I’m usually a firm believer in the “keyhole design” of a thesis to make an argumentative statement, but dammit, I’ve got to cut to the chase with this.
Dick Cheney has got one hell of a lot of nerve.
Where does this sneering demagogue get off? TELLING (not suggesting), telling us that if we vote for Kerry, we will be inviting another attack. What solid evidence does he possess to make such an outrageous claim? With that sort of information, he should have been able to do more to abort the attacks of 9/11!
If anything, the preponderance of evidence suggests that we have no choice but to vote for ANYONE other than Bush. Who has the greatest number of ties with the Saudis? Who has done more to alienate this country from not only its allies but the Islamic world as well? Who has the most to gain by way of standing harder on the neck of the Middle East with the multi-national corporate boot?
Enough is enough.
When you can dispassionately observe the tenor of the recent RNC, you will find it was nothing more than a gala of hate-mongering. When you analyze the tactic of Republican rebuttal to Democratic accusations of practically any kind, you will find that it is never a logical response. All that these spoiled brats can cry is “Foul! foul!”, without giving a genuine answer. They fire back with such idiocies as “That is just a partisan attitude” and other blanket statements of that ilk.
OF COURSE IT’S A PARTISAN ATTITUDE! JUST LIKE YOURS, YOU PINHEADS! WHERE ARE THE ANSWERS!?! DAMMIT ALL TO HELL! WE WANT SOME ANSWERS!!!
Mr. Cheney, you might be able to pat your constituents on the head and send them off to bed with your acrimony to keep them warm. You might be able to keep them in line with the “monster in the closet” threat of terrorist attacks. However, I, for one, am not so easily maintained. I’ve got a chip on my shoulder the size of a gaping hole in downtown Manhattan; a gaping hole that is being filled with yet another center of industry. It’s a wretched sacrilege.
Mr. Cheney, I refuse to live in fear. If I meet my end in some catastrophic attack, I won’t regret not having “seen it coming” or being wrong about it; I’ll regret not having lived longer to live a fuller life, doing all that could for the sake of justice.
If I live in fear, it won’t be the terrorists who have won, Mr. Cheney. It would be you.
VOTE DEMOCRATIC!!!
