vp debate, how can cheney get away with this?

[busted_player]

well, good ole dick said

1) 'freedom is the best antidote to terror' -- about afganistan. so why are they destroying bill of rights here in usa? but the biggie is

2) where he put forth el salvador as a model for afganistan. that is, he was proud of american involvement in central america in mid 80's. ugh, reality check time? or are most voters just too uninformed to realize what cheney was referring to (does iran-contra ring a bell? death squads?)

what's next, cheney saying the american plan and victory over the indians (native americans) is a good model for war on terror? (eg, genocide). why does nobody call him on this kind of stuff?

[busted_player]

another one. cheney says if kerry cant stand up to howard dean (political pressure to move towards anti war stance) how can he stand up to al kida?

huh? youre basically calling the guy someone whos gonna be half a traitor because in a presidential election he moved towards the middle on policy issues?

man cheney really must know where all the skeletons are buried (mixed metaphor i guess) for no one to even question him at all. scary.

You missed one. In regards to the "lies" about Halliburton he said you could go to and an independent web site factcheck.com and see that it was untrue. Well, if you actually check it out, most of Edward's position was supported.

Just like the El Salvador statement, make a bold face lie and rely on the ignorance of the average American not to catch it.

If someone complains, crank up the media echo chamber to keep repeating the lie until it becomes the truth, or claim you were misquoted or misunderstood and then repeat a slightly different version of the lie. rinse-repeat.

im watching it right now im about 27 minutes in.

in response to edwards saying troops sent without body armor and admin cutting their combat pay once they were over there (or lobbying to cut it) ,

all dick could say was, well so many inaccuracies, and troops wouldnt have what they have today if "you" (edwards/kerry) would have had your way.

[busted_player]

total spin whopper.

cheney said US is not taking 90% of casualties. said iraqi's making valuable contribution to take their country back from 'terrorists'. uh-huh.

btw, i think kerry/edwards are super liars too but they have the luxury of not having to defend decisons (yet).

[busted_player]

yeah factcheck.com and dick looked pretty silly when he said he was for lifting sanctions on iran when iran was/is (as opposed to iraq) developing nuclear weapons.

[busted_player]

but atrocious when edwards kissed israels ass when he said US should sanction iran because 'they are a threat to israel'.

well gee, i didnt realize we should invade countries because they are a threat to other countries. and edwards said israeli p.m. was gonna withraw from gaza. gee, i'll believe that when i see that.

1) Your demogoging on the Bill of Rights is silly. We are fighting to preserve the freedoms included in the Bill of Rights.

2) Supporting a country against a communist takeover attempt is fighting for freedom. While the government in power had big flaws, those flaws were not reason enough to abandon the entire country's future to a Communist dictatorship.

Cheney has it right, you have a warped view of reality.

[busted_player]

do u support death squads?

[GWB]

I don't support murder on either side, but I do support freedom for the people. Do you support the people's right to democracy? or is a Commie takeover OK with you?
