  ExCELLENT hseely, you are absolutely right. You have just described the foundation of the KARL ROVE/BUSH DOCTRINE. THEY USED 9\11 as an excuse to lead us into the greatest catastrophe of this century so FAR. IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. LOOK AT THE MESS WE HAVE MADE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THOSE PEOPLE HATE US and we have killed Hundreds of thousands. WORST OF ALL WE SENT OUR YOUNG TO DIE FOR WHAT SO IRAQ CAN HAVE A CORRUPT REGIME UNDER THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY. LOOK AT AFGHANISTAN. THe GOVERNMENT THERE IS SO CORRUPT and so inefficient that we are now in a greater mess than we were before. IT IS JUST ALL WRONG. YOUNG AMERICANS ARE DYING SO HALLIBURTON COULD PROSPER AND MAKE BILLIONS. CHENEY ROVE RUMSFIELD; THESE GUYS ARE SO EVIL AND SO TWISTED; USING BIBLE QUOTES in the name of war. THE CLOSEST THING TO NAZI'S a NAzi regime we have ever seen.

  There is another aspect to playing on the fears of voters. Fear, like many other emotions, can become addictive, and when everything is going well there are some that have to create fear to feed the addiction. Where's the next pandemic? When is the next terrorist strike? Is our food safe, etc.

  DEMOCRATS need to understand this about people. YOU HAVE TO KEEP THEM STUPID LIKE BUSH DID. IF PEOPLE ACTUALLY FIND OUT WHAT LEGISLATION IS ALL ABOUT AND HOW THINGS REALLY WORK IN WASHINTON THE DEMOCRATS CAN KISS THEIR MAJORITY GOOD BYE. BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE CONTROLLED BY THE SPECIAL INTEREsT. THIS IS WHY OBAMA IS HAVING PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEMS STARTED WHEN HIS OWN PARTY STARTED QUESTONING THE HEaLTH CARE BILL. THAT"S WHAT MADE PEOPLE LOSE CONFIdENCE IN THE PLAN. SEEING DEMOCRATS DISAGREEING WITH THEIR PRESIDENT, EVEN MADE ME QUESTION THE BILL. OBAMA CANNOT COMPROMISE, HE CANNOT GIVE INTO THE SPECIAL INTEREST IN HIS OWN PARTY THE BLUE DOGS. HE HAS TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOVERNING FROM THE CENTER IS TRICKY. HE IS THE PRESIDNET AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO BE A FORCE IN YOUR PARTY. AFTER 9\11 NO ONE DARE GO AGAINST BUSH EVEN HILLARY VOTED FOR THE WAR OUT OF FEAR. NO ONE IS SCARED OF OBAMA AND HE LOOKS LIKE A SCHOOL TEACHER TALKING TO A BUNCH OF CHILDREN AT THESE TOWN HALLS> THESE TOWN HALLS NEED TO BE MOVED TO UNIVERSITIES. AND YOUNG PEOPLE NEED TO BE INVOLVED MORE. I ACTUALLY LIKE BUSH BECAUSE HE UNDERSTANDS HIS KIND HE KNOWS PEOPLE ARE STUPID AND THAT"S THE WAY TO KEEP UM. FOX NEWS DEPENDS ON STUPID PEOPLE. WHO ELSE WOULD BELIEVE in SEAN HANNITY. HANNITY ACTUALLY THINKS THAT HE IS INTELLIGENT AND THAT HIS VIEWS ARE WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA. WHAT A TURD. STUPID PEOPLE MAKE HIM FEEL INTELLIGENT AND KEEP HIM ON THE AIR.
