What I'd like to hear

So Dick Cheney went all toad-licking crazy on us...and flat out declared that if you vote for Kerry you are voting for more and worse terrorist attacks. Sweet. The nuance of political communications.

My hope would be that the response is something like:

Seems that Dick Cheney and George Bush will do or say anything to the American people to save their own jobs. We (the Johns) are more concerned with doing whatever it takes to create and protect jobs for the American people.

Something like that. But you know better.
