If we're at "war" with "terror," then why...
are scary movies still polular? And scary books? And scary Halloween costumes, haunted houses, and such? Why isn't Stephen King in Guantanamo? He's the "King of Terror," after all! Why is there still so much blood and gore in the movies, on tv, and in entertainment in general? If we're so scared by "terror" and it's results, then why hasn't our society changed in response to things of terror?

1. I've referred to all this as: The War Against Terror. . .
acronym: TWAT

Vulgar, I know, but it sums up the credibility of the Repigs' attempt to address it.

6. And why is it OK for Republicans to tell us that if we don't vote for them...
Then we'll get attacked?

Condi terrorized that nation by telling us that she didn't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud, why isn't she in gitmo yet?
