"...the Left, these days is uncharacteristically mute on the matter of Cheney. That should tell you something about The Cheney Effect."
I guess I'm failing to get that one. Usually silence is an indication that they don't want engagement.
In any event, I agree that the rhetorical equivalent of brass knuckles, zip-guns and switchblades would only serve to strengthen the campaign. I keep remembering the scene in the movie 'The Untouchables' where Sean Connery teaches the Costner character about street fighting...
There is no need for brutal attack without provocation, but a finger in the eye or an elbow into the windpipe would do wonders for diminishing the Kerry 'image.' Something like an event for veterans with the 225 Swift Boat commanders and crews that denounce the liar Kerry. Every time Effing brings up Viet Nam, his cohorts and contemporaries should be given air time to voice his condemnation - and why. His arrogance, leftism, sedition and a thousand other issues should be employed to best effect.
Besides kicking his Frankensteinian @ss (Since he is sewn together from various body parts, whose @ss is it anyway?), the effect of Bush delivering a rhetorical kick to Kerry's rhetorical groin would also serve to jazz all of us in the hinterlands that would love to do the same.

After all this time,we finally have reached a complete parting of the ways,Mia.Cheney can NOT be cut loose from the ticket! And Rudy as V.P.,though I like a lot of what he did for N.Y.C.,would make a Kerry win a certitude.He's just the wrong man for V.P. and I highly doubt that he'd even take it.He wants to be Governor of N.Y. or president.
