The Boston Globe wants Cheney to Apologize to Voters

And quite honestly, so do I. In fact, it is quite insulting to say that a vote for Kerry is a vote for a terrorist attack. Considering that homeland security is underfunded, Bin Laden has had time to regroup while the US is off fighting the wrong war, and the country is weaker since the white house has been asleep at the wheel of the economy.

From the Boston Globe Editorial:

Cheney's threat

September 10, 2004

WHEN VICE President Cheney said Tuesday that voters would increase the chances of another terrorist attack on America if they vote for John Kerry, he crossed what should be an impermeable line separating democratic decency from the sort of demagoguery that disfigures politics in places like Belarus, Burma, or Iran.

Later in the Boston Globe Editorial:

Bush and Cheney are entitled to base their campaign on a claim -- however debatable -- that they are best suited to protect Americans from terrorism. They are not entitled to claim that a vote for Kerry is a vote to expose the United States to another terrorist attack. Cheney owes an apology to the voters.
