they can smell fear, you know

Yesterday, Dickless Cheney said at a campaign rally that a vote for Kerry would open the door to another terrorist attack against the United States. Yes, that's right...the Vice President of the United States of America had the nerve to suggest that if you don't vote for him, you are, in effect, putting into motion the deaths of Americans. To be exact, he said, "It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States." Yeah. Swell. I betcha that's exactly what George Washington and the gang were hoping this country would come to eventually...scare tactics.

Never mind that terrorists attack no matter who's in charge of this country (and besides, wasn't it Bush that was in charge in 2001? Yeah, and I'm not blaming him necessarily), never mind that Republicans have been bitching from day one of the democrats making these sorts of "the sky is falling" screams, it is unamerican of Dick Cheney. Not that I'd expect anything less of him.

At least this time the deomcrats aren't taking it up their rears like they so often do. Today, according to the AP, John Edwards said

"This statement by the vice president of the United States was intended to divide us...It was calculated to divide us on an issue of safety and security for the American people. It's wrong and it's un-American."
