I'm rubber and you're glue....
Vice President Dick Cheney has a history of giving nasty political speeches. As Kevin has noted Cheney seems to have changed his tune on Reagan now that it's politically expedient.
John Kerry has been the latest beneficiary of Cheney's politically laced barbs:
"The Patriot Act has been crucial to many of our successes. Yet Senator Kerry has chosen this moment, after these victories, to share his second thoughts on the Patriot Act,"
Cheney fails to note that the changes Kerry supports to the Patriot Act are also supported by some Republicans.
Cheney has also accused Kerry of wanting to have massive tax increases.
What Cheney doesn't tell the crowd is that Kerry has advocated for eliminating the Bush Tax Cut for only the top 2%.
>Cheney has also chided Kerry for voting against certain weapons and weapons systems.
But when Cheney was Secretary of Defense, he worked to close bases and eliminate weapons systems. Oops.
Hmm....so Cheney goes after Reagan at the jugular when it was convenient...but all of a sudden now Reagan is the best thing since sliced bread. Given that Kerry has been blasted by Cheney as well...we can certainly expect a loving tribute to Kerry in the near future, too.
