Summary:[Bush-Cheney]'s barb was an echo of Gore's vice presidential speech before the Democratic convention in 1992, aimed at then-President [George W. Bush], father of the two-term Texas governor. With it , Cheney showed he was more than willing to play the traditional running mate role of campaign attack dog. He spoke of failing schools and a Social Security system that is ready to crack and promised, with Bush, to fix them both. Nowhere in his speech, however, did Cheney mention things from his congressional days that have already come under fire from Gore and the Democrats: abortion, gun control and a refusal to demand that South Africa free Nelson Mandela.
