Cheney endorses Bush McCain, calls for four more years of the same old thing

At an event in Laramie, Wyoming, Cheney said he will vote for the McCain-Palin ticket.

"This year, of course, I'm not on the ballot, so I am here ... not to vote for me, but I want to join daughter Liz, who is with me today, join us in casting ... our ballots for John McCain and Sarah Palin," Cheney said.

Obama started his day with a morning rally in Henderson, Nevada, before heading to Pueblo, Colorado, and Springfield, Missouri.

"I'd like to congratulate Sen. McCain on this endorsement, because he really earned it. That endorsement didn't come easy," Obama said at the Pueblo rally.

He added that Cheney "knows that with John McCain, you get a twofer: George Bush's economic policy and Dick Cheney's foreign policy. And that is a risk the American people cannot afford to take."


An endorsement from Dick Cheney says it all...McCain-Palin equals four more years of Bush-Cheney.

A month ago, McCain's brother Joe called northern Virginia "communist country." And two weeks ago, McCain adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer said the area wasn't a "real" part of the state.

"I certainly agree that northern Virginia has gone more Democratic," Pfotenhauer had said. "And as a proud resident of Oakton, Virginia, I can tell you that the Democrats have just come in from the District of Columbia and moved into northern Virginia.

"And that's really what you see there. But the rest of the state, 'real' Virginia, if you will, I think will be very responsive to Sen. McCain's message."

Asked whether she wanted to clarify her comments, Pfotenhauer stood by them.


And once again, the Republicans play on insulting attacks and fearmongering. Funny, the McCain-Palin campaign of 2008 looks just like the Bush-Cheney campaign of 2004. www.georgebush.com in fact still points to the GOP website, with a picture of Bush McCain front-and-center. Tells me all I need to know.
