9/11/4 - Tillamook to Portland

On Saturday I headed out listenin' to the news on my satellite radio and I heard Vice-President Cheney makin' a speech to voters in Ohio. I started payin' close attention because ya see, I haven't quite made up my mind who I'm votin' for in November. Lorraine already has, and she sure can get a little peeved with me sometimes because it always seems to take me a while longer to figure out all the ins-and-outs of what both sides are sayin' - This here guy is a liar, and that guy is this, and so on. Anyway, ol' Cheney was talkin' about all these new connections he's put-together between that bastard Saddam Hussein and those crazy al Qaeda fellas, and he was goin' on and on about how sendin' our Boys over to Iraq was a good thing because Saddam had always been a friend of those terrorists and how Saddam had always personally helped out those al Qaeda fellas. So I was feelin' a bit confused, 'cause I remembered the boys in the White House sayin' a year or so back that there was no connection between Saddam 'n Al Qaeda and that we were sendin' our boys over there to find those WMD's of Saddam. Now with my neighbor's boy Steve bein' one of the 1000 soldiers killed over there, I really didn't take too kindly to some politician tryin' to get reelected by changin' his story about why we sent Steve and the other 999+ boys over there to die. Cheney is sayin' that them al qaedas were gettin' help in Iraq since day-1 and Saddam must have been officially involved the whole time? Ya know friends, I ran into some trouble with my rig once outside of Dallas/Ft.Worth and I had to get some help from the folks at Triple-A in Texas to get me back-up and going again...and that doesn't mean ol' George W. Bush was helpin' me out. And to try to tell me otherwise is just lyin'. No sir, I don't like what ol' Dick Cheney is tryin' to do here, and I made up my mind right then & there who I'll be votin' for. I sure liked Steve, he was a helluva good kid.
