Gore: Cheney'Wrong Choice' Remark Sleazy

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney's remark that "the wrong choice" by voters could result in another terrorist attack was "a sleazy and despicable effort to blackmail voters with fear," Al Gore said Thursday.

Really? And the whole "He betrayed this country! He played on our fears!" screechfest wasn't?

What the Vice President was getting at was not that electing the Kerry-Edwards team will result in terrorist attacks. Heck, nothing can really prevent that. If they want to, they can attack with President Bush or Senator Kerry or anyone else for that matter in the Oval Office.

What he was warning against was that we, the government, would slip back into the pre-Sept 11th mode of thinking. Treating the terrorists like criminals instead of like combatants that have declared was on the US.

I see nothing from Senator Kerry's history that would refute this.
