Cheney says U.S. is lucky Kerry lost

FLATHEAD, Mont., Nov. 1 (UPI) -- Vice President Dick Cheney Wednesday told a Montana audience the United States is lucky Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., lost the 2004 presidential race.

Cheney told supporters in Flathead, Mont., that Kerry's remarks to students at Pasadena City College in California Monday constituted a "swipe at the U.S. military."

Kerry said he flubbed a joke about President Bush when he warned students to study hard and be smart -- or they "might get stuck in Iraq."

Cheney recalled Kerry last year accused U.S. soldiers of "terrorizing" children in Iraq. He said the senator is always lecturing about "nuances," adding Kerry apparently is "the one who needs to be educated."

"Aren't we lucky he lost that (the 2004) election?" Cheney quipped.

The vice president said Democrats have lost their perspective concerning the nature of the enemy we face. Cheney praised U.S. troops, stating the "all-volunteer force represents the very best of this country."

Thanks to Dems with courage:

1. Cheney

can go fuck himself.

[drdtroit]

3. I believe the appropriate response is:

"Fuck you Mr. Cheney",

:patriot:

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. In 2004

I had the privilage of giving one of these to Mr. Cheney in person.

[JuniperLea]

18. *bows to DoYouEverWonder*

I will live vicariously through your wonderful memory until the end of time...


sigh

[DoYouEverWonder]

20. I'm glad to share it

because I certainly enjoyed doing it.

[drdtroit]

32. Kudos DYEW!

:patriot:

[C_U_L8R]

2. Eat me ...Dick

[Lowell]

4. Tell that to the families

who have lost their sons and daughters in the quagmire Cheney and co. have gotten us into.What an assclown.

[sabra]

5. let's ask the families of the 3K soldiers killed, how lucky they feel

having you in power

[Marie26]

6. Why are Republicans so obsessed with this?

It's bizarre.

[dchill]

23. Uh, because they know...

Kerry actually WON.

[Marie26]

27. So what?

Even if that were true, it doesn't explain why they're going so overboard on this right now. Kerry isn't even running. It must be a sign of desperation.

[dchill]

28. It IS a sign of desperation.

And they are desperately trying to convince themselves and their drones that Kerry "lost" the election. It's a classic example of the oft-repeated lie becoming truthiness. Or something.

Anyway, they're obsessed with this because they're obsessed with convincing everyone that ALL their lies are facts. They are desperate because they're way behind in the polls that they don't pay any attention to. they're desperate because if they lose on November 8th, BIG legal problems are quite probably coming their way.

It's ALL DESPERATION ALL THE TIME. And it's not much of a plan.

[Marie26]

36. But it is sort of fun to watch. nt

[dchill]

37. Well, yeah...

Still, it's sad that it's there for us to watch.

[chaska]

7. They're just trying to draw us into this deeper. Ignore him. And let's try to stop...

talking about this subject. Elsewhere and here at DU.

[ClintonTyree]

8. Yeah, those 3,000 soldiers who've been killed..........

and the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis ARE SO DAMNED LUCKY KERRY LOST THE ELECTION! :grr: Would someone please stuff a sock in that asshole Cheney's gaping maw?

[blm]

9. Except 61% of Americans want Iraq withdrawal timetable and agree with Kerry.

http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm

[90-percent]

12. but but

All that's going on here is Darth trying to get his approval ratings into single digits. Based on recent polls, he only has, what, nine points to go?

-85% jimmy

[tjwash]

11. tick-tock there, Dick ol' buddy...

You only got 6 days to get all that shit in the shredder before your trial starts. Better hurry on up...

[RedStateShame]

13. Really? When did he lose? Oh, that's right, we're still going by the Blackwell version.

[oasis]

14. Cheney was lucky to get five (5) deferments that kept him out of Vietnam.

Cheney can go Cheney himself.

[Norquist Nemesis]

15. Dick's just too funny!

ha ha ha :sarcasm:

Dick should apologize to Americans, immediately! He has chosen, once again, to malign a decorated veteran and duly elected Senator. It's disgusting!

[greeneyedboy]

16. hey, Dick, tell us about *your* time in the military. oh yeah, you dodged. so F off.

[gkhouston]

17. Christ, what a STUPID thing to say.

blivet**'s approval rating's are in the toilet and Cheney thinks people are going to feel lucky that he's in the WH instead of Kerry? :rofl:

[Kierkegaard]

19. Here's some good advice for Dick:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=R5Op8Xqzszo

[oblivious]

21. I'm pretty sure China and Russia think the same, watching a superpower self-destruct.

And not having to spend a penny.

It must be like a dream come true for them.

[TheCowsCameHome]

22. Damn right, Dick. He would've thrown your draft-dodging ass in the slammer.

[Megahurtz]

24. UGH! n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. cheney with the 19% approval rating, that cheney?

:rofl: cheney who shot his friend in the face, that cheney? :rofl: cheney who continues to lie about ties between saddam hussein and al qaeda and 9/11, that cheney? :grr: WTH cares what he says about anything? Only those who already hate Kerry are listening to cheney, only those who voted for bu$hco in '04 are listening to cheney. :boring:

[dchill]

30. I think it's the "Cheney" who pursued -

and GOT - 5 draft deferments. Later he went for deferred stock options from Halliburton. He's "BIG TIME" into deferments.

[TheCowsCameHome]

31. No.

It was the new and improved 16% Dick, 84% asshole.

[Cha]

26. Kerry speaks the truth so the US is

lucky that we have the retarded monkey leading us into the Abyss?

Yeah, that sounds like the dark underbellied one.

[earth mom]

29. ...

:grr:

[roamer65]

33. Guns don't kill people, Dick Cheney does.

Hey Dick, go Cheney yourself and your stupid skankass wife.

[spanone]

34. Truth is, Dickie boy, that Kerry has kept the spotlight on IRAQ.

You Dumbfuck. Your worst nightmare.

[Jack Rabbit]

35. Well, he lied again

That not true and even Cheney knows it.

After all, Cheney, more than anybody, knows what the war against Iraq is about: his retirement fund at Halliburton.

[bdamomma]

38. Cheney can go fuck himself!

[SeveneightyWhoa]

39. What Cheney really meant:

"Aren't I and my corrupt cronies lucky he lost that (the 2004) election?" Cheney quipped.

[Canuckistanian]

40. Because the US is a paradise now, right Dick?

And the US is SO respected in the world and the economy is booming and terrorists have been put in their place.

Puppies and rainbows for everyone!

[Hepburn]

41. What a perfect location for Cheney to speak from...

... a place named FLATHEAD! It would only have been better if it had been FATHEAD!

:rofl:

Actually....Cheney is a SHITHEAD.

[LeftishBrit]

42. Yes, he has a Flat Head, and probably believes in a Flat Earth...

and the whole WORLD is so unlucky that he won the vice presidency and is able to control so much. Lots of people have died directly or indirectly because of him; no one died because of Kerry.

What a bastard he is, and I hope that after 2008 he's finished and no one ever has to hear of him again, unless it's to hear that he's been put in jail (well, one can dream).

[Gregorian]

43. Halliburton IS very lucky Kerry isn't in office.

But this is America. Not just another corporation. DICK!

[struggle4progress]

44. We'd be lucky if BigTime Dick accidently shot himself in the face

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

45. Always believe the opposite of what the Chainy says. n/t

[zulchzulu]

46. Don't worry, Dick. Kerry will have your head by next year, buddy....

Can you say impeachment, Dick. Sure you can. I'd work on getting a new ticker for next year. You're going to need you, you chump.

[JI7]

47. trying to rationalize his 5+ deferments

nasty ass fucker.

[JI7]

48. go to New Orleans and ask them

and the military we have is NOT all voluntary. many have had to extend their service because of lack of soldiers signing up.

[Telly Savalas]

49. Why is Cheney campaigning in Montana?

Is the GOP in such bad shape that they're poised to lose House seats even there?

Or is it just the case that people hate him so much except in the reddest of areas that he can only do damage elsewhere?

[JI7]

50. they did the same in 2004 elections

they only send him to red areas with the audience made up of their base. the purpose of these events is not to gain additional voters by having him appear as it would actually turn undecideds or non partisans off to him. but more to get the base to get out and work hard to win the elections through fundraising, campaigning , etc.

[Mr_Spock]

51. Flathead, Montana

I saw all I needed to see.

[last_texas_dem]

52. Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney!

I consider your *five* deferments to avoid service in Vietnam and your pushing of a pointless war in Iraq on bullshit grounds that has killed thousands of Americans for no reason, a much bigger "swipe" against the U.S. military than anything war hero and lifelong vets supporter John Kerry could ever do!
