The presidential campaign spiked to a new level of rhetorical heat Tuesday when Vice President Cheney warned that a vote for Democrat John Kerry could bring terrorist attacks on the USA.

Speaking to supporters in Des Moines, Cheney called it "absolutely essential" that on Election Day voters "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."

This implies that a vote for Kerry will bring more terrorism but logically it's wrong, flat-out wrong. A vote for Bush could bring the same. A vote for Goober could bring the same. This is politics at its dirtiest and stupidest, perfect examples of the Bush mentality. But we don't have to settle for Bush or Microsoft - we do have choices, arguably better choices.

Linux for Presidential OS and Kerry the man to use it.
