Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) said Sunday that Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) had turned his back on U.S. troops to get ahead politically, as the vice president began a nonstop leg of campaigning that will take him to Hawaii.

Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, "is not a steadfast leader. Our president is," Cheney told hundreds of Republican supporters at stops in Ohio and Michigan.

Cheney started the day in Toledo, pressing one of the campaign's most consistent lines of attack on Kerry's Senate vote against $87 billion to help finance the U.S. war in Iraq. President Bush's re-election campaign says the Massachusetts senator voted as he did because of the then-surging anti-war candidate Howard Dean. Kerry has rejected the accusation.

Cheney said that Kerry "in order to advance himself turned his back on the troops."

Kerry campaign spokesman Phil Singer responded: "John Kerry has spent the better part of his career on behalf of the military. The senator has been concerned about the consequences of giving the president a blank check and we're seeing the consequences of that in Iraq. It's a tragedy."

His words ain't worth a damn.

[clydefrand]

17. Pig

He is playing with the little grandchildren for photo ops. I notice he cannot stand much anymore.

I don't often do this because it makes me too depressed, but I did the Iraq slideshow just now. I cannot bear
to see the pictures of little Iraqi children bare feet, with wreckage in the background looking with fear upon the soldiers. Nothing but carnage, blown up cars, and blown up and shot marines who also look like children to me. Marines dragging a shot comrade down steps and trying to treat him.

and these pigs--these filthy pigs reaping in the bucks, who were responsible for all this death and destruction and continue to put soldiers in harm's way.

May Cheney and the rest never ever sleep a full night;s sleep again without suffering severe pains of guilt and shame.As if these pigs could ever have anything resembling a conscience.

20. In August 2003, imminent danger pay was to have been cut by $75 a month

157,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan were to have their pay cut. It became a political embarrassment and the White House quickly backpedaled. Talk about "turning your back on the troops". How does Cheney get away with this?

'Old Tricks' Transcript

TITLE: George Bush is up to his old tricks.

McCAIN: But what really went over the line Bush had a event and he paid for it and stood next to a spokesman for a fringe veterans group. That fringe veteran said that John McCain had abandoned the veterans.

Now I don't how you, if you can understand this George. But that really hurts...

BUSH, interrupting: yeah

McCAIN: ...that really hurts.

So, five Unites States Senators, Vietnam veterans, heroes, some of them really incredible heroes, wrote George a letter, and said, apologize.

BUSH, interrupting: (unintelligible)

McCAIN: You should, you should be ashamed.

Zoom to Bush.

This seems to be recurring ploy.

[TankLV]

22. For the life of me I don't understand how they can even go there.

This gang of criminal and liars - THE WHOLE LOT OF THEM - never even served! This should be the end of the discussion.

Kerry risked his fucking life to actually SERVE in our armed forced, whild these guys played coward and were busy learning how to steal millions from the rest of us.

THE UTTER GALL AND SHAMELESSNESS that this is even discussed is simply unbelievable!

I will just never understand this at all to my dying day.

[wicket]

23. And Mr. 5 deferments Cheney is SOOOO not one to talk!

[sakabatou]

24. "Our president is..."

steadfast in driving us off a cliff. It was this administrations fault for putting the troops there in the first place, for not having an exit and a whole lot of other things.

Weren't there other senators who voted against the $87 billion bill?

[Malebolgia]

25. Didn't Bush turn his back on the troops...

by going into a war based on lies? By cutting military benefits?

I'm with you. Cheney can burn in hell. :grr:

[drdtroit]

28. Unka Dick's gonna look nice in that orange jumpsuit. n/t

[PATRICK]

29. Can we finally say

that even as the typical hatchet wielding second GOP banana Dick has done an abysmal, backfiring, disgusting job? He is a giant, unspoken reason why Bush is losing, but no one dares face him down(on his side or in the media).

I think his old ticker will be in the shop again soon.

[cliss]

30. Lynne Cheney was visiting South Korea (I think it was)

about 2 years ago. She was visiting an elementary school, and apparently one child came up to her and asked if her husband (aka The Dick) had served in the military.

What a peculiar question, I thought to myself. Why would a South Korean care? And a child, to boot. Lynne replied, "No, my husband had other priorities". I thought, "this is surreal". And the AP even printed it.

What's the saying, God speaks through the mouth of babes or something like that.

[bushisanidiot]

31. More SQUAWK from the CHICKENhawk! He has no right to speak of Kerry

and how he feels about the united states' military.

when the going got tough, Kerry signed up for combat while chickenshit Dick Cheney ran and hid!

Fuck YOU, Dick!

[saigon68]

33. Pres R. Cheney---- Cowardly Puppeteer

scalia selected leader Chimpy McShrub --- Clueless Sock Puppet whose lips are moved by the aforesaid R. Cheney.

[Suzie57]

35. And I'm supposed to believe that the man who hired this guy

and Rove is a Christian, yeah right. So "Thou shall not bear false witness" doesn't apply to george & his people, how do they figure.

[Az_lefty]

37. Excellent, General!!!

:toast:
