Democrats have come up with a new line of attack line against John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin, saying she's another Dick Cheney.
Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) described Palin as a member of the "flat-earth caucus," who McCain picked purely to please the conservative base.
"With the choice of Gov. Palin, it’s the third term of Dick Cheney," Kerry said on ABC News' "This Week." "He’s chosen somebody who doesn’t believe climate change is man-made."
Kerry added that Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters should be offended if people suggest Palin was selected to draw some of the female vote away from the Barack Obama-Joe Biden ticket.
"It’s almost insulting to the Hillary supporters," Kerry said, calling Palin a "Cheneyesque social conservative who’s going to satisfy the base. John McCain is a prisoner of the right wing, not a maverick."
The Republican counter attack has been to play up Palin's credentials as "commander in chief" of the Alaska National Guard, with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), saying "she’s tough, she’s talented, she’s ready to lead. … compard to Sen. Obama, she’s qualified beyond belief.”
Nah, she's a much better shot.
...And this from a LOSER!
It’s odd that only Graham is the only republican senator out there fighting for Palin.....what givres?

My ‘sister’ don’t miss when she aims her gun.
Most Americans now think that Anthropogenic Global Warming is bs and they want that dastardly oil.
The guy has a tin ear and an empty skull.
“Whata maroon!”
Is this the same Kerry... uhm.. you know.. huh.. the one who went to Vietnam?
Uh, John Kerry needs to get his eyeglass prescription checked......
Funny, the Cheney analogy actually applies to the Obama-Biden ticket, where you have the inexperienced greenhorn on the top of the ticket dependent upon the VP to provide the experience. It is actually the point the media should be making against Biden but have not.
Kerry is right in a “nuanced” way. Cheney can/would kill you with his bare hands while Palin can/would use a caribou skinning knife.
Uh, why would Palin be an insult to Hillary supporters, John? Hopefully, Kerry will keep his mouth running. He comes up with inanities as often as Biden.
Good one!
They’ve got nothing to go on, the worst candidate in history in NObomba, a drunk for a VP, so the most they can do is “Bush-Cheney, Bush-Cheney”
Incredibly juvenile conduct for grown ups.
John, there are some out here who would consider that a compliment.
Kerry go wound yourself again.
the night the lights went out in Georgia
Maybe the other ones are scared that Palin will eat all of their PORK.

The trouble with Biden is that he's Bidenesque.
