Cheney's Attack on Kerry
In this morning's New York Times I read another interesting article about Cheney campaigning through the use of fear. Cheney has again begun making ominous statements about what could happen to our country if we elect Kerry to president, invoking images of terrorists running around in America's biggest cities with nuclear weaponry. Not only should he be chided for this eggregious and unfounded attack on his opponents, but for the sheer absurdity of his claim. There is no evidence of any terrorist organization possessing nuclear weapons, or of any reason why this would be a more likely scenario should America choose Kerry over Bush this November. These shameless attacks need to be stopped, and should be met with disgust by the American people. It baffles me that this could possibly be an effective campaigning tool, or that Bush/Cheney could be ahead in the poll when they are using such underhanded tactics to gain votes.
