Here comes the porkers add admendments!!!! I think Americans want to feel secure above all else. Without security, all the liberal social programs wouldn't matter. Most people would be dead.
In my opinion, the Democrat attacks on this war are not going to help them. I think people are going to be scared of having Democrats in power. Their security would be stolen away from them if Democrats were to regain power in Washington.
When polls are taken, people bitch about this or that thing they don't like, but when it comes down to who will really watch out for them - especially in this new age of Clinton enabled terrorism - they'll vote Republican.

My thought after watching the dims slobbering all over the airwaves last night is this:
They are all up in arms about 87B for Iraq, and the ballooning budget deficit. They want international cooperation, and even mentioned rolling back the tax cuts that are just now having an effect. HOWEVER, nobody talks about reducing gov spending to alleviate the deficit. NOBODY!!
The third rail of politics is no longer Social Security. It is the sum of gov spending, along with hefty increases every year. I believe the President said that if discretionary spending could be kept below 4% increases, and the economy continues to improve, deficit projections would fall dramatically.
Why doesn't anyone in the media ask the fair question of the dems, that if they have a concern about the deficit, why not reign back on spending, instead of looking for more revenue??
