Advantage, Bush

The White House can control the agenda in ways that Kerry cannot. If the president plays it right, he can wrap up the race

WEB-EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY

Updated: 3:41 p.m. ET Aug. 6, 2004Aug. 6 - Republicans are better at the game of politics. Take this week's elevated terror alert. Whether you think it was warranted or not, it's a win-win for George W. Bush. He says we're fighting terrorists in Iraq so we don't have to fight them here in our country. Yet we're told to prepare for an attack that could come any time and exceed the 9/11 toll in death and destruction. The subliminal message of the Bush campaign is that a vote for John Kerry is a vote for Osama bin Laden. You can buy T-shirts that say that. They're advertised on the web site of the Washington Times, a conservative newspaper owned by the Unification Church. Bush wants us to believe that terrorists the world over are cringing at the thought of four more years of his tough-guy policies.

Don't you love to see Eleanor working herself into a frantic snit at the looming prospect of W's victory? This canary in the Dem mineshaft is definitely getting the shakes.

This caught my eye when I saw my least favorite Sunday Morning Shrieker admit this.

"Howard Dean was right when he said that the administration has cried wolf so many times, it's difficult to know what's real and what is fake. Kerry rightly distanced himself from Dean's comment." So don't ever tell the truth? If you think this way keep it to yourself until after November?
THIS IS WHY WE DON'T AND CAN'T TRUST THE RATMEDIA!
