Cheney pledges to continue "pro-growth, pro-jobs agenda" in 2nd term
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,131413,00.html

The vice president trumpeted Bush's second-term agenda, pledging to "continue our pro-growth, pro-jobs agenda." Cheney said the ticket will "make the Bush tax cuts permanent," "work to end lawsuit abuse," enact medical liability reform and put together "a comprehensive energy policy."

Of the Democrats, Cheney said: "Their big idea for the economy: raise our taxes," as the crowd booed.

In his 30-minute speech before a GOP-friendly crowd, Cheney ignored Kerry's criticism a day earlier in which the Democrat accused both the vice president and the president of avoiding service in Vietnam and being "unfit to lead the nation."

Responding to the comment, Anne Womack, Cheney's spokeswoman, said: "The Republicans just came out of a really exciting positive convention in which President Bush laid out an aggressive agenda for next four years. Senator Kerry's only response is to lash out and make personal attacks about the past. We think this election is about the future."

4. Is he running for president of China? That's where our jobs are growing.
Cheney knows he's going to be sued for the Halliburton scandal, that's why he loathes the law, they are the lawless bunch.

5. Ha Ha No ties
to avoid cutting whatever blood flow to the brain he has left. The "No Ties" is to make them look commoner. These goons will say and do anything to win.

"We will keep the sun rising" Cheney later said.

6. If someone had forced truth serum
down Cheney's ugly throat just before the speech, the crowd would have been treated to:

"I will continue our pro-war, pro-death agenda. Iraq will continue to be a profit center for Halliburton. In addition, I will invade Iran shortly after I'm sworn in, and will use your draft-age sons and daughters to do it. Many will return maimed for life or worst case, dead."

"I don't give a rat's ass about creating jobs here in the U.S., but I will continue to fight for the right of corporations to screw American workers with low pay, cuts in benefits, and stepped-up outsourcing."

"Health care will continue to be a privilege for the few. Those who can't afford it, shouldn't seek it. Those senior citizens who retired with considerable money will continue to enjoy the good life in gated retirement communities. Those not so fortunate would do us all a favor by dying."

"There is nothing more important, more sacred to me than tax cuts for the wealthy. The CEOs you work for and whose products you buy count on your taxes to subsidize their mansions, vacation homes, private jets, and private school educations for their children. Please don't let them down on Nov. 2."
