Re: "He may not be as good looking or as personable as Edwards..."

I think you are wrong. I was at the grocery store this afternoon and I over heard two women about my age (50s) and one said, "I think John Edwards looks like a ken doll."

The other replied, "I'd rather have a Cheney doll. He looks like he has all his parts and knows how to use them!"

Now, I'm male and think the Veep looks like a Vice-President should. John Edwards looks like a... Well, a crooked laywer!

[dufekin]

Well, no, not exactly. Kerry wouldn't merely adopt the Clinton strategy against terror (wait until a major scandal brews, then fire a $10 million cruise missile to blow a $10 empty tent into the dorsal end of a camel). He likely would adopt the same strategy that he used in Vietnam (the defining issue of this campaign). That meas open treason, siding with the terrorists, disparaging our military, encouraging kidnappers and demoralizing abductees, and blaming the victims of the terrorists.

But Kerry won't be elected, thank....

I just love Dick Cheney. He is blunt and to the point. He may not be as good looking or as personable as Edwards, but he is smart and knows his stuff. He is truely the right man for the job. He is not aiming to be President in 4 more years. He is actually serving America!

Cheney might as well ask Edwards if he wants to stand on the same stage with him every day, so that he can jump and whine even QUICKER whenever Cheney says anything.

Edwards reminds me of someone's little brother always hanging around and aping the big boys, but louder, and always finishing off with "my brother can beat you UP!"

Edwards is not ready for prime time, and anyone who pretends that he is might take a few minutes to reflect upon what doo-doo our country would be in if a not-completed-one term Senator, former trial lawyer, were suddenly in charge of the country.

John Edwards: The political equivalent of breast implants.

John Kerry: The political equivalent of a dildo.

(Think about it for a minute)

**Isn't it true, since 9-11-01, that the countries hit at home by terrorists are those that have displayed some significant degree of weakness? And those being hit in Iraq include the weak in addition to the strong? Based on recent history, a display of weakness is tantamount to begging to be hit.**

How correct Spain back tracked got hit, now Russia we keep saying in UK when are we going to get it but is it the case we have not been attached yet because we have not wavered.

"Who loves ya, baby?"

I do

He's right. Even a moron couldn't be confused at how simply he put it. Most Demoncrats are very DUMB.

I like it I am sure Lynne would agree but seriously Edwards tries to look and act much younger than he is so does Kerry and it just does not cut. The VP is 63 and acts 63 that does not mean he is out of touch and old in his thinking but behaves in a dignified manner.

Furthermore as the VP he has every right to warn people on security and to elect Kerry as your President IMHO would be a threat to your security.

If this campaign were Happy Days, Dick Cheney would be the Fonz and Edwards would be Potsie Webber.

[nohangups]

For whatever reason, Cheney seems to have offered a swift but unintelligible retraction --- at least of the DUmmies can be believed. I don't see signs of it anywhere else.

[usastandsunited]

Although I agree with the point I think Cheney was trying to get across, he definitely worded this wrong. He is setting the Bush administration up as saying if Bush is re-elected there will be no terrorist attacks on us. As good as a job Bush is doing with terrorism, its foolish to project the idea it won't happen on his clock.

[tm22721]

The Kerry-Edwards campaign immediately rejected those comments as "scare tactics"

No worse than Democrats scaring seniors about losing SSI. (another truism BTW).

BUMP

[Heff]

While I totally agree with our Vice President, I am not so sure its wise to play on the fear factor of if Kerry wins we'll get attacked

[QQQQQ]

I think Cheney's words were, well, "inelegant".

TRUTH is frequently "inelegant".

Do you consider Gore's words of calling Bush a traitor, "elegant"?

[petercooper]

Go Bigtime!

Dick Cheney is always on the mark he has a remarkable talent in identifying chinks in the army of the RATS. He can appear to be blunt but I think that is more his dry humour and honesty than bluntness.

Regarding good looking and personable as a 44 year old woman he does things for me that Edwards could not even dream of doing. He is manly comes over as comfortable and confident of who he is; obviously he has had strong woman around him all of his adult life (wife and daughters) which seems to enhance his masculinity not threaten it (think of Kerry and shove-it).

He is intelligent can think on his feet never is phased when asked questions may deflect for a few seconds whilst formulating a reply but this is simply to give a informed answer rather than knee jerk.

He is most certainly the right man for the job especially as he is not looking to be President in the future. Because of this he can say and do things that would not be politically correct because he is not looking to please future voters. This also allows the GOP to use him in this role I am certain as is said later on in this thread he never says things carelessly or without intent and I am sure this incident is the same.

Furthermore as the VP he has every right to warn people on security and to elect Kerry as your President IMHO would be a threat to your security.

Now Edwards is trying a different tactic -- if I hadn't heard this on The 700 Club last night I wouldn't have believed it. Edwards actually twisted Cheney's words and interpreted them to mean that "if you don't vote for our side, if there is terrorism it will be your (the people's) fault."

So, when your campaign is going badly, absolve yourself of any responsibility, twist the other guy's words, blame the American people and get them mad so they will vote for your side??

Kerry/Edwards have twisted minds. I hope this tactic backfires.
