that's all he has to run on: fear itself. Roosevelt said, "we have nothing to fear, but fear itself". it's still true, but bush has mutilated it into a campaign platform. 'elect me, and I'll keep you safe from those awful Muslim badguys'. his ads say, 'a strong leader, in times of change', which infer that the times are scary and only he, a person of strong leadership qualities, can protect us.
many repubs point out the ridiculous fact that 'we haven't been attacked since 9-11', as if that were proof that bush's strong personality is holding terror at bay. is that all they have to boast about?
what if one looks at the ugly 'other side' of that argument: 'why HAVEN'T we been attacked since then?' osama is apparently still out there planning for more attacks on us, cheney and rumsfeld have GUARANTEED that we WILL be attacked again. it's almost as if they KNOW there won't be another attack. (my fearful brain is drifting)
bush keeps bragging that the world is now safer because we captured saddam, but fails to mention that osama, the man who supposedly attacked us, is still at large, so how does that make the world safer?
fear is all w has going for him. fear is everywhere now. fear of a terrorist attack. fear of unemployment. fear of a great depression. fear of a draft being re-instated. fear for our sons and daughters in harm's way. fear of another stolen election. fear of some huge october surprise/dirty trick. fear of the world's scorn. fear of world war three. fear of civil war right here at home. fear of a total meltdown of our union and chaos among we the people.
I'm tired of all the fucking fear already george. i pine for the old days under the last legitimately elected president, Bill Clinton, when i wasn't under constant fear.
and worst of all, i fear another 4 years of this fucking regime from hell. the union and the world simply couldn't stand it. stop the fear. stop bushco from raping America.
