Cheney must now resort to scare tactics to convince voters

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

We need to name Bush president for eternity because by the time he dies we will certainly have a way to attach his head to a host body.

Whew! I feel so much safer just thinking about that.

(We are Borg. Resistence is futile.)

If the terrorists of the world could have bought an American administration hoping to get help from them in recruiting new terrorists and in furthering the causes of their terroristic activities...

...they could not have gotten better results than they have gotten from the current, incredibly incompetent, administration.

For these guys to pretend that they are the answer to the terrorism problem is like gasoline suggesting it is the answer to forest fires.

They are pathetic....and Dick Cheney stands out as particularly pathetic.

Perhaps just his head in a glass jar, a la Futurama? : :

More on the scare tactics

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that Cheney's comments crossed the line of acceptable rhetoric and urged Bush to dissociate himself from them.

"It is completely inappropriate, and dangerous, for the vice president to in effect threaten the American people, to be part of instilling fear into our country," Pelosi said. "If the United States is attacked by terrorists before the next president is inaugurated, it will be because this president was so focused on Iraq that he was distracted from getting the job done in dealing with the clear and present danger that al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden pose to our country."

In a change that highlighted the sensitivity of Cheney's statement, the White House yesterday released a revised version of the transcript of his remarks. The official transcript, posted on the White House Web site Tuesday afternoon and e-mailed to reporters, said: "(I)t's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on November 2nd, we make the right choice. Because if we make the wrong choice, then the danger is that we'll get hit again."

In a version released Tuesday to reporters traveling with Cheney, however, the period at the end of "hit again" was removed and replaced with a comma, which linked his blunter statement to his standard stump language expressing concern that future attacks would be treated as "just criminal acts, and that we're not really at war."

Yesterday, the transcript on the White House Web site was altered to make Cheney's remarks one sentence. Cheney's White House spokesman, Kevin Kellems, issued a statement saying that the first official transcript "contained a typographical error" and was an "interim draft." "These types of corrections are not uncommon in the transcription of verbal statements," Kellems said. "The final transcript accurately reflects the statement as delivered, which is clear when watching video of the event."
