Cheney needs to do more than just attack Democrats, he needs to start attacking the millions of spineless Americans who have stopped supporting this war. How can this administration just sit idley by a let a majority of Americans doubt our progress in Iraq?
Well, the best way to accomplish this is not to attack people (which makes people feel defensive). The best way is to make people feel they have been misled, and thus feel guilt and anger at those who have misled them.
Attacking the voters is never a good idea. It only makes a politician look like a complete and utter fool.
