Supersedeas]

38. Republican Donor more than willing to pay for their two minutes of HATE

[hippiechick]

35. Someone needs to tell him to STOP THE BULLSHIT.

Preferably a small child in one of his audiences.
In front of a tv camera.
"Excuse me Mr. Vice President? You're a liar. And a bad man for trying to make everyone so afraid."

Bastard. :mad:

Trying to fear-monger the country into doing what he wants, like some twisted babysitter's boyfriend trying to scare the kiddies into their bedrooms with boogey-man stories so they can get it on before the parents come home.

Evil selfish fuck.
Gawd that man is a canker.


:spank: :spank: :spank:

[BigDDem]

36. Ok, I think I got it

we want the mass death to happen OVER THERE and not OVER HERE.
Cuz that's what Jesus would want.

[Ilsa]

37. I bet he pulls his jacket

around to cover his erection when he says that.

[Akoto]

39. Ironic that he's so concerned about everyone dying from nukes ...

... Yet he seems ignorant of the fact that the planet's turning into a giant broiler anyhow.

[NastyRiffraff]

41. Where were YOU, you monster....

From January to September 11, 2001?

Yeah, right. In your rathole...er...bunker.

Burn in hell, Cheney.
