Cheney Gives Speech, McAullife Shows Hypocrisy

From the AP via Yahoo News
Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) said Monday that John Kerry (news - web sites) "has given us ample grounds to doubt" his judgment on national security even as the Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) chairman urged the White House to stop such attacks.

"Call off the Republican attack dogs," DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe told reporters in Washington.

Mark's Remarks

The big news here is not Cheney's speech, which pretty much mirrors the outstanding one he gave earlier this season, telling the truth about KERRY'S RECORD, not attacking his patriotism, but TALKING ABOUT HIS RECORD.

No one has attacked his military service, Mr. McAwful, but yet you still bring it up ad nauseum and say people are attacking it. Is that all you have, sir, 3rd grade he said/they said games? The facts of the matter are that every person who has talked from the Bush campaign has said they honor his service, they just disagree with everything he did after it. That is more than can be said for your tone in dealing with issues involving your opponent, Mr. McAwful.

No, the real news here is the blatant hypocrisy Mr. McAwful is showing in his comments. He talks about calling off the "Republican Attack Dogs." Mr. McAwful, why don't you do the same with the Media Fund, the MORONS at moveon.org, and the other 527s you are subtly coordinating with in a united effort at smear. Why don't you call off the attack dogs on the Left who went after the President's service, oh wait, you did that too, didn't you? Why don't YOU start focusing more on issues than smear? Oh wait, you can't because you have no core and no vision....my bad....

And here is some more of McAwful's hypocrisy....Remember, he was a Friend and Supporter of Bill Clinton, who avoided service in Vietnam, even the ROTC:
McAuliffe noted Kerry's release last week of his military record, detailing the actions as commander of a swift boat in the Mekong Delta that led to him being awarded three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star.

During the Vietnam War, Bush served in the Texas Air National Guard, but did not participate in combat. Cheney received student deferments.

"This is the comparison we're willing to have," he said. "When John Kerry was in that swift boat with people firing upon him, where were George Bush and Dick Cheney?"

All I can say is, Terry, they were not like you and Bill, protesting and giving aid and comfort to the enemy...They were serving.....

And, when did Kerry release anything new on his military record? He still has not released what he promised to do on Meet the Press, yet here you are acting as if he has revealed something we didn't know...Come on Terry, this is too easy.....
Sheesh, these folks are delusional...especially when you consider it was THEIR PRESENT CANDIDATE John Kerry, who said in 1996 that Vietnam and service therein should not be an issue, that it was a painful memory for veterans and it should not be used as a wedge issue.....yet, who is bringing it up ad nauseum? Kerry, and his surrogates....

Must be more lying, disguised as nuance or something.
