More politics with terror

By Creature

Cheney tempers his tone, but still calls those who support Ned Lamont terrorist sympathizers. This, all new rhetoric, brought to us by Reuters.

Vice President Dick Cheney blasted "Dean Democrats" -- a reference to Democratic Party chief Howard Dean -- for the defeat of Sen. Joseph Lieberman in the Connecticut Democratic primary against an anti-war candidate, saying they were pushing for retreat that would increase danger to the United States.

"So the choice before the American people is becoming clearer every day. For the sake of our security, this nation must reject any strategy of resignation and defeatism in the face of determined enemies," Cheney said at a fund-raising luncheon in Arizona.

Mr. Cheney, every minute you and your ilk remain in power we are increasing the danger to the United States.

I ask the voters of Connecticut: Will you stand for this?
I ask the voters in America: Have you had enough?
