DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney told Republicans on Monday to keep security issues prominent ahead of November's elections and condemned Democratic calls for a timetable on troop withdrawal from Iraq as "a bad idea."
"As we make our case to the voters this year, it is vital to keep issues of national security at the top of the agenda," Cheney told donors at an Iowa fund-raiser for Republican congressional candidate Jeff Lamberti.
"The president and I welcome the discussion because every voter in America needs to know where the president and I stand -- and where every candidate for federal office stands -- when it comes to the war on terror," Cheney said.
Cheney's comments on security issues echoed White House political adviser Karl Rove, who has called Democrats weak on national security and urged Republicans to stress President George W. Bush's leadership in the war on terrorism ahead of November's congressional elections.BE AFRAID, AMERICANS!!! A vote for a Democrat is a vote for Osama Bin Laden. Fuck gas prices, weak economy, Political ethics, corruption, soaring energy costs and two quagmires. . .BE FUCKING AFRAID OR I'LL SHOOT YOU IN THE FUCKING FACE!!!
