Pollsters might be 'surprised' to find out that a large portion of the anti-Kerry votes are just that. You don't even need to really go through the whole "principled" type analysis to make a vote like M-Type ... you could just look at Bush, look at Kerry, and go with the gut. And America has a lot of gut. I think the Democrats hence are more concerned about another election where they might actually have a chance .... 2008. h:

In other news... it's good to see that there are a lot more freedom-haters than Texans here.... whatever that means.

I think this administration has willfully overexaggerated the terrorist threat for the main purpose of scaring the public into going along with its wacky right wing desires to start attacking other countries willy nilly and rescinding civil liberties. It's a pretty useful tactic, since so much of this country is already stuck with an us-against-them mentality.

Guess what folks? Terrorism has been around since way before Osama bin Laden was an itch in his daddy's groin. It just hasn't made it to U.S. soil until recently, and all of a sudden everybody's running scared and paranoid like it's the Cold War all over again.

I for one am sick of living in "fear," and this administration has done just as much if not more than the terrorists to foster that kind of sentiment in our country. Get rid of em.
