Let's see..sinking Bush poll numbers....um...TERROR ALERT!!!
I'm guessing there should be a new terror alert soon. Anything to get the 60 Minutes story next Sunday off the radar...

3. I'm afraid of an actual attack
Cheney's stupid remark today could provoke an attack.

6. He played up fear
He said, basicly, that if you vote for Kerry, the terrorists will attack again.


Ok, here is the exact quote: "If we make the wrong choice, then the danger is that we'll get hit again -- that we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States," Cheney said.

8. That if they aren't re-elected an attack is imminent
and that it would be catestrophic... I paraphrase, but that's the gist. Maybe someone else has the exact quote...

10. MSNBC has Cheney quote and Edward's response
Cheney: "It’s absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on November 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."

Edwards: "Dick Cheney’s scare tactics crossed the line today, showing once again that he and George Bush will do anything and say anything to save their jobs."

Cheney spokesperson attempt at "clarification": "What the vice president was saying was whoever is elected will face the possibility of a terrible attack." Asked whether Cheney stood by his statement, Womack replied, "The vice president stands by my explanation of the statement."

14. Makes you wonder how Dick can make this statement with
such certitude? Did Al Qaeda personally tell him that? "We want you and Bush re-elected, Dick. You tell that American public of yours that we'll hit the USA with an even more devestating attack if they elect Kerry."

He's desperate....I wonder if he and Lynn are scoping out foreign countries that have no extradition treaties with the US. I think Kuwait and Qatar fall in that category...

11. Gee, ya think Cheney could be a little more obvious?
I think this is the kind of comment that has the potential to turn off voters who are borderline supporters of Bush.

15. Sure looked that way to me
If Kerry gets elected, I'll tell my boys to hit 'em. IMHO these crazy bastards absolutely can NOT and will not allow the reins of govt to slip from their fingers.

17. Unka Dick is making promises again -
Like when he promised Wellstone there'd be dire consequences for ( I think it was) pushing for an independent 9/11 commission . . . then, Wellstone's plane crashed.

16. There already was
Wasn't Ridge yapping on about terrorists disrupting the elections today? For the umpteenth time. This is getting so predictable.
