TULSA — Americans fed up with seeing high fuel prices at the pump should take their frustration out on Democrats, Vice President Dick Cheney told a cheering partisan crowd Friday evening in downtown Tulsa.

What he said on economy
The economic stimulus checks being sent to Americans will help revive the nation's slowed-down economy, he said.
"Republicans believe that when Americans are facing tough times the first thing we should do is let them keep more of their own money,” he said.
What he said on terrorism
Cheney noted it's been nearly seven years since terrorists have launched an attack in the United States.
"No one can guarantee that we won't be hit again because the danger remains very real,” Cheney said.
Leaving Iraq prematurely without ensuring a democratic government is in place would tell America's allies that the U.S. "cannot be counted on even when people put their lives on the line for freedom,” he said.
It also would validate the belief that some countries have that the United States "doesn't have the stomach for a fight,” the vice president said.
