Cheney Stumps In Washington State

If he stepped off the Naval Base there, he must have felt damned welcome.

EVERETT, Wash. - Vice President Dick Cheney returned to the scene of repeated frustration for Republican presidential tickets Monday, launching a spirited defense of the beleaguered Bush administration and promoting GOP congressional candidates.

Cheney stumped for U.S. House hopeful Doug Roulstone, a retired Navy commander, and blistered Sen.
John Kerry and other national Democrats as weak-kneed on defense.

Washington hasn't given its 11 electoral votes to the Republicans since Ronald Reagan was on the ballot in 1984. The Bush-Cheney ticket was swamped twice and has dismal poll standings here. [emphasis mine]

Is he getting senile in addition to just plain mean? He's talking about Kerry? Dick its 2006 not 2004.

And I'll just point out again how the chickenhawk who didn't serve in the military is attacking those who did.
