Cheney Says America Faces 'Defining Moment'
NEW YORK (Reuters)


Vice President Dick Cheney, taking center stage at the Republican convention on Wednesday, called the November election a "defining moment" when Americans will make a fundamental choice about the country's long-term security. ..

"On the question of America's role in the world, the differences between Senator Kerry and President Bush are the sharpest, and the stakes for the country are the highest."

Kerry, making an appearance before the nation's largest veterans' group, offered a harsh critique of Bush's leadership on the war and what Kerry said was a failure to make any plans for peace in Iraq.

"When it comes to Iraq, it's not that I would have done one thing differently, I would have done everything differently," Kerry said in Nashville, Tennessee, in a speech to the American Legion. ..

1. I think it's a deafening moment
the sound of shrill, fear-mongering right wing hooligans demanding they be allowed to keep their loot.

4. I believe by "stakes" he's referring to money, no?

5. Yes, a defining moment like Germany in 1936
Brought to you by the Grandchildren of Hitler's Money Launderer.

Liberal Democracy or Totalitarian Darkness.

The choice is essentially the same. One wonders if the choice will be the same.

Simply put, it would not surprise me in the least to see the Imperial Subjects of Amerika CHOOSE Virtual Enslavement and the same choices as the 1936 Germans...
