Kerry attacks Palin as "Cheneyesque"
 Democrats have come up with a new line of attack line against John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin, saying she's another Dick Cheney.Ahah. She's not French enough, eh? Pity. Even the Frenchies don't seem to be anymore. Another Dick Cheney? Sign me up! Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) described Palin as a member of the "flat-earth caucus," who McCain picked purely to please the conservative base. "With the choice of Gov. Palin, its the third term of Dick Cheney," Kerry said on ABC News' "This Week." "He's chosen somebody who doesn't believe climate change is man-made." And she's ever so much better looking than Joe Biden. Don't forget that. Kerry added that Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters should be offended if people suggest Palin was selected to draw some of the female vote away from the Barack Obama-Joe Biden ticket. "Its almost insulting to the Hillary supporters," Kerry said, calling Palin a "Cheneyesque social conservative whos going to satisfy the base. John McCain is a prisoner of the right wing, not a maverick." Sarah shoots moose. Cheney shoots lawyers. There's a difference. You can eat moose. The Republican counterattack has been to play up Palin's credentials as "commander in chief" of the Alaska National Guard, with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), saying "she's tough, she's talented, she's ready to lead. ... compared to Sen. Obama, she's qualified beyond belief." Posted by: lotp 2008-08-31 |
