I’m watching the news this morning, and there’s a crawl across the bottom of the screen containing little one-line news items. One of them says, “Vice President Dick Cheney says terrorists may attack if Kerry is elected.”
Now, I know that Bush’s re-election strategy consists largely of trying to scare people into voting for him, but jeez, how pathetic can you get? It occurs to me that perhaps the nameless drone who typed up the crawl is mis-reporting Cheney, and that perhaps he was just saying that he doesn’t think Kerry will adequately protect us. Can anyone point me to an exact quote?
Grrr. Whatever respect I still had for Cheney just evaporated. The guy in the Pit thread is right; it almost sounds like a protection racket.
[Marlon Brando voice] “Re-elect Bush, or who knows what sort of terrorist acts might happen…” [/MBv]
This is fear-mongering at its most shameless :mad:
