Cheney just returned to scare tactics

[tishaLA]

after meeting with republican leaders...

He just read a statement on CNN that said, in essence, that chimpy has a clarity of vision while Kerry has a muddy concept of what things should be like. He said Kerry would return "us" to the pre-September 11th world and be weak on terror, etc.

It was astonishing in its economical viciousness. I hope Kerry responds....but it's a good sign that Kerry has put the screws to these fuckers and they have to ramp up their rhetoric.

1. Yes!!!!!!! Go Cheney yourself, Dick.

[cthrumatrix]

2. just returned...? When did "cardiac asshole" ever leave his garbage talk

[tishaLA]

5. I should have said "upped the ante" probably

Because he was really OVER THE TOP this time. Made the previous statements look like love letters.

[Parche]

3. terra

I AM SO F%$^*$*$$# TIRED OF THEM TALKING ABOUT TERRA
all the time
Dont they have anything else to run on?
Its nothing but fear factor and terra threats
And they use Sept 11th every single time

4. It's funny how they try to portray Kerry as a new kid on the block

It just pisses me off that they try to make it out like John Kerry just came out of nowhere. Like his father got him to be a governor of some state and then he is deciding to run for president without any other type of political know-how. Oh wait...I guess that can happen.

[Eurobabe]

6. WTF, do you think CNN would interrupt their show

to show Kerry criticizing B/C ?? Such crap, that CNN.

[tishaLA]

7. Oh the good thing is

taht they had to interrupt the new Smear Boat Liars ad to go to Cheney. They must have been tortured about what would be more harmful to the Kerry campaign.

8. AS I recall, things were kinda nice before September 11.

Except for * beimg in the WH.

9. i'd love to see kerry hit back immediately.

[Zensea]

It depends who you ask.

[dogtag]

11. He had the wild eyed CEO look,

like he was going to announce that the stock options had just taken a major dive...and he's good and pissed.

[bluedog]

12. why did they cut in at CNN

to play a bit of this?.........its not like its breaking news...just a campaign hit towards Kerry by the ol man cheney?........this made NO sense.

[Caution]

13. Ignore this one. The news cycle is now going to be dominated by

Kerry's draft statement. Don't give the cycle back to Cheney.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

14. The pre-September 11th world of unread PDBs?

No thanks asshole. Kerry knows how to read and listen.

[LittleClarkie]

15. Sounds like a repeat to me

Is that all they got?

[Generator]

16. Oh, that pre-September world where the Iraqis were beheading

civilians in the streets of Detroit and New York. I remember it well, thankfully that only happens in Iraq these days! Four more years!

17. Edwards is going to change his pitch up.

Uh, now I'm listening to Prodigy too.

But, Edwards is going to blast his ass on this during their debate.
Ah....good times, good times. Keep talking Cheney.

[Raster]

18. So Darth Cheney left the undisclosed location (coffin) to deliver....

...more venom and vitriol. Never saw that one coming.

[michigandem2]

19. well it got so much attention last time...

they are losing steam they need to re-energize the campaign and get some real red meat out there..LOL! funny as it is old and WRONG---

he is a silly old man...who probably wants to keep his job to avoid any investigations...

20. This is what has replaced Tom Ridges Terra Alerts.

21. choice btween hope and fear

my letter to the editor sums things up on this issue

It will be printed in Friday's edition of the Citien's Voice -- NE-PA paper

here's the letter

feel free to copy/paste/modify/use it

Dear Editor:

This election year is perhaps the single most important election our country has ever faced and it is up to us, the voters, to decide which road we will take.

This election will not hinge on the economy, social security or even foreign affairs. This election hinges on a choice between fear and hope.

A few weeks ago, Vice-President Cheney implied that voting for Senator Kerry would result in more terrorist attacks. Earlier this week House Speaker Hassert repeated the same "connection", and I'm sure we will continue to hear the same from others. The underlying message is "be afraid - only Bush can stop terrorist attacks."

Senator Kerry's message is one of hope and a belief we can do better. President Bush's message is one of fear and a belief that "close enough is good enough".

History has shown that when Americans are united and challenged - we stand together and work together to meet those challenges. We have many challenges facing us today - and we have a choice. We can hide behind bushes in fear or we can stand up and face the future with confidence.

Hope or Fear - these are our choices in November.
