Cheney uses Mideast as campaign issue - Yahoo! News - It's no suprise that the Vice President says that the war in Lebanon shows that Americans should vote to keep the republican congress in control to combat terrorism. I cannot believe that these crazy sons of bitches are actually capitalizing on the deaths of innocent humans to politicize THEIR VIEW:
Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday pointed to the fighting between Isreal and Hezbollah as fresh evidence that the ongoing battle against terrorismthat underscores the need to
keep President Bush's Republican allies in control of Congress.
"This conflict is a long way from over," Cheney said at a fundraising appearance for a GOP congressional candidate. "It's going to be a battle that will last for a very long time. It is absolutely essential that we stay the course."
Cheney's visit to Tampa helped raise about $200,000 for the campaign of Gus Bilirakis, a state legislator who is running for the Tampa Bay area congressional seat his father, Michael, is vacating.
"Gus is going to remember that the first order of business is to protect the American people and to support the men and women who defend us in time of war," Cheney told the audience at a $500-a-ticket fundraising reception. "There's still hard work ahead in the war on terror."
Cheney said that as Republicans make their case to voters in the midterm elections, "it's vital that we keep issues of national security at the top of the agenda." He faulted Democrats in Congress who have pushed for a timetable for withdrawing Americans from Iraq, saying that would send the wrong message to terrorists.
"If anyone thinks the conflict is over or soon to be over, all they have to do is look at what's happening in the Middle East today," he said. More>>>
