Whether kerry was a hippy or bush was a drunken preppy thirty five years ago has nothing to do with what the men represent in 2004.

These thirty-five year old gossipy stories that have several versions and slants are pathetic. We are sick of them. They are a distraction that keeps us from understanding what kerry actually represents as a challenge to the incumbant. They have out lived their shock effect and are beginning to have a back lash effect. Kitty Kelly, Dan Rathers, Michael Moore, people like you, etc will be credited with the biggest land slide for the republicans in history... I would like to see a much more honorable discussion of issues, almost everyone would. We probably wont get a chance to see it.

And Cheney is not fit either: PITTSBURGH – Vice President Dick Cheney's remark that "the wrong choice" by voters could result in another terrorist attack was "a sleazy and despicable effort to blackmail voters with fear," Al Gore said Thursday.

The former vice president criticized the Bush-Cheney administration – which he repeatedly called the Bush-Halliburton administration – for their "failed record" on the economy, health care and the war in Iraq during a speech before about 200 supporters at the headquarters of the United Steelworkers of America.

"The claim by Bush and Cheney that the American people must give them four more years in office or else be 'hit hard' by another terrorist attack is a sleazy and despicable effort to blackmail voters with fear," Gore said.

"They are going back to the ugliest page in the Republican playbook: fear," he said. "They're not even really trying to convince you to vote for George Bush. Their only hope, they've decided, is to try and make you too afraid to vote for John Kerry. It's the lowest sort of politics imaginable. It is not worthy of a presidential candidate."

Cheney told supporters in Des Moines, Iowa, on Tuesday that, if Kerry were elected, the United States risked falling back into a "pre-9/11 mind-set" that terrorist attacks are criminal acts that require a reactive approach.

"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 said
