Cheney's New Attack - starting tomorrow

[newsguyatl]

((ugh have i said how much i hate having to post anything election related in this room?))

anyway, here's the deal. apparently starting tomorrow, cheney's going to take on the following kerry quote from the unity conference: "I believe I can fight a more effective, more thoughtful, more strategic, more proactive, more sensitive war on terror that reaches out to other nations and brings them to our side and lives up to American values in history."


cheney will say that a 'sensitive war' won't destroy the enemies who killed 3,000 americans on 9/11, yadda, yadda.

more of the "girly men" type attacks from the rethugs.

we can expect much more of this in the future. typical schoolyard bully type tactics... like, "hey sissy boy!"


this is what we're up against folks.


just a heads up.

[Union Thug]

1. Yeah, and we all know Dickhead Cheney...

...is a real tough guy. Pushing all that paper for so many years really turns a man into a stone cold, hard ass killer.

Guess what Cheney... YOU ARE A LIGHTWEIGHT... A PANSY...

[Cha]

2. I just hope Kerry has a headsup on this so he

can have a real answer ready for those twisters.

It really is a war of words.

5. You mean that coward Cheney?

Who spent most of the last two years hiding in his "secret" bunker?

Who screens all his crowds so he doesn't have to face a heckler?

Cheney is a giant pussy

6. SligItly OT - had a professor in college in CO named...................

John Cheney who looked an AWFUL lot like Dickhead himself, and during the Reagan administration I asked the guy if he was related to Dickhead and he vehemently denied it, but they are both from WYO. I always wondered if he was pulling my leg...........amybe brothers?? JC was a parasitologist. Kinda makes one think............

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following was released by Kerry-Edwards 2004:

Today, Cheney Was Quick To Criticize Kerry's "Deeply Held Convictions" But He Has Failed To Explain Why He Has Taken Positions On Both Sides of Key Issues.

Kerry spokesman Phil Singer: "Dick Cheney is out of credibility and is representing a campaign that is so desperate it will say anything to distract attention from a record that has made the country less safe and secure. The fact is that George Bush has overseen an economy that has lost a million jobs, seen deficits hit record highs and watched health care and other household expenses hit new heights. John Kerry knows we can do better and has a plan to make America stronger at home and respected in the world."

10. That'll go places

Considering the "War on Terror" is not just a war of bullets and bombs, but also one of hearts and minds, I think we should fight a more sensitive war. But don't let that bother Dick "Five college defferments" Cheney and his adoring throngs, who think "Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out" is sound foreign policy.

12. Kerry has earned the right to "insensitive" but chooses "sensitive"

Dick "5 deferrments" Cheney hasn't earned the right to criticize Kerry's sensitivity or otherwise. Neither have Bush or Rumsfailed, since none of them saw the horrors of combat.

Kerry chooses "sensitive", even though he has seen plenty enough to make him "insensitive". The more unenlightened a person is the more insensitive they are.
