I have not seen much Democrat rebuttal to the pervasive and ridiculous Republican talking point about Kerry using scare tactics to win this election.  This is truly the pot calling the kettle black.  Bush spoke about mushroom clouds, yellow cake, and biological agents released in major US cities in order to gain support for the invasion of Iraq. None of which was true.  He continually claims that a failure to make his tax cuts permanent will lead to recession.  And as TPM points out, Cheney has been saying that a vote for Kerry will get us attacked again. Will anyone be surprised when the terror alert level gets raised in the next few days?  I wish someone more eloquent and persuasive than me would take up this issue.  It's absurd.
