Ad blasting Cheney's ties to company timed to visit

[stevedeshazer]

Republicans depict the TV spot concerning Halliburton as misleading one day before the vice president arrives in Oregon

When Vice President Dick Cheney arrives today in Oregon, he will be greeted by a new television commercial suggesting that he has profited from work done in Iraq by Halliburton Inc., the giant Texas oil services and construction company he headed before President Bush chose him as his running mate.

Titled "Cheney Halliburton," the 30-second commercial is being broadcast first in Oregon to coincide with the Cheney visit. It marks the first time that the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry has directly attacked Cheney on his ties to his former company.

The commercial begins with Cheney saying, "I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven't had now for over three years," according to a transcript that was made available to The Oregonian on Thursday.

A narrator then adds: "The truth: As vice president, Dick Cheney received $2 million from Halliburton. Halliburton got billions in no bid contracts in Iraq. Dick Cheney got $2 million, What did we get? A $200 billion bill for Iraq. Lost jobs. Rising health care costs. It's time for a new direction."
