grrrr! 
Cheney told about 350 supporters at a town-hall meeting in this Iowa city:

"We're now at that point where we're making that kind of decision for the next 30 or 40 years, and 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. 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're not really at war."

vice presidential candidate john edwards reponds:

“Dick Cheney's scare tactics crossed the line today, showing once again that he and George Bush will do anything and say anything to save their jobs. Protecting America from vicious terrorists is not a Democratic or Republican issue, it's an American issue and Dick Cheney and George Bush should know that...
John Kerry and I will keep America safe, and we will not divide the American people to do it.”

i hate to say it, but it appears that the american people are already pretty divided.

...and it's only going to get uglier as we approach that magical day in early november.
