Cheney To Americans: "A Vote For Kerry Is A Vote For Bin Laden."
Yes, this really happened.
COLUMBIA, Mo., Sept. 7 -- Vice President Cheney warned on Tuesday that if John F. Kerry is elected, "the danger is that we'll get hit again" by terrorists, as the Bush campaign escalated a furious assault on the Democratic presidential nominee that has kept Kerry from gaining control of the election debate.
In Des Moines, Cheney went beyond previous restraints to suggest that the country would be more vulnerable to attack under Kerry. "It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on November 2nd, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again," the vice president said, "that we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States, and that we'll fall back into the pre-9/11 mind-set, if you will, that in fact these terrorist attacks are just criminal acts and that we are not really at war."
GOP stalwart Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger added this.
"If you vote for only one terrorist appeaser this year, make it Salim Abu Aziz, from my hit film True Lies."
"If you vote for two, vote for "Red" from That 70's Show -- shown here in the 1987 classic Robocop -- he is so scary, right?"
