Scared yet?

"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,"

Am I reading this right? Did Fear-mongering Dick just warn the American public that terrorists will attack the US if the Bush/Cheney junta is voted out of office in November?

If Kerry were elected, Cheney said the nation risks falling back into a "pre-9/11 mind-set"

  • Says the man whose Vice Presidency is marked by a complete denial of the threat from terrorism, until we were ACTUALLY attacked.
  • Says the man who peddles mushroom cloud rhetoric to scare the public into consenting to war with Iraq.
  • Which pre-9/11 mindset is Dick referring to? The same mindset as Wolfowitz',where he asked "why are we worrying so much about just one man"?

So what to make of this campaign rhetoric? At a minimum it's fear mongering and at worst it's a threat. Hey Dick, what're you going to do when America votes you out of office for being the arrogant manipulative imperialistic lying schmuck that you are? Are you going to ensure that your longtime Taliban friends orchestrate another attack on America? Get out Dick. America doesn't want you or your barely-literate pseudo-President in office any more... your jig is up.
