Vote for us or DIE!!!

I can't believe he said this. No, really, I can't believe it. To some extent, all my ranting about the current presidential administration has been somewhat restrained. I really, truly believed that they believed that they were doing the right thing. Mostly. Mostly, they believed it. Now I'm just... I'm just... I'm living in a fucking totalitarian regime.

Where are my UN voting inspectors? I want one in every city. At every polling station.


Here it is:

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney on Tuesday warned Americans about voting for Democratic Sen. John Kerry, saying that if the nation makes the wrong choice on Election Day it faces the threat of another terrorist attack.

The Kerry-Edwards campaign immediately rejected those comments as "scare tactics" that crossed the line.

"It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States," Cheney told about 350 supporters at a town-hall meeting in this Iowa city.

I don't care if he qualified this statement afterwards. Really, I don't. Cause this is the core of the Culture of Fear. Eliminate democracy with Fear. Eliminate all Choices With Fear.

Think you're free? No, you're just afraid.
