Cheney stumps in NV: "President Bush has a clear vision for the future"
http://www.georgewbush.com/News/Read.aspx?ID=3286

"Vice President Cheney in Nevada, Proud of Support for Winning War on Terror"

(NOTE from yer pal Bush_Eats_Beef: Apparently the latest gimmick on the BC04 campaign trail is to say that the city is "beautiful," quickly followed by "it looks like Bush-Cheney country." Bush did it in Michigan: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x628488)

"Elko is beautiful place, a fantastic part of the West, and by the looks of things today, it is Bush-Cheney country. (Applause.)

Now, some of you might have noticed there was a little political gathering up in Boston here a couple weeks ago. Some people watched it. But not many, that's right. (Laughter.) But it's now official -- it's now official, I have an opponent. (Laughter.) No, I really do. I have an opponent. People keep telling me that Senator Edwards got picked because he's sexy, good looking, charming, and has great hair. (Laughter.) And I said, "How do you think I got the job?" (Laughter and applause.)

Under the President's leadership, we have driven the Taliban from power in Afghanistan and closed down the camps where terrorists trained to kill Americans. (Applause.) Under the President's leadership, we rid the world of a gathering threat by eliminating the regime of Saddam Hussein. (Applause.) Sixteen months ago, Saddam controlled the lives and future of nearly 25 million people. Today, he's in jail. (Applause.)

On issue after issue, President Bush has a clear vision for the future of our nation. Abroad, we'll use America's great power to serve great purposes, to protect our homeland by turning back and defeating the forces of terror, and to spread hope and freedom throughout the world. Here at home, we will continue building prosperity that reaches every corner of the land so that every child in America has a chance to learn, to succeed, and to rise in the world."

3. His vision: Selling out America to the highest bidder
and then rewrite the constitution to

- stop women from voting
- re-instate slavery
- make dissent a crime punishable by death

9. Wow - where is that? That's some crowd. Did any of them have to sign a
loyalty oath? I didn't think so.

12. Portland, I believe. A crowd of 50,000+ came to see John Kerry.
Edited on Tue Aug-17-04 03:05 PM by elperromagico
That's a record for Portland, IIRC. And no, they didn't have to sign anything. :D

8. He HAD a vision for Iraq also that involved candy and flowers and
our troops being greeted as liberators. He was right about the candy and flowers part - only they were being tossed at the Sadr's fighters, not our troops. Oh well, he was half correct. In baseball that would be a batting average of .500. Not bad for a dry drunk.

11. "Gathering Threat," Huh? I've Got A Few Quotes In My Pocket...
Wasn't Cheney saying last week that there is an enormous nuclear space station run by Saddam from jail, set to blow up the Earth? Can you prove that it isn't there? Definitively?

Crime has risen, more homeless on the streets, fear and terra reign.
