Dick Cheney Senator Quotations

On the question of America's role in the world, the differences between Senator Kerry and President Bush are the sharpest, and the stakes for the country are the highest,

Senator John McCain put it best: it is a lie to say that the president lied to the American people,

Senator Kerry denounces American action when other countries don't approve -- as if the whole object of our foreign policy were to please a few persistent critics,

I can think of a lot of words to describe Senator Kerry's position on Iraq; ""consistent"" is not one of them.

History has shown that a strong and purposeful America is vital to preserving freedom and keeping us safe. Yet time and again, Senator Kerry has made the wrong call on national security.

I think my dad's performance last night made very clear the challenges that the country faced, ... He made very clear the problems with Senator Kerry's record.

The senator has got his facts wrong, ... I have not suggested there's a connection between Iraq and 9/11, but there's clearly an established Iraqi track record with terror.

He's even trotted out the old term 'misery index.' The problem is that by Senator Kerry's definition, things got better during the Carter years, and then got worse during the Reagan-Bush years.

A senator can be wrong for 20 years without consequence to the nation, ... But a president, a president, always casts the deciding vote. And in this time of challenge, America needs -- and America has -- a president we can count on to get it right.

That is a fair summary of the problem, ... and it came from Senator Joseph Lieberman.
