So, is this an endorsement for Kerry, or is * challenging Cheney in Nov?
10/19/2004, George W. Bush, speaking in Florida at three different rallies, said:

"On November the 2nd, the people of America will reject the politics of fear and vote for an agenda of hope and opportunity and security."

Who was he speaking about? Is George W. Bush running against Dick Cheney?

That very same day, at a rally in Charleston West Virginia, Dick Cheney had these comments:


"the kind of threat that we're faced with now."

"the terrorists were also seriously interested in trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction, to get their hands on deadlier weapons to use against us"

" And I asked myself when I read that, I said, well, when was terrorism ever just a nuisance? Certainly, you'd go back prior to 9/11 and ask, well, what about four years ago when the USS Cole was hit, off Yemen, and we lost 17 sailors, they nearly sunk the ship? Or six years ago when they hit simultaneously two of our embassies in East Africa within minutes of each other, killed hundreds of people, including a number of Americans? Or maybe it was back in the 1993, the first attack on the World Trade Center in New York, killed six or seven, but wounded a thousand, tried to take down a Trade Tower that day and failed? Or maybe it was 1988, when Flight Pan Am 103 went down over Lockerbie, Scotland after it was blown out of the skies? Or maybe 1983, in Beirut when that spring, they first blew up our embassy and then later that fall a suicide bomber in a truck bomb drove into the ground floor of the hotel where we had our Marines barracked, and killed 241?"

1. Well, Cheney is the de facto president
and bu$h is so addleheaded, he's probably forgotten who his official opponent is.
