A Quote from the Republican Vice Presidential Nominee

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.
If only those awful Democrats would quit politicizing the War on Terror. Then Zell Miller would have stayed in the Democratic Party. If we Democrats really loved our country, the way Dick Cheney loves his country, we would either disband, or work out a system where President Bush could be the presidential candidate from both parties. Liberalism has no place in a post 9/11 world; there is no such thing as honest disagreement in a post 9/11 world. In a post 9/11 world you either support President Bush and the Republican Party or you support the Terrorists.

Kind of makes you feel guilty even looking at my weblog, doesn't it? But take a moment and consider that this is America. America is a Democracy (I know it's not a pure democracy, but it was founded on Democratic policies and that's what I mean), and if we are to fight terrorism, to fight any war we need to do it as a Democracy. Which means that disagreeing with President Bush is what those who disagree with him are supposed to do.

Another consideration. If Vice President Cheney really feels this strongly about the issue, would it really be responsible, from their point of view, for President Bush and he to actually allow President Kerry to take office if he wins the election?

Got this from Echidne of the Snakes who got it from Atrios who got it from ABC News.
