Re: Fear mongering
[ QUOTE ]
I purposely posted these without comment because I think that both campaigns are using the politics of fear. However, I think that Cheney's offense is much much worse than Kerry's. Yes, the threat of a terrorist attack in our cities is important. But I don't for a minute think that Bush/Cheney can make us safer against such attacks than Kerry/Edwards. And if Cheney think they can given their past performance he is deluding himself.

The difference is that the threat Cheney outlined is not an untrue claim and for better or worse, has become a central issue in this election. Should he not make the administration's case in this regard? On the other hand, you have Kerry using outright falsehood to scare votes up for himself. I think that is far worse.
