Cheney told Republican supporters at a town hall meeting in Des Moines that they needed to make "the right choice" in the November 2 election.
"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," Cheney said.
So if we elect Kerry, THEN there will be the risk of another terrorist attack.
Edwards told reporters that "Dick Cheney's scare tactics crossed the line."
"What he said to the American people was that if you go to the polls in November and elect anyone other than us, and another terrorist attack occurs, then it's your fault," Edwards said during a stop in Chillicothe, Ohio.
"This is un-American. The truth is that it proves once again that they will do anything and say anything to keep their jobs."
But Cheney's spokeswoman, Anne Womack, downplayed the line, saying it reflected "a difference in policy."
"Whoever is elected in November faces the prospect of another terrorist attack. The question is whether or not we have the right policies in place to best protect our country. That's what the vice president said."
No, that is NOT what the vice president said. And if I have to twist the meaning of the word "context" to get at what cheney "really meant", then I also feel free to use context in interpreting Kerry's voting record.
