Cheney says a vote for Kerry will cause a terrorist attack.

So you're saying that it won't?

And Jews will be the downfall of the Germans.

Is this before or after he stepped on the head of a kitten? I hear he usually reserves beating up a cripple for his encore.

Cheney: "I'm not beating up the cripple because I want to, far from it. I'm beating up this cripple because I'm afraid he will go to the polls and vote for John Kerry, the terrorists' friend. Can't you see that I'm beating up this cripple because Kerry forced me to? This leads me to my next point: John Kerry hates crippled people."

The guy is shameless.

[question]

Cheney makes me want to invoke Godwin's Law. Where's the quote from Goebbles about using vague threats to control people?

[question]

To quote Goebbels:

# "The bigger the lie, the more it will be believed"

# "The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly... it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over."

# " ...the rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious.

question, he say's that we would face the threat of a terrorist attack, because in the past liberals have approached the terror situation by using the court of law. Not the use of force.

And if you're quoting geobbels, you might as well tie Kerry into the mix as well, because ever since he's been nominated he's been spewing lies to the media.

For example. Ever since Bush has entered office, he hasn't created one job here in America. Kerry says he is the worst president since Hoover during the Great Depression to ever take office in trying to fix our economy.

I could go on.

Actually by the numbers, the net gain of his presidency has been negative, and the last president to have done that was Hoover.

Did we forget that he inherited a recession, as well as a HUGE wave of corporate corruption that Reno and the rest of the justice dept decided to ignore?

The recession cycle was normal, and mirrored the end of every other recession.

*yawn*

That doesn't nullify the fact.

[question]

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

-Hermann Goering
