Dick Cheney Missing From Oregon Voters' Pamphlet

SALEM, Ore. -- Dick Cheney is missing from a pamphlet Oregonians consult as they ponder who to vote for -- and state officials say they are getting "tons of calls" about the omission.

"People are jumping to the conclusion that we were playing some sort of political game. Some of the calls are nasty," said John Lindback, the state elections director.

Some are blaming Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, a Democrat who's been accused by Republicans and others of being overly partisan. But Oregon Republican chairman Kevin Mannix is coming to Bradbury's defense, an odd twist in this hard-fought election year.

"There was no funny business on their part. The secretary of state's office did their job," Mannix said.

It was the Bush-Cheney campaign's decision not to send in material for Cheney to go into the Oregon Voters' Pamphlet, feeling it was enough to have President Bush's photo and biography in the booklet and not spend the $1,000 to place Cheney in the pamphlet as well, Mannix said.

1. Dick was running for President? Who knew?

:eyes:

Guess he was trying to continue remaining in a non-disclosed location...

2. Another Repugnant non-issue...

The GOP refused to send in the $1000 fee and biographical materials to get Cheney's ugly pic in the voter's pamphlet. Kevin Mannix, the head of the Oregon Republican Party attempted to contact the national GOP but received no answer.

Now the Secretary Of State, Bill Bradbury, is under repugnant fire and claims of pulling another liberal stunt--keeping Cheney out of the pamphlet.

Very Rovian if you think about it...Cheney out of the voter's pamphlet got the repugnants attention and now they have a cause to write lots of hot letters to the editor. And, causing the rest of us to stop writing letters concerning Bush's possible tumble into insanity.

Cute Karl...very cute.
