Dick sways blue-collar workers, the very people who should be fighting against malpractice caps, while not mentioning Halliburton's no cap-no bid-sole sourced contracts nor the no-cap Halliburton put on his millions ...

was it a gathering or a crowd???
Vice resident Dick Cheney speaks to
a gathering Monday, June 19, 2003, at Boone County Millworks in Columbia, Mo. Cheney took a tour of the millwork facility prior to addressing
the crowd.
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Vice President Dick Cheney criticized the Democratic ticket on Monday, arguing that John Kerry and John Edwards have opposed changes to the medical malpractice insurance system because they are too close to trial lawyers.
During a question-and-answer session with Bush-Cheney backers, the vice president said the administration is pushing to cap the amounts from large court judgments for what he called "non-economic suffering."
"Both Senators Edwards and Kerry have consistently voted against medical liability reform. They don't want to see reform of that system. I think it's because, frankly, they are too close to the plaintiff's attorneys that benefit from the system and the way it operates today," Cheney said.
