Crying Wolf to Build Support

Bush and Rove are at it again. Hmmm... coming up on another election. Let see, Carl calls for some terrorist media frenzy to shake up the American electorate.

Take a few minutes to remember 2002. Remember the frenzy then, and the fear mongering by Bush, Cheney and Collin Powell? All that summer, the boys were freaking out the American people with scary stories about the Weapons of Mass Destruction that Saddam had all over Iraq, how the terrorists were going to bring suitcases full of nuclear bombs. We HAD to have a major national debate by a fearful press (larded up with lie after lie by the Bush administration) about whether to invade Iraq. The polls early on predicted the Ds would pick up up to 20 congressional seats early in the summer, but after all the fear tactics, the Ds ended up losing seats even though it was an off-year election.

In 2004, Bush/Rove despite completely failing to come close to catching bin Laden, continued to wind up the fear of terrorism. Wagging the dog, the Bush White House talked and talked about how the terrorists were going to attack again, and attack soon. As the Iraq war drifted south, Bush continued to persuade unknowing voters that the war was just because Saddam was behind the 9/11 attacks. Ultimately Carl and the boys (especially Bob Perry and slick boat jives) attack John Kerry's stellar record in Viet Nam. Anything to suggest the terrorists could survive and attack the US.

And now, trailing by 20 points or more, George W. Bush and the Greedy Old Party want nothing more than some kind of terrorist threat to the American people. It's worked perfectly in the past, and the boys are hopelessly addicted to its drug-like powers. Watch now as Bush spins and spins the latest terrorist bust to convince the US populace to be afraid, be very afraid. Be so afraid that maybe you'll forget what W's been doing (or not doing) the last six years.

You'all better watch closely. This is a shell game at a global level. While you're all watching for the pea, the boys are going to steal another election!
