Former Secretary of Defense turned Republican candidate for the office of Vice President, Dick Cheney surprized me and gave a rather inspiring speech last night at the Republican National Convention. After watching him as Secretary of Defense during Desert Shield and Desert Storm, I assumed his quiet monotone voice would put even the partisan audience in Philadelphia to sleep. He certainly surpassed my expectations.
Quick to attempt to throw water on the fire of growing groundswell support for George W. Bush for POTUS, the morally bankrupt DNC and Gore Campaign issued strong statements accusing Cheney of attacking Gore. Funny, these statements were on the record before the echo of Cheney's voice died down; making me believe, rightly so, that it didn't matter what he actually had said. Sadly, the truth-challenged democRATs were going to brand it an attack no matter what. It is the same tactic of mud slinging which has characterized their use of the politics of personal destruction instead of issues and answers ( but, they just don't have any of those these days, now do they? ).
Somehow, when a democRAT slurrs a Republican in ad hominem style, it becomes pointing out their record, but when a Republican quietly responds with the facts, it becomes an attack? Last night, Cheney neither attacked nor raised his voice, but the SCARED RABBIT democRATS whined like stuck pigs about his performance!
Here are some of the quotes from Cheney's homerun speech/ball which the NATIONAL SOCIALIST MEDIA WING OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, in their infinite wisdom, deemed attacks:
" The wheel has turned; it is time for them ( Clinton and Gore ) to go ". Oh yeah, big attack there...
" They ( Clinton and Gore ) came in together; it is time for them to leave together ". Okay, I guess mentioning Clinton and Gore in the same sentence could be construed as an attack by a democRAT GRASPING FOR ANY STRAW HE CAN FIND.
" Does anyone think you can see one ( Gore ) without thinking of the other ( Clinton )". Alright, you got me now, I guess this association of Gore with Clinton is just as bad as calling George Bush a spoiled brat or Dick Cheney a racist!
I was quite surprized to see that the media has dug up Lanny Davis again ( I suppose there is not enough sweet smell of Brut around to render the Cadaver, James Carville, stomachable? ). Davis epitomizes the lack of even the smallest semblence of integrity or honesty at any gathering of liberal democRATS. Davis smirks and smiles nervously, as he lies his way through these media appearences repeating the DNC talking points memo like a good little party robot ( he must not have a mirror left intact at his residence... ). One would think they could have come up with a better spinmeister ( liar )? Since the release of his partial gut-spilling book, he just can't seem to keep a straight face anymore when his lips are moving!
After eight years of research, and separation from the DNC, I have finally figured out what it means to be a liberal democRAT. The number one requirement for membership in the democRAT party is a willingness to lie, whether on camera or otherwise ( they like to think of it as some extremely twisted altruistic ends justify any means what so ever, thing ). The number two requirement is a toss-up between a total lack of integrity and/or a complete, utter lack of honesty ( allowing them to lie with impunity to further their puny plans of world socialist domination ).
I had a rather one-sided political discussion with left winger from the entertainment industry, who has Clinton/Gore campaign freebies plastered all over his ( or her ) office; though I bet he paid plenty in donations to state and federal democRAT coffers for those souvenirs. We agree on almost nothing any more, though decades ago we agreed on our distaste for Kissinger, Nixon and the Vietnam war. After a virtual tennis match of bouncing opinions, this REFLEX TEST IN HUMAN SKIN coughed up the reason why we should not build a defense for America against even a small limited ballistic missile attack. He said, in a nutshell, " we can't build it because it won't protect our allies in Europe ". Upon hearing that hog-wash, I gave him a quizzical look and questioned his patriotism non-verbally. He then countered by citing the recent unsuccessful test of the system in developement, changing his reasoning to, " it doesn't work and it never will ". Don't you just love the way these meelie-mouthed liberals keep changing their tunes until the melody seems to suit them ( find one that they think will work at the time )?
I was trying to think of why most democRATs are so dead against the United States of America developing and fielding an anti-ballistic missile defense. It is actually quite simple. Most of them are quick to drop their pants to expose themselves and without an adequate missile shield, WE COULD BE CAUGHT WITH OUR PANTS DOWN!
Retired Senator Alan Simpson called it like it is once again, after being asked about Clinton's conduct at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, " Not many people who have lived up there got a little fellatio during the holidays "!
