How Low Will Bush Go? (We doubt there is a limit)

Here's the thing; we just simply do not believe that the vast majority of Americans are still all that afraid.

We have been constantly told that we should be afraid and that we are afraid, but are we really?

Have Americans really become the biggest cowards on earth; scared of our own shadows?

I certainly hate to think so, because we are in for the fight of our lives, no matter who wins Tuesday's elections and the enemies of our freedom and constituional rights are a lot closer than Central Asia.


Eugene Robinson - How Low Will Bush Go? - washingtonpost.com:

If Democrats manage to take control of one or both houses of Congress on Tuesday, the reason will be that voters were not adequately roused into a state of heart-pounding, knee-knocking, teeth-chattering fear.

Not that Republicans haven't been trying. George W. Bush used to claim he was 'a uniter, not a divider,' but that was a long time ago. These days, he'd probably try to deny the quote the same way he tried to disown 'stay the course.' The Karl Rove formula for political victory has been to draw a bright line between 'us' and 'them' and then paint those on the other side not as opponents but as monsters.
