And they probably bought it

Cheney pointed to Afghanistan as a success story in pursuing terrorists although the Sept. 11 mastermind, Osama bin Laden, remains at large. In Iraq, the vice president said, the United States has taken out a leader who used weapons of mass destruction against his own people and harbored other terrorists...Cheney told about 350 supporters at a town-hall meeting in this Iowa city

Yeah, and Afghanistan is still in turmoil, and we're still fighting over there. But I guess it's true that it's a success story in "pursuing" terrorists. And in Iraq - that claim about Saddam using WMD against his own people just won't die, even though investigations have shown it likely to be false. And what terrorists was he harboring? That's a new one on me.

"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."

Because the only precedent we have for a devastating hit is 9/11 when Bush was president. Makes sense to think switching to Kerry would cause another one.

These people are amazing. You ever notice how they constantly accuse John Kerry of George Bush's characteristics - and make them out to be terrible flaws? John Kerry behaved shamefully during the Viet Nam war. John Kerry is way too far off center (the most liberal man in the Senate). John Kerry has no qualifying record to be elected president. John Kerry voted against the $87 million Iraq war funding measure. John Kerry can't protect us from a terrorist attack. Great tactic, really. The Democrats just seem to be constantly trying to defend their man against Bush's record.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
