Scare Tactics

Today in Florida:
"Instead of articulating a vision or a positive agenda for the future, the senator, my opponent, is relying on a litany of complaints and old-style scare tactics," Bush told a retirement community near Ocala.
I guess he would know about scare tactics. Today in Ohio:
"The biggest threat we face now as a nation is the possibility of terrorists ending up in the middle of one of our cities with deadlier weapons than have ever before been used against us - biological agents or a nuclear weapon or a chemical weapon of some kind to be able to threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans," Cheney said.
I guess the President's point was, if you're going to use scare tactics, use the new-style ones, not those lame "old-style" ones. (Maybe he hasn't realized how old these terror warnings have gotten.)
