Cheney Says Kerry Too Soft on Terror (washingtonpost.com)
The hourlong event was held at a country-themed restaurant on the edge of the Twin Cities. A dozen invited small business owners surrounded Cheney and his wife, Lynne.
Across the street, four relatives of a Minnesota Marine killed in Iraq, Lance Cpl. Levi Angell, 20, of Cloquet, protested.
Angell’s grandmother, Lila, called the war a “useless, needless fix we’re in.”
Eisenhower Against Bush
Another View: Why I will vote for John Kerry for President By JOHN EISENHOWER
As son of a Republican President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, it is automatically expected by many that I am a Republican. For 50 years, through the election of 2000, I was. With the current administration’s decision to invade Iraq unilaterally, however, I changed my voter registration to independent, and barring some utterly unforeseen development, I intend to vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate, Sen. John Kerry. …
Today many people are rightly concerned about our precious individual freedoms, our privacy, the basis of our democracy. Of course we must fight terrorism, but have we irresponsibly gone overboard in doing so? I wonder. In 1960, President Eisenhower told the Republican convention, “If ever we put any other value above (our) liberty, and above principle, we shall lose both.” I would appreciate hearing such warnings from the Republican Party of today.
How to Debate George Bush
The biggest single difference between the debates this year and four years ago is that President Bush cannot simply make promises. He has a record. And I hope that voters will recall the last time Mr. Bush stood on stage for a presidential debate.
• If elected, he said, he would support allowing Americans to buy prescription drugs from Canada.
• He promised that his tax cuts would create millions of new jobs.
• He vowed to end partisan bickering in Washington.
• Above all, he pledged that if he put American troops into combat: “The force must be strong enough so that the mission can be accomplished. And the exit strategy needs to be well defined.”
Comparing these grandiose promises to his failed record, it’s enough to make anyone want to, well, sigh.
