Cheney's remarks, "Bring it on!" all over again.
There was something very disturbing about Cheney's remarks that went far and above just crossing the line of inflammatory political rhetoric. Not only did Cheney hype up the fear factor with the American people, he was telling the terrorists that they would have any easier time hitting us with Kerry in office.

Isn't that giving aid to the enemy? Isn't that telling them that our guard will be down if Kerry is in office? It is almost like a dare. He's telling them that they will be able to "Bring it on" if Kerry is in the WH.

This is beyond appalling. The word "Treason" comes to mind because we should not be giving anyone the impression that a strike on this country will be easier if Kerry is elected. This is not just wrong, it's frightening to think that Cheney would be prodding terrorists into hitting us.

These guys have to go.

2. You have a good point there.

Actually, Cheney almost made it sound like he had connections or something. If the American people dared defy him, he wouldn't hesitate to call up his terrorist friends and arrange another strike. That's what it sounded like to me, anyway.

Hell, he should talk! Wasn't he in charge of the terrorist task force in the months before 9-11? Good job, asshole!

3. That was another
thought I had. How does he know? Does he exchange e-mails with Osama?

I am livid over this and have sent comments to Hardball, a LTTE and a comment to the Kerry campaign.

I don't have a defintion of treason handy but telling the world that a terrorist attack would be easier under Kerry seems a bit more serious than sitting in a tank in North Vietnam. IMHO
