Like it won't help the Dems? Don't underestimate the stupidity of the American public.

Most don't care. They are too stupid to understand what is at stake. They'll buy into the lies. I have no confidence in the "average" American.

The Dims biggest problem is THEY DON'T HAVE A PLAN.
The only plans I've heard thus far have been about healthcare. Healthcare for crying out loud.
Expanding social programs in the face of increased terrorism and market jitters and they want to increase the size of the nannny state.
Unbelieveable.
I think these guys believe their own press releases.

THE terror alert is up and so is the angst among Democratic 2004 wannabes because they know it's politically dumb and dumber to try to blame terror jitters on President Bush - but they just can't help themselves.

What's really troubling about this is that every time the democrats publicly berate President Bush for the war on Iraq and point to it as the blame for the current crop of terrorist acts and continue to do so, I can't help but believe this *has* to be sending a signal to terrorists that their methods of madness are working and more is needed to topple our government because "it is selfp-destructing." I find the democrats politicizing the recent bombings as absolutely the worst case of irresponsibility if not outright encouragement to those mad bombers who want to kill us all!

Someone wrote the BEST description of Kerry...."He looks like a clean-shaven Abe Lincoln on the day he found out his dog DIED! LOL! (Why the long face, John?)

Silly question, How much money will the dumb-o-crats need to recruit all the dead people to vote for them?

[DarthVader]

But according to Tim Russert last night on CNBC an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll Americans are more concerned about healthcare than terrorism!(Sarcasm)

What do you say to that my friends?

[snooker]

Could it be the Dems have no terror gravitas

[wayoverontheright]

But the broader issue for Kerry and all the other wannabes is that Americans trust Bush on terror and terror is back at center stage, so they have to figure out how to deal with it.

Since McGovern, the Democratic Party has existed to reign in American power, they cannot turn on a dime and back something that not only requires its use but begs its prominent display.

This issue is lose-lose for the dems and a win-win for a strong America.
