Kerry raps Bush but election race is not black and white

RAPPER P Diddy is trying to drum up support for John Kerry with a “Vote or Die” clothing line.

Last week Dick Cheney came up with something similar, basically telling his audience to “Vote Bush or Die”. For all their differences P Diddy and Cheney are merely echoing a truth that is held to be universal, namely that this election is one of the most important in American history.

Not since 1960, when John F Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon, or 1912, when Woodrow Wilson beat Theodore Roosevelt, has the choice been so stark, or so they say.
