Leaked: Cheney To Make Fun of Kerry in Remarks Today
Leaked: Cheney to make fun of Kerry in remarks today

RAW STORY
Published: Wednesday November 1, 2006


EXCERPT OF THE VICE PRESIDENT’S REMARKS AT MONTANA VICTORY RALLY As Prepared for Delivery

As released to reporter pool. Vice President Cheney's joke? Kerry "was for the joke before he was against it."

Time and time again, we're seeing examples of Democratic Party leaders apparently having lost their perspective concerning the nature of the enemy we face, and the need to wage this fight aggressively. No sharper example can be found than the Democratic Party chairman himself, Howard Dean, who said the capture of Saddam Hussein didn't make America any safer. And maybe it should be no surprise that such a party would turn its back on a man like Senator Joe Lieberman, who has been an unapologetic supporter of the fight against terror.

Instead they highlight people like John Kerry, their presidential nominee in 2004. Aren’t we lucky he lost that election? You remember John Kerry – the senator who voted for the 87 billion dollars before he voted against it … the guy that was always lecturing us about “nuances.” He’s the one, you’ll recall, who last year said that American soldiers were “terrorizing … children” in Iraq. And just this week he took another swipe at the U. S. military. Here’s what he said, word for word. Quote: “You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” End quote. Well, apparently Senator Kerry’s the one who needs to be educated.

Of course, now Senator Kerry says he was just making a joke, and he botched it up. I guess we didn’t get the nuance. He was for the joke before he was against it.

As a leading Democratic senator, John Kerry needs to learn that the men and women serving in Iraq aren’t there because they didn’t study hard or do their homework. The all-volunteer force represents the very best of this country. They’re smart, patriotic, exceptionally well trained, and dedicated to their mission. They are heroes, and they are the pride of the United States of America.

Cheney is a worthless, evil, POS, who is responsibile for the deaths of tens of thousands

It would be a real shame if his defibulator didn't work properly in the middle of his speech

7. No we don't and no we wont
Cheney is acting like a cornered animal. Let him claw and growl all he wants, it just makes him look more like a cornered animal.

8. Go ahead, Cheney.
Give Kerry a gold-plated excuse to open an extra large can of whup ass on Halliburton and war profiteering. Not only have you wasted the lives of far too many American soldiers, you're driving the country into debt to line your pockets. Yeah, now's a great time to remind everyone of that.

9. Ouch...
...got to admit, that's really ingeniously sneaky. Hell of a punch line. It gets the discourse deeper and further into Kerry and even alludes to the last election rather than back onto the real issues of '06. No wonder these guys win so much.

They're so damned good at being sleazy and misleading! :scared:

I would believe in a god if Cheney were to spontaneously combust while making his comments today.

12. Hey Cheney, Kerry saw real combat, all you did was shoot an old
guy in the face while on a hunting trip.
