Vice President Cheney visits Wal-Mart's hometown

[Freddie Stubbs]

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney portrayed Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., as an example of the Bush administration's success in a difficult economy during a visit Monday to the retail giant's hometown.

Meanwhile Wal-Mart leaders and Arkansas' Republican governor boasted that the recession never affected this booming region in northwest Arkansas.

While lashing out at Bush's likely Democratic opponent, Sen. John Kerry, Cheney urged 1,000 cheering Wal-Mart employees to vote in November for "the confident, steady, disciplined leadership of George W. Bush."

Cheney tried to use Wal-Mart's runaway success as the world's largest retailer to show that the economy is not an administration weakness.

2. Yes, and we the taxpayers got to pay for this campaign jot..

I got to pay twice, once for Cheney to come and bash Kerry and then for our little toad governor to visit from Little Rock. Now what was it that Mussolini said....oh yeah,..."Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini.
